Keep Yourself Healthy with Oil and Butter

“Arrey Paachu Da, today again chips”, Kabla gives an unnecessary big grin to his boss while managing a handful of corn chips from Paachu Da’s hand.. This is not the first time he managed to snatch a handful from his boss Paachu’s packet of chips which sometimes Paachu reluctantly shares with Kabla, Gobindo, Poncha and a few more are there in the list who every time tries to snatch Paachu’s day time food which consists of few packs of corn chips and potato chips and a dozen of bananas..



Kabla’s normal day starts with waking up in the morning at 9’o clock which Kabla considers very early, gulps down six jumbo sized ghee fried alu-parathas, two boiled eggs and a glass of creamy milk in the breakfast prepared by his mother, who being a very affectionate, gentle lady always concerns for her son’s health and remains very worried with the thought of her son’s getting weak by taking such a paltry diet. Kabla then hurries to the bus-stand to get the office cab which is scheduled to pick him up at 9.45am. He boards the cab while giving a quick glimpse at the other seats of the Tata Sumo to get an idea of the sitting position of his nice female office colleagues in the cab as well as to gain an instant knowledge of their attires.. Kabla very well knows that how this knowledge will help him in the knowledge sharing sessions with Gobindo, Poncha, Ghanta as soon as he reaches office.. Although Kabla sometimes gets green with Gobindo who not only always coordinates those session but has a better observation power in terms of the dresses, the vital stats and many other parameters of his office girls, yet he considers himself a better contender as Gobindo is an ugly short heighted obese married man with a 4yrs old son..Kabla considers himself genuinely handsome with pair small black greedy eyes, long poking nose, curly hairs, very fair complexion, medium heighted with a very well bulged tummy..

Anyways, Kabla makes his sitting comfortable in the cab and starts his idiotic conversation with Fultushi, sitting beside him in the middle row of the Sumo. Fultushi is a nice young girl except few very irritating facts that she considers herself Miss World and her continuous, unnecessary chats especially with the boys will give a person a beautiful headache even if he/she is not participating with her in her irritating chat session. I have given her a special name, ‘The chatter box’. Who am I? I will ask my readers to have little patience before I come to my introduction. Let’s go back to Kabla’s schedule.

Kabla manages to give his attendance to the office by swapping his access card in the electronically controlled entrance system and logs into his system. After checking few mail accounts, bank accounts, and orkut, facebook, legbook, handbook and myriads of other ‘etc-book’ accounts (thanks to the social networking sites), Kabla gets charged up and feels like smoking. Since smoking is prohibited inside the office, he goes to his smoking partners, Gobindo, Ghanta, Poncha and asks them to join him. They all seem very happy with Kabla’s proposal and joins Kabla not only in Smoking but their ‘special’ knowledge sharing sessions. Sometimes the Hr of iThrust, (the name of our company), Kobra da also joins them in the smoking zone. Kobra Da is a very descent guy and doesn’t like Kabla n company’s knowledge sharing sessions except the fact the he uses the word ‘exigency’ instead of ‘emergency’ too much in his mails whenever there is a reason to fire mails to all-employees-Kolkata@ i-thrust.com. Kobra Da is a nice person and crazy about sports be it is cricket or football or indoor games say ‘carom’.

After such a nice smoking Kabla returns to his cubicle, opens his system; while doing so he starts chatting with Fultushi, giving a big yawn says, ”What a hectic day, so many works to do!”.. yawn… “Ah! Fultushi, when is Ghanasyam Da coming?" ..yawn.." You must be knowing his timings”… a very big yawn….

Fultushi, who sits next to Kabla, is not found in her seat most of the time, rather she is found either in Ghanasyam Da’s cubicle or in her recent chat partner Ghanta’s cubicle.. In spite of her unnecessary chatting habits with male colleagues, Fultushi is otherwise very proactive, sincere girl, try to show a lots of attitude (especially in front of Ghanasyam da and Ghanta and few more guys are there in the list), which she doesn’t have, ends up in immense foolishness or stupidity…She sometimes becomes or at least shows hyper-pro activeness in any project (either she is a part of or not). Ghanasyam Da who is the direct reporting boss of Fultushi, Kabla, Gobindo, as well as me is very fond of Fultushi. Ghanasyam Da is a nice guy almost in his mid thirties but still a bachelor, enjoys Fultushi's company very much, often takes her out to lunch.. Fultushi knowing his weak point, takes this as an advantage and gives him an extra lift by flirting, blushing , going out with him, even enjoying the remarks which others throw at her regarding her relationship with her dear Ghana Da (Ghanasyam in short) especially in front of him. Fultushi represents herself to be utterly innocent as if understanding nothing at all but at the deep core of her heart she knows that this flirting ends within the boundaries of office only; she is never going to be a part of Ghana Da’s lonely life.. Higher Ghana will float in Fultushi’s sweet dreams, better will be Fultushi’s position in iThrust.. Fultushi’s approach has given her a very good hike both in her salary and designation this year and she knows this is very right to survive in this industry… Hey readers I think there is at least one Ghanasyam da and one Fultushi in every company and this is what we say in hindi “Chit bhi apni , pat be apna” means a win-win situation for both the parties. Our super boss Paachu Da in very happy with Fultushi and why not, he seldom gets high praises for Fultushi from his favourite Ghanasyam.




Well we have shifted a mile from Kabla and Fultushi’s Conversation.. Fultushi gets very amused with Kabla’s remark about her and her Ghana da as well as with his big yawn. “Uff, Cant you yawn silently, you are making such a noise that I can’t concentrate” ..Fultushi responded back to Kabla ..“and by the way why I should be knowing of Ghana Da’s timings”..Fultushi added blushingly…In the meantime Ghanasyam Da arrives wearing a funky shirt, it seems he has such a bad dressing sense. Ghanasyam Da settles in his seat giving a quick glimpse at Fultushi from top to bottom accompanied by a very special eye contact with her. Fultushi who is well acquainted with Ghana’s cheap (oops! sorry readers, the word should be ‘praising’) look responds him back with an innocent but inviting smile. “Whats going on Kabla”, Ghana commanded..”Why are you irritating our dear Tushi (Ghana calls her in that name)”..Kabla chuckles “yeh Ghana Da, aa , I mean, aa, ee, oo, uu, ii, (all the five vowels), there is so much traffic on road no!.. I mean I was asking Fultushi whether you are coming today, aa, oooo you are looking so handsome today, where have you bought this shirt from? Its suits you so much! ” a smooth layer of butter which Kabla is very much professional in layering both Ghana da as well as Paachu Da..Ghana seems extremely pleased with Kabla’s complement (butter) that the butterfly red collar of his yellow shirt went up and he stares at her dear Tushi for her complement as well..Tushi goes close to Ghana da and takes out her handkerchief and starts to clear the white dusts on Ghana’s collar..”Oh yes Ghana da you are looking so young and dashing in this Shirt..Some dusts were here spoiling your collar. Now it’s okay I have cleared them. ”.. Dear readers those white dusts are not dusts which Fultushi also knows, but dandruffs from Ghana’s almost bald un-shampood head for months (three fourth of his hairs have fallen)..She knows very well that he is such a dirty fellow not washing himself for months or brushing his teeth..However, Fultushi’s gesture makes Ghana extremely pleased. A high adrenaline rush increases his heart beat. Fultushi taking the full opportunity of the circumstance naggingly adds “Ghana Da there is nothing special in Canteen today”..”Oh Don’t you worry dear, I will take you to ‘Dopium‘ for lunch today..”..Fultushi chuckles “Oh Ghana Da you are such a dear!”..Kabla stares at them frustrated and wonders if he can be borne as a girl in his next birth….But Fultushi’s mission is accomplished…
(To be continued…………….)
