Abstract
Sandeep Sharma waited eagerly for his friend to drop in to the restaurant. It was 6:30 pm in a Friday evening and he had taken a short break from his busy schedule. He had some urgent work to be completed, before he left for the day. The day after, a meeting for parents was scheduled at his kids school. He wanted to take one day leave for the same, since it was the first meeting of the year. His son started going to school just a month back. He had discussed the same with his Regional Sales Manager Varun, but
it was not clear whether he really understood the matter or not. Sandeep was a bit worried. Was Varun upset with the way I asked for a leave? Why didnt he give a proper reply to me? Why did he hang up the phone so fast? There were no critical functions for the next day, but then this new task given by Varun kept him occupied. He wanted to finish the task as early as possible and get his leave approved.
