We make the effort to be there, flying from Delhi to Mumbai, and someone offers you a stupid suggestion. What should I do to entice them? All I can say is that they should not waste their life and should seek other interests. I've also instructed individuals to leave the samples they brought with them at the hotel and not take them home."
