We had an Economic Assistant who always wore suits and matching ties. 
His Officer was the emblem of simplicity—trouser and half bush-shirt. 

Once our Director wanted something 
immediately about cement prices and 
had contacted Nani Palkhiwala. 
The latter had instructed him to send 
his representatives. So the Officer and 
Assistant went to the Office of ACC. 

They were taken to the chamber of Palkhiwala who gave details required. The Officer had

brought a pad and pencil in which he was noting some points. Palkhiwala noticed this and told the be-suited Assistant, “If you want anything more I shall give you happily. Only send your stenographer. You need not waste your valuable time”. 

The duo were appropriately shocked, especially the Officer.
