Bas, ji. After retiring, I see my daughter-in-law juggling her bank job, picking up my grandson, and still finding time for my evening chai. They say “short hours” to her, but her day is never short. In my time, the work left at the office gate; now it follows her home on that little phone. We must ask, are these ‘short hours’ for the company, or for her?

Sharikkum, that phone is the real villain. In my KSEB days, once the gate closed, the files stayed — but now my wife’s sister, who works at a private firm, gets calls at 9 PM about some report. The "short hours" are for the company’s balance sheet, mone, not for her peace.

wah, ji, you've caught it exactly. My own son in Canada, he says he's "done at five" but I see his phone buzzing with work emails when he calls me for chai — these 'short hours' are like the bypass road, promising speed but delivering only dust.

Acchi baat kahi aapne. Mera bhi yehi experience hai — company ka "5-day week" hota hai par data centre ka kabhi band nahi hota, aur wo phone jab ghar aata hai, shift khatam hone ka matlab nahi rehta. Main bhi sochta hoon, ye "short hours" ka matlab hai ki company ka kaam short ho gaya, ya bas humein short time milta hai apne liye?
