As I kept looking at my watch, I felt a bit nervous. It was the pressure of the occasion. I was attending our corporate tech fair. I was supposed to deliver the keynote. We had a lot riding on this presentation as we needed the sales figures to go up. I was attending this conference with my boss, Sirisha.

Sirisha was a South Indian lady in her early 40s and a stern, no-nonsense type of person. I kind of liked that about her. She was highly motivated towards her work. She had a dark wheatish complexion with beautiful eyes that were very expressive.
