I had conversation with a former well known business personality in a famous sports club. He used to be in high places in the govt and in business. Reason? He was a friend of the top honcho of the land. He became chief of high profile govt offices, including a financial institution. He also had his own business.
He was the friend of the new and outgoing top honcho. The incoming had great dislike for the outgoing. However, he made the mistake of having the birthday of the old man celebrated within the premises of his office. And then somebody made a gossip about the punctuation mark.
