Dear
Mishi
I
am sitting at a coffee shop staring at the sky to locate the moon. And a lot of
things are at stake. It is today that I understand the importance of this
celestial marvel.
So
this is the scene.
You know that I work at Whirlpool Appliances in the sales
function. Now, the prices of the products are increasing from tomorrow and
because of this rise, one of my biggest dealer has given me a huge order that
needs to be billed at the old price. But, the dealer celebrates Eid and his warehouse will be closed on the day of Eid. And Eid is determined based on the
visibility of the moon. If I bill the products today, then it has to be
delivered tomorrow as the company policy doesn’t allow me to bill, but not
deliver. If I bill it tomorrow, then it will be at a higher price and I will
lose the order. And I need to confirm it to my CFA, whether to bill the product
or not. The wait is on. The ideal situation is that Eid falls day after tomorrow and I get to know about it soon, so that I can bill it today and deliver it tomorrow. It all depends on the moon now.
In
our day to day lives, we have taken these small things for granted. And it
takes an incident like this for us to understand its importance. As we have
grown old, we have forgotten these elements that once were an important aspect
of our lives.
Moral of the story, don’t grow up and keep finding the choti
choti baton me badi badi kushiyan!
Eid
Mubarak (hopefully,in advance)
Regards
Mamu
