Am currently reading a not-so-long legal document. Hardly 60-odd pages. I am not that much of a speed reader, but I do average about a page-a-minute if it is a Chetan Bhagat kinda novel. But this document has taken me two whole days and a lot of hair pulling.
I don't know if I am in breach of any confidentiality provisions, but the clause I am quoting is generic enough to hopefully not land me in trouble.
Here's the original clause:
I don't know if I am in breach of any confidentiality provisions, but the clause I am quoting is generic enough to hopefully not land me in trouble.
Here's the original clause:
"Notices or other communication given or made under this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered or sent to the relevant Party at its address"
The revised version reads:
"Notices, demands or other communication required or permitted to be given or made under this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered personally or by registered post or by courier service or by legible telefax addressed to the intended recipient at its address"
Now I start thinking what other possible way of delivering a Notice (note the capitalized 'N' in Notice... it means it is not just any notice, it is the defined Notice!).
Then I start thinking of carrier pigeons...
Which leads me to "Kabutar Ja Ja Ja"...
Which in turn leads me to dream of Bhagyashree and drool...
And her "Himalayan Blunder"...
Which sets me off thinking about how marriage, in general, can be a Himalayan blunder, irrespective of whether your spouse is named after said hills...
Which in turn reminds me that one of my friends is getting married...
And therefore I should try to get a day off and attend it if possible...
And I will get to take a day off only if I finish my work fast...
Which brings me back to the document that I was attempting to read through in the first place...
Only for another such clause and its revision to set me off thinking another chain of random thoughts...
I am not done. Or rather, I am done for.
