Business Cards

There's this business card etiquette that says that you must spend a few seconds carefully scrutinizing a business card given to you and then place it in front of you (as opposed to stuffing it into your pocket).

Which was why I found it difficult to keep a straight face throughout a meeting when a business card that I got today said below the name, 'Grandson of Mirza Ghalib'. And the fellow was'nt even a poet!

I'm still pulling out the card every few minutes and chuckling to myself. And between chuckles, thinking if I AM impressed by the fact that he's Mirza Ghalib's grandson. Coz if I AM, the card may just have had the desired effect.
