Thirty years across this desk and I have seen every kind of stamp and signature. But the most official thing is the silence in this room after 5 PM, when the last peon leaves and you are still waiting for the file that decides your transfer, the only sound the steady *tik-tik-tik* from the leak in the terrace tank above. You learn to measure your career in drops of water.
