Early in the morning when no one is around, I like to walk down the stairs in the E Block to get to archana, and several times I have seen a strange and wonderful thing happening.

I pass the two elevators in the E Block parked on the ninth floor, just over halfway to the top.  First one of them opens its doors; then the other; sometimes both are open at the same time; and periodically one lift goes up or down a floor, opens its doors and then slowly returns to the ninth floor.

It can only mean one thing!  The elevators must be in love; and we are looking forward eagerly to the arrival of a baby elevator, which will make life easier for those of us who do not want to climb up fifteen floors.  There is room in the stairwell for this new elevator, and we are all on tenterhooks awaiting its coming.
