On a recent flight from Delhi, I was sitting next to a 55-year-old gentleman who works as a technical support consultant for large engineering companies. I’d like to keep his identity private, and will refer to him in this article, as Mahesh Kumar.
Mahesh told me that his schedules were so demanding that he invariably spent 20 days in the month, traveling. And then, the revelation: Mahesh had not gone on a single holiday over the last 25 years. (That’s more or less the number of years your timeshare resort will package for you in a vacation ownership plan.)
