My bathroom pipe burst today, terrible situation, plumbers worked whole day and many households in our apartment did not have water for quite sometime. To make matters worse, there are critical issues in my project and important calls. So worked from home today.
So here I am in shorts and baniyan, with my laptop and headphones, the plumber bugging me at one end, a person from the client side and a senior manager in a call with me.
(The plumber is hammering away to glory!)
Client: Where is that terrible noise coming from Shatadip? Are you at some quarry or something?
Me: Sorry some plumbing work is going on at my house...so this critical functionality is not working and hence we need an emergency change.
Plumber: Saab pipe phat gaya hai, watchman ko boliye main band kare.
SM: There is a lot of background noise, someone is speaking. Ok so what is root cause of all this.
Me: Ok the root cause is...
Plumber: Saab pipe phat gaya hai..
Me: Arre ruk to jao yaar...
SM: Excuse me??
Me: Sorry can you give me two minutes please(I go on mute).
Me: (To plumber) Bolo na yaar watchman ko main band karne, main call mein hoon.
Plumber: Saab yeh kaan mein lagakar kya karte rahte ho aap log?
Me: Bhai gaana sun raha hoon, tum jaakar bolo watchman ko.
Plumber: Do min gaana pause karke bol do na aap.
Me: Yeh gaana band kiya to naukri chalee jaegee bhai, please yaar...
Me: (Unmute) Ok I am back...
Manager: We were on the emergency change.
Me: Ok so I was saying the root cause of this is...
Plumber: Watchman hamaree baat nahin sunta, saab pipe phata hai poora paani bah jaega!
Me: (Gesturing him to be quiet) The root cause is...the pipe has burst!
Client and SM (together): What?
Me: Sorry sorry, blah blah blah...
Finally Dada helped and the pipe was repaired and thankfully the office issue was also addressed.
Haha...but what a day!
