The narrative revolves around a man who uses humor to cope with the mundane aspects of his life and office politics. His wit serves as a defense mechanism against the drudgery and petty squabbles that surround him, but it also masks deeper insecurities and frustrations. The story explores the tension between his desire for individuality and the need to conform to societal norms.
