Calculate the number of hours you spend with your family.
Now do the same for your friends.
And then do for your place of work.
Who won?
...
Well... if that be the case, wouldn't one be surprised if sometimes, our primal instincts takes the better of us... and we fall for the guy next cubicle... (or atleast in the same building)
...
Work has no place for emotions, though that definition is changing. I read sometime back that MNCs are gradually encouraging relationships at work. Yes the devastating effects to
any break-up in the same could be tumultous, but then again, what can you do ? Its like the second home... and you are human right ...
So what do you do when you realise that you have fallen in love with someone you normally share the latest stock prices, market valuation of assets or boss's eccentric behavioural traits ... and then one day, you think that his dimples are too cute, smile is too sexy, shoulders are too broad, and the buldge .. well ... neway ...
And then you wonder how to proceed? If you are daring enough to do so ... and so you gradually tend to find excuses to spend a little more time with him, wonder how to strike a conversation, how to know a little more about him .. so gradually ask everyone around in a cautious manner .. in a round-about manner so that none begins to suspect.. pray that in the next team meeting he takes the seat next to you ...
try to catch him at lunch... and offer him a ride home or visa-versa..otherwise hope for a drink or bite after work .. and endless fantasies after that ... and life goes on ...
Sometimes you happen to put the brakes ... especially when you find that he is married / engaged / or has a girlfriend / or sometimes because of the infamous case of another colleague (female) falling for him and likewise ... and then you just wish that let there be a moment of weakness where the two of you ... and fantasies continue to grow ...
But what if you fall in love with him .. a crush or an infatuation too hard to get over .. and you know you have to walk up to him the very next day and ask for the review report .. and look at his checked blue and white shirt .. his neatly gelled hair... his shaven yet rough cheeks.. his lips .. his eyes gives you a tired and
diplomatic look.. and you wish that for once there wouldnt be these unspoken, unseen, yet so strong, felt walls between the two of you ... the walls between two cubicles... the walls of corporate policies... social status... growth potential... religious norms...
So you walk back to your cubicle.. and continue to fantasize ... and add more and more pages to that mental novel you have been writing ... a novel that puts Mills and Boons to shame ... makes Sydney Sheldon and Daniel Steel look bleak... and fades the essense of Brokeback Mountain... a novel that tells a tale of modern times ... A Tale of 2 Cubicles.
