There's a concierge service in the office. Which means that you can book movie tickets, train tickets, bus tickets, and pay your bills, all without leaving the office.
Yes. The management is really smart.
Well, I approached the concierge desk today, as I was planning to spend new year's eve with friends in Bangalore.
"Hi," I said. "I want to book tickets for Bangalore this weekend. To Bangalore Friday night, and back Sunday morning."
"Are tickets available?"
For a second, I wondered why my voice sounded different. And then I realized that the guy at the desk was asking me.
I looked around a little to ensure that I wasn't talking to the wrong person.
Nope. The board on his desk said "Concierge Desk". Right Desk at least.
"You work for the concierge service, right?" I asked, wanting to be sure.
"Yes, of course," he said, pointing to the board.
"So," I tried again. "About those tickets..."
"Are they available?" he repeated.
"Umm... err.."
"If you can find out if tickets are available, that would be helpful," he continued. "How much do the tickets cost?"
I didn't know what to say. I still don't.

Hope nobody was trying to pull a fast one on you (acting like some Concierge agent) . Usually, there is a lady who sits there and she is not this dumb.
happens......you will have to find out all the details....just that you have to give the money and they will book it for you...wonder why they are there in the first place...
