Chapter 16 - De-Light

19 March 2052.

A slightly warmer day in Leipzig. Lanka Labs gleamed with its decorations. It's a big day for the cocksure Indrajit as he's far more than just delighted to launch his ambitious project 'Delight' to delight the world. Perhaps, Draupadi was too high on fun to place a hifen in that word.

Guests arrived in flocks. Indrajit was too busy to breathe. That's why Anu was there - to breathe for him.

Raghav, Sankarshana and Janu received a head nod as a greeting. But, obviously, Draupadi received them all. Aditya rarely got out to get some sunlight.

A large stage was set on the ground floor. It looked more like a marriage than a launch, if it were not for the bar in the corner.

Raghav was the only one wearing a suit. It's been long since suits had become grandpas' wear. But, that doesn't bother him. Neither did his son who protested against his old-age fashion. As expected, Raghav and his family had a glass of orange juice each while Draupadi was drunk as a fish. She didn't have to speak anything today. She's done enough. It's time for her to bask in her own success.

Indrajit spoke like he was awarded an Oscar. But the feel of a launch was completely gone. It was a celebration. The launch was itself a success for Indrajit as the app would take care of itself once released in the wild.

The investors were in the front row, as it happens in every other launch. But, what doesn't happen in every other launch is that, it was the proprietor's family sitting in the front row.

The app proved its potential. It spread like a wildfire across the seas. A more appropriate comparison would be the Great Death.
