WITnessed : Manager Baggage...

Rakesh, my ex-manager, was taking a ride with me in my car. We approached the car and he wanted to put his bags in the boot/trunk/dickey.

Rakesh : Open up your back side!
Pratik : Never! The only thing I'm opening up is the trunk of my car...
And I'm so glad you're not my manager anymore!

After getting into back seat...

Rakesh : I'm too big to fit in the back!

(Though the last line was a general comment and not in the same context – you dirty mind!)

WITnessed : Work Tips (or Not)

Harika : Dude, I was happy about getting my own desk at work... but its in this ugly little corner and I have nothing to do most of the day.
Deepika : *thinking seriously* Hmmm... Do you have a window next to your desk?
Harika : Ya ya ya! Why? *excited* (anticipating some brilliant advice)
Deepika : So then stare out the window whenever you're bored!

WITnessed : Welcome Farewell...

We were having Amar's farewell lunch at this hotel called Swagath De Royal.

Rakesh : They should rename it "Alvida-De-Royal" for today!

(In Hindi, "Swagath" is "welcome", and "Alvida" is "farewell".)
