A mentor meeting (Special Case)

Srinivasan goes to the mentor meeting.

I assume it would have been as detailed below

Mohan: Hows work?

Srini: Good

Mohan: Any troubles you are facing with work?

Srini: No

Mohan: Are you liking the kind of work you are being given?

Srini: Yes.

(Mohan gets irritated after a while with the monologues and remembers his mentor's words)
Turns to Srini and advices...

Srini, you must talk more. Make this session more interactive and discuss things.

Srini nods his head and ...

Srini: Hows work ?

Mohan looks more confused than ever and speaks lesser than Srini did.

Mohan: Come. Let's go. Time to continue with the work !

Srini: Thank you Sir.

Mohan has already started the car.........

Total time taken: 10 minutes (6 minutes to drive. 2 minutes of conversation. 2 minutes to return to the car)

An outsider would have easily understood that the folks are from the advertising industry.

How ? !

Simple Logic: Ads are stories told in 30 seconds, while feature films tell the same story in 2 hours !
