Mother: Anuj has gone out with his friends...will u have tea ?

Shyam; not now maa....i will go to jyotis room 1st....

(This had been a ritual which Shyam had been following for the last 2 years religuously..straight on reaching home from work..he would head to Jyotis room and chat up with her...on his day at office ...the daily rigours )


Shyam : Jyoti really sorry yaar...just cudnt find time to call you...had a terribly bad day..i wonder at times, why are we  working so hard ? For what ?
