A bug's life

So again there was a bug in the code, he had to accept that he was about to miss one more family dinner today. Work never spared Piyush . He would not be boarding his conventional 7.49 CST local today. A mumbaikar knows the importance of 7.49 local and 7.51 local, he thought. He informed his mom about his undesired situation. With sadness on both sides the phone was hung. He went back to his desk and started resolving the bug of the day ! Few minutes later, there was an announcement in the ODC that "Dear Associates, You are not allowed to leave the office premises until further announcement. Thank You.

Sneha was the one to break the ice. She said, “Looks like someone is already on a mission to compete with me.” Rohan immediately closed the book and said “Sorry? I did not get you.” He was puzzled. “Hi. I am Sneha. Sorry for what I said. It's just that I am good in academics and I love flaunting it.” with a wink and a naughty smile she made Rohan's puzzled look to disappear. Rohan was now uncomfortable, but he mastered in not showing it. He replied back with a casual Hi to Sneha.
