The September Effect

Any fellow articled slave of ICAI can understand the following (especially the ones working in MNCs!):

Yup. September in a nutshell.

Thanks to S, for the superb sum-up of our lives at this poignant and never-to-be-forgotten time.

* Clients A, B, C and D - on S's sincere and very scared request. These are India Inc big-shots whose names shall forever be shrouded in mystery. So here's all the dirt you're gonna get - A is a place where S's fondest memories are NOT, C and D have been draining the life blood from her the past few weeks, and B is where she will be shortly, and really wants to be, hence the good behaviour. [ I love not telling secrets :D ]

** Highly annoying and much relied upon sampling tool. (Ya, I did say only fellow CA students could ever get this)

^KS - the world's coolest manager, and probably the reason why S didn't mind dying in Clients C and D. He could make a sloth feel enthu about auditing!
