July 2016,
Office Pantry.
I walked in to the Pantry. Got my water bottle filled. The pantry was vacant. So I thought of spending some time there. The TV was tuned to Starsports1HD. The best part of these Corporate TVs is they normally are tuned to either a sports channel or to a news channel.
The channel was streaming repeat telecast of some Kabaddi match. One of my colleagues walked into the Pantry. He came to me, normally he starts the conversation with stupid questions.
He (looking at TV): What is Rio2016?
I was amazed. Wondering how come someone is unaware of such a big sporting event.
Me: Olympics boss. Starting from next month.
He: Then what is difference between Olympics and Rio Olympics?
He was now testing my patience.
Me (in frustration) : This year's Olympics is being held in Rio. It's a city in Brazil.
He (scratching his head) : Oh! I thought Rio Olympics is an animated Olympic kind of event featuring Angry Birds. You know when you start playing angry birds, it starts screen displaying Rio.
I banged my head with my water bottle and left the Pantry.
