Secrets Unveiled

Being five feet one and a half inches tall is not good for your lower back. None of the usual positions are comfortable when you are small. When the legs align well, the neck gets strained and when the back is well supported, the feet end up dangling in the air.

My personal favourite is the cross-legged position, though I can never get my eyes at the desired top viewing angle. I really wished I didn’t have to suffer so much because of my size.

I am talking about office chairs, by the way. And people tell me I have a one-track mind. You see, the office chairs, much like office t-shirts, are ordered in bulk, typically for sizes M and L. So for the likes of us, who are petite, these supposedly ergonomic chairs turn out to be quite a challenge! Anyways, so I was sitting cross-legged in my medium-sized, blue, ergonomic chair, working on my to-do list, when I heard the familiar husky voice.

‘Everything in control, Suhaani?’ asked Deep, as he entered the cubicle. It had been over a month since we went public as ‘just friends’. Yet, every time I heard him say my name, I felt the same nervous excitement as I had felt talking to him the very first time.

I had always been comfortable talking about sex with both my girlfriends and guy friends. I could discuss PMS with my guy friends with the same ease as I could talk cricket with my girl gang. Somehow, most Indian guys mistook my sexual candidness as a loose bolt in my character. This was one of the reasons I was wary about marrying an Indian. Deep, however, seemed different. If there was one thing I had begun to enjoy while working together with him, it was our non-stop raillery. Touchwood, so far, he hadn’t misinterpreted it or made any physical advances at me.

Back to work, the top-most item in my to-do list was to classify my email contacts using a newly downloaded email prioritization tool. One hour of uninterrupted, focused effort and BOOM, magically my inbox was reduced from fifty to six VIP mails. Two from Deep, one from the big boss, and one each from SnapDeal. com, FashionAndYou.com and Jay. Facebook, of course, was a category in itself and I was professional enough to only check it once every couple of hours while at work. I was debating whether to
