Mohan : Hello Ragu, Good Morning. How are you?
Ragu : Fine. O.K. Has our Boss come?
Mohan : Yes. Yes he has come earlier today.
Ragu : Did he ask anything about me? I missed the bus, hence late.
Mohan : Yes. He asked if you had not come also asked me to tell you to meet him.
Ragu : Alright friend, what about Vasanthi? Her sear is vacant.
Mohan : She has gone to the accounts section.
Ragu : What for?
Mohan : To see whether she is eligible for House loan.
Ragu : Poor woman she is suffering like anything. Why?
Mohan : She ought not to have had such a huge family.
Ragu : Has she not undergone family planning?
Mohan : My meaning is not that. She has her sister’s children to support with.
Ragu : How are you?
Mohan : Fine thank you. But I am not peaceful nowadays.
Ragu : Why haven’t you found out a way to escape from paying the interest?
Mohan : No. The lenders are not soft hearted.
Ragu : It is a pity that our colleagues themselves do not have such tendency.
Mohan : Neither we should lend nor we should borrow.
Ragu : But we can help them at times without interest.
Mohan : That is right. We must prove “Friend in need is a friend indeed".
Ragu : What man where had you been?
Mohan : I am coming from Boss’s room.
Ragu : What is our Boss doing now?
Mohan : He is talking with the manager.
Ragu : Yes. Sir, they are also giving gifts to the workers.
Mohan : Though our Boss is strict, he is very kind.
Ragu : That is why there is no labour problem in our company.
Mohan : That is why the business is flourishing.
Ragu : Yes. There is no delay on export clearance too.
Mohan : Don’t you know that our Boss was also once a worker.
Ragu : Hence he knows well, the agonies and anxieties of the workers.
Mohan : Let God give him long life. Bye.
