Manager : Pooja, I have been noticing for last few days, you are not taking your job seriously.
Pooja: No sir, it’s nothing like that. In fact sir, I am pretty disturbed these days. I’ve certain family issues.
Manager: Pooja, you have always been a star performer. I want you to perform your best irrespective of the personal issues.
Pooja : Sir, I promise to continue my good work. But sir, I have a request…
Manager: Tell me.
Pooja : sir, I was thinking if I could get few days leave.
Manager: How many days you need?
Pooja: Sir, at least a week.
Manager: Though it is going to be difficult without you because Vineeta and Anjali are already on leave, but I think you have a genuine reason. I will manage.
Pooja : Sir, I’ll be very thankful to you.
Manager: Pooja, Let me suggest you something. See, there are so many problems that we face in life but we are always having certain responsibilities too. Responsibility may be of any kind; personal or professional. We need to manage them together without reflecting stress in one another.
Pooja : I know, sir.
Manager: I understand that our family issues do disturb our professional life. But managing both simultaneously is an art.
Pooja : I agree, sir. Your suggestions are always worthy.
Manager: This is nothing but my experience of 50 years.
Pooja : Sir, are you 50 years old?
Manager: I am rather 60.
Pooja : I can’t believe it, sir. You don’t look like.
Manager: But I am.
Pooja : Anyway, sir. Thank you so much once again.
Manager: Go, sort out the issues and come back with the same energy.
Pooja : Sure sir. Thanks
