I just came to cabin from site.
Gosh, even at night times, i was sweating alot. Coz of this ramzan month, we are working in night shifts as working in day time is pretty difficult that too while in fasting.
Last week.....
We were given a deadline to complete the work in a particular floor, and hence we started pushing our sub contractors to bring more man power and speed up the work.For any work to be done in time, that too in construction field, the main thing we need is the materials. If we have material in the stock, we can complete any kinda job in time! So we had put the indent for all materials which we need to complete the work and passed the indent to our purchase department.
Today....
My phone started ringing!
It was anwar, my foreman calling from the other side.
"Salaam Raja bhai!!", anwar greeted me.
"walaikum salaam anwar, bholiye", I replied. ( Bholiye - "Tell me" )
Anwar: Raja bhai, aaj kaam ka saaman nahi hai!! ( We dont have materials for today's work)
Me: Acha, meh indent pehale daalthiya bhai. Tum ek Kaam karo, aaj first basement-ka supports poora daalo, meh material-ka arrange karega ( Oh, i had put the indent before. You do onething, fix the supports in the first basement, i'll arrange for the materials in between)
Anwar: Teeke bhai, aur materila kal aayega?? ( ok, can we expect the materials to come tommorrow)
Raja: Insha Allah
I hanged the line.
I searched for Mr.Kaleel's number in my mobile. He is the purchase executive for my site!! and more importantly, he is a tamilan!!
I called him!
Me: Kaleel bhai, enga irukeenga?
Kaleel: Am in office, enna matter sollunga!
Me: last week Materials indent potom, enna aachu?? oru material kooda varala innum!
Kaleel: Last week ah? innaiku thaan athu en table-ku vanthuchu!!

Me: Kashtam. We are in urgency now, Konjam seekarama yerpaadu pannunga!
Kaleel: Yeah, i'll try my level best!
Me: ok kaleel bhai! and one important matter.
Kaleel : Enna sollunga!
Me: ANTHA INDENT-LA "PONNI ARUSI" IRUKULA?
Kaleel: YEAH YEAH, IRRUKU
Me: THATS GOOD. QUANTITY 35 NOS THAANA IRRUKU?
Kaleel: YEAH.
Me: OK BHAI, MARANTHUDAATHEENGA, "PONNI ARUSI 12MM X 17MM SIZE WITH RED OXIDE COATING".
Kaleel: YEAH, I'LL TAKE CARE. U DONT WORRY. I'LL TRY TO DELIVER THE MATERIAL BY TOMMORROW.
Me: ok, cya!!
I hanged the line!
Just a matter of minute i hanged the line, anwar called me again!
Me: Kya bhai?, bholo!
Anwar: Raja bhai, meh abhi dehkna, MERAKO PONNI ARUSI AUR BASMATHI RICE THO CHAHIYE BHAI" ( JUST NOW I CHECKED, I NEED PONNI RICE AND ALSO BASMATHI RICE)
Me: Kya anwar, heh kyun pehle nahi bhola?? ( Wat is this anwar, why dint you inform me before)
Anwar: Meh abhi dehkna bhai, kya karega! ( Me just now noticed, wat to do?)
Me: Acha teeke, koi mushkil nahi! Meh dekhna ( Thats ok, i'll see)
I hanged the line and then i called kaleel again.
Me: Kaleel bhai, sorry to disturb you again.
Kaleel: Paravalla sollunga!

Kaleel: Prechana illa, evlo quantity?
Me: Ithuvum 35 nos theva paduthu! Again the same, Basmathi rice with Red oxide coating, 12mm X 17mm size.
Kaleel: Ok, naan arrange panraen.
I hanged the line.
"Basmathi rice ok, but ponni arusi seriya vegaathe...enna panrathu??" I was seriously thinking!!
........
Suddenly someone called me n i woke up from deep sleep!
ha ha, it all happened in dreams! I started laughing!
"Namma padicha engineering elaam oru second-la comedy-ah poche, all these basmathi rice, ponni arusi!!", I thought.
Luckily, my dream got disturbed before i receive the material, orelse who knows i would've cooked briyani too!!
My phone ringed, and this time not in dream!!
It was my project manager!
Me: Tell me sir
PM: Raja, wat happened to the materials? did u received it last night!
Me: Yes sir, we received rice!!
