I joined as an Associate Manager in a firm, We used to have parties in a year. I used to make arrangement in Luxury way, but one of my associate (she was beautiful and diplomatic) always suggested me to spend less on decoration, food, gifts..etc. Her advice is 'Less is More'. I got irritated and told her to mind her business. Years went through, I moved out of the branch. I still invited for the parties and the problem is whenever I been in the party, she comes and tease me like talking to everyone (except me) and sometimes hug them. She never look into my eyes and she avoided me particularly. Its hurts a lot and also made me to feel small in the party. So I said to my friends not to call me for the party and explained my inability to them. They agreed and stopped calling me.
Few months before, one of my client called about his daughter's wedding and likely to spend 2 million. He can only mobilize 1.3 million and wanted me to arrange loan for the rest. I told him to send the details on Excel sheet. After going through, I discussed with him about reducing the expenses and advicing him about 'Less is More'. After the marriage, the client invited me to his house gave a warm reception, hugged me and praised the concept of 'Less is More'. And that day onwards, I started passing the concept of advice 'Less is More' to every client and got appreciated. Then one fine day, I started thinking, Why the same advice brought me bad memory and when it worked nicely for others. And it also costed me a relationship. I started respecting her and its grown day by day and started loving her.
A few weeks back, there was a call from my old office to join the party and assured she was not participating in it. I went to the party all went smooth. Suddenly, she entered the party with well groomed Saree and started to steal the attraction. Now, I am even more disturbed coz I started loving her and cannot take any more insult. and I had no other choice decided to leave the party but my friend explained that her presence is surprising to them. then I had an another choice, to join another female colleague to whom she doesn't have a proper terms. This time, she never came close to me but that female colleague said she is staring at us as if she going to burn both. The party ended and I was waiting alone at the office entrance for my friends to drop me. Suddenly someone pushed me a little and left. I found it was her, she wiping her tears and going to the car park. I went behind her and to ask what happened?. She never responded and got into her car. And, she almost banged me with her car and left. I almost collapsed of her behavior and started to walk alone to my home (its few kilometer away). Thinking, thinking about the incident and my perception slowly changed that…. 'LESS LOVE MEANS MORE'.
