“Why did Mira get married at this time, if she knew what was coming?”
“Why are you talking about Mira? What she does is none of our business.”
“Mira? Which Mira? Tell me la.”
“ OK, its like this. We have to form a legal company. To speed things up, we could buy one off the shelf.”
“And how would that help?”
"No. I wont. I just wont"
“Just imagine. With our own company, we could venture into so many things. Really diversify. And we don’t have any stupid bosses to answer to.”
“Sounds good. But how about the risks? And how do we solve Mira’s problem?”

"And the crunch? The pay cut?"
“How about potatos? They’re cheaper?”
“Listen. There are set ways of doing these things. We cant just do what we like.”
“I tell you what. Lets talk to Mira. Maybe she will reconsider. And we all can have the cake and eat it too.”
"No. I wont. I just wont"
“I think I will go ahead and set up the company.”

They all trooped out silently.
