Shyam Belekar was a business executive in his early sixties. He was tall, medium built, active and energetic. In his youth he had been an athlete. He had taken good care of his health and looked ten years younger than his age. He had a full head of salt and pepper hair and was reasonably good looking. He was always well dressed and had a commanding presence. He had had a long and distinguished career with Trident Limited, a large multinational company and had worked in senior executive positions for the last couple of decades.
His wife was in her late fifties. His children were grown up and well settled. The wife was busy with her children and grandchildren and with her circle of friends, while Shyam was busy with his career. Both were quite happy to give each other the space they needed.
Shyam had recently moved to one of the company's ailing subsidiaries as a director, at the express request of the Managing Director. He had been entrusted the task of turning around the subsidiary. He had spent the first few months in tightening his grip over the organization and pondering over what needed to be done to revive its fortunes. He had soon concluded that a new direction was required for the marketing function. Shyam decided that it was best to hire outside consultants who could bring a fresh perspective. Mr. Srinivas, the owner-director of Sigma had worked under Shyam many years ago as a junior executive, before leaving to work with another large company. In due course, Sigma Marketing Consultancy was retained as consultant by Trident. Mr. Srinivas readily agreed to Shyam's request that he would like to vet and handpick each member of the Sigma Marketing Consultancy team assigned to work for Trident.

Kalpana was happy and excited in the morning, as she got ready to go to the Trident office. It was a big day for her -- she was going to be interviewed by the big boss of Trident and if he approved, she would be part of the Sigma Marketing team on the Trident project. She gave herself an appraising look in the mirror as she dressed. She was pleased with what she saw.
She was blessed with a clear brown complexion and thick, shiny black hair. Her bust was generously proportioned, topped with thick brown nipples. She smiled as she recalled fondly how quickly her hubby Kapil was able to make them stiff, often without even touching them. Her slim waist emphasized her wide, fertile hips. After having borne a couple of children, her belly was well rounded and the otherwise smooth skin bore stretch marks...
She chose a simple yet smart, crisply ironed, well fitting cotton salwar suit to wear that day. She wore light makeup; just lip-gloss, eyeliner and a small, thin line of sindoor in her hair parting; she was happily married and proud to show off that symbol of her married status. She wore comfortable leather sandals with two inch heels, to make up for her deficiency in the height department. She was just a little keyed up as she hurried on her way...

Kalpana was pleasantly surprised to be ushered into Shyam's office exactly at the appointed time. Shyam put her at ease and drew her out, listening attentively as she gradually opened up. Soon, Kalpana felt her anxiety and reserve dissolve and she started talking freely about her education, career, experience, thoughts and opinions. She even told him about her husband and family, to which he too responded by sharing information about his family. Shyam, like other senior executives was adept at interviewing people, having been trained in interviewing techniques and having had extensive experience to hone his skills.
When she left his office, she was happy. Although it had been a formal interview, it hadn't felt like one. She appreciated Shyam's warmth and the way in which he had made her feel comfortable & at ease. She felt that Shyam seemed to be taking a personal interest in her. He seemed to hold eye contact just a bit longer than necessary; in fact he seemed to be checking her out, although it was done discreetly, so as not to give offense. She however brushed the feeling off, telling herself that it was nothing. In fact, secretly she felt flattered that a big boss, that too a charming and pleasant one to boot, was paying attention to her. Unlike many other men who seemed to undress women with their eyes, Shyam's glances felt more like gentle caresses...
