who will not be happy
Who will not be ......?
Middle level engineers from countries such as Srilanka, Bangladesh, Mauritius, ..Saudi Arabia and so on were deputed to undergo a one month refresher course which we conducted in our department. They were provided accommodation in our hostels and were not permitted to bring their spouse with them. On the final day of the course, a valedictory function followed by a party was arranged. Certificates were distributed to the participants who were in high spirits, not because of the certificates they received, but because of the thought that they will be going back home to join their spouses and children the next day. So they were all in a state of exuberance and with some of my colleagues by my side, when I casually remarked at one candidate from Saudi Arabia
" you must be very happy to go back after a break of one month to see your wife"
His immediate reaction was " WHO WILL NOT BE HAPPY TO SEE MY WIFE? Immediately I could not react the way I could have reacted normally, since decency and decorum prevented me from doing so. However for the next few days, we laugh Ed and laughed until our ribs got fractured .
