Hopeful

There has been a new lease of life to our team, in fact three lifelines, out of the blue. Yesterday I helped a guy set up his case and after three hours of hard work he thanked me and said his boss had told him the only hope to get it closed was to get me to help them. He said "I wish she was right about it, thanks a lot!". For a second I thought what the hell but then I could make out he was not English and I took it as "I know she was right" and made myself happy.

There are many around me who use 'hope' for 'guess/think' and it got me a while to get the actual meaning out of it.  Like in the below conversation, -

A-  "Do you know if C is in the office today?"
B - "I hope he has left for home just now"

Among the new generation of actors, I like Rajkumar Rao and Vicky Kaushal. The vulnerability that they bring to their characters is endearing and most welcome.
