Bhaskar hurried home. He couldn’t wait to tell his wife and son what had happened at the office that day. Pushing the door open, he stumbled in, sinking into the sofa. Seeing him, his wife got up, “You know the gas....”
“Sit down. You would never guess what happened today.” He cut her off, and sat her down. Bhanu sat next to him, looking at him. Kiran put down the remote and watched his father.
Bhaskar caught his breath and started relating the amazing incident. “I had just finished tallying the morning collection. There was a shortfall of Rs 320. And I rechecked all the invoices twice before I found the error. And just as I sat back, relieved at having reconciled everything perfectly, I sensed some people entering the room. And guess who it was? Our GM. He headed straight for my desk. He smiled and asked me about my job, what I did. And he listened and nodded as I explained everything. I even explained how I had managed to tally the accounts to the paisa that day. He patted me on the back – imagine, the GM himself patted me on the back, and said, ‘Very good. Keep it up.’”
Bhaskar paused to catch his breath. “It was astounding. My boss stood behind, and even he looked pleased.”
Bhaskar was beaming with pride. He was excited like a small child.
Bhanu sat silently for a few seconds. Then she said, “You know the gas cylinder is giving problems again….”
Kiran took up the remote and resumed changing channels.
