Nalluswamy was mildly thrilled to find himself dig out a fact sitting in CM's office that Monday morning.He realised that it would be more than a fact even to his immediate boss.Thankfully it was not CM to the city where he belonged.He carefully analysed all the supporting evidence of his discovery to confirm his finding.Yes,he was just right.His finding was a fact that money collected from a certain insignificant source which was supposed to be deposited in the CM's Relief Fund promptly wasn't reaching the fund from the time CM took position in his territory.The sum was 77,000,00 INR.It wasn't a small money atleast to common man like Nallu.
Nallu was a man in mid fifties who worked for the governmentof india.It was a matter of great pride to him.More so was his nature of work.He was in a decent designation few steps below the top notches in his office, who enjoyed the power & responsibility to identify & unearth the invisible revenue to be falling in to the Indian Govt's pocket from every potentially possible source in his country.Just that it happened to be a CM's office this week.
By the time Nallu decided to take this to his Boss's notice it was noon hours after a scrumptious lunch arranged by the CM's folks.He thought to himself that his drive to the union territory from his Chennai home that early morning was fruitful in someway.So he didn't mind his insomniacs & extra body pain at that age.He rang his boss who was positioned in their head quarters office in Chennai keeping in mind the political battle they might have to face later.
Boss-Tell me Nallu,howz it going there.Did U & ur team have lunch ?
Nallu-Yes sir,things have been fine.There is a finding here on Day1 itself.
Boss- Mmm...looks like you made a big catch there which might invite us some trouble.
Nallu- In a way ur guess is right sir.
Boss- Nallu let ur effort not go waste.Make an entry in our record,inform them as well.Dig for more & get back to office this friday with all ur findings.Let me pull in our Big boss by then.
Nallu- Alright sir.
Nallu disconnected the phone & got back to more action along with his team mates.Folks at CM's office are no less in sniffing things out.By end of day 3,CM's folks had devised their mitigation plan.So they seemed to be super cool.In spite of their loyalty & proving their worth to their parent org time & again,Nallu & team weren't so cheerful this time.But they did their job as ever.
By Thursday,all entries were recorded,report sent to head quarters.A copy of it left with the concerned officials at CM's office as well.Nallu & team wound up their work & headed back home the same evening after a pleading session by the officials at CM's office to drop their findings reach the head quarters.This wasn't new neither to Nallu nor to his team mates.They undergo this pleading session at almost every empire where they dig out some unpleasant facts worth huge sums.But this really wasn't,Nallu said to himself.
Nallu wasn't enjoying a great health at his age.So was more than pleased to spend first half of the next day at his home sipping his self made health drink watching his favourite NDTV Profit channel.At around 12 noon,his boss rang him up to inform about his inevitable presence at a confidential meeting at 3.30 pm at the head quarter office.He obliged to his Boss's words and decide to make his presence felt at the meeting.
All that Nallu could make out was, literally over a single cup of coffee with his Boss & Big Boss hardly for an hour,2 high ranked officials who had flown from CM's office at the union territory to chennai,helped drop the findings of Mr Nallu & his team.In reality Nallu's presence did not matter to anyone there.Neither did his finding.Nallu was a pragmatic man after all.So it wasn't any shock or something to him.Infact he takes ample learning from situations like these.To update him on the case,he enquired his boss later that night as what was their point across table to drop this finding since a sum of 77,000,00 shouldn't have been a big amount to be paid back by the CM's office, in Nallu's point of view.
Oh yes,his boss cheered him up saying 'Nallu it wasn't the money which was the cause of concern here.But the CM's image.A case like this might show him on the bad light & he cannot afford to tamper with his image at this point when he is already in position in his office.So me & our Big Boss were requested by them on be-half of the CM itself.So Nallu we couldn't do much on this.I was just reading that lands around CM's office are available at rates much affordable by me.In case tomorrow either me or you happen to buy some plots there, registration and other formalities can be done without much hassel Nallu.Lemme know if u have any such plans'.
Nallu now dropped the call muttering 'A lot can happen over a cup of coffee'.

Nallu reached office sharp by 3.30 pm & realised that the so called confidential meeting was already in progress without his inevitable presence.So he decided to wait until he was called.Finally at around 4.30pm his immediate Boss slipped out of the enclosure to look for his presence if any.When he spotted Nallu,he invited him in.
