Full Freedom!

Mobbed for an accountant's job

What could not be done for a year was achieved miraculously by Arora’s pep talk yesterday (see post). In ‘liberating’ everybody from all disciplinary conditions of Big Laaf, his reverse psychology had worked, so much so that we were witness to an unprecedented near-100 per cent compliance this morning – Geeta Sardhana being the sole uncapped exception among the 23 who reported for the exercises.
Nearly all of them had turned up on time. Not a single member was seen roaming around the walking track once the exercises had started. Even Mumtaz Jahan, who is known to be quite a rebel, rushed in to take her position in the circle the moment the laughter session began. Many could not help commenting that too much of freedom can be difficult to handle at times. “Unless you are really thick skinned, you will eventually fall in line with the rest,” observed Arun Patil.
But this was not out of any fear. The chatterboxes remained unstoppable, Nahid Khan merrily sang “Hawa mein udhta jaye, mera lal dupatta malmal…”, Mumtaz delivered a sermon on how her cervical spondilysis was cured by rotating the neck… and when Arora tried to correct her once, she snapped back, “Meri marzi!” This was soon to become the common refrain every time someone was caught on the wrong foot. After all, no rules apply from today.
Incidentally, Ved Prakash Grover has a job offer going, for which he was soliciting applications. He was instantly mobbed -- just for kicks. But should anyone be genuinely interested, please call 98330 94254/ 2639 7689 for details.
