‘No, let’s go to a neutral venue without relatives.’
‘Good point. Let me organise something,’ I ended the call.
I went back to work. I didn’t have a fixed division or boss in Citibank Delhi yet.
I floated between departments, pretending to be useful. I had a temporary stint in
the credit cards division. I had to come up with a credit card promotion plan,
something I had no interest or expertise in. I opened the existing brochure of
offers for our credit card customers. We had a special deal on a package to Goa.
I picked up the phone and called Ananya again. ‘Goa,’ I said. ‘Let’s all go to
Goa. Nothing like the sea, sun and sand to make the two families bond. Plus, it
will be fun for us, too. What say, next month?’
‘It won’t be cheap,’ she said.
‘Isn’t love the best investment?’ I said and fumbled through my cards to call
the travel agent.
