Conference Call with SARKAR
People approached HIM, the Sarkar, and complained about the rains for it failed to manifest itself as per the season calender. People, annoyed with the power load-shedding, were praying for the rains to arrive and start its innings as a batsman in form. And guess what, Sarkar who believes in himself and his power, approved peoples request and ordered rain to start his innings. For people who have seen the movie “Sarkar”, they might recall the first scene where a follower of Sarkar ruthlessly kills the boy who finds himself in trouble because of his misdeeds. But in our case, unfortunately, people found themselves in trouble. Like Sanath Jayasuriya smashing ruthlessly, punishing every ball deliverd by our Prasad, bowler (was he really the one?) famous only for picking a historical wicket against Pakistan in the world-cup thriller in B’lore, the rain lashed Mumbai city and its suburbs with a few of them being more susceptible to the released waters of the nearby dam.
I, in the company of my colleagues, was safe in my office building with all the facilities – from drinking water to the internet – available till late evening. Soon there was a power cut and our DG set was up, supplying power to avoid a total blackout. With the time passing by and food-resources getting extinct in the building, everybody seemed to worry about the dinner. We heard that none of the nearby hotels were in operation. So we moved out of the building to reach canteen – after all it’s a matter of fulfilling the stomach needs. We were lucky to reach canteen in time and get garma-garam dal bhaat, dahi(curd), kelaas, bhaji and some spices too. One cannot even think of availing such a facility in these circumstances, thanks to the canteen operators for serving the stucked-up employees.
As we came back, all searched for some entertainment packs. Fortunately one of our colleagues had a VCD of the movie “Sarkar” and the show was organized in one of the conference rooms. The room was occupied to its limits and the play button was clicked. The con-call with Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan, the Sarkars, lasted for about 120 minutes – this being a pirated copy. There was a replication of this activity with all quality standards being followed – the other conference room was playing a comedy packed show “Andaz Apna Apna”.
My transition from Powai to Dombivli* via Vikroli* and Thane* was very safe. I reached home after 51 long hours by the virtue of Sarkar !
