Testing of our new release is about to commence and the whole floor is buzzing with quiet activity. The other day when there was a short period of network disconnect,you should have seen how the busy-bees came out of their cubicles. There was smile on everyone's face, movement, chatter and everything and once the lines were restored, it was as if someone had switched off something; all back to their seats with their heads bent.
This kind of distractions are hard to come by. Everyone is hard pressed for time;I don't know how we manage to be that way every time! Today there was our quarterly fire drill. Even for that half an hour, people came out as if fish out of water, lazily out of their cool cocoons to fill out the ground. When the 70-year 'young' fireman's voice boomed and echoed around, it strangely made me lose focus by its sheer volume and took me back in time to the days of Scouts and Guides, Independence Days and Republic Days, and the speeches that echoed against the walls of the Taluk Office.
