                         There was a certain small girl who, growing up, very quickly realized she had an abusive father. She was shoved and pushed; she had to quarrel growing up to keep herself safe, and she was probably beaten too. She eventually put her pain into singing, and she became known among the great singers.

Our management had taken over three stories of a boat-shaped building. Each department was given a separate floor.

It was employees like Raina who made life easier for customers and the...
