CHAPTER 4(b)
ALL THE NAMES & PLACES ARE FICTITIOUS (if any resemblance to persons & places is purely coincidental). Any royal titles, RELIGIOUS STORIES AND TERMS; MEDICAL PROCEDURES, MEDICAL TERMS, MILITARY PROCEDURES, MILITARY TERMS, Punjabi terms, architectural terms, IT terms & programs, office hierachy, wedding rituals, etc. are from my imagination hence THEY ARE NOT TRUE.I'M NEITHER ENDORSING NOR ENCOURAGING ANY NEGATIVE BEHAVIOUR & CRIME TOWARDS CHILDREN. Its just a "fictional" story for entertainment purposes! PLEASE READ KEEPING IN MIND THAT THIS STORY IS FOR ENTERTAINMENT & DRAMA IS PART OF IT !!!!! If you don't agree with the concept of the story as well as my point of view (POV) of story presentation, kindly DO NOT READ THIS STORY!
ALL THE PHOTOGRAPHS DOWNLOADED DO NOT BELONG TO ME BUT BELONG TO THE ORIGINAL UPLOADER. I HAVE JUST USED THEM AS THEY GO WITH MY STORY!
"Are you married?" Maan asked.
The young girl thought something and said, "No Sir, I'm not married as yet."
"Miss Singh, what is your age?" Mrs. Rodericks asked.
"Age Ma'am?"
"Yes. We can get into trouble for child labour." Mrs. Krishnan explained.
"Ma'am, I'll be 20 in few months time."
Hence, the interview started. But this time Adi, Mrs. Rodericks and Mrs. Krishnan were asking main questions with few questions in between thrown in by Maan regards Architecture. Once Adi, Mrs. Rodericks and Mrs. Krishnan finished their questions, Maan asked, "Miss Singh, if you get married within three months or less after joining KC, how do you intend doing justice to both responsibilities?"
"Sir as there is an extremely low probability of my marriage as I'm still studying but incase the situation does arise, I intend to do justice to both my responsibilities to the best of my capabilities."
"I hope so. Kindly wait outside we will call you soon." Maan ordered Gayatri Singh.
Once Gayatri left, there was a discussion going on between Adi, Mrs. Rodericks and Mrs. Krishnan.
"I think she is perfect for the job." Adi said in favour of Gayatri.
"No she is too young." Mrs. Krishnan objected
"Besides she has no experience regards secretarial skills of typing, filing etc. Also she has no experience in field of Architecture so..." Mrs. Rodericks faultered expecting Maan to support her.
"I think Mr. Khurana..." Adi started to be interrupted by Maan.
"Aditya, kindly see that everyone address' me as "MAAN SIR." So that there is no confusion between reference to my father and me. As far as Miss Gayatri Singh is concerned, I agree she is far too young with no secretarial skills and no work experience in field of Architecture. But she has one main asset which none of the 27 candidates we interviewed had."
"What Sir?" Adi questioned.
"Decency and work ethics. She was dressed as is expected in a work place as well as in no way was she trying to attract attention to her feminity. Work experience always comes with time and age. Hence, if she meets with Khurana Industries' HR's rules, regulation and policies, I suggest we give her an appointment letter after taking CEO's input off course. I guess we have recorded the interview." Adi, Mrs. Rodericks and Mrs. Krishnan nodded in affirmative.
Maan reached his father's cabin in KC and collapsed on the couch there. Maan was confused that how could he feel such an extreme desire to make Gayatri his when he had vowed 14 years back himself to HIS MISHTY, His Geet! He opened the venetian blind in his father's window to relax but saw the same girl Gayatri Singh playing with tea stall vendor's children and dancing with them as if she was same age as them. Each time she jumped with them her blouse went slightly high exposing her milky white skin of her abdomen from in between the saree palla. Seeing his desire rising, he quickly closed the venetian blind and went to washroom to bring his emotions under control.
Throughout the night, the moment he closed his eyes he had visions of Gayatri jumping and her blouse riding higher exposing her milky white skin of her abdomen. And as Maan was feeling guilty regards his developing romantic feelings for someone else other than his Mishty he closed the windows of his room facing Geet's room.
NEXT DAY
Maan reached office before time as he was unable to sleep. It was 08:30a.m. when he heard some noise in his adjacent secretary's cabin.
When he opened the blinds he saw Gayatri arriving wearing a printed, dull and sober Tussar silk sari.
Along with her were Mrs. Rodericks and Mrs. Krishnan instructing her about where in KC which rooms & cabins are situated etc. as well as briefing about KC's work culture.
Meanwhile at 09:00a.m. Gayatri saw Raghuveer, Khuranas' driver bringing MD's office bag and lunch thereby formally announcing Maan's arrival in Khurana Constructions. At 09:05a.m., there was an announcement on central speaker system. "Acting MD (Managing Director) of Khurana Constructions,Mr. Maan Singh Khurana would like all management, staff as well as administrative staff, peons, janitors, cafeteria boys etc. to please gather in KC's main auditorium before 09:30a.m. Thank you."Then same message was repeated in Hindi. The message was twice again repeated in Hindi and English after five-five minutes interval.
Sharp 09:30a.m., Maan walked on the stage of the auditorium with attitude and said, "Priye Management, staff, administrative workers, peons, janitors, cafeteria boys aur KC mein sab kaam karnewaalon ko meri Namaste! Aap sab jaante hain ki agle hafte mai Khurana Construction ke MD ki kursi par beithonga. Yeh kursi bahut hi pratishthawali hai aur aasha karta hoon ki iski pratishtha badhane mein "aap sab" meri madatt karenge.
Mera kaam karne ka tareeka mere Dadaji aur pitaji se bahut alag hai. Mai unki tehra galatiyon ko maaf nahi karta. Mujhe alasi aur kaamchor log naapasand hain aur aise log mujhe gussa dilate hain. Mujhe jaldi-jaldi gussa aata hai iss liye aapse meri request hai ki aap apne kaam par hamesha dhyaan rakhen. Mai chahta hoon ki jab bhi aap log Khurana Construction ke andar aayen aap sabko sirf aur sirf kaam ke baare mein sochen naa ki "aaj kaunsi picture dekhni hai, chaat khaane chalte hain yaa kaunsi dress khareedni hai" etc. Office timings mein sirf kaam hoga koi gupshup nahi. Gupshup ke liye aapke paas lunchtime hai. Office timings mein koi bhi lobby mein; washroom he bahaar yaa khaali conference room mein jhund (group) banna kar chugli (gossip) nahi karega. I HATE GOSSIP!
Kaam karne ke style mein bhi kuch badlaav aayenge. Magar iss badalaav se aap logon ki rozgaari par asar nahi hoga. Asar sirf unn Management, staff, administrative workers aur workers par hoga jo aalasi (lazy) aur kaamchor (inefficient) hain. Haan re-structuring zarur hoga, jiss se kuch log Delhi se transfer ho kar Mumbai jaa sakte hain aur kuch log Mumbai se transfer ho kar Delhi aa sakte hain. Agar aap mein se koi bhi kissi neeji karan se transfer par nahi jaa sakte toh jald se jald mujhe yaa Mrs. Mahalakshmi Krishnan ko bataa dijiyega!
Antim baat ki Khurana Construction (KC) ek "office" hai iss liye yahaan ki kuch maryaadain hain. Jaise pehla "pehnaava". Management, staff aur administrative staff ke liye koi uniform nahi hogi magar 'dress code' hoga. Men ke liye, winter's mein suit with tie aur garmiyon mein trousers with formal shirt aur tie. NO JEANS & SHORTS! Men ke baal chote katte hone. Ladies ke liye saree with full sleeve blouse; ladies suit Indian yaa western; yaa knee length skirt with full yaa 3/4 blouse sleeve. NO SPHAGETTI STRAPS, SHORT DRESSES, MINI SKIRTS YAA SHORTS! Ladies ke lambe baal bandhe hone jhude mein yaa choti mein aur chote baal pinned hone jisse neat lagen. Aapko ek hafta milta hai apni wardrobe ko re-arrange karne ke liye. Ek hafte ke baad agar koi dress code follow nahi karta toh har roz usse 1000 rupiye fine ke taur par KC ko dena padega! (bringing a gasp from gathered audience).
Ek baat aur jo log cigarette peete hain, paan aur tambakoo (tobacco) khaate hain, ideally unhein yeh buri aadatt (habit) chodh deni chahiye magar "Its easier said then done." Iss liye unko ek special room cigarette peene ke liye diya jayega. ISS OFFICE MEIN PAAN AUR TAMBAKOO KHAANA ALLOWED NAHI. Agar kissi ko bhi paan yaa tambakoo khaate dekha gaya yaa usse peekh maarte (spitting of paan & tobacco residue) dekha gaya to usse bhi har roz 1500 rupiye fine ke taur par KC ko dena padega! Aap log lunchtime ke during bhi paan aur tambakoo nahi khaa sakte. Dhyaan rahe ki har jageh CCTV cameras hain.(bringing even a louder gasp from gathered audience than before) Cigarette peenewalon ko kewal din mein do baar cigarette peene ke liye apni kaam ki desk chodhna allowed hai. Agar woh do baar se zyaada cigarette peene gaye toh unhein bhi 1500 rupiye fine ke taur par KC ko dena padega! Main asha karta hoon ki kuch dino mein KC ek professional work place bann jaayengi aur hum sab ek team ki tehre kaam karenge! Dhaniyavaad!" (Good morning dear Management, staff, administrative workers, peons, janitors, cafeteria boys and KC staff! You all are aware that in couple of weeks I'll be taking over the prestigious job of Khurana Construction's MD. As its an extremely prestigious job, I hope that you all will help me in keeping its prestiage intact.
My working style is very different from that of my father and grandfather. I don't forgive mistakes! I despise lazy and inefficient employees and thereby it makes me angry. I'm an extremely short tempered and impatient person therefore I suggest that you all stay alert and attentative towards your work always. I expect that whenever any employee enters KC, he/she should only have work on his/ her mind not anything else i.e. "lets go for a movie", "let's go out for lunch" or "lets go shopping" etc. Office time is meant for work and only work not for gossip. You can gossip as much as you want during your lunchtime. During office time no one will form groups and gossip in the lobby, outside washrooms or in vacant conference room. I HATE GOSSIP!
Yes, there will also be some changes in style of working, but this change will not bring any loss of jobs! However, it will effect the workers who are lazy and inefficient! Yes due to re-structuring, few people will be transferred from Delhi to Mumbai; and few people will be transferred from Mumbai to Delhi! If you have any personal problem in moving out of Delhi please let me or Mrs. Mahalakshmi Krishnan know as soon as possible!
Last but not least, this is an "office" and hence there are some professional code of conduct and etiquette expected. First is style of dressing. Management, staff and administrative staff will not be expected to wear a uniform but they will however have guidelines regarding 'dress code'. Men in winters are expected to be dressed in business suit with tie and in summers, dressed in trousers with formal shirt and tie. NO JEANS & SHORTS! Men should have crew cut hair style NO LONG HAIR for men! Ladies should be dressed in sudued colour saree with full or 3/4 sleeve blouse; or ladies suit Indian or western; or in a knee length skirt with full or 3/4 blouse sleeve. NO SPHAGETTI STRAPS, SHORT DRESSES, MINI SKIRTS OR SHORTS! Ladies long hair should be tied in a hairbun or tightly braided; if short hair then neatly pinned up. You get one week to re-arrange your wardrobe. After one week if dress code is not followed, everyday the employee is not correctly attired, he/she will be fined i.e.pay to KC Rs 1000.(bringing a gasp from gathered audience).
One more thing for chain smokers, tobacco and paan (betel leaf) chewers, ideally this addiction is bad and should be left but "Its easier said then done." Therefore, chain smokers will be sanctioned a room in KC where they can smoke. PAAN & TOBACCO CHEWING IN THIS OFFICE IS NOT ALLOWED. If anyone is seen chewing paan and tobacco or spitting of paan and tobacco residue, then that person will be fined by KC Rs.1500 daily. You all also cannot chew paan and tobacco at lunchtime. Beware there are CCTV cameras all over KC . (bringing even a louder gasp from gathered audience than before) Chainsmokers are allowed only two smoking breaks in a day. If they leave their work desk more than two times for smoking then that person will also be fined by KC, Rs.1500 daily. I hope in few months time KC will become a professional place where we all will work as a team. Thank you!)
There was pindrop silence from the gathered audience as they were still digesting changes in the office dress code and etiquette. Non addicts of smoking, tobacco & paan chewing were ecstatic with rule changes but addicts of smoking, tobacco & paan chewing were very indignant and furious.
Rest of the day was very hectic for both Maan and Gayatri as both were trying to learn their new job.
Plz press 'like' & comment (if possible?)
