Comfort Conversations

How Are you? How is Life

D going in the lift. Meets a stranger, they exchange smile and short "how are you?"
D: Doing good. How are you?
Stranger: Oh wonderful, have a great day.
[Lift Episode over]

D meets a lady in the washroom, she is adjusting her lipstick.
D: Oh thats a nice colour looks good.
Lady Smiles...

D goes to the cafe to make some coffee... no milk. Small Frown.

Enters her office area, cable disconnected, area not clean. Frown increases.

Checks her mail, managers starts a chat -
Manager: Good Morning D, how are you?
D : Good Morning Manager, I am fine [cribbing internally], How are you?
Manager: Blah, blah, blah, not done , not done, not done.
Frown gets changed to anger, dismissal, disapproval.

Opens a chat window with her BFF
BFF: How is life?
Ah now is my chance to open the can of worms....
D: man .... dont ask, what a day it has been. Can't customise cook, nothing working fine, DD didnt get ready on time, running to catch her bus, DS did nt eat his breakfast today. Grrr... nothing going fine.
