My boss at is a amazing fellow to work with. I realized that after working in my firm only for about a week. He is an amazing communicator and much better listener…  (Sic! He’s totally NOT!!) Whenever anyone confidently speaks 3 to 4 sentences in English, he agrees with the person by ecstatically saying, “Definitely… Definitely!!”. And that too in a freakishly rustic accent.

I was about to close my first deal, a pretty big one mind you! It was a deal after which I could sit around and do nothing for the next month! It was for a branding campaign in the cities of Delhi, Jaipur and Chandigarh. I had literally closed the deal until my boss said that he will come along with me.  I had no choice but to take him along, which is when tragedy struck!

We sat with the Senior Manager of the client. And just to put us off the course, she says to my boss, “You know Mr. Mishra, we do have offices in Jaipur and Chandigarh, but I really don’t think that we might look at those as options for your branding plan. We don’t have much presence in those 2 cities… plus the budget is tight… ”

My boss after hearing such “high level” English, dumbfounded, blurted out, “Definitely… Definitely!!”. Eventually, we lost the deal…
