Say yes for the sake of formality but when

 Being informal is not a bad idea. Being hundred percent informal may break your business into pieces. Building a business requires to gather hundreds of bits and pieces. It takes sweat and build and unknowingly you break it when you are hundred percent informal. Being too much informal is sound rigid even if you don't mean then too a client, a customer, a support staff may consider you dominating or arrogant.

And justified this statement my own ways, the young kid in me.  If I walk from my home towards East may be 10s of Kms then there is all land, land for agriculture, towards West its all forest, towards South may be forest with Lions but if I go towards North 7 km then there is market and Railways. So less railways/market, more land and hence India's economy is based on agriculture. Though this supposition was purely childish. But in my teens I realized its not untrue either. Geography was there to prove the facts. And to my surprise later I learnt boys and girls learn Agriculture as a Subject and then got to know Ag Sci is also taught in America. For me land was something on which I will work to buy my dream car.  Hey, that
