Abstract
An early morning conversation between Kumar and Shah, the two neighbours turned ugly when Kumar disclosed certain information about Singh, who was present during the conversation. Singh felt embarrassed by the disclosure and mildly expressed it to Kumar during the conversation. However, Kumar didn’t know the severity of this disclosure and went on talking more about the episode. Singh had never interacted with Ms Shah before and thus had a low level of intimacy with her. Disclosure of personal information irreparably upset Singh. Unfortunately, Kumar had little clue about the reason for her distress and remained worried and clueless all day long. Kumar’s inability to defuse the tense situation immediately aggravated the problem. The issue, if not resolved, could cause a rift between Kumar and Singh forever.
