THE EMOTIONS AT.... 'THEIR UNEXPECTED BEST!'??

The Manager nearing 40s all along doing a good job was promoted to the Higher Level and was transferred from his beloved city to another distant place to take up the new responsibilities.. As his leaving date neared, the emotions ran high for the inevitable separation and a Colleague informed him,

• "Dear! Our New Association President made it customary to physically shake hands and bid 'Good Bye' to all leaving Officers of the Company expressing 'his own emotional involvement'.. This Friday, he invited you for a small Meet in his Office!" 

No doubt, on the appointed day and time the gentleman was in the Association Office along with a few of his close friends, colleagues, a few members of the Association along with President and his Office Staff.. Some tea and snacks were served and the President started his speech,

• "Gentlemen! Today we are here to formally give a warm send off to Mr…........ At this stage of his active Career, he's going to take up a higher responsibility........ but equally we very much miss him here afterwards......"

suddenly he paused to the surprise of all as his voice got choked with an unexpected emotion but soon continued with a broken tone.... 

• "Having worked with him for over 15 yrs..... "

At that point of time, the land line phone rang loud, and the big man had to go out immediately for few minutes keeping other waiting.. The close friend in ruptures remarked,

• "He too got overtaken by the pain of separation!"

As promised, the President returned in 10 minutes saying,

• “Sorry for the interruption.. There was an urgent requirement on which I had to answer our GM.. OK.. Let's continue our Farewell Program.."

and started..

• "Gentlemen! Today we are here to formally give a warm send off to Mr…........ At this stage of his active Career, he's going to take up a higher responsibility........ but equally we very much miss him here afterwards......"

suddenly he paused to the double surprise of all as his voice got choked with an unexpected emotion but soon continued with a broken tone.... 

• "Having worked with him for over 15 yrs....."
