Opened my laptop bag in a client's conference room and found my daughter's 'emergency snack'

Mid-demo, reaching for the charger. Out comes a small steel box with four biscuits and a note folded into a square. The client's whole team saw it. She'd heard me tell my partner the meeting might run long. Apparently this is what the box is for.

      Underlined twice 😄 Mine used to leave notes like this at that age. Now the notes say 'buy chips' and are stuck on the fridge. Sambhal ke rakhna, the box and the note both.

      Keep the note. Last week I found one from my meye at that age in an old diary: 'Baba drink water.' She still tells me the same thing at 14, minus the sweetness 🙂
