Hi All

Here comes next update. Please ignore errors and typos.

Happy Reading.

Adarsh considered Sanskaar carefully. They were in his cabin and Sanskaar had something important to discuss that morning. He expected it to be about a new deal or a project or some brilliant ideas which usually Sanskaar came up with but no way anticipated this.

From past 2 years, Sanskaar had been an integral part of the intern recruit committee and played a key role in technical interviews. His unique knack of tapping right talent fitting the needs of Maheswari group came handy and they would often joke around Sanskaar shifting to HR. And now all of sudden he didn't want to be a part of it.

"Why Now? Are you concerned because you have been a guide to intern ..but aren't guides supposed to be a part of it? Your inputs are what we count upon ..and you know that! Sanskaar." Adarsh waited. When nothing came in...

"Am I missing something?" Adarsh frowned.

Sanskaar took a minute. If Laksh was his personal confidant, Adarsh Bahia had been his professional mentor. He always a nurtured healthy respect and looked up to him in various aspects of the business... but discussing love life? Sanskaar cleared his throat.

"Bhaiyya, a clash of interests. personal and professional"

Adarsh processed the words carefully and it took only a few minutes for him to deduce. The little frown taken over a quirk of amusement " Are you telling me you have fallen for an intern?"

That was quite right on point. Sanskaar nodded "I am afraid, its yes"

"And you are serious about it?" It's written in his eyes, Adarsh thought, amused. His little brother..in love.

"Dead serious," Sanskaar confirmed.

Adarsh nodded. " All set? I mean when are you breaking the news to the family?"

Sanskaar found the conversation easy going ."I am still working on it, bhaiyya In a week or two. I mean I haven't proposed yet..and I..."

"Do it as soon as possible. " Adarsh smiled and walked to Sanskaars side. "Pari keeps bugging me about your marriage because she wants to have a partner in crime..and Maa...I think she will be the happiest one. Dad, I am sure will not have issues though I doubt the name 'Bose' might have complications. We will work that out. And if you need a piece of expert advice.." Adarsh smiled and patted on Sanskaar's shoulder with a suggestive smile.

After a few minutes, Sanskaar walked out of the cabin with a huge smile on his face. Well, that went very well. There was a reason he chose to opt out of committee. Maheswari Group had been always known for its transparent and unbiased process and he didn't want his personal equation to mar the image or give a chance for some to point.

Swara is capable on her own and he had no doubts she would clear rounds with flying colours and as discussed with Adarsh, Pushing Swara's viva voce to last day wouldn't be a problem at all, as interviews tend to stretch across over series of days and submission of medical certificate as per process was all that needs to be done. Shouldn't be tough, given the hospital is under Maheswari patronage.

Last night Swara had been tensed about the project. Did she have to when she has the boss in her kitty? But No! She wouldn't even look at it that way while he was sure most of them wouldn't have hesitated to exploit the advantage. That is what sets her apart. Too naive and pure-hearted with no malice. He assured it would be taken care of ..but what followed next was his favourite.
