PLANET RS
Victories come in many shapes and sizes. An unlikely cricket series win or an RS issue without any typo. A smartphone that doesn’t break after hitting the ground or finding the last empty seat on a bus during rush hour. An office/New Market chicken patty with real chicken pieces inside. Any salary that remains after the month ends. In our case, finally getting an office space dedicated to RS after haggling 1.5 long years. Now another 1.5 years to get the computers moved there from the basement. This week, we celebrate the little and the big deals in our lives. So we got robots and cricket and Bond and Archie comics. Because next week, it’s the end of the world.
