Signature Moments (#9)
In the heart of the bustling city, there lived a craftsman named Arjun, the last of his kind. While others in his trade sought to expand their operations, adding more workers for large-scale projects, Arjun preferred to remain a "business" unto himself. His canvas was not corporate towers; instead, he found joy in the meticulous work of painting homes and adorning walls with vibrant wallpaper, drawing upon decades of experience.
One day, as Arjun worked diligently on a quaint street in the city, a curious onlooker caught his eye. It was Ashrith, a corporate employee who often passed by on his way to the high-rise where he worked.
Intrigued by the artistry he witnessed, Ashrith struck up a conversation with Arjun. "I've never seen someone take such care in their work. In my world, it's all about deadlines and targets," he remarked.
Arjun smiled warmly, his hands still at work. "In my world, every wall tells a story. It's not just about the colors; it's about the soul of the space."
Ashrith, momentarily captivated, asked, "But why remain a 'business' unto yourself? Why not expand and take on bigger projects?"
Arjun paused, wiping his hands on a cloth, "I believe in the personal touch. Each stroke, each wallpaper hung is my signature. It's not just about getting the job done; it's about creating something timeless."
