Ricky: Hi. It’s nice to see you
Mona: I am glad to be here.
Ricky: I haven’t seen you around here before. Have you joined recently?
Mona: No. I work in the marketing division. I’m here for a few months.
Ricky: Oh, you may find working in our office a little boring. There is no fun here.
Mona: But to me it sounds like a refreshing change.
Ricky: Are you on some special assignment?
Mona: I am expected to assist the chief administrative officer Mr.Nair in a new project. Probably he hasn’t turned up yet.
Ricky: He won’t be here till 11 today. Would you like to enjoy a cup of coffee?
Mona: Yes, it’s okay. It was supposed to be a very hectic day today. But till this moment I have nothing to do.
Ricky: Did you watch the cricket highlights yesterday?
Mona: No, I don’t really follow cricket. Though I have some glimpses of the game off and on.
Ricky: It was a great game. India won easily. Do you think our boys are going to make it to the final?
Mona: I’m not sure. Even if they make it to the final they won’t be able to beat the Australians.
Ricky: Sehwag is in terrific form. Yesterday his sixty came up only in 30 balls.
Mona: Only one or two batmen can’t carry through the game on their shoulders. Moreover under pressure Indians collapse easily.
Ricky: But this time our boys seem determined. They may turn the tables.
Mona: Let’s hope for the best. Since when have you been with the company?
Ricky: I joined last year as an assistant manager.
Mona: I think I must call Mr. Nair. I can’t sit idle for long.
Ricky: Well, I better get back to my table now.
Mona: Thanks for coffee.
Ricky: See you at lunch again.
