Cooling off and having Fun with friends be it fauji style or corporate style everything works
It is nice to also have loads of fun after work , it cools of high tempers and stress. In Army it was customary to have a beer session at a senior house if the senior gave a firing in work hours. The friendship circle in corporate is certainly not on lines of die hard that develops over a number of years of tried and tested fights and make up with each other what we go through in trenches in NDA . For me all friends are good but with some difference due to culture difference anytime spend (with military friends it was a childhood with them and with corporate now it is a new level of friendship that enriches ones life with mutual respect for each other)
However in companies good understanding and professional liking for each other competencies is also the basis for corporate friendship all involves apart from personal likes of friends . .
That also reminds me there was an email send to me by my fauji friend.
Sharing an email floating around that brought back loads of memories of fauji friends , I think I can remember them among my corporate friend also.
