The Electrician

dear kamalji

that was nice of you to remember govind
he was a god send
when your thought the prices were sky high
and he predicted that you would need
power high
may his tribe increase

Regarding an AC, I bought one in Delhi (Carrier), and it has served me well so far. I bought a second one in Kolkata, also Carrier, and it's not half as good. I bought the first one when I was Head of the Delhi Centre of ISI and my Administrative Officer used his contacts to buy it for me. I suppose that explains the difference in quality.

The second of your jokes reminded me, perhaps without rhyme or reason, about a Johnny Walker joke. What film was it? Can't recall, perhaps Chheniay knows.

Beggar to JW: Give me a some money please, God will give you a lot.

JW to beggar: kya? bhagwan denge mujhe? tu direct mang ley na.

 

dear kamalji

wow. hats off to govind. You wont find such sincere workers nowadays. even after 25 years you remembered him for his honest work. good that you did what he asked you to do. My son bought a flat in a socity of 150 flats for 80lakhs in hyderabad. when we wanted to instal the inverter, the buldings electrician came and he couldnt find where the connections are going. cause, the electrician who did all during the construction has gone and this is the new fellow and the contractor is not having any trace or idea of how the wires were layed.

on making the independent house, we too had a tough time for our house in kochi. when we made the ground floor, young not much knowledge, called the contractor, told him the budget and he did as per his wish. when we made the first floor, I was working in the sanitarywares and tiles manufacturing company so came to know a lot about house construction and we both took the charge to decide on all the things.
