Truth the leveller

"Aaj kitno ko chuna lagaaya bhai. Bag toh badaa bhaari lag raa hai" Chamanlaal exclaimed when they met in their so called office...
"3 laalchi business wale, aur ek churan faayde ka sauda. Fir kya, Loot liya.. Poore 20 lakh.. Haraami kitne laalchi hain re ye sheher wale. Apnon ko bech denge faayde ke liye" Raj exclaimed.
"Toh tu kaunsaa doodh ka dhula hai bey" Chaman added, while they both shared a laugh.

 

He had been working with Sundaram Chit Funds for the past 1 year. Raj knew that the business was a sheer scam. But he got a big cut, so he enjoyed duping people

   Yet, that day was so different. He just entered his cabin when he saw a form on the table. 

He just lifted to see the form and froze in horror with what he saw...

Name:Smt.Nirmala Devi. The photo confirmed it all... His mother's form had been filled in... She was just duped by a scamster in his own office. His world fell apart... His conscience pricked...

 He could not believe what had happened. Anger steadily started rising within him....

"Aaarrrrrgh' he shouted on top of his voice while throwing the vase kept on the table on the mirror on the wall... His anger was so intense that he wanted to beat up every single person in his office who was a part of the scam...

But somehow his legs just gave up and he sat down in his chair nearby. Tears which had evaded him till date started trickling down his face... He sobbed uncontrollably...

 He wanted to talk to her... but what would he say. "Aapka beta chor hai Maa" he spoke to himself..

 He lifted his mom's application and the cash and kept it in his bag... He reached home and there she was waiting for him with a smiling face...

  He ran and hugged her and started to cry loudly... His mother, though shocked initially at his reaction, calmed him down... She sat down on the floor while Raj rested his head on her lap..

He narrated the entire incident to her while she grew more shocked at the incidents which he narrated. "Main bahut bura insaan hun maa"

"Listen beta", she spoke calmly as though she had everything planned in her mind.

"When u started working for this scamsters, you knew what you were doing. 

Being quite well educated,You always had a choice naa.. To choose between what is right and wrong. It is the path which we take which makes us who we are.. 
Just because your mother got duped today, it pricked ur conscience and hurt you badly. Just imagine what would be going through the people whom you've looted all this while. Unke bhi toh Maa, Pitaji, Biwi bachhe honge naa. Kya pataa ab woh kis haal mein honge."

 "Now I'll not say much further, but you know what you should do. I trust you on that". She got up and went into her room...

That moment, Raj got up, and left his house... he reached the street and called out his usual rickshaw wala frnd.. He knew what he had to do...

"Oye Birju, Chal Ramnagar Police Station"...

"Kyu bhai kuch jhol hua kya" asked Birju....

"Haan, Jhol hua...Par ab se nahi hoga.. Aaj surrender karunga khudko... nayi shuruwaat hai ye" Raj said while he climbed into the auto.

He knew he had made the correct choice this time

Micro Fiction: Ego: I won right???

The meter read Rs.27.00.
Akash gave 3 10Rupees notes to the rickshaw walah and waited for his change...
"Chutta nahi hai... 7 rupya khulla do" sandesh the rickshaw wallah said.

"Nahi hai matlab kya yaar. Poora din toh sawaari kiya naa.. kaise nahi hai chutta. Check kar, zarur hoga tere paas".
Sandesh outraged said "Ab tu decide karega ki mere pocket mein kitna chutta hai saale".

"Abbe saala kisko bola bey. Jyaadaa udtaa hai kya. Rukh teri main bajaataa hun". He called up om the RTO helpline and within 5 minutes the local Beat Marshall came to the spot.

Sensing trouble Sandesh apologised to the RTO Marshall and Akash and paid the 3 rupees change. Yes.. he had 3 rupees change all the time.

Next day while akash was crossing the road to catch his usual rick to office,
A carrier van which rammed into him and he died on the spot...
The van did not stop and nobody even noticed the number of the vehicle.

Vikas the van driver told sandesh "Saale kutte, 3 rupye ke liye ye tune kya karwaaya merese!!!!
Jaan le li ek bandhe ki sirf 3 rupya chutte ke liye".

"Saalaa mereko pulice mein pakdaane wala tha... abhi pahucha diya upar seedha. End mein apun jeet gaya na???"

Vikas just nodded his head in disbelief.

Winning is everything????

"Oye Veeru" Jay Mehra yelled thru the intercom... "Takle ne bulaya hai..Jaldi aa jaa"
"Thik hai tum jaanaa, main piche aataa" Veeru mumbled in his broken hindi...

Veerabhadra Mudaliar had been working with Royal Valves for almost 10years in their Madurai office and yet, he could not grasp hindi at all.. He always ended up putting in bits and pieces together.

Back in their boss Anand Takloo Gupta's cabin, both Veeru and Jay presented their ideas to him on a deal which both were working to grab .
"Jay...tera idea achha hai Satyam pumps ke liye. ye client ko tu hi deal kar aage se" Anand exclaimed...
"But Anand, Ye idea nahi kaam karna Madurai mein. Main tamil log ko achhe se jaantaa" exclaimed Veeru.

"NO VEERABHADRA, u will not interfere in this project anymore..IS THAT CLEAR???" Takloo exclaimed in a rather high pitch. "Ok Anand" Veeru tamely sighed and left the cabin..

Veeru was Very Upset. Being the top most performer year after year and getting all biggies as clients into this company, he thought he shud have got the 1st preference.
"Bloody Northy Donkey" he mumbled under his breath while Jay came up to him to talk...

"Takle ke saamne bhadaktaa kyu hai tu.. thik hai ek hi toh client gaya..tere inne saare aur bhi toh hain.. chill maar oye" Jay said and went into his own cabin.

He immediately called up his best friend, his dad..
"Appa... help" he exclaimed and narrated the whole incident..
His dad exclaimed "Dont worry kanna, God is great". And he hung up.

Jay had informed Anand that the client had asked for a month's time to get back on the deal, since the deal value ran into crores...

After a month, Jay called the accountant of Satyam Pumps, but his landline was not working anymore...
Feeling something amiss, He immediately reported it to Anand..

Anand fortunately had the owner's mobile number, just in case if a call was to be made...
He called him up immediately..
"Hello Satyam Ramamurthy sir, How r u doing. This side Anand Gupta from Royal valves. What happened Sir, we were supposed to close the deal"

"Gupta, which world are you living in...
I sold my company 10days back and now I am a independent director in it...
Seriously, try to keep a closer tab on ur clients" Exclaimed Satyam.

"Ohhh!!!!! Is tht so.. I was not aware of this development" sighed Anand. Sweat had started forming on his forehead due to the News which he heard later...
He realised there was a bigger game being played out there.

He immediately hung up, and summoned both Jay and Veeru immediately...

"Jay, I am taking you out of the Pumps deal. They specifically want a Tamil speaking person only to deal with them".
"So Veeru kal se tum handle kar lena unko"

"Lekin boss what happened suddenly with Satyam Pumps. Till last month they were ok with me handling them." Jay exclaimed

BECAUSE IT WAS SATYAM PUMPS TILL LAST WEEK.
Its now MUDALIAR PUMPS and they specifically want Veerabhadra to handle their account....

Jay realised what had just happened and left the cabin quietly and was walking towards his,  when Veeru smirked at him and said "I ALWAYS WIN BUDDY...Veerabhadra Mudaliar ALWAYS HAS THE LAST LAUGH"
