N. Raghuraman's column: Happiness in the office should not be an extra facility, but a culture
You want to go to the washroom in the office. But you are getting restless, not because there is someone in the washroom, but because you are looking for a place to keep your glasses, which will remember to pick up the glasses from there when you return.

My eyes were searching for something heavy, like a tree branch or something else, that might have hit my window and fallen into the flowerbed. This is the place under my window where we keep some small pots. But I looked down and saw that there was a bunch of feathers and leaves scattered there. I picked him up. It
