Laptop Chronicles - III
An aunty who studied with Sara badi mummy attends our Church. Her youngest daughter’s husband works in the Sales Tax Dept. As I had to get the Authorization letter signed by the Sales Tax Authority, mom contacted the didi.. Now we didn’t knew that jeejaji was stationed at a Check Point and was not in Raipur. So she talked with him and then told me to come to her office[she's the Manager @ Co-operative Bank here] with the letter and she will get it signed by sending it to the Tax dept.
I went there at around 11:30am and chatted for a while with didi. She asked me if I had any work to do and all.. As I was free at that moment, I told her that. She then told me it would be best for me to accompany her peon to the Sales Tax office. Jeejaji had talked with a co-worker of his [Mr. ABC] and asked him to get the job done.
We reached the office @ around 12pm and went to see Mr. ABC
Peon: Sir Namaskar.. I am Kiran Mam’s peon. This is the girl Sir talked to you about.
Mr. ABC: Whats your name?
Me: Grace, Sir
[I give the letter to him and he skims over it]
Mr. ABC: Hmm.. you are buying it for your personal use naa… [it was already mentioned in the letter]
Me: Yes Sir.. the company wants the letter for their record purposes..
Mr. ABC: ok..
Mr. ABC: You live in [XX] area?
Me: Yes Sir.
Mr. ABC: Then you have to contact Mr. DEF as he deals with the things related to your area.
