In the past few days, I've been thinking of the latter category.. Where did we lose touch.. why don't we talk the same way we used to ..etc..

I had an important meeting & a presentation that day & I wasn't too keen on bunking work. Although, there was a match screening at the office canteen, I wouldn't be able to attend it. I planned on sneaking in some time during the presentation & catching the highlights on my phone. When I entered office that day, the entire atmosphere was abuzz with excitement.
