- “The activities are starting at 0630 PM. The time now is 0600 PM. The Supplies have not yet come!”
- "Sir! We are on the way and we try come in time!”
- “Your people should have been here by 0600 PM itself. They are saying that they are on the way. By chance they get delayed on the way?"
- “Sir! No problem.. I'm coming there at 0615 PM itself and I follow up with my men!"
- ”Where are you?”
- “Sir! we are on the way and we'll be there only by 0645 PM!"
- “Ok.. Try your best to come early.. The Customer is already angry!"
- “Can all of you reach there by 0645 PM?”
- “That is very easy, Sir! In fact, I'll be reaching 15 mts earlier as I'm ahead in traffic!"
- “OK.. Be there at 0645 PM but tell the people there that you were waiting since 0615 PM and your men came there exactly at 0630 PM as per the Customer's wish!”
- "Is everything OK?”
- “Good! Actually the activities start at 0730 PM but I just brought you in advance saying that it starts at 0630 PM!”
- "Dear! How could you manage all this with such an open lie?"
- "I saw the Customer going in front of our Office at 0600 PM in his vehicle. To reach his home, he takes 1hr min and that way he would be at home not earlier than 0700 PM. Without him the activities can't start. I estimated this and quickly told my folks to say that they were there in time. When the Customer reached at 0700 PM my people were already there, of course from 0630 PM and 0645 PM only..
I agree that there were many 'ifs' and 'buts' in this entire drama but I just took the calculated risk as there was almost no go there and luckily it clicked!”
