Q for Quietened !!

"Tell me Rajiv, what do you say?"

After several futile attempts, Karan had finally managed to reach out to Rajiv.

After the telephonic discussion with the MD, Karan knew he had to make one final attempt to get Rajiv back into the team. Having made multiple calls to Rajiv with no avail, Karan finally decided to meet him at his place. 

"Listen Rajiv, I know how you feel about the whole thing. But you have to got to understand and look at the bigger picture here. I have already briefed you about my discussions with the MD. They are showing a keen interest in our idea and are ready to take it to the next level."

Even as Karan kept on talking, Rajiv was sitting quietly. Karan was not very sure whether he was paying attention to what was being said. 

"You can be the point of contact for our team. We have been through this earlier Rajiv, I am not interested to hog the limelight or run the show by myself. For me it was always about the team and it still is.", Karan continued passionately. 

"But Karan, Kumar told me that is what you always wanted to do, hog the limelight at the expense of anybody, be it your own team mate". Rajiv spoke suddenly.

It was Karan's turn to be quietened. Two words in the statement hit him hard. Hogging the limelight was one, but the mention of Kumar made Karan go quite. 

"Kumar? Where did Kumar come into the picture Rajiv and what did he tell you?", Karan questioned, even as he struggled for words.
