"Ok, McFlimsey didn't work out. So what? there were at least 15 other top bracket consulting firms who would be coming, you will surely get through one of them", Ankita had said during their team meeting for Market research. She knew it was easy for Ankita, after all she was a a sure shot merit lister and she already had a McFlimsey shortlist in her kitty, what did she know of the plight of the I-am_born-leader-but-I-have-nothing-to-show-for-it types. This leadership business was really killing her. Add to it her mother's domestic woes. This was the third day in the row the maid had not turned up and her mom had invited guests over. Her mother was getting hysterical and she was almost incoherent over the phone. Sulekha didn't know how to console her so she told her that her maid too had not turned up and that was because it was "Maid's day". Her mother had somewhat calmed down after listening to this and the situation was under control. Now , Sulekha or Silly has her friends called her could focus on the more pressing problems at hand.
The first of which was her project. She didn't have a clue about what to do and she was not sure whether people in her study group even bothered. She was sure she would land up with a B again. But then every dark cloud has a silver lining and every bollywood villain has a hero and every problem has a different reason for joy. she was looking forward to the special cuisine in the cafeteria. Talking of the cafe, they actually served special cuisine everyday , it was just that some day to add that extra zing they garnished it with either cockroaches,wires,fungus etc. Now what's wrong with that? Isn't differentiating yourself the new business mantra to survive?
That is after all expected from a b-school cafeteria. Sulekha didn't mind the cockroaches though. she sort of had a soft corner for them, so she was actually annoyed with the cafe guys killing the little innocent haplings and serving them up just to add spice.
