The Scam about Stock Losses/Promotions/Transfers/ Eng. Jobs/Adulterations/Purchases/Misuse of Kerosene/Short Delivery through Petrol Pumps etc. is more widespread and murkier than 2-G/Coal Scam. As the Oil Ind. thrives on Corruption, Sycophancy, Wine,Women,Wealth; the articles too depict the same vices.(Also see the Real Fight-Non Fiction.)Pankaj Khannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09476128688966853365noreply@blogger.comBlogger22125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4253254336555595149.post-46009199265667375332013-11-05T03:07:00.001-08:002013-11-11T01:12:07.223-08:00Oil Ind.Safety Directorate blames HPCL Mgmt. for Fire at Visag Refinery.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
At least 23 Contracted workers had recently died in a <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/hyderabad/Hindustan-Petroleum-Corporation-Limited-toll-climbs-to-23/articleshow/22215607.cms">Fire Mishap in Vishakh Refinery in August 2013</a>. The accident was largely ignored by the Electronic and Print Media at the National Level.<br />
<br />
Now, OISD ( Oil Industry Safety Directorate) has faulted the Management of HPCL for the grave fire tragedy of FIRE in Vishakhapatnam Refinery.Kindly go through the link given below:<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The level of Safety in HPCL, a fortune 500 company, has been abysmally low historically. Had written a self explanatory letter to various Govt. Agencies about Corruption and Lack of Safety Standards in HPCL and other Govt. Oil Companies. Kindly <a href="http://pankaj-khanna.blogspot.in/2013/02/email-dated-29122009.html">click here</a> to see the<a href="http://pankaj-khanna.blogspot.in/2013/02/email-dated-29122009.html"> email dated 29/12/2009</a> addressed to PMO, Ministry of Petroleum, CVC and HPCL Officials on the subject of Safety and Corruption. The letters were sent back to HPCL routinely by the Bureaucrats for taking the corrective action!!</div>
<br />
<br />
If the past experience is any indicator, the TOP Management of HPCL will go scot-free yet again and scapegoats will be found at the the lowest possible level. One fervently requests to kindly go through the the <a href="http://pankaj-khanna.blogspot.in/2013/02/email-dated-29122009.html">email dated 29/12/2009</a> to know the level of Safety in HPCL and other Govt. Oil Companies.<br />

As mentioned in the the Introduction - "About Me" in the right hand
side column down below; one has been fighting against corruption in
Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited for the past 12 years.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Have
exhausted all the options available with the Government except Media,
Social Media and the Courts of Law to ensure that corrective action is
taken against the corrupt Top Management of HPCL.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The
option of Courts is out of consideration as one is aware of the
massive Financial/Legal Power of a Fortune 500 Corporation like HPCL! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
Regarding
Media,I have made efforts in the past ( in 2005 and 2006) to draw
attention of Media by sending various CD's containing all the documents
in support of the fight but somehow media has not considered the case
worth writing about or telecasting about.That leaves only Social Media
as a small ray of hope... <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As
a result, this Whistle Blower is now a Blogger; all set to pen down all
the correspondence on this very blog for every one to know the level of Corruption in Oil Industry in the knowledge of Govt. Agencies and PMO.</div>
I
have taken up the case against Top Management of HPCL and the Ministry
of Petroleum to the following Government agencies and NGO's since 2001:<br />
<br />
(1) Department of Public Grievances (2001 to 2006)<br />
(2) Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (2001 to 2006)<br />
(3) Department of Personnel and Training ( 2004 to 2007)<br />
(4) Central Vigilance Commission (2004 to till date)<br />
(5) Central Information Commission ( 2005 to 2007)<br />
( 6) President of India ( 2006) <br />
(7) National Human Rights Commission ( 2007)<br />
(8) Cyber Crime Cell-Mumbai Police(2007)<br />
(9) Cabinet Secretariat (2005 to 2007)<br />
(10) Prime Ministers Office (2005 to till date)<br />
(11) Transparency International India ( 2011 onwards)<br />
<br />
All
the above agencies have forwarded all my representations back to HPCL
through Ministry of Petroleum without taking any action!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
It is like Police Station forwarding the complaints of a victim to the accused only to deliver judgement!!!<br />
<br />
I also had meeting with several Bureaucrats in
DPG/DARPG/CVC/CIC/Ministry of Petroleum/Cabinet Secretariat/PMO/CIC from
2003 to 2008. They all had one and only one suggestion - "Go to the
Court, Your case is very strong."<br />
<br />
This is what the Management of HPCL is openly saying since 2001: If you think something is wrong , go to the Court.It clearly explains why the Indian Courts are so overburdened.<br />
<br />
The above fact is quite amusing and is an inspiration for me to become a blogger. <br />
<br />
Hopefully
one day a Bureaucrat or a politician somewhere will wake up and will
take some action of note against the Corrupt of HPCL.Or may be one day a
Legal Luminary or Civil Society will take up the matter in Court.<br />
<br />
Shall provide links to various documents in the coming weeks.<br />
<br />
Till that time at least enjoy the realistic Micro- Fiction on Corruption in Oil Companies.<br />
<br />

am yet to receive experience certificate and long pending dues even after lapse
of six long years and even after sending a lot of verbal and written
communications to all concerned. The HR Officials have been telling the same
story for the past six years that the matter is pending at Chairman’s Office,
even for the release of experience certificate! I am giving below links of
several emails sent to you in the last three years only:</span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Subject</b>: Scam of
scams and ‘Corporate Encounter’ of a whistle blower by HPCL. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dear Sirs,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Refer the self explanatory email
dated 29/12/2009 copied to HPCL, Min. of Pet. & PMO. (Appended below). Also
refer to the letters in this regard from the PMO/MOP&NG and the reply from
GM-HRD. Please also see the email dated 7/3/2010 regarding corruption and also
about the denied experience certificate.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
This whistleblower has been
requesting HR department since separation, for the clearance of all dues and
also for experience certificate. As this writer has neither massaged the ‘king
size ego’ of corrupt and criminal HPCL Management, nor has offered bribe; the
dues- in several lacs- are yet to be cleared even after termination of the
services in Oct 2006. HPCL Management is expecting bribe to issue the
experience certificate too. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Whenever this EX-Officer (worked
in HPCL for 22 years) and a Whistle Blower (now for ten years-for details see
any of the CD’s) has tried to know the reasons for not clearing the long pending
dues and even the experience certificate; HR Mumbai and Delhi Officials have
given the following wide, varied and weird reasons at different times in last four
and half years:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="mso-list: Ignore;">(1)<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span>The
matter is being looked into by the Chairman himself……</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="mso-list: Ignore;">(2)<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span>All
dues have been cleared……</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="mso-list: Ignore;">(3)<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span>There
is no policy to issue experience certificate….</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="mso-list: Ignore;">(4)<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span>It is
the prerogative of the Management to issue the certificate or not…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="mso-list: Ignore;">(5)<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span>Matter
is pending with Dir HR….</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="mso-list: Ignore;">(6)<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span>As
the matter has been taken up the matter with PMO…now ask PMO only….</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="mso-list: Ignore;">(7)<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span>As the
matter is sub judice, dues and certificate can be cleared by the Court only...</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
You took more than 18 months to
clear statutory PF and gratuity, more than 24 months to clear Group Insurance
amount ( all the facts verifiable at your end), as this whistle blower had never
given bribe or expensive gifts to any one of you. ( Had one not blown the
whistle or refused to sign on the ‘dotted lines’ and had one given the bosses
expensive gifts year after year; one could be a serving (and<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>servile) GM in HPCL by now . </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
No regrets. Instead,
this whistle blower is proud to have blown whistle 2001 onwards for the sake of
the real but conveniently forgotten owners of HPCL- The citizens of the Country.)
Now you may even take 18 years to clear the balance amount as one does not
intend to pay bribe. You all are law unto yourselves having created a luxurious
and almost impregnable island of aristocracy known as HPCL in the midst of poor
democracy known as India. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
You can stoop to any level as you have shown in the past by repeatedly sending abusive
and defamatory hate emails to more than 11000 employees of HPCL, for your own use,
from the Official HPCL Email messaging system against this whistle blower from
2004 to 2007 with great impunity. The law of land is not applicable to you, it
seems. You do not have any respect for the instructions given by the
administrative ministry – after all you are so powerful financially that
Ministry always overlooks your indiscipline. T</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
here are enough proves, available
with the Ministry of Petroleum; to initiate disciplinary and criminal
proceedings against HPCL top brass, but Murali Deora and MS Srinivasan (now
accused in PFC scam by the CAG) were always hand in glove with you all<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">:</b> the Rich and Mighty PSU Oil Magnates
who can purchase anything and almost every one. Hopefully, Mr. Jaipal Reddy
will act honestly one day to initiate criminal and disciplinary proceedings
against you. Mr. Jaipal Reddy and the New Secretary may wish to refer their
file no.<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b>No.17023/509/PGC-2004 to
know the details. There are several CD’s lying unopened in the Ministry.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
It is the last reason of ‘matter is
sub judice’ that is given by a HR Official that has forced one to add this clarification.
It appears that there is a wrong notion<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>prevalent in HPCL that the writer has filed a legal case against HPCL
for reinstatement. No legal case has been initiated by this whistleblower to
work again in HPCL even for a day under the present corrupt and criminal HPCL
Management headed by you. One can not serve the country by working under you as
the unwritten rule of HPCL is simple- Work for your bosses, to make them rich
grade wise or otherwise; forget about the Country. It is the writer’s informed
opinion that working under the present HPCL Management team is as disgraceful
as working under a don or a naxal leader or any other anti-national entity. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
You have already ‘encountered’
this writer professionally long time back in 2006 against the ‘crime of whistle
blowing started in 2001’. By not giving experience certificate and not clearing
dues you have further demonstrated how ‘professional’ you are in ‘Corporate
Encounters’. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While this whistle blower
does not wish to work again in HPCL till criminal, disciplinary proceedings are
initiated against the HPCL Mgmt., fight against Corruption and victimization continues.
This is just another step, in the ten year long fight against corruption, to
expose the corrupt and criminal practices prevalent in one of the Navratna
Companies owned by the country but being abused by the HPCL Mgmt.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
By a copy of this email the Pet.
Minister, Min.Officials and Part Time Directors of HPCL are being requested to
kindly be proactive and see any of the CD’s sent to the Authorities including
Company Secretary in the last six years just to know the criminal and corrupt
bent of Mgmt Team.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In case you need the CD directly, please ask.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Can Mr. Jaipal Reddy please help in
getting the long pending dues and the experience certificate, without paying the
bribe? (This is not to request for the reinstatement in <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>HPCL as the Ministry/CVC have failed
miserably in the past to protect Whistle Blowers despite the GOI resolution, under
the Direction from the Supreme Court, to protect the Whistle Blowers.). One earnestly
hopes that Shri Jaipal Reddy and the Petroleum Secretary will be honest enough
to initiate Administrative and Criminal proceedings against the Management of
HPCL. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
If Mr.Jaipal Reddy is interested,
this whistle Blower would like to give a presentation to the Oil Ministry about
various scams of HPCL like – Transfer scam, Promotion scam, Engineering scam,
Pilferage scam, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>GMR scam, Kingfisher
scam, kerosene scam, stock loss scam, travel scams, DCO scams, in fact the scam
of scams, and also about the culture of ‘Corporate Encounter’ initiated by MB
Lal, Arun Balakrishnan, S Roychoudhury, B Mukherjee, V.Vizia Saradhi ( The past
and present CMD’s and Directors of HPCL) to silence this whistle blower. One
dares to say that collectively these scams and other scams in the Oil Industry,
for the last three decades, are more startling and damaging than the much
discussed 2G Scam- in magnitude as well as extent.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
A copy of the email is marked to
media persons also- to the addresses available- for their understanding and
wider circulation. This writer is neither a member of a political party nor a
social activist<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>but now only a small
time teacher happy to be alive having survived physical assaults while working
as an Officer in HPCL. This writer is not in a position to arrange a Press
Conference but a self explanatory and interactive CD encompassing all the
details can be sent within 72 hours of the receipt of the request.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Friends in the Civil Society are
requested to kindly circulate this email to as many people as possible. The
people, the owner of Oil companies should after all know one of the several
reasons why they are made to pay Rs. 70 for a litre of Petrol while no body
questions the working of these sarkari Oil Magnets. Wake up dear owners, wake
up!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-GB">Email dated 7/3/2010 in Public domain addressed to all concerned.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Third global conference on Emotional
Intelligence by TISS and HPCL.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">This email is
about Emotional Intelligence being practiced by a whistle blower, sender of
this email, who has worked as an Officer in HPCL, a Fortunate 500 company, for
22 years and has been nominated for Manjunath Shanmugam Integrity award
consecutively for three years. (It will not be out of context to mention that
no other Officer from Oil Industry has ever been nominated for the award since
its beginning though the award is in the name of the Indian Oil Sales Officer
Late Shri Manjunath Shanmugam who sacrificed his life fighting against
corruption in Oil Industry).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">It is the
Emotional Intelligence that has really helped me to survive brutal and
recurring emotional attacks sponsored by the unscrupulous Management of HPCL
headed by the CMD – HPCL Shri Arun Balakrishnan who has recently emerged as a
self styled ‘Indian doyen’ of Emotional Intelligence by blowing Public Money in
his venture known as Forum for Emotional Intelligence Limited (FEIL), having
the website address www.ifeil.org.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">The scheduled
Speech on 5<sup>th</sup> and 6<sup>th</sup> March 2010, from a callous, insensitive
but extremely powerful person Shri Arun Balakrishnan on the subject of
Emotional Intelligence is like a lecture on morality by a SPS Rathore!
Unfortunately, I will not be there to tell the world about his double standards
as I am not allowed to participate in the conference. Hence, this email to let
you all know the other side of the story of ‘Emotional Intransigence’
perpetrated by Shri Arun Balakrishnan in the matters of Safety and Corruption
in HPCL.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">Having belief in
the adage ‘Practise what you preach’; I too wanted to participate in this
Global Conference and accordingly had requested the FEIL for registration. The
FEIL team acknowledged the request on 8/1/2010 and assured to revert back with
more details. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">Later on, I also
sent two write ups for Paper Presentations , under the theme of ‘Action of
non-profits for creating a healthy and productive society’ on the subjects of:
(a) Using Emotional Intelligence to ensure Safety of Oil Installations (b)
Practice of emotional Intelligence to eradicate corruption from Oil Industry. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">As expected, no
further reply was received from the HPCL owned FEIL as, such efforts would only
remove the mask of ‘emotional literacy’ and ‘compassionate leadership’ put on
by Shri Arun Balakrishnan so deliberately and ceremoniously at the cost of
Public Money. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">The ideal behind
sending the first paper was simply an attempt by an ex Safety Engineer of HPCL
to reveal the ‘mind of state’ suggesting remedial actions to ensure that
tragedies like Bhopal
and Jaipur do not occur again in our Country. The motive behind sending the
second paper was just a humble attempt by an individual who is pained every
year to see 80+ ranking awarded to our Country in the matter of Corruption by
the Transparency International. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">What good are
such global conferences organised by a government<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oil Company<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>when the CMD of the Company himself does not wish to act locally to<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>ensure safety in the<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oil installations and when he himself regards
the corrupt practices as the protocol of the day. </span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">The whole
purpose behind sending this letter to all the founder members of FEIL, all
Indian experts in the field of Emotional Intelligence, the Director /
Professors of TISS (the Organizer of the event), Prime Minister’s Office, Secretary-
Ministry of Petroleum, Board of Directors of HPCL, Internationally acknowledged
EI Gurus, a few selected academicians, a large number of well meaning friends
and several Cyber activists, is to request them to pray or prevail upon Shri
Arun Balakrishnan to finally use Emotional Intelligence to ensure Safety of
Installations, to eradicate Corruption and to ensure good corporate governance
in a transparent manner. It will be in larger public Interest for him to act on
the following parameters rather than preaching what he does not practise:</span></div>

</span></span></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-GB">Formulate Transfer Policy</span></b><span lang="EN-GB">: HPCL is the
only Fortunate 500 Company and the only PSU which does not have any written
Transfer Policy facilitating the bosses make huge money by transferring
Officers to preferred/earmarked locations at their whim and fancy. Years after
years. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;">

</span></span></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-GB">The organised local Oil Mafia around almost all the Depots in the
Country</span></b><span lang="EN-GB">: It is a well known fact that Petroleum
Products worth hundreds of Crores are pilfered/ stolen from the
tankers/Pipelines outside the Terminals/Depots/Oil Installations every year.
While Shri Arun Balakrishnan has all the time in the world to deliver lectures
on Emotional Intelligence, he has not spared even an hour for such a perennial
problem. Addressing this problem itself will generate hundreds of Crores for
HPCL and for the Country every year. This action will also rule out probable
causes of fire making the Oil Installations much safer. If he wishes, I
volunteer to help HPCL as an advisor in this regard, free of cost. </span></div>

Industrial and Aviation Customers is more than 1000 Crores due to reckless
violation of Payment Terms by the big bosses of HPCL but the money is not being
received, nor the responsibility is being fixed for such goof ups for the obvious
reasons.</span></div>

has been given special favours resulting in a loss of scores of Crores to HPCL
but Shri Arun Balakrishnan is purposely not taking any action on this, waiting
for his retirement to take place this year to protect himself and his fellow
directors. </span></div>

undersized Storage tanks were installed in many Retail Outlets in North zone
from 2001 to 2004 causing a safety hazard apart from other Irregularities in
the Engineering jobs. (The matter was brought to the notice of Shri Arun
Balakrishnan and other bosses verbally and then through various representations
and CD’s sent to them. The management of HPCL condoned all the guilty in this
regard and openly issued filthy and defamatory hate emails from the
Corporation’s E- Mail messaging system against me for the ‘crime’ of whistle
blowing. For details, please see the email dated 29/12/09 sent to Prime
Minister’s Office and all concerned including the Indian Founder members of
FEIL. You may wish to ask me also for the email dated 29/12/09.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If all the details are required, I can send
an exhaustive and interactive CD which may be used by TISS or other
academicians, in India
or abroad, as a Case study on whistle blowing, perils of whistle blowing,
Emotional Intelligence, Social Intelligence, Corporate Governance and the
scourge of Corruption in HPCL. )</span></div>

lecture on Emotional Intelligence but had no time to participate--- even once
in his tenure as Director –HR or as CMD- HPCL--- in at least one yearly mock
drill in association with Civil Authorities of any of the hundreds of the Oil
Installations under his control. Further, there is no Corporate Disaster
Management Plan detailing the Role of Top Management of HPCL or Ministry of
Petroleum Officials in case of disasters. After all, Safety is considered such
a menial job in the Oil Industry.</span></div>

</span></span></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-GB">The scotch culture and wasteful expenditure</span></b><span lang="EN-GB">: Having been an Officer in HPCL for more than two decades, I know
how Public money in Crores is spent every year to please the bosses of HPCL and
Ministry of Petroleum Officials. Popularly known as scotch culture in HPCL, it
has only intensified in the last few years. It does not require the knowledge
of an abstruse subject like Emotional Intelligence to reduce the wasteful
expenses especially when the goings are tough for the Oil Industry and the
country.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The meagre profit of less than
0.8% on the Turn over for the past several years does reflect extent of
wasteful expenditure in HPCL.</span></div>

</span></span></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Non settlement of dues and
non issuance of Experience Certificate</span></b><span lang="EN-GB">: The whistle
blowing done from 2001 to 2004 in the Public interest cost me very dearly.
(However, no regrets for the same.) The Management of HPCL defamed me openly,
removed me from the job with effect from October 2006 against an entirely
fabricated charge of unauthorised absenteeism, withheld my payments to the tune
of Rs 9 lacs and has not even issued the experience Certificate till date
despite my requesting for it for the last three years. (Whenever I have
contacted the HR Department in Mumbai, they have shamelessly informed me that
the decision about clearing the dues and issuance of the certificate will be
made by only Shri Arun Balakrishnan. It is below the ‘dignity’ of Shri Arun
Balakrishnan to inform which Rule of the Corporation is preventing him to
release the pending payments and issue the
Experience Certificate to me even after passage of three years. He is law onto
himself, having created most insensitive corporate bureaucracy which functions
like an affluent autocracy
in a poor democracy known as India.) <br />
<br />
<br />
AND SUCH A PERSON IN INDIA
IS BEING HAILED AS THE DOYEN OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">Exactly twenty
five years ago, I had joined HPCL on Dec 10, 1984, just after a week of the
Bhopal Tragedy, as an Officer Trainee. There were about fifty Officer Trainees
who joined at that time. Just after the Bhopal Tragedy, the discussion about
safety became a fashion in the Oil Industry and remains so till date. HPCL was
also no different. The Authorities of HPCL also decided to do something
‘concrete’ in the name of Safety so they introduced Safety Officers swiftly in
LPG Plants. Consequently six silent, dull looking and less presentable type of
Officers (not considered very suitable for more glamorous job of Sales) were
selected in hot haste from the lot, abruptly curtailing their otherwise six
month long Training Programme; and then were baptized as Safety Officers by the
end of December 1984 to ensure Safety of six major LPG Plants! I became Safety
Officer- Khapri LPG Plant (Nagpur)
without having worked even for a day in an LPG Plant!!! Well, this is the
legacy of the past about the Safety of Oil Installations. Regrettably, things
have not changed much in these twenty five years as far as the attitude towards
the Safety of Oil Installations is concerned. Safety is regarded a menial job
in the Oil Industry and it still remains in the domain of workers and the lower
level Officers. I never saw or heard any GM/CGM/ED/Director/CMD carrying out
Safety Audit/Inspections of any Oil installations. They do visit the Plants
/Depots occasionally like a Chhota Maharaja and grandiosely accentuate, like a
true expert, the cliché condescendingly – ‘Safety first but the Production
must’! However, the unwritten Rule about Safety is same for the last twenty
Five years. If Safety is compromised- ‘Chalta he’. If Production is compromised
- ‘Marta he’. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">Safety for the
‘Leaders’ of Oil Industry is still having ‘Safe Tea’ in the luxurious
environment of their Offices or in the Five Star Hotels. These Gods
(GM/ED/Directors, CMD) of HPCL can not be assigned any job in the Disaster
Management Plan (DMP) of the Oil Installations. I never saw or heard any of
these Gods ever taking part in annual Mock drill in association with Civil
Authorities, as per the DMP, of any of the hundreds of the Oil Installations.
You must be a naïve if you think that such menial jobs like Safety
Audit/Inspections/witnessing a mock drill (in association with outside
agencies) of a far flung Oil Installation can ever be conducted by a Director
or a CMD even once during their tenure as a Director or a CMD, forget the very
nature of the Product these companies refine and market. However, the big
bosses of the Oil Companies have mastered in the art of looking concerned
without actually being concerned for the Safety. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">I worked for the
first five years of my professional life as a Safety Officer and so know a bit
about Safety (or lack of it) in Oil Installations. Later on, worked as Sr.
Maintenance Engineer, Plant Manager and Depot Manager of various installations
and got as many as 19 appreciation letters from 1984 to 2001. In 2001, I was
designated as Dy Manger- Retail Engineering Bareilly-Meerut Retail Region and
was startled to see the level of Corruption in engineering jobs and decided to
blow the whistle on Corruption. Highlighted during 2001-03 various
irregularities in the Engineering jobs and reported the matter to the bosses
verbally and then in writing also. One of the many irregularities reported was
about the undersized thickness of the Service Station Tanks being installed in
the Retail Outlets in North Zone by the fabricators. It was not only a grave
financial irregularity but was (and is) a serious safety hazard too. The fact
was reported to all the bosses through various communications and was also
personally discussed, in the years 2003 to 2005, with the concerned higher ups
including the Director Marketing Shri S. Roy Choudhury, Dir (HR) Shri V.Viziasaradhi
and the present CMD (Earlier Dir HR) Shri Arun Balakrishnan. Details of the
discussion are available in all the CD’s sent in this regard to various
Offices. Such undersized S/S tanks remain buried, like several corruption
issues, in North Zone waiting for an accident to happen. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">Instead of
taking any corrective action, Shri M.B.Lal (Ex- CMD HPCL and currently Head of
the Enquiry Committee to look into the causes of the Fire at the IOC Depot
Jaipur), Shri Arun Balakrishnan- CMD -HPCL and Shri S. Roy Choudhury- Dir
Marketing -HPCL (and future Chairman of HPCL) ensured to issue me a Charge
Sheet in March 05 against an entirely fabricated charge of ‘unauthorized
absenteeism’. They conducted an ex parte enquiry without appointing defense
counsel (as threatened in several hate mails, one of which is reproduced
below), without cross-examining the witnesses, without paying me
salary/subsistence allowance or even the travel expenses and removed me from
the job with effect from Oct 06. It was far more convenient for them to remove
a complainant than to take action against the complaints. For details please
click the link ‘Kafkaesque Trial’ from the CD. In case you do not have the CD
please let me know, I will send the same to you immediately. While the Management
of HPCL removed me from the Service, Manjunath Shanmugam trust considered the
efforts good enough for nominating me for the Manjunath Shanmugam Integrity
award continuously for three years.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">The Management
of HPCL conspired overtly in perpetrating hatred towards this whistle blower by
allowing spread of hate mails from the Official messaging system of HPCL. At
least seven separate hate emails were issued from the HPCL’s E Mail messaging
system to all 11000 employees of HPCL from 2004 to 2007, even months after
removing me from HPCL. A copy of the Hate Email dated 5/5/05 is reproduced

<span lang="EN-GB">S/Shri M.B.Lal/A. Balakrishnan/S. Roy Choudhury
have replied through ED (IT) Smt. Nishi Vasudeva that such emails were indeed
issued from the Mail Boxes of HPCL Officers and that from the HPCL Messaging
system but senders were not HPCL employees!! When they were requested to lodge
an FIR against the ‘unknown persons’ who unauthorizedly accessed HPCL
employees’ Mail Boxes hacking HPCL’s E-Mail messaging system, they plainly
refused to do so because the breach , according to them, was not carried out by
HPCL employees!!! None of the Mail Box owners ever apologized or regretted or
lodged an FIR against the issuance of the hate emails, against his wish, from
his mail box. It does suggest that the emails were indeed sent by these
gentlemen only or some one else at the behest and instance of the Management of
HPCL. Incidentally, I have not been able to get an FIR lodged till date despite
having pleaded to all concerned including Cyber cell, MOP&NG, CVC and PMO.
The fight goes on and on…. against the might of the Management of a Fortune 500
Company for which money is just not a constraint and for which defamation and
hounding of a whistle blower are holy acts. The same ED (IT) Smt. Nishi
Vasudeva who could not, or intentionally did not, trace the IP Addresses of the
senders of hate Emails from the HPCL’s Email Messaging System won prestigious
CIO award in the IT Field shortly after spread of such hate emails. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">All the facts about the above cases are
well known to MOP&NG, DPG, Cabinet Secretariat, PMO, and CVC. All the
representations against Corruption/Misuse of Office by the Top Management of
HPCL sent to such august Offices since 2003 have been sent back to the
Management of HPCL for necessary action! It is just like a Police Station
handing over a case to the Criminal for Justice against the FIR lodged against
the Criminal himself!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Coming back to the Safety of Oil
Installations. Now Mr. M.B.Lal ex CMD-HPCL has been appointed as the head of
the Enquiry Committee to look into the causes of the tragedy happened in IOC
Depot at Jaipur. Mr. Lal is fully aware about the undersized tanks deep buried
in HPCL Retail Outlets in North Zone posing a grave Safety hazard. As a
Chairman he never evinced any interest in Safety of Installations. He never
carried out any Safety Audit or Inspections of even a single Installation out
of hundreds of Installations. He never participated in any Mock Drill of any
location. Throughout his tenure as a CMD, he was busy in pleasing the Ministry
of Petroleum as a part of his Retirement Planning. A lot of complaints were
sent against him to Ministry but all these complaints were sent back to him for
‘corrective’ action. All the above mentioned hate emails were gleefully ignored
by him, Dir(M),and Dir (HR) with the help of ED(IT) in the most criminal manner
so as to cover up their acts of Omissions and Commissions. Ministry of
Petroleum, instead of initiating Disciplinary and Criminal proceedings against
him, has chosen him as a head of the Enquiry Committee.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">A person who has shown scant respect for
the Safety in the past is least likely to make sincere efforts in finding the
truth behind the Fire Tragedy. In all likelihood he is going to protect the
Ministry Officials, CMD, Directors, and Executive Directors of IOC without
letting the facts to emerge. Scapegoats at the lowest possible level will be
found so as to protect the blissfully indulgent Policy Makers like him who are
the most responsible persons for catastrophes of such a great magnitude. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Regarding the Safety of Installations under
the Present Chairman Shri Arun Balakrishnan, the same facts as above are
applied. He too, like his predecessor, is busy in Post Retirement planning and
is obsessed with the Forum for Emotional Intelligence Limited founded by him
.For him also the issues of Corruption, Safety of Installations, Transfer Policy,
Promotion Policy and Morale of the Officers are least important. The matter of
lack of Transfer Policy, non implementation of Promotion Policy and abuse of
Power was first taken up in writing in April 2003 at the time when Shri Arun
Balakrishnan was Dir (HR). The matter sent in the form Grievance Petition is
still pending with the Committee of Functional directors without ever receiving
any reply. All the above facts have been personally discussed during the
meeting with him and the present Director HR Shri V.Viziasaradhi in December
05.For details please see the CD.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">In fact one of the worst forms of
Corruption in HPCL is about Transfers. Can you believe that a Fortune 500
Company having more than11000 employees, with a turn over of Rs. 125000 Crores,
does not have a written Transfer Policy? At least I could not locate it in any
of the Manuals in 22 years of my service. When sought to know, under RTI, about
the Transfer Policy; they informed that it was a Personal matter and that it
could not be disclosed! Not surprising that some Officers remain posted in
their hometowns or metro cities forever whereas some chosen Officers are
transferred from one location to another location across zones within months on
the basis of ‘File Notes’. (Such ‘File Notes’ are sometimes generated in an
unctuous flourish to ‘pile notes’ by the vested interests for the vested
interests across various levels.). Shri Arun Balakrishnan CMD- HPCL has all the
time in the world to devote precious time, in days and months, for an abstruse
subject like ‘Emotional Intelligence’ but has no time to formulate Transfer
Policy or to visit/ inspect any Oil Installation to critically examine the
Disaster management Plan or to see how products are stolen routinely outside
Depots/Terminals almost everywhere in the Country by the local mafia in a crude
and highly unsafe manner- a fact known to the entire country but probably not
known to the bosses.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Shri Arun Balakrishnan, in his bid to
occupy himself after his retirement, has spent HPCL’s significant funds in
creating a Forum for Emotional Intelligence (ifeil.org) with the stated
objective that the "Forum for Emotional Intelligence Learning (FEIL)was
created by the coming together of eminent academicians and professionals
committed to a common cause of building caring and compassionate
Leadership." </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Shri Arun Balakrishnan CMD- HPCL has shown
his ‘caring and compassionate leadership’ time and again which can be
appreciated by just having a look into any of the CD’s in circulation in HPCL.
Shri Arun Balakrishnan CMD- HPCL has ensured not to issue me Experience
Certificate and has withheld payments amounting to several lacs even 3 years
after removing me from the job! What kind of HPCL sponsored Emotional
Intelligence is this that they can not issue Experience Certificate to an
Officer who worked for 22 years giving his entire youth for the
Corporation????????</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Regarding the CD’s being referred to; the
last two defamatory emails dated 6/12/06 and 29/1/07 issued by one Shri
R.K.Agarwal from the email address rkagarwal@hpcl.co.in are reproduced below
verbatim which highlight the contents of the CD’s and the ‘Caring and
Compassionate attitude’ of the Leadership of HPCL towards: (1) a whistle blower
(2) Socially deprived communities of the country who have nothing to do with
the stand taken by me (3) Unfortunate AIDS patients, needing care and
understanding, who are being maligned wantonly in such open Emails issued by
the HPCL Authorities from the award winning Email messaging system of HPCL.
Normally, such emails would have enraged any PSU Management but not the ‘caring
and compassionate’ Leadership of HPCL. In fact they do empathize with the
senders of such emails and have purposely allowed spread of such emails for
three years. </span></div>

CD is made up of shiit. All the facts written in the CD are bull shiit. Please
do not touch it and leave it for sw*****s to collect. Dont support a AIDS
patient to spread AIDS by coming in the Company again through Ministry and CVC.
He attacked on the Company so he has been fired. He is like Afzal Guru.He
should be hanged for attacking on a Govt Company HPCL. Our Company systems are
not like Government systems. Our Company can not tolerate criminals like
B*****d Pankaj Khanna. So he has been fired promptly in a landmark decision.
Why this much hallah Gullah is made. He has not been killed. He has spoiled the
name of HPCL every where.He desrves to be thrown out. We have successfully
boycot him since last two years.we agree with every words of Shri Motwani in

become CRM. your third achievement is you made your brother a big contractor in
hpcl.your fourth achievement is that you are president msa for 15 years. you
are very clever politician. you want to show that you are clean but you are
dirty. you are anti Company and you are supporting anti Company dismissed
officers like b*****d Pankaj Khanna who writes to ministry and out side
parties. If you or any other Officer have problem with the company , leave the
company or go to court and dont write to us. you can not leave the company
because no body will give you any job. Similarly nobody is giving Pankaj Khanna
a sw****** job. so you go to court or keep your mouth close. we want every one
should be live peacefully but you are creating trouble in the company by
replying to us in this type. If you want to live in the company don’t play
politics. you could not did any thing for hp in last 15 years. now leave the
post of President for some younger officers.or be prepared to face music. </span></div>

Khanna for many years. You was agreed two years ago that you will not speak in

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;">Dear Sirs,</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;">
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;">
I have sent several requests to HR Department in Delhi and Mumbai in the past
two years for the Experience Certificate for having worked in HPCL from December 1984 to October 2006.Regrettably, the same has not been received till
date on the pretext that the matter about me is decided at the highest
level.Hence this request is being sent to you directly. Kindly arrange to send
the same through the concerned officials at the earliest please.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;"></span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;">
</span>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;">
Secondly, I had taken car loan from HPCL in Feb 1996 which has been fully
recovered by the Corporation in Feb 2008.Kindly arrange to send the NOC in this
reagrd to enable me get my old car dehpothecated from RTO Raipur where it is
still registerd.This request is also pending with the HR department for more
than one year.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;">
</span>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;">
Thirdly, several various terminal dues , as have been communicated to you in
the past, are still pending (again probably waiting to be cleared from the
highest level).This is to remind that even the dues about the encashment of
LHP, Group Insurance, performance linked Incentives, Bonuses for the period I
was working with HPCL ( much before the charge of unauthorised absenteeism)
also are pending apart from all the payments as mentioned in several of the
CD's sent to you in the past.Hoping that at last you will be showing some
sensitivity and humanity by clearing long pending payments.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;"></span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;">
<br />
<br />
<br />
Request you to kindly send a copy of the NOC and the Experience Certificate
through email also, if possible.<br />
<br />
<br />
Regards<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Suren Chor first opened his Office and Sales Counter
behind Bandhu’s dhaba .The sales zoomed beyond expectations due to the price
differential and Suren Chor’s marketing skills. He opened another Outlet, on
the eve of Republic day, just in front of LPG Plant’s Officers Residential
Complex on the Highway. Within a month, daily Sales Volume of TPC reached 4000
litres of various Products.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Bapu, the Safety Engineer, was the only person who had
problems with this arrangement in front of his flat. He could see the empty and
filled oil cans of various sizes in different colors swaying to and fro for the
whole day. Bapu complained to Reno and Satak. They scolded him to mind his own
business. He complained to the Depot Managers of all oil companies<b> </b>too.
But they refused to do any thing as the illegal activities, according to them,
were taking place outside their respective Depots.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After a few weeks, he wrote letters to SPCL HQO. Sent
several reminders. No body responded. Dejected, he approached Darogaji to lodge
an FIR. Darogaji refused to accept the complaint as it was not signed by Depot
Manager or Chief Plant Manager.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Furious Darogaji informed Satak about the audacity of
Bapu to contact him. Contumelious Satak fulminated hysterically,” Boss is
always right, Boss is always right, Boss is always right…”.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Coming to senses at last, he called Reno and explained
to him about the scandal- an Officer going against the wishes of Satak! Reno
was devastated, such a betrayal by his own subordinate! Tandi, Mami and
Butterfly were summoned. Satak winked at Mami. Mami left the room like a ghost
and reached Bandhu’s Dhaba. Suren Chor called Mangu. Mangu executed the plan
perfectly.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Several bones in legs, hands, face and ribs broken;
Bapu was rushed to a hospital in a very critical state by compassionate Reno
and others. Khajulal, CMD-SPCL, humanitarian Buddy Noora- Director Personal,
Shekhar Raj- Director Marketing all came to know about the incidence. Emotional
Buddy Noora directly instructed Satak to ensure that Bapu survives.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">( Bapu used to ask his friends if vegetarians eat
vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat!?) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Buddy Noora, the humanitarian, thought it was a big
crisis for SPCL. An Officer showing disrespect to all important Hierarchy. It
was a Corporate blasphemy not to worship the bosses. An Officer trying to lodge
an FIR! It was a severe crime of insubordination and bringing the good name of
great SPCL to disrepute. Such an Officer had to be taught a lesson so that no
Officer could ever dare to take such negative actions in future. Bapu had to be
charge-sheeted for others to see. So Bapu had to survive first.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Suren Chor, his team, drivers, transporters and many
others celebrated the victory. Mangu was hailed as the much needed ‘Mafia’ for
the community. Now he was known as Mangu ‘Mapia’. The Sales of TPC jumped to
7000 litres per day after Mangu Mapia’s great strike.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Satak instructed Reno to prepare a cyclostyled letter
to all employees of SPCL about the great betrayal by Bapu. Reno complied and
letters to all 9000 employees in the Country were sent the very next day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Khajulal, Buddy Noora, Shekhar Raj and all other big
shots decided to have a meeting at Tapri the very next week to correct the
situation. In any case they had to attend Topi Pissoo’s son’s marriage. Now
they had an excuse to visit Tapri together. Topi Pissoo was delighted!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-size: 18.0pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tapri village, made famous for heat and lust by
apolaustic Reno and callipygian Butterfly, had three Oil companies: SPCL-
Superior Petroleum Corp. Ltd, GPCL-Glorious Petroleum… and NPCL-National
Petroleum. Mami, Tandi and <i>Butterfly</i> were Contractor /Transporter
Topi Pissoo’s employees. Mami and Topi Pissoo had worked in all three Companies
since the time the companies were owned by the Americans and the British.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Many Taprians, like most Indians, were incurably
attracted towards white skinned women. Butterfly was the White legacy of the
past. But nobody knew about the type of legacy- Superior, Glorious or
National? Mami never revealed who he was - A British or an American.
Officially Butterfly was owned by Reno, whatever Tandi may be claiming
boastfully about his passionate triumphs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Bapu and his friends used to play Gilli Danda,
oblivious to Tapri, with local youth just outside LPG Plant in an open field on
Sundays. On such a Sunday morning, Reno and Butterfly were serenely enjoying
rain dance in the thick green belt, beneath the perpetually leaking overhead
tank constructed by Topi Pissoo.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">At the same time, beguiling Mami went on a
Special duty, ‘on SPCL duty’ , for two days and one night to a nearby
City with crapulous Satak Pal Sen, Chief Plant Manager, in a white ambassador
sponsored by Topi Pissoo; who had got all his Tank-Trucks/Jeeps/Cars
painted with the caption ‘On SPCL duty’. The moment the ambassador car,
carrying the <b><i>Grand Ambassadors</i></b> of SPCL, left Civilization behind;
Satak and Mami also left the garb of
civilities behind.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Satak Pal Sen was quite popular among his bosses for
being an avid ‘Explorer’. Satak was quite adept at exploring new avenues to
make money for him and the bosses. He had the gift to explore all surroundings
too. So, now he was all free to do exploration inside the car too. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Chabi, a philosopher and the driver, was now wide
awake to witness Satak’s skilled exploration. Satak noted after some time that
Chabi was ogling at them through the rear mirror. Satak went berserk. He spat
tobacco and spouted ‘C’ rated English abuses learnt from his Phirangi bosses
through his serrated teeth in a spectacular style that could be bettered
successfully only by Reno. Of course Reno deserved to be promoted, Chabi
pondered while tilting the mirror, now concentrating only on the sounds…</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">While ‘on SPCL duty’; Mami did not have any job in the
day time in that City. So she decided to meet the legendary Suren Chor, her
first cousin and number One Pick-pocket of the region. Fortunately, Suren
Chor was neither on ‘tour’ nor in ‘Sarkari Guest House’. Mami explained about
the abundance of Oil in Tapri, her connections with Satak / Topi Pissoo and
Butterfly’s connection with Reno. Aging Suren Chor liked it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Mami returned home with Satak, the head of Internal
Oil Mafia, as per schedule. Suren Chor followed the very next day with two of
his brightest disciples Changu and Mangu. All three of them were now ‘on SPCL
duty’.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thus the famed Internal Oil Mafia of Tapri joined
synergies with the future External Oil Mafia of Tapri. Mami was the main link
between Internal and external Oil Mafia.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On reaching Tapri, Suren Chor took the blessings from
Darogaji (Police Inspector- Tapri) and Topi Pissoo. Changu and Mangu started
learning fast from Techno Tandi about Petroleum products. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Changu was in charge of the Railway Siding behind the
Depots / LPG Plant from where his team used to ‘cut’ the products from
Pipelines and Railway wagons containing Bulk Petroleum Products. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Mangu was responsible to ‘cut’ products from
tankers of all the Oil companies leaving the Depots situated in a row on a
Highway. The drivers of the tankers were thrilled; their ‘cut’ was sold right
in front of the Depots!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Within a month Suren Chor established his business
outside the Depots and LPG Plant. He just organized all 10 to 15 small
operators under one umbrella-Tapri Petroleum Company-the TPC. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The External Oil Mafia under the leadership of
legendry Suren Chor had arrived.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<h2 class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">Techno
Tandi, Butterfly’s true lover, had grown Mint leaves & green chilies in a
small area in the perennial ‘wet-land’ below the eternally leaking overhead
water-tank constructed by Topi Pissoo on single quotation basis. The ‘wet-land’ was exclusively used by
Butterfly, Reno, Tandi , Chucker Batti and some lesser employees for cultural activities like rain
dance and frequent local food festivals. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
whole local ‘wetland’ had a large no. of land / terrestrial crabs that elsewhere
in Tapri used to come out of hibernation only after Monsoon. Techno Tandi was
unofficial caretaker of the ‘wet-land’ & crabs. While he had learnt from
Chucker Batti how to eat live crab; he was now far ahead in the knowledge and
practice of ‘crabbing’; leaving the art of cribbing to the successful SPCL Officers.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Reno found the crabs very cute. The
day he saw a full size crab for the first time, he was sure about his second
car - a vintage<span style="font-size: large;"> </span>‘landcrab’ (BMC ADO17),</span> <span style="font-weight: normal;">made in
England.</span> </span></div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Those
capriciously lateral/forward moving weird creatures, like many of the bosses in
SPCL, were ultimate fear factor food for most of the people in Tapri but not to
Tandi, Butterfly, Reno and Chucker Batti who used to enjoy local food festival of
crabs, cooked or raw, in the ‘wet-land’ every other day.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As
Butterfly and Reno were busy outside the Plant in managing the ‘extravaganza’
for the bosses; Chucker Batti was quite upbeat at the prospect to grab a larger
and better crab. Tandi caught a fully grown crab, dressed it with mint leaves,
green chilies and some salt always available in his pocket. Chucker Batti had a
pathetic -hungry and ravenous- face while watching Techno Tandi handling the live
crab so deftly. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tandi
offered the first one, a pale yellowish crab, to Chucker Batti. He did grab the
drab crab, removed the scab to dab the flab of the live crab, and then
finally put a large slab of the crab in his mouth. He pleasantly felt a part of
the crab wriggling around in his mouth in a green pool of mint leaves and green
chilies. He closed his eyes and began to thank God for giving him an
opportunity like this to savor such a delicious crab. For the rest of the day,
now he could blab about the crab he was just having.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
moment </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Chucker Batti </span>was having the sensation of the third crab wriggling in his mouth,
the Security Officer blew the siren as he saw huge flames outside the Plant. The
pleasure was so heavenly that Chucker Batti found the sound of Siren melodious
and in sync with the exotic experience he was having through the wriggling crab
in his mouth. As Chucker Batti did not respond to the siren; Tandi thought it
was just a mock fire drill. They both continued to devour the crabs like tod<span style="font-size: large;">ay's</span> Suresh
and Ramesh eating Cadbury chocolate in a trance.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Fa<span style="font-size: large;">c</span>totum Techno Tandi, just one of the Contractor labor but extremely essential to Butterfly
and LPG Plant Operations, heard a lot of workers screaming. Tandi soon realized
that something had really gone wrong. He instructed Chucker Batti to take control of
the situation at the main gate.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Chucker Batti, <span style="font-size: large;">the Manager, </span>followed contractor <span style="font-size: large;">labor</span> Tandi’s instructions most
loyally and reached at Main Gate to see Satak and Reno running from one end to
the other end of the Main Gate, from outside, while shouting ‘Fire-Fire’. He tenaciously
joined them inch by inch and decibel by decibel. Now three of them were running like cete of badgers from here to there. The only variation was that he
was shouting ‘fire-fire’ so cutely, with the last crab still in his mouth; from the
inside of the closed Main Gate o<span style="font-size: large;">f LPG </span>Plant.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As
the crab melted in his mouth, the reality also did in his mind.<span style="font-size: large;">He</span> began to
shake in his pants as he knew there was almost no water in the huge Underground
Tank or even the smaller Capacity eternally leaking Overhead Tank Constructed
by Topi Pissoo…</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
water available was just enough for two-three minutes to fight against fire.
Whatever water was pumped daily from two bore wells was barely enough to take
care of the daily requirement of Plant mainly due to leak in both the tanks
since the inception of the Plant. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
LPG Operators were thrilled to hear the sound of siren. They knew it will be
the end of the duty for them for the day. They stopped the carousel (the
machine at which cylinders are filled) at once and began to see a god sent opportunity to carouse in the canteen<span style="font-size: large;"></span>. The few <span style="font-size: large;">h</span>apless workers bus<span style="font-size: large;">y in </span>playing
flash and carom had to reluctantly stop their game. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They all, except the three drunken ones, sprung to action.
They all knew there was practically no water to fight fire in case the fire
reaches inside the Plant. They had been taught by the Local Management that the
show must go on.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So,
they were ready for the show and ready to play Holi with each other- may be
just for only two-three minutes. Some connected the fire hoses to fire
hydrants; some reached at the fixed water monitors and began to wait for the
fire engine to start. Some took Fire Extinguishers and ran towards the fire. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The all knowing, raincoat wearing, <span style="font-size: large;">lowly learned, certificates accumulator , tobacco chewing, Bean Counter</span>,Ac</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">count <span style="font-size: large;">Officer <span style="font-size: large;">cum HR Officer </span>Pujya Dos<span style="font-size: large;">hi</span></span></span> - as per his role in the Fire Organization Chart- telephoned to
Police, fire-brigade, Civil Authorities, Ambulance and the neighboring Oil
Companies depots and ran out of Administrative Block to Security Block to help
the injured , if any. <span style="font-size: large;">He cleared the traffic <span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>and a truck load of filled cylinders</i></b> </span> <i><b>without documents</b></i> taking advantage of the melee at the main gate.Now<span style="font-size: large;"> he too was free to<span style="font-size: large;"> follow his bosse<span style="font-size: large;">s.</span></span> </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Union
leader DM Yadu ran towards the gate and saw the wooden platform collapsing and
the bosses falling. He then saw the actual fire from the inside. Now he rushed
to administrative Block and narrated the whole story over telephone to two
journalists of local news papers. (Kindly see the Chapter no. 7- <a href="http://pankaj-khanna.blogspot.in/2012/03/7-dancing-pro-becomes-pro.html">A dancing pro<span style="font-size: large;"> </span>becomes a PRO</a> about Journalists.) </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Many
of the Officers rushed to fire engine to start it, without succeeding to start
it even after five minutes of blowing up of the danger siren. It was the duty
of Safety Engineer Bapurao to start the Fire engine but the <i><span style="font-size: large;">'</span></i>arrogant traito<span style="font-size: large;">r' </span>was still in the Hospital.He certainly des<span style="font-size: large;">erved one more Charge She<span style="font-size: large;">et.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">At
last Techno Tandi reached at the Fire Engine Room with a crab in his each hand
and one in mouth. He transferred the crab from the right hand to the left hand,
started the Fire Engine with his right hand within a few seconds without
letting go his precious grabs - the crabs.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">They
all waited for two more minutes to see the pressure in the Pipelines develop.
The lines were not pressurized as Jockey Pump and the caretaker of the Jockey
Pump- Bapurao, both were under maintenance. After 7 minutes the lines were
fully pressurized and the Team –Tapri was finally in a position to fight fire
that had by now extinguished on its own.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
workers, like their bosses, always believed that show must go on. They used
water in playing holi with each other till it was all exhausted. They all
missed to see Butterfly drenching. </span><br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On
that eventful day, when Changu conducted fire-raising ceremony outside LPG
Plant in his endeavor to be a shining star like Mangu Mapia, but could manage
to become only a dead star; a lot of curious events took place inside LPG Plant
also. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
life of Workers/Officers was quite normal despite the bosses’ arrival at
Nachpur. Almost all of them were on duty without Uniform.The Local Union
leader DM Yadu, dressed in broken white Kurta Pajama and a sparkling white
Gandhi cap, was issuing sermons against Corruption by Satak/Reno and also about
lack of Safety arrangements in the Plant. Nobody<span style="font-size: large;"> </span>was listening to him; as usual.
They had much better things to do.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Half
of them were busy playing <span style="font-size: large;">'F</span>lash' (ca<span style="font-size: large;">r<span style="font-size: large;">d game)</span></span> or Carom in the Canteen, as usual. Three of
them were fully drunk and were sleeping on the floor at canteen, just behind
the ‘Flash’ Players. The more important ‘Flesh’ Players like Satak, Mami, Reno
and Butterfly were busy outside the Plant. Reno 20W45 had strategically
deployed Techno Tandi, the ‘Flesh’ Player, inside the Plant. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Michael
and Raje were joking, poking around in gay abandon. The shift clerk, before
making the Invoice, was haggling with a truck driver who was not willing to
give more than Rs. 10 for a lucrative trip. A worker responsible to unload bulk
LPG from LPG tankers was not willing to release the tanker without getting Rs.
100 from the driver. So the situation was quite normal. Snafu.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
oldies, having completed their eight hour job in one hour, were singing Bhajans
in the far end of the filling shed, far away from Canteen / Administrative
Block; using the new empty cylinders as Ghatam and Tabla –- Radhe! Radhe!!
Younger ones were watching pornographic albums behind the stacks of cylinders –
Babe! Babe!! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
younger ones had gratefully collected the albums from generous Tandi who
received the bonanza from Butterfly. Those albums were the precious gifts from
Reno20W45 to beloved Butterfly. Reno had inherited just a part of this huge
‘property’ from Satak Pal Sen. Satak had painstakingly accumulated the treasure
, Black and white and color albums on glossy expensive sheets; from various
dealers, transporters, contractors, suppliers of SPCL and <span style="font-size: large;">seniors<span style="font-size: large;">/veterans of the erstwhile foreign oil companies </span></span>over a period of two
decades. He had only parted with the duplicate ones to his dear and worthy disciple
Reno.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">These
honest workers were not claiming any over time expenses for such 'extra curricular' activities
being done during duty time. A few LPG Operators while sitting/squatting on LPG
cylinders, were over-filling/under-filling the cylinders on the carousel (the
machine on which cylinders are filled); without really bothering about Tare
weight or Gross Weight of Cylinders. Satak and Reno could terrorize the
Officers at will but not the permanent Workers of SPCL.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In
any case, Production was more important to Satak, Reno and their bosses. Stock
loss was never an issue in SPCL, but ‘Satak Loss’ was a huge issue for one and
all in Tapri. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tata
Steels used to assert in their famous and charming advertisement in the late
eighties- ‘We also make Steel’, in Hindi: ‘Ispat bhi hum banate hein’. The
proud workers of SPCL LPG Plant also used to articulate the same sentiments
without any fear of plagiarism: ‘We also fill Cylinders’. [So what if the
cylinders were half filled, overfilled or defective?]</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Contractors’
labor were doing Permanent workers’ tedious jobs like handling of filled, empty
and defective Cylinders. They were also catering to the needs of all permanent
Workers/Officers. One of them was assigned the job of cooling drinking water.
(There were no coolers for workers /Officers inside the LPG Filling Shed). He
was cooling water jugs by opening a half
inch LPG pipeline from the ubiquitous LPG Pipeline network and showering jets
of LPG generously on the lower half of the jugs to produce the desired cooling
effect. This way only several hundred kg LPG was used in a day for the welfare
of hardly working SPCL employees whether Officers or workers. As mentioned earlier, Stock loss was never an
issue in SPCL. The bigger issue was 'Satak Loss'.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
Officers, sitting on the LPG Cylinders in the Filling Shed, were discussing
about Local Tapri politics and whining about certain ‘Chitting and Fissing
allowances’ introduced in similar Govt. Oil Companies NPCL and GPCL but denied so
far by the SPCL Management. Some of them were philosophical but a few of them
were agitated that Reno, despite being Junior to them, had superseded all of
them by several grades. This whining, grumbling was just a customary part of
every day routine. Snafu, yet again.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In a
cricket Match between Officers and Workers on last Independence Day,
Chakrawarti Kumar the Manager- Plant was found to be chucking. The workers
began to call him Chucker. On the same day while fielding, he failed miserably
to catch cricket Ball (Batti, in workers’ j</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">argon</span>). But he revealed his
capability to grab a crab (chakkar batti, in workers’ j<span style="font-size: large;">argon</span>) from the wet
outfield. He further demonstrated how to eat it raw. They all began to call him
Chucker Batti. Satak liked the name.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This
is how Chakrawarti Kumar became Chucker Batti.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Manager
–Plant, Chucker Batti, was the next in Command after Reno. As Satak and Reno were just
outside LPG Plant waiting to welcome the learned bosses; it was Chucker Batti
–Chucker Batti all the way. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In late eighties, Reno , a Manager of a Government Oil
Company, and four other Officers though quite senior to Reno but not
promoted as ‘Managers’; used to stay in Flats in an LPG Plant in Central
India. Reno was official ‘expert’ in ‘LPG’ though he was very new to it
having just been transferred and promoted from a POL (Petroleum Oil
Lubricants) Depot from North India. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">While the four <span style="font-size: large;">bachelors </span>stayed
without their families; Reno , the most eligible bachelor preferred to
stay with a local beauty better known as ‘Butterfly’. Butterfly was
actually Mami’s daughter. Like her mother, Butterfly too had a penchant
for local hooch known as Santra. And, you know, Mami was attached to the
Chief Plant Manager Satak Pal Sen who was an ardent admirer of Mami and
Santra both. So, Reno had the official and moral duty to follow his
boss in letter and ‘spirit’.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Reno’s favorite hobby, when he was not in the company of
Butterfly, was to train the ‘useless, rigid and stagnated’ Officers like
Bapurao and his three friends on LPG and other subjects he had mastered
through his journey towards this exalted Managerial stardom yet to be
achieved by his seniors, now his ‘boys’.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">During one of those alcoholic binges, when his house-hold
items were done topsy-turvy in absence of his Butterfly, by a few
inebriated elements; one ‘useless, rigid and stagnated’ Officer
serendipitously discovered and exclaimed that Reno had a magnificent ass
whose cheeks weighed 20 kg each. The ass used to bend smoothly by 45
degree angle immediately after seeing Reno’s boss. Reno came to be known
as Reno 20W45. (20W40, 15W50 etc. are suffixes used in the nomenclature
of Lubricants by the Oil Companies.)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">One fine morning LPG leaked profusely and blissfully from
Knock-Out Drums of the LPG Plant unto a sparking boiler resulting into a
sparkling fire covering even a dome (a Storage Vessel in the shape of
Sphere containing LPG).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And when the dome was burning Reno was fondling…</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Butterfly heard the loud noise resulting due to huge
fire, saw the flames from Reno’s Flat, extricated herself as neatly as
she could and started running out of Plant barefoot. Reno gathered his
wits and her sandals. Then followed her. The leak was arrested by the
‘useless and rigid’ boys and the fire got extinguished on its own.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Miraculously, the domes were saved...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Chief Plant Manager Satak Pal Sen reached Plant after
one hour. Mami and the daughter disappeared into Bandhu’s dhaba outside
the LPG Plant but Reno appeared majestically from somewhere and began
to follow him. The inspection went on for 22 minutes and 35 seconds as
noted by factotum Tandi, Reno’s attendant and Butterfly’s true lover.
There was eerie silence as everybody was struck by the enormity of the
situation. Reno’s mind worked overtime before he broke the silence and
donated his precious expert views, “Sir, I feel LPG leaked from
somewhere.” Wisdom dawned upon everyone and Reno the raconteur explained
how bravely he fought the fire.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The useless, rigid and stagnated Officers muttered in
unison, “Aasoul!!!”. Reno heard it but magnanimously condoned them for
being jealous of his success.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Chief Plant Manager </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Satak Pal Sen </span>submitted
a report to HQO emphasizing that only a small fire broke out in dry
grass as a careless Oil Tanker driver passing through adjacent POL Depot
approach road threw a live cigarette in Plant Premises. HQO cautioned
the Depot Manager and Depot Officers to be careful in future to avoid
recurrence of such incidents and commended Reno 20 W 45 for his timely
action and exemplary courage. In the following DPC (Departmental
Promotion Committee) meeting Reno 20 W 45 was promoted, out of turn, as
Senior Plant Manager.</span><br />

village, made famous for heat and lust by apolaustic Reno and </span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;">callipygian<span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span>Butterfly, had three Oil companies:
SPCL- Superior Petroleum Corp. Ltd, GPCL-Glorious Petroleum… and NPCL-National
Petroleum. Mami, Tandi and <i> </i>Butterfly were Contractor /Transporter Topi Pissoo’s
employees. Mami and Topi Pissoo had worked in all three Companies since the
time the companies were owned by the Americans and the British.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Many
Taprians, like most Indians, were incurably attracted towards white skinned women.
Butterfly was the White legacy of the past. But nobody knew about the type of
legacy- Superior, Glorious or National?
Mami never revealed who he was - A British or an American. Officially Butterfly
was owned by Reno, whatever Tandi may be claiming boastfully about his passionate
triumphs.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Bapu
and his friends used to play Gilli Danda, oblivious to Tapri, with local youth
just outside LPG Plant in an open field on Sundays. On such a Sunday morning,
Reno and Butterfly were serenely enjoying rain dance in the thick green belt,
beneath the perpetually leaking overhead tank constructed by Topi Pissoo.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">At
the same time, beguiling Mami went on a
Special duty, ‘on SPCL duty’ , for two days
and one night to a nearby City with crapulou<span style="font-size: medium;">s </span>Satak Pal Sen, Chief Plant Manager, in a
white ambassador sponsored by Topi Pissoo; who had got all his Tank-Trucks/Jeeps/Cars
painted with the caption ‘On SPCL duty’.
The moment the ambassador car, carrying the <i><b>Grand Ambassadors</b></i> of SPCL, left
Civilization behind; Satak and Mami also left the garb of civilities behind.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Chabi,
a philosopher and the driver, was now wide awake to record the proceedings. Satak
noted after some time that Chabi was ogling at them through the rear mirror.
Satak went berserk. He spat tobacco and spouted ‘C’ rated English abuses learnt
from his Phirangi bosses through his
serrated teeth in a spectacular style that could be bettered
successfully only by Reno. Of course
Reno deserved to be promoted, Chabi pondered while tilting the mirror, now concentrating
only on the sounds…</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">While
‘on SPCL duty’; Mami did not have any job in the day time in that City.
So she
decided to meet the legendary Suren Chor, her first cousin and No. 1
Pick-pocket of the region. Fortunately, Suren Chor was neither on
‘tour’
nor in ‘Sarkari Guest House’. Mami explained about the abundance of Oil
in Tapri,
her connections with Satak / Topi Pissoo and Butterfly’s connection with
Reno. Aging
Suren Chor liked it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Mami
returned home with Satak. Suren Chor followed the very next day with two of his
brightest disciples Changu and Mangu. All three of them were now ‘on SPCL
duty’.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Suren
Chor took the blessings from Darogaji (Police Inspector- Tapri) and Topi Pissoo.
Changu and Mangu started learning fast from Techno Tandi about Petroleum
products. Within a month Suren Chor established his business outside the Depots
and LPG Plant. He just organized all 10 to 15 small operators under one
umbrella-Tapri Petroleum Company-the TPC.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Changu
was in charge of the Railway Siding behind the Depots / LPG Plant from where
his team used to ‘cut’ the products from Pipelines and Railway wagons. Mangu
was responsible to ‘cut’ products from tankers of all the Oil companies leaving
the Depots situated in a row on a Highway. The drivers of the tankers were thrilled;
their ‘cut’ was sold right in front of the Depots!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Suren
Chor first opened his Office and Sales Counter behind Bandhu’s dhaba .The sales
zoomed beyond expectations due to the price differential and Suren Chor’s
marketing skills. He opened another Outlet, on the eve of Republic day, just in
front of LPG Plant’s Officers Residential Complex on the Highway. Within a
month, daily Sales Volume of TPC reached 4000 litres of various Products.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Bapu,
the Safety Engineer, was the only person who had problems with this arrangement
in front of his flat. He could see the empty and filled oil cans of various
sizes in different colors swaying to and fro for the whole day. Bapu complained
to Reno and Satak. They scolded him to mind his own business. He complained to
the Depot Managers <span style="font-size: medium;">of all oil companies</span><b><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></b>too. But they refused to do any thing as the illegal
activities, according to them, were taking place outside their respective Depots.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">After
a few weeks, he wrote letters to SPCL HQO. Sent several reminders. No body responded.
Dejected, he approached Darogaji to lodge an FIR. Darogaji refused to accept
the complaint as it was not signed by Depot Manager or Chief Plant Manager.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Furious
Darogaji informed Satak about the audacity of Bapu to contact him. Contumelious Satak
fulminated hysterically,” Boss is always right, Boss is always right, Boss is
always right…”.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">Coming to senses at last, he called Reno and explained to him
about the scandal- an Officer going against the wishes of Satak! Reno was devastated,
such a betrayal by his own subordinate! Tandi, Mami and Butterfly were
summoned. Satak winked at Mami. Mami left the room like a ghost and reached
Bandhu’s Dhaba. Suren Chor called Mangu. Mangu executed the plan perfectly.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Several
bones in legs, hands, face and ribs broken; Bapu was rushed to a hospital in a very
critical state by compassionate Reno and others. The news spread like today’s
Kolaveri D. Khajulal, CMD-SPCL, <span style="font-size: medium;">humanitarian </span>Buddy Noora- Director Personal, Shekhar Raj-
Director Marketing all came to know about the incidence. Emotional Buddy Noora
directly instructed Satak to ensure that
Bapu survives.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;">( Bapu used to <span style="font-size: medium;">ask his friends if vegetarians eat vegetab<span style="font-size: medium;">les, what does a humanitarian eat!?)</span></span></span> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Buddy
Noora, the humanitarian thought, it was a big crisis for SPCL. An Officer showing disrespect to
all important Hierarchy. It was a Corporate blasphemy not to worship the
bosses. An Officer trying to lodge an FIR! It was a severe crime of
insubordination and bringing the good name of great SPCL to disrepute. Such an
Officer had to be taught a lesson so that no Officer could ever dare to take
such negative actions in future. Bapu had to be charge-sheeted for others to
see. So Bapu had to survive first.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Suren
Chor, his team, drivers, transporters and many others celebrated the victory.
Mangu was hailed as the much needed ‘Mafia’ for the community. Now he was known
as Mangu ‘Mapia’. The Sales of TPC jumped to 7000 litres per day after Mangu Mapia’s
great strike.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Satak
instructed Reno to prepare a cyclostyled letter to all employees of SPCL about
the great betrayal by Bapu. Reno complied and letters to all 9000 employees in
the Country were sent the very next day.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Khajulal,
Buddy Noora, Shekhar Raj and all other big shots decided to have a meeting at
Tapri the very next week to correct the situation. In any case they had to
attend Topi Pissoo’s son’s marriage. Now they had an excuse to visit Tapri
together. Topi Pissoo was delighted!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Satak,
the Chief Manager, and Reno the Senior Manager were eternally grateful blokes. Appreciating
Topi’s services, they decided to have yet another massive Overhead tank constructed
by 'Topi Pissoo Mehta’ the Contractor. Approval to construct the tank on single
quotation basis was not a problem. SPCL had a beautiful, dutiful system
of generating ‘File Notes’ so as to ‘pile notes’ with impunity. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A
blank ‘File Note’ is a thick
sheet with several dotted lines on which thick-s<span style="font-size: large;">kinned </span>bosses sign to hilariously justify some
utterly unjustifiable actions like: out of turn promotions/transfers, placement
of Orders on single quotation basis on exorbitantly higher rates, enhancement of Kerosene Quota in cities where
no body uses kerosene, reconstitution/resitement/appointment/termination of
dealerships , writing off huge stock losses/bad debts in hundreds of Crores,
relaxation in payment terms for big industrial houses including famed Airlines, sending chosen Officers
to Europe for training in LPG Operations in India, reimbursement of air travel /
hotel expenses of Ministry Officials, purchase of expensive gifts for various Govt.
Agencies<span style="font-size: large;"> </span>etc etc…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Topi
sponsored bosses’ air travel and the five star hotel stay in Nachpur, the
district headquarters of Tapri village. (Bosses got the bills reimbursed from
SPCL also and pocketed the money matter of factly, without evincing any trace of eructation...) Topi
arranged a lavish party in bosses’ favorite and an exclusive nude Cabaret Joint-
Bhogi Bar-pride of Nachpur District, frequented by Politicians, Govt. Servants and
desi Oil magnates.</span><br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
file note to construct the Overhead tank was originated by Reno, recommended by
Satak and handed over to Topi for taking the approval from the bosses. Topi
gave the File Note to Shanno, the star performer of Bhogi Bar and darling of
the bosses. Shanno, Julie, Gulbadan and many others arrived, performed and
pleased the bosses as planned by Topi, Satak and Reno. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Shanno, the ecdysiast, finally showed her designer ‘latke-jhatke’; covering her coveted body with </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">only </span>a 'file
note'. Accustomed to these desi Oil Magnates, she too knew how to pile currency notes
from file notes. She ensured that nobody touched her before signing on the File
Note. The bosses sitting in the innermost ring appreciated the game of ‘paper
strip’ teasing .They first stylishly threw the notes, sponsored by Topi, on
Shanno. Then, they attacked on the file note granting their approvals hurriedly
without looking at the body of the File Note. But, the other body in question did
not escape their probing eyes & hands…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Satak,
Reno and Topi, sitting in the middle ring were harmoniously singing just
released the then Doordarshan Hit, “Mile Sur Mera Tumhara …” to the every step
taken by Shanno, Julie and Gulbadan.</span><br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
knowledgeable audience of SPCL Officers sitting on the periphery appreciated
Topi Pissoo Mehta by singing: ‘Jai Mehta
Di, Jai Mehta Di!’. As the chorus gained momentum, Shanno and other dancers
started enchanting the bosses with their plastic love. Excited and ecstatic bosses
also started chanting sacredly in mesmerized tones: ‘Jai Mehta di, Jai Me’ta di!’. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Mighty
thrilled Topi thanked his stars and roared most religiously, as was his wont:
“Jai Mata di!”. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The SPCL community reverberated heartily: “Jai Me’ta di!”.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Bapu
was still in Hospital, though out of danger now. He had also been invited for
the Party. But Bapu, the ‘arrogant traitor’, chose comforts of the hospital to
the ‘spiritual’ luxury of Bhogi Bar! In SPCL, all Parties involving “Spirits
and Salsa" by Sirens used to be called ‘Spiritual Parties’. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As
per the procedures of SPCL, he should have informed the bosses in writing about
his inability to attend the meeting. As such, the Party at Bhogi Bar was an
Official Review Meet of all Officers (around 50) of SPCL Tapri Complex! Satak
and Reno were thrilled that Bapu could now be easily served a Charge Sheet
against ‘Insubordination and unauthorized absenteeism’ for not attending the Party/meeting!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tired
but gratified bosses after the action-packed night at Bhogi Bar spent the next
day shopping, discussing about Shanno et al; and attending the all important
Topison’s marriage. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Meanwhile,
Satak and Reno were in Office preparing for the meeting to take place the
very next day where the only item in the agenda was: the enemy no.1 of SPCL-
Bapurao alias Bapu. Satak was hysterical as usual and was shouting –“Bapu is a
stupid and frustrated fellow! Boss is always right, Boss is always right…” </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Reno
20 W 45 eagerly bowed down by 45 degrees and pleaded Satak to just calm down. And
then to please his boss<span style="font-size: large;"> Satak</span>, Reno magically brandished Bapu’s bright orange diary; which was stolen the
previous night from Bapu’s flat by Team Techno Tandi under the able guidance of
Miss Butterfly Reno 20 W 45.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Satak
really calmed down and even smiled seeing the diary. Now he could read Bapu’s
mind! They started reading a short article written by Bapu in his diary with a heading ‘Scam-ayani’. Bapu
had referred in the article: Satak as Scam-Dev, Mami as Scam-ayani, Reno as
Scam-Putra, Butterfly as Scam-ya, Shekhar Raj as Scum –Dev, , File Notes as
Scam-Sutra, official meetings as Scam-Kreeda and other bosses variously as
Scamsters, scammers, scamps, scam -uck
etc on the lines of Hindi words Kamdev, Kamsutra, Kamayani,Kamuk etc.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After
reading the article, Satak, yet again went berserk. ‘Satak Satak gaya’ so to
say in Hindi. He started scam-pering in his room frantically. So, now, Reno too
had to scam-per incessantly; following his boss bit by bit. Within no time
Satak was shouting in stentorian tones: –“Bapu is stupid …! Boss is always
right…”.This time Reno just could not come to grips with Satak so he had to dash
away calling out Mami. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Mami
entered into the room and Satak into tranquility. Reno preferred to spend rest
of the day in his flat with Butterfly. Satak kept on shouting at regular
interval and Mami continued to sedate him in her own Scam-ayani manner.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Late
in the night Satak and Reno attended the marriage. But here too, after seeing
Bapu’s three friends, Satak went crackers. Every time he saw those three, he became
frenzied and started shouting. Shekhar Raj would just lift his right hand and
Satak will go noiseless. The game went on till the dinner was over.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After
the dinner, when all the guests, lesser Officers of SPCL and even the Topi’s family
members had gone; Topi Pissoo and the drunken <i><b><span style="font-size: large;">G</span>rand Ambassadors</b></i> of SPCL
gathered around the pool. CMD Khajulal was continuing to drink Bloody Mary and
eat Kaju (Cashew nuts) well one hour after the dinner. By now, his mouth was looking
like famous ugly grease Plant of SPCL in a coastal town.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Out of the blue,
Khajulal jumped in the pool and started swimming fully dressed without stopping
to eat Kaju. All others followed the action without wasting even seconds. Topi
Pissoo Mehta Shouted devotedly: “Jai Maata Di!”. The whole swimming pool
erupted faithfully and unfailingly: “Jai Me’ta di”.</span></div>

Mapia had already started collecting Rs 20=00
from every Tank Truck driver for every trip made in any of the Depots;
in his holy bid to protect their birthright to cut the petroleum products from
all the tank trucks and Depots. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">By
now, Changu had started feeling left out by Suren Chor and Mangu Mapia. Chabi, a philosopher and also Pissoo’s driver
was getting closer and closer to Changu. Chabi wanted to remain a Tank Truck
driver for ever but Pissoo promoted him as a Car driver considering Chabi’s
intellect. Chabi wanted money, not status. Thus, Chabi’s plan to become rich quick
was shattered brutally by Pissoo. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
Association painted the whole Tapri red in honor of CMD and Directors. All
association members were neatly clad in new white Kurta Pajama purchased by themselves.
Gandhi Topis (Caps) were provided by Topi Pissoo, obviously! They had also
constructed a stage just outside LPG Plant to felicitate the SPCL bosses
gratefully; for having facilitated them to cut the products from Depots with impunity
despite Bapu’s written complaints. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Since
morning, the loud speaker had started playing patriotic songs at full volume.
Topi, the patron, was humming constantly- ‘Mile Sur Mera Tumhara’. Suren Chor
was singing most patriotically- ‘Mere desh ki Dharti ugle Petrol Diesel...’. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Mangu
Mapia was high on Bhang (Cannabis sativa) and was playing ‘holi’ with himself
and the Drivers / cleaners since morning. He did not stop dancing and singing for
Suren Chor even for a moment. It was like a cosmic dance by a comic dunce for a
chronic dense; savored by all.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">At
the same time, Changu started moving surreptitiously towards Chandpur; the
other end being Nachpur. He had a five liter Oil can in his hand, when he was
last seen.</span><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Caravan
of 15 cars, carrying three bosses, reached Tapri at 11.30 A.M as they got
delayed because of salutation at every Petrol Pump enroute. Suren Chor and
Mangu Mapia presented a memorandum about the problems created by Bapu and his
three friends in the name of Safety for not only the LPG plant’s Tank Truck
drivers but also for the Petrol/Diesel drivers working in the adjacent Oil Depot.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Topi
also submitted a memo regarding his long pending bills against several
constructions in LPG Plant not cleared by Bapu; despite clear instructions
given by Reno and Satak. Shekhar Raj and humanitarian buddy Noora, on behalf of Khajulal, assured
Topi that such indiscipline will not be tolerated.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As
the bosses were about to enter into the Plant; there was a huge explosion just
outside LPG plant at Chandpur end. Consequently, the dry grass out side the
Plant caught fire and the flames reached up to the height of fifty feet. The
flames continued to erupt threatening to enter into the LPG Plant and Depots.
There was utter pandemonium on the stage. Wooden stage, constructed by Topi at
the cost of SPCL, collapsed and all hell broke loose. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Mami
and Butterfly, not on the stage, rushed to Bandhu’s dhaba. Suren Chor and Mangu
Mapia ran in the direction of Chandpur, in search of Changu.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Except
Chabi, all drivers of Tank Trucks and 15 cars ran in the direction towards
Nachpur. Chabi seemed to be mentally prepared for the accident. He was standing
just near his car. He hopped into the car hurriedly and began to honk the horn hard
and hysterically to help holy honchos reach at hotel hastily. Topi and the
bosses heroically got up on their feet and got themselves deposited in the
Ambassador Car. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Heavy-weights
gone, Satak Pal Sen started running from one end of the main gate of 50 ft length to the other end
without entering into the Plant. Throughout he was shouting – Fire! Fire!!
Fire!!! Reno was following Satak inch by inch and decibel by decibel. This
continued for ten minutes though the fire got extinguished on its own within 7
-8 minutes.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Chabi
dropped them into the Hotel in Nachpur -15 Kms away from Tapri. A message for
them was awaiting- The fire had already been extinguished. The Manager of the
Hotel informed them that two journalists were also waiting for them to enquire
about some fire in Tapri. Humanitarian Noora, the more intelligent among them, realizing the
problem, dropped Topi at the Hotel to sort out the journo and ordered Chabi to
immediately rush back to Tapri....</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
meeting, the Scam-Kreeda, finally started at Tapri at 3 O’clock after lavish
lunch en-route. Satak continued to chew tobacco and ruminate while looking
furtively at Mami peeping from the nearby window. Mami was looking at Noora, Noora
was looking at Khaju, and Khaju was more interested in eating Kaju. But Reno
had to sacrifice Butterfly and his spit before he could start the show.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Dear
friends, time has come to choose to be an Aasoul or a wet blanket like Bapu. If you
want to play Golf with us, choose to be an Aasoul. If you wish not to grow and
continue playing ‘Gilli danda’; follow the dirty path chosen by Bapu. If you
want to believe that Satak sir is a pompous jerk, brash, conceited, apolaustic,devoted to
lord Bacchus, an imposter, a womanizer and what not; you may think so. But look
at our great corporate history; all successful bosses have evinced the same characteristics!
And the Corporation has only progressed! To some rigid, useless and negative
Officers; Satak Sir may be just an Aasoul. But our bosses have highest regard
for him, for he is the face of the Company. If negative people want to call me Aasoul,
I take it as a complement because all my successful superiors are like that
only. And I am proud of them.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Shekhar
rose up to deliver his speech. “Corporation is giving you Salary, Perks and all
‘facilities’, you need not think beyond Company. There are Officers who talk
about Country and countrymen, though they take salary from this company! We do
not need such ‘arrogant traitors’! Here at local level Satak and Reno are doing
a great job. Satak at 45 is the Present and Reno at 30 is the future of the Company.
You all should support them. Thinking about what is good for Country is none of
your business.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now
it was the turn of the learned, intelligent and emotional, humanitarian Buddy Noora to inform
about the roll out of the future HR Programs of SPCL. “I fully concur with Reno...
I should say that it was a bold and great Aasoulian logic to covey the simple
underlying philosophy of the Corporate World in general and Oil Sector in particular. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“We
emphatically intend to start a centre of learning on the abstract
subject of ‘Aasoulian Intelligence’ so that other Corporate, especially Oil
Companies, world wide are also benefitted. I am going to have detailed discussion
with Reno how to develop the subject of Aasoulian Intelligence for which we
will soon begin with a project tentatively named APE. We are also going to fund
for research in this pioneering field with the premier Management Institutes
of the World.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Regarding
Bapu, we are going to serve him a Charge Sheet against ‘Insubordination and unauthorized
absenteeism’ tomorrow itself through Reno. As far as his three indisciplined
friends Tej, Kola and Vira are concerned, we are only transferring them to NE, North Zone and
South Zone far away from their residences as per the Section 17.6.1 of the Transfer
Policy according to which a transfer can take place any time any where at the
discretion of the Management of SPCL.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We
have issued them warning letters. They have accepted their grave mistake of
being Bapu’s friend. They have also given in writing that they will never be
associated with the ‘traitor’ in future. That’s all from HR point of view.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Satak
hinted all Officers to leave. Now only the bosses, Satak, Reno and lowly learned, <span style="font-size: large;">certificates accumulator, rain coat wearing, to<span style="font-size: large;">bacco</span></span> chewing, <span style="font-size: large;">Machiavellian</span> <span style="font-size: large;">Bean Counter</span> cum HR Officer Pujya Doshi were left.
There were a few File notes to be signed for the betterment of the Corporation
and the Country. They all signed merrily on the File Notes to pile notes…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Topi
called from Hotel and informed Satak that he had taken care of the journalists
and that he had arranged an action packed ‘Spiritual’ party at Bhogi’s Bar in
the evening inviting the Journos also so as to ensure that SPCL does not earn
negative publicity. Satak Pal Sen began to pirouette.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Around
6:30 PM, the Caravan of 15 cars began to return to Nachpur from Tapri; at last
in a style befitting the desi Oil Magnates of SPCL. Noora ordered Reno to go to
Bhogi’s with only Topi. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The Bosses chose to return to the Hotel. Satak was quite disheartened
to have missed yet another chance to go to Bhogi’s. Noora could not trust the Journo
…</span></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
‘Spiritual Party’ at Bhogi’s started around
7.00 PM without bosses. Shanno, the ecdysiast<span style="font-size: large;">,</span> was at her best and was performing with a new
found fervor. Shekhar, through Reno, had promised her a job of Public Relations
Officer (P.R.O.) in a subsidiary of SPCL in Bombay (Now, Mumbai) only if she
could extract the name of the person who informed the Journo about the Fire Fiasco
at Tapri. This was a life time opportunity for Shanno to extend her business in
Bombay. She could not afford to miss it.</span></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">She
drove the Journo crazy in her intense bid to know the name of the person. The
Journo wanted favors in return. They went on haggling. Finally a deal was
struck. Reno came to know that the informer was local Union leader DM Yadu.</span></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Once
the name was disclosed, Shanno and Reno left Bhogi Bar in a hot haste. Before
leaving, Reno the philanthropist whispered to the Journo that it was not de
rigueur for them <i>to be dead to donate their organs</i>. The journo <span style="font-size: large;">understood and appreciated</span> the theory
and assured to apply and propagate it further<span style="font-size: large;"> as Reno's theory</span>. </span></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And
then, a highly motivated team of Gulbadan, Julie and many more besieged the
Journo as a part of the sanctified deal. </span></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here
at the Hotel, a pall of gloom was still pervading despite their gulping down
several pegs of Santra, the local hooch, so lovingly arranged by steatopygian Mami for dear
Satak. (Johnny walker –Black label a hit of that era was also arranged for the
bosses by the bosses at SPCL expenses. But they preferred to deposit the same in their
luggage <span style="font-size: large;">respecting the austerity measures initiated by the Govt. of India and Ministry of Petroleum a few months back</span>.) </span></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Noora
kept on thinking philosophically about ‘Aasoulian Intelligence’ to be applied
in HR matters of SPCL. Khajulal continued to do most efficiently what he had
been doing for the last three days. Satak resumed to go Satak, as usual.
Shekhar persisted to raise his right hand to nurse Satak, every ten minutes.</span></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Reno
and Shanno arrived at the Hotel by 9 O’clock. Reno heroically announced the
name of the new enemy of SPCL- D.M.Yadu. Humanitar<span style="font-size: large;">ian </span>Noora dictated to Reno the content of
the charge-sheet to be given to Yadu. </span></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now,
the mood of the room changed dramatically. Shekhar congratulated Shanno for
becoming a PRO. The pro was now proud to be a PRO. Noora handed over a letter of
appointment. Shanno smiled and said coyly -'Jai Maata di!' This electrified the
atmosphere .The bosses smiled and salivated copiously…</span></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Shanno
went back to Bhogi Bar, as a part of the consecrated deal, for the last time.
Bosses left for the Airport. A <span style="font-size: large;">short </span>three days and two nights package at the cost of
SPCL </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">had<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span>to come to <span style="font-size: large;">an end</span> because the bosses had utmost respect for the austerity measures announced by the Govt<span style="font-size: large;">. of India.</span> </span></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">(Noora
had
gone but the concept of ‘Noora Kushti’, as a new Management theory, had
arrived. You have to have Aasoulian Intelligence to understand Noora
Kushti. More about these sacred Management Theories in future...)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Biking may mean differently to different people but
essentially, it is just an urge to surge ahead; for good or bad. Whether a
biker is a young one, a pick-pocket, Oil Mafioso or a Spiritual Baba; the urge
remains the same. There was no dearth of this holy urge in Tapri Oil Complex
too. Internal and External Oil Mafia- all of them were into bikes and biking;
predominantly because of free availability of petrol for them at Tapri Oil
Complex.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">For Reno, the Hero, biking meant an urge to merge with
Butterfly on his bike in Tapri Forest or on any wide open highway. For oldie
Satak Pal Sen biking was quite nostalgic. It reminded the urge to splurge
in ‘Santra & Soda with Mami’ in good old halcyon days of erstwhile American
Oil Company; on Nachpur Roads full of pot holes. Every pot hole had bestowed
him an opportunity to come spiritually closer to the pillion lady Mami. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></div>

to reluctantly lift from Kumbh Mela at Haridwar, after pick-pocketing a rich
devotee; to survive an imminent attack from a chasing Police Party.Now, he had
brought the heavily made over Bullet to Tapri in his new avatar as an Oil Mafia
king. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></div>

Hussain the painter, as they both were discalced i.e. they walked barefoot.
According to him, both of them were ‘finger artists’. Suren Chor always boasted
that he was a better artist, as Hussain could never indulge in biking barefoot
on Indian streets. Moreover, he felt superior that his art was instantly
rewarding. He also believed that it was birthright of every pick-pocket to
excel in biking as both the arts required sophisticated fingers-hand-eye
coordination. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Just after the fire broke outside LPG Plant, Suren Chor and
Mangu Mapia had started to run behind disgruntled Changu who, at the behest and
instance of Topi Pissoo’s car driver Chabi, had set the fire outside Tapri LPG
Plant. (As Changu was neglected by Suren Chor and Mangu Mapia; he wanted to
embarrass them in front of SPCL bosses from HQO. Chabi had a grudge against his
promotion by Topi as a car driver. Obviously Chabi was much better off
financially as a Tank Truck Driver.)</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></div>

Mangu ran in reverse direction to reach at Bandhu’s dhaba to pick his bike. By
now, Darogaji too had reached there on his bike. Darogaji chose to follow
disgruntled Changu, leaving his Police Party to systematically supervise the
already extinguished fire. Incidentally, the extinguished fire was yet again
extinguished one hour later by Nachpur Fire Brigade.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></div>

nearby cotton-fields to board a bus towards Chandpur. Within a minute Darogaji
and Mangu Mapia arrived. Suren Chor sat at the pillion of Darogaji. The bikers
were now on the verge to surge ahead to purge Changu’s dissension forever.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></div>

forced to get down form the bus and was taken to interior of Tapri forest.
Suren Chor, the mentor of Changu and Mangu, now had to discipline Changu. No
benevolence could be expected from Oil Mafia against such a crime of
betrayal. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Changu was beaten dreadfully by three of them. He
immediately revealed the name of Chabi as his accomplice. Now, they competed
with each other in riding the two bikes over Changu’s body and face. His whole
body was desperately flattened and mutilated. The lethal game continued for two
hours. Finally, Mangu Mapia took out petrol from fuel tank of his bike and set
the dead body afire. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></div>

dosti hum nahin todenge” on Darogaji’s bike in Jai-Veeru-Sholey style! Mangu
Mapia smiled wryly. This was the song Changu and Mangu had been singing for the
past five years in front of their boss Suren Chor! Mangu, probably, wanted to
sing a dirge for Changu, but ultimately the urge to surge ahead prevailed.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-size: 18.0pt;">Chabi was son of a rich farmer in Chamoli region of UP
Hills, now a part of Uttarakhand. His father wanted him to be an engineer.
Chabi too was very much interested in automobiles and biking. While he could
not be selected in a Govt. Eng. college in UP, his father ensured to send him
in a Private Engineering College in Central India by paying a huge Capitation
fees as per the prevailing trend in late eighties.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-size: 18.0pt;">For Chabi life just meant biking. No body was
interested to know his real name. He always had his bike keys (Chabi) in his
hands so his friends started calling him Chabi. He was also known as Chamoli
biker. The short form was again Chabi. In fact, his chubby cheeks also
justified this name. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-size: 18.0pt;">He scrupulously enjoyed his life, mostly about biking,
in the College without being interested in academics. Though he was intelligent
and knowledgeable, finally he had to leave college without completion of
degree. Soon his father disowned him. As an engineering college drop out, first
of all he started as a bike-mechanic being a bike aficionado. But that was not
enough to meet his expenses. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-size: 18.0pt;">While repairing bikes of Oil mafia of Tapri, he
realized it was a great idea to be a Tank Truck driver to enhance his otherwise
languishing career. He managed to impress Topi Pissoo, the Contractor Cum
Transporter of SPCL. Topi liked him and made him driver. He remained driver of
a Tank truck for three years. Within a year he had purchased a second hand
Yamaha and now had enough money to survive for several months.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-size: 18.0pt;">Topi’s daughter Kammo was very much attracted to
Chabi’s pleasing personality, his bike and his biking attitude. She thought
Chabi was too sophisticated to be a Tank Truck driver. Hence Chabi was promoted
as a Car driver which Chabi dissented to a great extent. While Chabi also liked
her, the love story could never start due to Chabi’s lack of enterprise.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-size: 18.0pt;">Chabi had come to know that Suren Chor, Darogaji and
Mangu Mapia had gone bike chasing in search of Changu. He knew the meaning of
this bike chase.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-size: 18.0pt;">He dropped the SPCL bosses at their hotel, parked the
car at hotel leaving the keys in the car itself and rushed to his one room
house in an auto without waiting for a Cycle rickshaw. He collected his
valuables in a bag and kick-started his Yamaha bike to leave Nachpur for good.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-size: 18.0pt;">He had just accelerated the bike when he saw Mangu
Mapia and Suren Chor approaching him from behind on Mangu’s bike. They were
only fifty meters behind him. He wanted to maintain at least that distance till
he could reach the highway.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-size: 18.0pt;">He maneuvered his bike adroitly through the crowd at a
great speed. Mangu was no inferior in this game. Still Mangu was not able to
reduce the distance. Within no time they were on highway. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-size: 18.0pt;">Chabi knew both the bikes were powered by the stolen
Petrol from SPCL depot at Tapri. But there was a huge difference. Mangu’s bike
was powered by stolen ‘SE grade’ PSU Engine Oil from Tapri. On the contrary
Chabi’s bike was rather ‘empowered’ by a much better ‘SF grade’ of a private
lubricating Oil company; which was the best available Lubricant grade at that
time. Soon, it became one sided race. The distance between both the bikes
went on increasing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-size: 18.0pt;">Still Chabi was petrified. He did not even dare to
look back for the first two hours, though Mangu had stopped chasing him after
first twenty Kilometers only. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-size: 18.0pt;">For Chabi, now biking meant just an urge to emerge as
a survivor.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-size: 18.0pt;">Chabi drove for the whole evening and stopped at a
very famous and crowded dhaba on the National Highway leading from Nachpur to
UP around 1-00 AM. He got the bike tank filled by purchasing petrol for
the first time in last three years and slept for four hours at the dhaba amidst
a large no. of drivers and cleaners sleeping on the Charpais (Wooden and jute
beds).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-size: 18.0pt;">He got up early in the morning in an effervescent mood
and began to bike singing the song originally sung by John Denver- ‘Country
roads take me home’. He had heard it in college days from friends. He always
ensured to change ‘Shenandoah River ’with ‘Alakhnanda River’ in his version. As
Haridwar was approaching fast, he began to sing Garhwali and Hindi songs
glorifying mountains and holy rivers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-size: 18.0pt;">Once he passed Rishikesh, he began to wonder about the
wastage of biking time in Central India. For him the Mountain biking was a
rediscovery. The more he biked and sang the songs, more nostalgic he became. He
soon realized mountain biking comes in package including: Mountain rivers,
vegetables, specialty fruits, panoramic vistas of snow clad mountains, blooming
Rhododendron (Buransh in Hindi), meandering roads, Garhwali- Kumauni Cuisine,
songs-music, festivals, Mountain fragrance etc. Overwhelmed by the new
experience, Chabi finally decided to become a Baba- ‘Chabi wale Baba’ without
deciding the exact place of settlement in UP-Hills.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-size: 18.0pt;">The whole episode turned his biking philosophy to a
higher degree. Now, Biking was not just Biking but was Mountain Biking with an
eternal urge to emerge as a Champion.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

associated with Chabi in the future articles.) </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On
that eventful day, when Changu conducted fire-raising ceremony outside LPG
Plant in his endeavor to be a shining star like Mangu Mapia, but could manage
to become only a dead star; a lot of curious events took place inside LPG Plant
also. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
life of Workers/Officers was quite normal despite the bosses’ arrival at
Nachpur. Almost all of them were on duty without Uniform.The Local Union
leader DM Yadu, dressed in broken white Kurta Pajama and a sparkling white
Gandhi cap, was issuing sermons against Corruption by Satak/Reno and also about
lack of Safety arrangements in the Plant. Nobody<span style="font-size: large;"> </span>was listening to him; as usual.
They had much better things to do.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Half
of them were busy playing <span style="font-size: large;">'F</span>lash' (ca<span style="font-size: large;">r<span style="font-size: large;">d game)</span></span> or Carom in the Canteen, as usual. Three of
them were fully drunk and were sleeping on the floor at canteen, just behind
the ‘Flash’ Players. The more important ‘Flesh’ Players like Satak, Mami, Reno
and Butterfly were busy outside the Plant. Reno 20W45 had strategically
deployed Techno Tandi, the ‘Flesh’ Player, inside the Plant. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Michael
and Raje were joking, poking around in gay abandon. The shift clerk, before
making the Invoice, was haggling with a truck driver who was not willing to
give more than Rs. 10 for a lucrative trip. A worker responsible to unload bulk
LPG from LPG tankers was not willing to release the tanker without getting Rs.
100 from the driver. So the situation was quite normal. Snafu.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
oldies, having completed their eight hour job in one hour, were singing Bhajans
in the far end of the filling shed, far away from Canteen / Administrative
Block; using the new empty cylinders as Ghatam and Tabla –- Radhe! Radhe!!
Younger ones were watching pornographic albums behind the stacks of cylinders –
Babe! Babe!! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
younger ones had gratefully collected the albums from generous Tandi who
received the bonanza from Butterfly. Those albums were the precious gifts from
Reno20W45 to beloved Butterfly. Reno had inherited just a part of this huge
‘property’ from Satak Pal Sen. Satak had painstakingly accumulated the treasure
, Black and white and color albums on glossy expensive sheets; from various
dealers, transporters, contractors, suppliers of SPCL over a period of two
decades. He had only parted with the duplicate ones to his dear and worthy disciple
Reno.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">These
honest workers were not claiming any over time expenses for such activities
being done during duty time. A few LPG Operators while sitting/squatting on LPG
cylinders, were over-filling/under-filling the cylinders on the carousel (the
machine on which cylinders are filled); without really bothering about Tare
weight or Gross Weight of Cylinders. Satak and Reno could terrorize the
Officers at will but not the permanent Workers of SPCL.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In
any case, Production was more important to Satak, Reno and their bosses. Stock
loss was never an issue in SPCL, but ‘Satak Loss’ was a huge issue for one and
all in Tapri. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tata
Steels used to assert in their famous and charming advertisement in the late
eighties- ‘We also make Steel’, in Hindi: ‘Ispat bhi hum banate hein’. The
proud workers of SPCL LPG Plant also used to articulate the same sentiments
without any fear of plagiarism: ‘We also fill Cylinders’. [So what if the
cylinders were half filled, overfilled or defective?]</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Contractors’
labor were doing Permanent workers’ tedious jobs like handling of filled, empty
and defective Cylinders. They were also catering to the needs of all permanent
Workers/Officers. One of them was assigned the job of cooling drinking water.
(There were no coolers for workers /Officers inside the LPG Filling Shed). He
was cooling water jugs by opening a half
inch LPG pipeline from the ubiquitous LPG Pipeline network and showering jets
of LPG generously on the lower half of the jugs to produce the desired cooling
effect. This way only several hundred kg LPG was used in a day for the welfare
of hardly working SPCL employees. As mentioned earlier, Stock loss was never an
issue in SPCL. The bigger issue was 'Satak Loss'.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
Officers, sitting on the LPG Cylinders in the Filling Shed, were discussing
about Local Tapri politics and whining about certain ‘Chitting and Fissing
allowances’ introduced in similar Govt. Oil Companies NPCL and GPCL but denied so
far by the SPCL Management. Some of them were philosophical but a few of them
were agitated that Reno, despite being Junior to them, had superseded all of
them by several grades. This whining, grumbling was just a customary part of
every day routine. Snafu, yet again.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In a
cricket Match between Officers and Workers on last Independence Day,
Chakrawarti Kumar the Manager- Plant was found to be chucking. The workers
began to call him Chucker. On the same day while fielding, he failed miserably
to catch cricket Ball (Batti, in workers’ language). But he revealed his
capability to grab a crab (chakkar batti, in workers’ j<span style="font-size: large;">argon</span>) from the wet
outfield. He further demonstrated how to eat it raw. They all began to call him
Chucker Batti. Satak liked the name.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This
is how Chakrawarti Kumar became Chucker Batti.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Manager
–Plant, Chucker Batti, was the next in Command. As Satak and Reno were just
outside LPG Plant waiting to welcome the learned bosses; it was Chucker Batti
–Chucker Batti all the way. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Techno
Tandi, Butterfly’s true lover, had grown Mint leaves & green chilies in a
small area in the perennial ‘wet-land’ below the eternally leaking overhead
water-tank constructed by Topi Pissoo. The ‘wet-land’ was exclusively used by
Butterfly, Reno, Tandi and Chucker Batti for cultural activities like rain
dance and daily local food festivals. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
whole local ‘wetland’ had a large no. of land / terrestrial crabs that elsewhere
in Tapri used to come up out of hibernation only after Monsoon. Techno Tandi was
unofficial caretaker of the ‘wet-land’ & crabs. While he had learnt from
Chucker Batti how to eat live crab; he was now far ahead in the knowledge and
practice of ‘crabbing’; leaving the art of cribbing to the successful SPCL Officers.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Reno found the crabs very cute. The
day he saw a full size crab for the first time, he was sure about his second
car- the vintage ‘landcrab’ (BMC ADO17),</span> <span style="font-weight: normal;">made in
England.</span> </span></div>

capriciously lateral/forward moving weird creatures, like many of the bosses in
SPCL, were ultimate fear factor food for most of the people in Tapri but not to
Tandi, Butterfly, Reno and Chucker Batti who used to enjoy local food festival of
crabs, cooked or raw, in the ‘wet-land’ every other day.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As
Butterfly and Reno were busy outside the Plant in managing the ‘extravaganza’
for the bosses; Chucker Batti was quite upbeat at the prospect to grab a larger
and better crab. Tandi caught a fully grown crab, dressed it with mint leaves,
green chilies and some salt always available in his pocket. Chucker Batti had a
pathetic -hungry and ravenous- face while watching Techno Tandi handling the live
crab so deftly. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tandi
offered the first one, a pale yellowish crab, to Chucker Batti. He did grab the
drab crab, removed the scab, began to dab the flab of the live crab, and then
finally put a large slab of the crab in his mouth. He pleasantly felt a part of
the crab wriggling around in his mouth in a green pool of mint leaves and green
chilies. He closed his eyes and began to thank God for giving him an
opportunity like this to savor such a delicious crab. For the rest of the day,
now he could blab about the crab he was just having.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
moment </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Chucker Batti </span>was having the sensation of the third crab wriggling in his mouth,
the Security Officer blew the siren as he saw huge flames outside the Plant. The
pleasure was so heavenly that Chucker Batti found the sound of Siren melodious
and in sync with the exotic experience he was having through the wriggling crab
in his mouth. As Chucker Batti did not respond to the siren; Tandi thought it
was just a mock fire drill. They both continued to devour the crabs like tod<span style="font-size: large;">ay's</span> Suresh
and Ramesh eating Cadbury chocolate in a trance.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Fa<span style="font-size: large;">c</span>totum Techno Tandi, just one of the Contractor labor but extremely essential to Butterfly
and LPG Plant Operations, heard a lot of workers screaming. Tandi soon realized
that something had really gone wrong. He instructed Chucker Batti to take control of
the situation at the main gate. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Chucker Batti followed Tandi’s instructions most
loyally and reached at Main Gate to see Satak and Reno running from one end to
the other end of the Main Gate, from outside, while shouting ‘Fire-Fire’. He tenaciously
joined them inch by inch and decibel by decibel. The only variation was that he
was shouting ‘fire-fire’, with the last crab still in his mouth, from the
inside of the closed Main Gate.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As
the crab melted in his mouth, the reality also did in his mind .He began to
shake in his pants as he knew there was almost no water in the huge Underground
Tank or even the smaller Capacity eternally leaking Overhead Tank Constructed
by Topi Pissoo…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
water available was just enough for two-three minutes to fight against fire.
Whatever water was pumped daily from two bore wells was barely enough to take
care of the daily requirement of Plant mainly due to leak in both the tanks
since the inception of the Plant. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
LPG Operators were thrilled to hear the sound of siren. They knew it will be
the end of the duty for them for the day. They stopped the carousel (the
machine at which cylinders are filled) at once. Hapless workers stopped playing
flash and carom. They all, except the three drunken ones, sprung to action.
They all knew there was practically no water to fight fire in case the fire
reaches inside the Plant. They had been taught by the Local Management that the
show must go on.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So,
they were ready for the show and ready to play Holi with each other- may be
just for only two-three minutes. Some connected the fire hoses to fire
hydrants; some reached at the fixed water monitors and began to wait for the
fire engine to start. Some took Fire Extinguishers and ran towards the fire. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The all knowing, raincoat wearing, Ac</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">count <span style="font-size: large;">Officer <span style="font-size: large;">cum HR Officer </span>Pujya Dos<span style="font-size: large;">hi</span></span></span> - as per his role in the Fire Organization Chart- telephoned to
Police, fire-brigade, Civil Authorities, Ambulance and the neighboring Oil
Companies depots and ran out of Administrative Block to Security Block to help
the injured , if any. <span style="font-size: large;">He cleared the traffic <span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>and a truck load of filled cylinders</i></b> </span> <i><b>without documents</b></i> at the main gate.Now<span style="font-size: large;"> he too was free to<span style="font-size: large;"> follow his bosse<span style="font-size: large;">s.</span></span> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Union
leader DM Yadu ran towards the gate and saw the wooden platform collapsing and
the bosses falling. He then saw the actual fire from the inside. Now he rushed
to administrative Block and narrated the whole story over telephone to two
journalists of local news papers. (Kindly see the Chapter no. 7- A dancing pro
becomes a PRO about Journalists.) </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Many
of the Officers rushed to fire engine to start it, without succeeding to start
it even after five minutes of blowing up of the danger siren. It was the duty
of Safety Engineer Bapurao to start the Fire engine but the <i><span style="font-size: large;">'</span></i>arrogant traito<span style="font-size: large;">r' </span>was still in the Hospital.He certainly des<span style="font-size: large;">erved one more Charge She<span style="font-size: large;">et.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">At
last Techno Tandi reached at the Fire Engine Room with a crab in his each hand
and one in mouth. He transferred the crab from the right hand to the left hand,
started the Fire Engine with his right hand within a few seconds without
letting go his precious grabs - the crabs.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">They
all waited for two more minutes to see the pressure in the Pipelines develop.
The lines were not pressurized as Jockey Pump and the caretaker of the Jockey
Pump- Bapurao, both were under maintenance. After 7 minutes the lines were
fully pressurized and the Team –Tapri was finally in a position to fight fire
that had by now extinguished on its own.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The
workers, like their bosses, always believed that show must go on. They used
water in playing holi with each other till it was all exhausted. They all
missed to see Butterfly drenching. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">( To be continued...)</span></div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Chabi
was son of a rich farmer in Chamoli region of UP Hills, now a part of
Uttarakhand. His father wanted him to be an engineer. Chabi too was very much
interested in automobiles and biking. While he could not be selected in a Govt.
Eng. college in UP, his father ensured to send him in a Private Engineering
College in Central India by paying a huge Capitation fees as per the prevailing
trend in late eighties.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For
Chabi life just meant biking. No body was interested to know his real name. He
always had his bike keys (Chabi) in his hands so his friends started calling
him Chabi. He was also known as Chamoli biker. The short form was again Chabi. In
fact, his chubby cheeks also justified this name. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He scrupulously
enjoyed his life, mostly about biking, in the College without being interested
in academics. Though he was intelligent and knowledgeable, finally he had to
leave college without completion of degree. Soon his father disowned him. As an
engineering college drop out, first of all he started as a bike-mechanic being
a bike aficionado. But that was not enough to meet his expenses. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">While
repairing bikes of Oil mafia of Tapri, he realized it was a great idea to be a
Tank Truck driver to enhance his otherwise languishing career. He managed to
impress Topi Pissoo, the Contractor Cum Transporter of SPCL. Topi liked him and
made him driver. He remained driver of a Tank truck for three years. Within a
year he had purchased a second hand Yamaha and now had enough money to survive
for several months.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Topi’s
daughter Kammo was very much attracted to Chabi’s pleasing personality, his
bike and his biking attitude. She thought Chabi was too sophisticated to be a
Tank Truck driver. Hence Chabi was promoted as a Car driver which Chabi
dissented to a great extent. While Chabi also liked her, the love story could never
start due to Chabi’s lack of enterprise.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Chabi
had come to know that Suren Chor, Darogaji and Mangu Mapia had gone bike
chasing in search of Changu. He knew the meaning of this bike chase.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He
dropped the SPCL bosses at their hotel, parked the car at hotel leaving the
keys in the car itself and rushed to his one room house in an auto without
waiting for a Cycle rickshaw. He collected his valuables in a bag and
kick-started his Yamaha bike to leave Nachpur for good.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He
had just accelerated the bike when he saw Mangu Mapia and Suren Chor
approaching him from behind on Mangu’s bike. They were only fifty meters behind
him. He wanted to maintain at least that distance till he could reach the
highway.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He
maneuvered his bike adroitly through the crowd at a great speed. Mangu was no
inferior in this game. Still Mangu was not able to reduce the distance. Within
no time they were on highway. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Chabi
knew both the bikes were powered by the stolen Petrol from SPCL depot at Tapri.
But there was a huge difference. Mangu’s bike was powered by stolen ‘SE grade’
PSU Engine Oil from Tapri. On the contrary Chabi’s bike was rather ‘empowered’
by a much better ‘SF grade’ of a private lubricating Oil company; which was the best available Lubricant grade at that
time. Soon, it became one sided race.
The distance between both the bikes went on increasing.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Still
Chabi was petrified. He did not even dare to look back for the first two hours,
though Mangu had stopped chasing him after first twenty Kilometers only. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For
Chabi, now biking meant just an urge to emerge as a survivor.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Chabi
drove for the whole evening and stopped at a very famous and crowded dhaba on
the National Highway leading from Nachpur to UP around 1-00 AM. He got the bike tank filled by purchasing
petrol for the first time in last three years and slept for four hours at the
dhaba amidst a large no. of drivers and cleaners sleeping on the Charpais (Wooden
and jute beds).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He
got up early in the morning in an effervescent mood and began to bike singing
the song originally sung by John Denver- ‘Country roads take me home’. He had
heard it in college days from friends. He always ensured to change ‘Shenandoah River
’with ‘Alakhnanda River’ in his version. As Haridwar was approaching fast, he
began to sing Garhwali and Hindi songs glorifying mountains and holy rivers.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Once
he passed Rishikesh, he began to wonder about the wastage of biking time in
Central India. For him the Mountain biking was a rediscovery. The more he biked
and sang the songs, more nostalgic he became. He soon realized mountain biking
comes in package including: Mountain rivers, vegetables, specialty fruits, panoramic
vistas of snow clad mountains, blooming Rhododendron (Buransh in Hindi), meandering
roads, Garhwali- Kumauni Cuisine, songs-music, festivals, Mountain fragrance
etc. Overwhelmed by the new experience, Chabi finally decided to become a Baba-
‘Chabi wale Baba’ without deciding the exact place of settlement in UP-Hills.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The whole
episode turned his biking philosophy to a higher degree. Now, Biking was not
just Biking but was Mountain Biking with an eternal urge to emerge as a Champion.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Biking may mean differently to different people but
essentially, it is just an urge to surge ahead; for good or bad. Whether a
biker is a young one, a pick-pocket, Oil Mafioso or a Spiritual Baba; the urge
remains the same. There was no dearth of this holy urge in Tapri Oil Complex
too. Internal and External Oil Mafia- all of them were into bikes and biking;
predominantly because of free availability of petrol for them at Tapri Oil
Complex.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">For Reno, the Hero, biking meant an urge to merge with
Butterfly on his bike in Tapri Forest or on any wide open highway. For oldie
Satak Pal Sen biking was quite nostalgic. It reminded the urge to splurge
in ‘Santra & Soda with Mami’ in good old halcyon days of erstwhile American
Oil Company; on Nachpur Roads full of pot holes. Every pot hole had bestowed
him an opportunity to come spiritually closer to the pillion lady Mami. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Suren Chor had an Enfield (Bullet) which, years ago, he had
to reluctantly lift from Kumbh Mela at Haridwar, after pick-pocketing a rich
devotee; to survive an imminent attack from a chasing Police Party.Now, he had
brought the heavily made over Bullet to Tapri in his new avatar as an Oil Mafia
king. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Suren Chor, the biker, loved to compare himself with MF
Hussain the painter, as they both were discalced i.e. they walked barefoot.
According to him, both of them were ‘finger artists’. Suren Chor always boasted
that he was a better artist, as Hussain could never indulge in biking barefoot
on Indian streets. Moreover, he felt superior that his art was instantly
rewarding. He also believed that it was birthright of every pick-pocket to
excel in biking as both the arts required sophisticated fingers-hand-eye
coordination. </span></div>

Mangu Mapia had started to run behind disgruntled Changu who, at the behest and
instance of Topi Pissoo’s car driver Chabi, had set the fire outside Tapri LPG
Plant. (As Changu was neglected by Suren Chor and Mangu Mapia; he wanted to
embarrass them in front of SPCL bosses from HQO. Chabi had a grudge against his
promotion by Topi as a car driver. Obviously Chabi was much better off
financially as a Tank Truck Driver.)</span></div>

Mangu ran in reverse direction to reach at Bandhu’s dhaba to pick his bike. By
now, Darogaji too had reached there on his bike. Darogaji chose to follow
disgruntled Changu, leaving his Police Party to systematically supervise the
already extinguished fire. Incidentally, the extinguished fire was yet again
extinguished one hour later by Nachpur Fire Brigade.</span></div>

nearby cotton-fields to board a bus towards Chandpur. Within a minute Darogaji
and Mangu Mapia arrived. Suren Chor sat at the pillion of Darogaji. The bikers
were now on the verge to surge ahead to purge Changu’s dissension forever.</span></div>

forced to get down form the bus and was taken to interior of Tapri forest.
Suren Chor, the mentor of Changu and Mangu, now had to discipline Changu. No
benevolence could be expected from Oil Mafia against such a crime of
betrayal. </span></div>

immediately revealed the name of Chabi as his accomplice. Now, they competed
with each other in riding the two bikes over Changu’s body and face. His whole
body was desperately flattened and mutilated. The lethal game continued for two
hours. Finally, Mangu Mapia took out petrol from fuel tank of his bike and set
the dead body afire. </span></div>

dosti hum nahin todenge” on Darogaji’s bike in Jai-Veeru-Sholey style! Mangu
Mapia smiled wryly. This was the song Changu and Mangu had been singing for the
past five years in front of their boss Suren Chor! Mangu, probably, wanted to
sing a dirge for Changu, but ultimately the urge to surge ahead prevailed.</span></div>

biking exercise’ despite having an urge… </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Around
6:30 PM, the Caravan of 15 cars began to return to Nachpur from Tapri; at last
in a style befitting the desi Oil Magnates of SPCL. Noora ordered Reno to go to
Bhogi’s with only Topi. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The Bosses chose to return to the Hotel. Satak was quite disheartened
to have missed yet another chance to go to Bhogi’s. Noora could not trust the Journo
…</span></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
‘Spiritual Party’ at Bhogi’s started around
7.00 PM without bosses. Shanno, the ecdysiast<span style="font-size: large;">,</span> was at her best and was performing with a new
found fervor. Shekhar, through Reno, had promised her a job of Public Relations
Officer (P.R.O.) in a subsidiary of SPCL in Bombay (Now, Mumbai) only if she
could extract the name of the person who informed the Journo about the Fire Fiasco
at Tapri. This was a life time opportunity for Shanno to extend her business in
Bombay. She could not afford to miss it.</span></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">She
drove the Journo crazy in her intense bid to know the name of the person. The
Journo wanted favors in return. They went on haggling. Finally a deal was
struck. Reno came to know that the informer was local Union leader DM Yadu.</span></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Once
the name was disclosed, Shanno and Reno left Bhogi Bar in a hot haste. Before
leaving, Reno the philanthropist whispered to the Journo that it was not de
rigueur for them <i>to be dead to donate their organs</i>. The journo <span style="font-size: large;">understood and appreciated</span> the theory
and assured to apply and propagate it further<span style="font-size: large;"> as</span> Reno’s theory of organ donation.<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And
then, a highly motivated team of Gulbadan, Julie and many more besieged the
Journo as a part of the sanctified deal. </span></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here
at the Hotel, a pall of gloom was still pervading despite their gulping down
several pegs of Santra, the local hooch, so lovingly arranged by steatopygian Mami for dear
Satak. (Johnny walker –Black label a hit of that era was also arranged for the
bosses by the bosses at SPCL expenses. But they preferred to deposit the same in their
luggage <span style="font-size: large;">respecting the austerity measures initiated by the Govt. of India and Ministry of Petroleum a few months back</span>.) </span></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Noora
kept on thinking philosophically about ‘Aasoulian Intelligence’ to be applied
in HR matters of SPCL. Khajulal continued to do most efficiently what he had
been doing for the last three days. Satak resumed to go Satak, as usual.
Shekhar persisted to raise his right hand to nurse Satak, every ten minutes.</span></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Reno
and Shanno arrived at the Hotel by 9 O’clock. Reno heroically announced the
name of the new enemy of SPCL- D.M.Yadu. Humanitar<span style="font-size: large;">ian </span>Noora dictated to Reno the content of
the charge-sheet to be given to Yadu. </span></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now,
the mood of the room changed dramatically. Shekhar congratulated Shanno for
becoming a PRO. The pro was now proud to be a PRO. Noora handed over a letter of
appointment. Shanno smiled and said coyly -'Jai Maata di!' This electrified the
atmosphere .The bosses smiled and salivated copiously…</span></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Shanno
went back to Bhogi Bar, as a part of the consecrated deal, for the last time.
Bosses left for the Airport. A <span style="font-size: large;">short </span>three days and two nights package at the cost of
SPCL </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">had<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span>to come to <span style="font-size: large;">an end</span> because the bosses had utmost respect for the austerity measures announced by the Govt<span style="font-size: large;">. of India.</span> </span></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="js-tweet-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">(Noora
had gone but the concept of ‘Noora Kushti’, as a new Management theory, had
arrived. You have to have Aasoulian Intelligence to understand Noora Kushti. More about these sacred Management Theories in future...)</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
meeting, the Scam-Kreeda, finally started at Tapri at 3 O’clock after lavish
lunch en-route. Satak continued to chew tobacco and ruminate while looking
furtively at Mami peeping from the nearby window. Mami was looking at Noora, Noora
was looking at Khaju, and Khaju was more interested in eating Kaju. But Reno
had to sacrifice Butterfly and his spit before he could start the show.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Dear
friends, time has come to choose to be an Aasoul or a wet blanket like Bapu. If you
want to play Golf with us, choose to be an Aasoul. If you wish not to grow and
continue playing ‘Gilli danda’; follow the dirty path chosen by Bapu. If you
want to believe that Satak sir is a pompous jerk, brash, conceited, apolaustic,devoted to
lord Bacchus, an imposter, a womanizer and what not; you may think so. But look
at our great corporate history; all successful bosses have evinced the same characteristics!
And the Corporation has only progressed! To some rigid, useless and negative
Officers; Satak Sir may be just an Aasoul. But our bosses have highest regard
for him, for he is the face of the Company. If negative people want to call me Aasoul,
I take it as a complement because all my successful superiors are like that
only. And I am proud of them.”</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Shekhar
rose up to deliver his speech. “Corporation is giving you Salary, Perks and all
‘facilities’, you need not think beyond Company. There are Officers who talk
about Country and countrymen, though they take salary from this company! We do
not need such ‘arrogant traitors’! Here at local level Satak and Reno are doing
a great job. Satak at 45 is the Present and Reno at 30 is the future of the Company.
You all should support them. Thinking about what is good for Country is none of
your business.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now
it was the turn of the learned, intelligent and emotional, humanitarian Buddy Noora to inform
about the roll out of the future HR Programs of SPCL. “I fully concur with Reno...
I should say that it was a bold and great Aasoulian logic to covey the simple
underlying philosophy of the Corporate World in general and Oil Sector in particular. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“We
emphatically intend to start a centre of learning on the abstract
subject of ‘Aasoulian Intelligence’ so that other Corporate, especially Oil
Companies, world wide are also benefitted. I am going to have detailed discussion
with Reno how to develop the subject of Aasoulian Intelligence for which we
will soon begin with a project tentatively named APE. We are also going to fund
for research in this pioneering field with the premier Management Institutes
of the World.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Regarding
Bapu, we are going to serve him a Charge Sheet against ‘Insubordination and unauthorized
absenteeism’ tomorrow itself through Reno. As far as his three indisciplined
friends Tej, Kola and Vira are concerned, we are only transferring them to NE, North Zone and
South Zone far away from their residences as per the Section 17.6.1 of the Transfer
Policy according to which a transfer can take place any time any where at the
discretion of the Management of SPCL.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We
have issued them warning letters. They have accepted their grave mistake of
being Bapu’s friend. They have also given in writing that they will never be
associated with the ‘traitor’ in future. That’s all from HR point of view.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Satak
hinted all Officers to leave. Now only the bosses, Satak, Reno and lowly learned, <span style="font-size: large;">certificates accumulator, rain coat wearing, to<span style="font-size: large;">bacco</span></span> chewing, <span style="font-size: large;">Machiavellian</span> <span style="font-size: large;">Bean Counter</span> cum HR Officer Pujya Doshi were left.
There were a few File notes to be signed for the betterment of the Corporation
and the Country. They all signed merrily on the File Notes to pile notes…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Topi
called from Hotel and informed Satak that he had taken care of the journalists
and that he had arranged an action packed ‘Spiritual’ party at Bhogi’s Bar in
the evening inviting the Journos also so as to ensure that SPCL does not earn
negative publicity. Satak Pal Sen began to pirouette.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As Topi was not around, so Reno shouted religiously- Jai Maata di!! The
bosses had a hearty laughter …!!!</span></div>

<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Within
a month of operation<span style="font-size: large;"></span> of TPC ( Tapri Petroleum Company), Suren Chor had earned a
second hand tank-truck from Topi Pissoo, the President of Nachpur District Tank
Truck Owners-Drivers- Cleaners Association. Suren Chor was made the Secretary
of the association and Mangu Mapia was designated Treasurer. Changu was no
where in the reckoning.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Mangu
Mapia had already started collecting Rs 20=00
from every Tank Truck driver for every trip made in any of the Depots;
in his holy bid to protect their birthright to cut the petroleum products from
all the tank trucks and Depots. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">By
now, Changu had started feeling left out by Suren Chor and Mangu Mapia. Chabi, a philosopher and also Pissoo’s driver
was getting closer and closer to Changu. Chabi wanted to remain a Tank Truck
driver for ever but Pissoo promoted him as a Car driver considering Chabi’s
intellect. Chabi wanted money, not status. Thus, Chabi’s plan to become rich quick
was shattered brutally by Pissoo. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
Association painted the whole Tapri red in honor of CMD and Directors. All
association members were neatly clad in new white Kurta Pajama purchased by themselves.
Gandhi Topis (Caps) were provided by Topi Pissoo, obviously! They had also
constructed a stage just outside LPG Plant to felicitate the SPCL bosses
gratefully; for having facilitated them to cut the products from Depots with impunity
despite Bapu’s written complaints. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Since
morning, the loud speaker had started playing patriotic songs at full volume.
Topi, the patron, was humming constantly- ‘Mile Sur Mera Tumhara’. Suren Chor
was singing most patriotically- ‘Mere desh ki Dharti ugle Petrol Diesel...’. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Mangu
Mapia was high on Bhang (Cannabis sativa) and was playing ‘holi’ with himself
and the Drivers / cleaners since morning. He did not stop dancing and singing for
Suren Chor even for a moment. It was like a cosmic dance by a comic dunce for a
chronic dense; savored by all.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">At
the same time, Changu started moving surreptitiously towards Chandpur; the
other end being Nachpur. He had a five liter Oil can in his hand, when he was
last seen.</span><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Caravan
of 15 cars, carrying three bosses, reached Tapri at 11.30 A.M as they got
delayed because of salutation at every Petrol Pump enroute. Suren Chor and
Mangu Mapia presented a memorandum about the problems created by Bapu and his
three friends in the name of Safety for not only the LPG plant’s Tank Truck
drivers but also for the Petrol/Diesel drivers working in the adjacent Oil Depot.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Topi
also submitted a memo regarding his long pending bills against several
constructions in LPG Plant not cleared by Bapu; despite clear instructions
given by Reno and Satak. Shekhar Raj and humanitarian buddy Noora, on behalf of Khajulal, assured
Topi that such indiscipline will not be tolerated.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As
the bosses were about to enter into the Plant; there was a huge explosion just
outside LPG plant at Chandpur end. Consequently, the dry grass out side the
Plant caught fire and the flames reached up to the height of fifty feet. The
flames continued to erupt threatening to enter into the LPG Plant and Depots.
There was utter pandemonium on the stage. Wooden stage, constructed by Topi at
the cost of SPCL, collapsed and all hell broke loose. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Mami
and Butterfly, not on the stage, rushed to Bandhu’s dhaba. Suren Chor and Mangu
Mapia ran in the direction of Chandpur, in search of Changu.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Except
Chabi, all drivers of Tank Trucks and 15 cars ran in the direction towards
Nachpur. Chabi seemed to be mentally prepared for the accident. He was standing
just near his car. He hopped into the car hurriedly and began to honk the horn hard
and hysterically to help holy honchos reach at hotel hastily. Topi and the
bosses heroically got up on their feet and got themselves deposited in the
Ambassador Car. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Heavy-weights
gone, Satak Pal Sen started running from one end of the main gate of 50 ft length to the other end
without entering into the Plant. Throughout he was shouting – Fire! Fire!!
Fire!!! Reno was following Satak inch by inch and decibel by decibel. This
continued for ten minutes though the fire got extinguished on its own within 7
-8 minutes.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Chabi
dropped them into the Hotel in Nachpur -15 Kms away from Tapri. A message for
them was awaiting- The fire had already been extinguished. The Manager of the
Hotel informed them that two journalists were also waiting for them to enquire
about some fire in Tapri. Humanitarian Noora, the more intelligent among them, realizing the
problem, dropped Topi at the Hotel to sort out the journo and ordered Chabi to
immediately rush back to Tapri....</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Bapu
was still in Hospital, though out of danger now. He had also been invited for
the Party. But Bapu, the ‘arrogant traitor’, chose comforts of the hospital to
the ‘spiritual’ luxury of Bhogi Bar! In SPCL, all Parties involving “Spirits
and Salsa" by Sirens used to be called ‘Spiritual Parties’. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As
per the procedures of SPCL, he should have informed the bosses in writing about
his inability to attend the meeting. As such, the Party at Bhogi Bar was an
Official Review Meet of all Officers (around 50) of SPCL Tapri Complex! Satak
and Reno were thrilled that Bapu could now be easily served a Charge Sheet
against ‘Insubordination and unauthorized absenteeism’ for not attending the Party/meeting!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tired
but gratified bosses after the action-packed night at Bhogi Bar spent the next
day shopping, discussing about Shanno et al; and attending the all important
Topison’s marriage. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Meanwhile,
Satak and Reno were in Office preparing for the meeting to take place the
very next day where the only item in the agenda was: the enemy no.1 of SPCL-
Bapurao alias Bapu. Satak was hysterical as usual and was shouting –“Bapu is a
stupid and frustrated fellow! Boss is always right, Boss is always right…” </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Reno
20 W 45 eagerly bowed down by 45 degrees and pleaded Satak to just calm down. And
then to please his boss<span style="font-size: large;"> Satak</span>, Reno magically brandished Bapu’s bright orange diary; which was stolen the
previous night from Bapu’s flat by Team Techno Tandi under the able guidance of
Miss Butterfly Reno 20 W 45.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Satak
really calmed down and even smiled seeing the diary. Now he could read Bapu’s
mind! They started reading a short article written by Bapu in his diary with a heading ‘Scam-ayani’. Bapu
had referred in the article: Satak as Scam-Dev, Mami as Scam-ayani, Reno as
Scam-Putra, Butterfly as Scam-ya, Shekhar Raj as Scum –Dev, , File Notes as
Scam-Sutra, official meetings as Scam-Kreeda and other bosses variously as
Scamsters, scammers, scamps, scam -uck
etc on the lines of Hindi words Kamdev, Kamsutra, Kamayani,Kamuk etc.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After
reading the article, Satak, yet again went berserk. ‘Satak Satak gaya’ so to
say in Hindi. He started scam-pering in his room frantically. So, now, Reno too
had to scam-per incessantly; following his boss bit by bit. Within no time
Satak was shouting in stentorian tones: –“Bapu is stupid …! Boss is always
right…”.This time Reno just could not come to grips with Satak so he had to dash
away calling out Mami. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Mami
entered into the room and Satak into tranquility. Reno preferred to spend rest
of the day in his flat with Butterfly. Satak kept on shouting at regular
interval and Mami continued to sedate him in her own Scam-ayani manner.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Late
in the night Satak and Reno attended the marriage. But here too, after seeing
Bapu’s three friends, Satak went crackers. Every time he saw those three, he became
frenzied and started shouting. Shekhar Raj would just lift his right hand and
Satak will go noiseless. The game went on till the dinner was over.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After
the dinner, when all the guests, lesser Officers of SPCL and even the Topi’s family
members had gone; Topi Pissoo and the drunken <i><b><span style="font-size: large;">G</span>rand Ambassadors</b></i> of SPCL
gathered around the pool. CMD Khajulal was continuing to drink Bloody Mary and
eat Kaju (Cashew nuts) well one hour after the dinner. By now, his mouth was looking
like famous ugly grease Plant of SPCL in a coastal town.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Out of the blue,
Khajulal jumped in the pool and started swimming fully dressed without stopping
to eat Kaju. All others followed the action without wasting even seconds. Topi
Pissoo Mehta Shouted devotedly: “Jai Maata Di!”. The whole swimming pool
erupted faithfully and unfailingly: “Jai Me’ta di”.</span></div>

( Continued from the previous Article <a href="http://pankaj-khanna.blogspot.in/2013/02/2b-external-oil-mafia.html">Internal and External Oil Mafia.</a> )<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Satak,
the Chief Manager, and Reno the Senior Manager were eternally grateful blokes. Appreciating
Topi’s services, they decided to have yet another massive Overhead tank constructed
by 'Topi Pissoo Mehta’ the Contractor. Approval to construct the tank on single
quotation basis was not a problem. SPCL had a beautiful, dutiful system
of generating ‘File Notes’ so as to ‘pile notes’ with impunity. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A
blank ‘File Note’ is a thick
sheet with several dotted lines on which thick-s<span style="font-size: large;">kinned </span>bosses sign to hilariously justify some
utterly unjustifiable actions like: out of turn promotions/transfers, placement
of Orders on single quotation basis on exorbitantly higher rates, enhancement of Kerosene Quota in cities where
no body uses kerosene, reconstitution/resitement/appointment/termination of
dealerships , writing off huge stock losses/bad debts in hundreds of Crores,
relaxation in payment terms for big industrial houses including famed Airlines, sending chosen Officers
to Europe for training in LPG Operations in India, reimbursement of air travel /
hotel expenses of Ministry Officials, purchase of expensive gifts for various Govt.
Agencies<span style="font-size: large;"> </span>etc etc…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Topi
sponsored bosses’ air travel and the five star hotel stay in Nachpur, the
district headquarters of Tapri village. (Bosses got the bills reimbursed from
SPCL also and pocketed the money matter of factly, without evincing any trace of eructation...) Topi
arranged a lavish party in bosses’ favorite and an exclusive nude Cabaret Joint-
Bhogi Bar-pride of Nachpur District, frequented by Politicians, Govt. Servants and
desi Oil magnates.</span><br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
file note to construct the Overhead tank was originated by Reno, recommended by
Satak and handed over to Topi for taking the approval from the bosses. Topi
gave the File Note to Shanno, the star performer of Bhogi Bar and darling of
the bosses. Shanno, Julie, Gulbadan and many others arrived, performed and
pleased the bosses as planned by Topi, Satak and Reno. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Shanno, the ecdysiast,<b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"></span></b> finally showed her designer ‘latke-jhatke’; covering her coveted body with </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">only </span>a 'file
note'. Accustomed to these desi Oil Magnates, she too knew how to pile currency notes
from file notes. She ensured that nobody touched her before signing on the File
Note. The bosses sitting in the innermost ring appreciated the game of ‘paper
strip’ teasing .They first stylishly threw the notes, sponsored by Topi, on
Shanno. Then, they attacked on the file note granting their approvals hurriedly
without looking at the body of the File Note. But, the other body in question did
not escape their probing eyes & hands…</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Satak,
Reno and Topi, sitting in the middle ring were harmoniously singing just
released the then Doordarshan Hit, “Mile Sur Mera Tumhara …” to the every step
taken by Shanno, Julie and Gulbadan.</span><br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
knowledgeable audience of SPCL Officers sitting on the periphery appreciated
Topi Pissoo Mehta by singing: ‘Jai Mehta
Di, Jai Mehta Di!’. As the chorus gained momentum, Shanno and other dancers
started enchanting the bosses with their plastic love. Excited and ecstatic bosses
also started chanting sacredly in mesmerized tones: ‘Jai Mehta di, Jai Me’ta di!’. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Mighty
thrilled Topi thanked his stars and roared most religiously, as was his wont:
“Jai Mata di!”. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The SPCL community reverberated heartily: “Jai Me’ta di!”.</span></div>

(Continued from the First Article <a href="http://pankaj-khanna.blogspot.in/2011/12/promotion-policy.html">Promotion Promotion</a>!)<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Tapri
village, made famous for heat and lust by apolaustic Reno and </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">callipygian<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span>Butterfly, had three Oil companies:
SPCL- Superior Petroleum Corp. Ltd, GPCL-Glorious Petroleum… and NPCL-National
Petroleum. Mami, Tandi and <i> </i>Butterfly were Contractor /Transporter Topi Pissoo’s
employees. Mami and Topi Pissoo had worked in all three Companies since the
time the companies were owned by the Americans and the British.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Many
Taprians, like most Indians, were incurably attracted towards white skinned women.
Butterfly was the White legacy of the past. But nobody knew about the type of
legacy- Superior, Glorious or National?
Mami never revealed who he was - A British or an American. Officially Butterfly
was owned by Reno, whatever Tandi may be claiming boastfully about his passionate
triumphs.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Bapu
and his friends used to play Gilli Danda, oblivious to Tapri, with local youth
just outside LPG Plant in an open field on Sundays. On such a Sunday morning,
Reno and Butterfly were serenely enjoying rain dance in the thick green belt,
beneath the perpetually leaking overhead tank constructed by Topi Pissoo.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">At
the same time, beguiling Mami went on a
Special duty, ‘on SPCL duty’ , for two days
and one night to a nearby City with crapulou<span style="font-size: large;">s </span>Satak Pal Sen, Chief Plant Manager, in a
white ambassador sponsored by Topi Pissoo; who had got all his Tank-Trucks/Jeeps/Cars
painted with the caption ‘On SPCL duty’.
The moment the ambassador car, carrying the <i><b>Grand Ambassadors</b></i> of SPCL, left
Civilization behind; Satak and Mami also left the garb of civilities behind.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Chabi,
a philosopher and the driver, was now wide awake to record the proceedings. Satak
noted after some time that Chabi was ogling at them through the rear mirror.
Satak went berserk. He spat tobacco and spouted ‘C’ rated English abuses learnt
from his Phirangi bosses through his
serrated teeth in a spectacular style that could be bettered
successfully only by Reno. Of course
Reno deserved to be promoted, Chabi pondered while tilting the mirror, now concentrating
only on the sounds…</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">While
‘on SPCL duty’; Mami did not have any job in the day time in that City. So she
decided to meet the legendary Suren Chor, her first cousin and No. 1 Pick-pocket of the region. Fortunately, Suren Chor was neither on ‘tour’
nor in ‘Sarkari Guest House’. Mami explained about the abundance of Oil in Tapri,
her connections with Satak / Topi Pissoo and Butterfly’s connection with Reno. Aging
Suren Chor liked it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Mami
returned home with Satak. Suren Chor followed the very next day with two of his
brightest disciples Changu and Mangu. All three of them were now ‘on SPCL
duty’.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Suren
Chor took the blessings from Darogaji (Police Inspector- Tapri) and Topi Pissoo.
Changu and Mangu started learning fast from Techno Tandi about Petroleum
products. Within a month Suren Chor established his business outside the Depots
and LPG Plant. He just organized all 10 to 15 small operators under one
umbrella-Tapri Petroleum Company-the TPC.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Changu
was in charge of the Railway Siding behind the Depots / LPG Plant from where
his team used to ‘cut’ the products from Pipelines and Railway wagons. Mangu
was responsible to ‘cut’ products from tankers of all the Oil companies leaving
the Depots situated in a row on a Highway. The drivers of the tankers were thrilled;
their ‘cut’ was sold right in front of the Depots!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Suren
Chor first opened his Office and Sales Counter behind Bandhu’s dhaba .The sales
zoomed beyond expectations due to the price differential and Suren Chor’s
marketing skills. He opened another Outlet, on the eve of Republic day, just in
front of LPG Plant’s Officers Residential Complex on the Highway. Within a
month, daily Sales Volume of TPC reached 4000 litres of various Products.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Bapu,
the Safety Engineer, was the only person who had problems with this arrangement
in front of his flat. He could see the empty and filled oil cans of various
sizes in different colors swaying to and fro for the whole day. Bapu complained
to Reno and Satak. They scolded him to mind his own business. He complained to
the Depot Managers <span style="font-size: large;">of all oil companies</span><b><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></b>too. But they refused to do any thing as the illegal
activities, according to them, were taking place outside their respective Depots.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After
a few weeks, he wrote letters to SPCL HQO. Sent several reminders. No body responded.
Dejected, he approached Darogaji to lodge an FIR. Darogaji refused to accept
the complaint as it was not signed by Depot Manager or Chief Plant Manager.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Furious
Darogaji informed Satak about the audacity of Bapu to contact him. Contumelious Satak
fulminated hysterically,” Boss is always right, Boss is always right, Boss is
always right…”.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Coming to senses at last, he called Reno and explained to him
about the scandal- an Officer going against the wishes of Satak! Reno was devastated,
such a betrayal by his own subordinate! Tandi, Mami and Butterfly were
summoned. Satak winked at Mami. Mami left the room like a ghost and reached
Bandhu’s Dhaba. Suren Chor called Mangu. Mangu executed the plan perfectly.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Several
bones in legs, hands, face and ribs broken; Bapu was rushed to a hospital in a very
critical state by compassionate Reno and others. The news spread like today’s
Kolaveri D. Khajulal, CMD-SPCL, <span style="font-size: large;">humanitarian </span>Buddy Noora- Director Personal, Shekhar Raj-
Director Marketing all came to know about the incidence. Emotional Buddy Noora
directly instructed Satak to ensure that
Bapu survives.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">( Bapu used to <span style="font-size: large;">ask his friends if vegetarians eat vegetab<span style="font-size: large;">les, what does a humanitarian eat!?)</span></span></span> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Buddy
Noora, the humanitarian thought, it was a big crisis for SPCL. An Officer showing disrespect to
all important Hierarchy. It was a Corporate blasphemy not to worship the
bosses. An Officer trying to lodge an FIR! It was a severe crime of
insubordination and bringing the good name of great SPCL to disrepute. Such an
Officer had to be taught a lesson so that no Officer could ever dare to take
such negative actions in future. Bapu had to be charge-sheeted for others to
see. So Bapu had to survive first.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Suren
Chor, his team, drivers, transporters and many others celebrated the victory.
Mangu was hailed as the much needed ‘Mafia’ for the community. Now he was known
as Mangu ‘Mapia’. The Sales of TPC jumped to 7000 litres per day after Mangu Mapia’s
great strike.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Satak
instructed Reno to prepare a cyclostyled letter to all employees of SPCL about
the great betrayal by Bapu. Reno complied and letters to all 9000 employees in
the Country were sent the very next day.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Khajulal,
Buddy Noora, Shekhar Raj and all other big shots decided to have a meeting at
Tapri the very next week to correct the situation. In any case they had to
attend Topi Pissoo’s son’s marriage. Now they had an excuse to visit Tapri
together. Topi Pissoo was delighted!</span><br />

<div align="justify">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In late eighties, Reno , a Manager of a Government Oil Company, and four other Officers though quite senior to Reno but not promoted as ‘Managers’; used to stay in Flats in an LPG Plant in Central India. Reno was official ‘expert’ in ‘LPG’ though he was very new to it having just been transferred and promoted from a POL (Petroleum Oil Lubricants) Depot from North India. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">While the four <span style="font-size: large;">bachelors </span>stayed without their families; Reno , the most eligible bachelor preferred to stay with a local beauty better known as ‘Butterfly’. Butterfly was actually Mami’s daughter. Like her mother, Butterfly too had a penchant for local hooch known as Santra. And, you know, Mami was attached to the Chief Plant Manager Satak Pal Sen who was an ardent admirer of Mami and Santra both. So, Reno had the official and moral duty to follow his boss in letter and ‘spirit’.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Reno’s favorite hobby, when he was not in the company of Butterfly, was to train the ‘useless, rigid and stagnated’ Officers like Bapurao and his three friends on LPG and other subjects he had mastered through his journey towards this exalted Managerial stardom yet to be achieved by his seniors, now his ‘boys’.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">During one of those alcoholic binges, when his house-hold items were done topsy-turvy in absence of his Butterfly, by a few inebriated elements; one ‘useless, rigid and stagnated’ Officer serendipitously discovered and exclaimed that Reno had a magnificent ass whose cheeks weighed 20 kg each. The ass used to bend smoothly by 45 degree angle immediately after seeing Reno’s boss. Reno came to be known as Reno 20W45. (20W40, 15W50 etc. are suffixes used in the nomenclature of Lubricants by the Oil Companies.)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">One fine morning LPG leaked profusely and blissfully from Knock-Out Drums of the LPG Plant unto a sparking boiler resulting into a sparkling fire covering even a dome (a Storage Vessel in the shape of Sphere containing LPG).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And when the dome was burning Reno was fondling…</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Butterfly heard the loud noise resulting due to huge fire, saw the flames from Reno’s Flat, extricated herself as neatly as she could and started running out of Plant barefoot. Reno gathered his wits and her sandals. Then followed her. The leak was arrested by the ‘useless and rigid’ boys and the fire got extinguished on its own.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Miraculously, the domes were saved...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Chief Plant Manager Satak Pal Sen reached Plant after one hour. Mami and the daughter disappeared into Bandhu’s dhaba outside the LPG Plant but Reno appeared majestically from somewhere and began to follow him. The inspection went on for 22 minutes and 35 seconds as noted by factotum Tandi, Reno’s attendant and Butterfly’s true lover. There was eerie silence as everybody was struck by the enormity of the situation. Reno’s mind worked overtime before he broke the silence and donated his precious expert views, “Sir, I feel LPG leaked from somewhere.” Wisdom dawned upon everyone and Reno the raconteur explained how bravely he fought the fire.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The useless, rigid and stagnated Officers muttered in unison, “Aasoul!!!”. Reno heard it but magnanimously condoned them for being jealous of his success.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Chief Plant Manager </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Satak Pal Sen </span>submitted a report to HQO emphasizing that only a small fire broke out in dry grass as a careless Oil Tanker driver passing through adjacent POL Depot approach road threw a live cigarette in Plant Premises. HQO cautioned the Depot Manager and Depot Officers to be careful in future to avoid recurrence of such incidents and commended Reno 20 W 45 for his timely action and exemplary courage. In the following DPC (Departmental Promotion Committee) meeting Reno 20 W 45 was promoted, out of turn, as Senior Plant Manager.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">(Today Reno is an all knowing ,tobacco chewing ,mighty Executive Director of the same Oil Company… <a href="http://pankaj-khanna.blogspot.in/2013/02/internal-oil-mafia.html">Click here for the Second Part Internal Oil Mafia . )</a></span></div>
