Boom - Vol. 1

Boom - A situation for you to think about.

He wanted to get her flowers that evening but was too tired to even park his car and step out. He just wanted to go home and sleep. He loved her. But he felt lazy. The laziness was in the mind. Parking the car and taking that effort would not kill him. Had he implemented what he thought, he would have been a different person to her.

Boom.

There are three people in this mini story. Abraham, Kevin and Brenda. Abraham works as a Purchase Manager for Perfect Sanitary Ware, a sanitary ware manufacturing company. The company manufactures shower heads, restroom seats, flushing systems etc. One of the main components used in the manufacture is PVC pipes. Brenda is a Sales Manager at Plastick Industries and regularly supplies PVC pipes to Abraham's company. Abraham and Brenda have become great friends over the years. Now, Abraham goes on leave and Kevin, who has been handling Logistics since four years has been given the responsibility of filling in on Abraham's role. Kevin meets Brenda for an appointment over lunch and shows openly that he was only interested in a certain category of offerings from Brenda. He even negotiates and upscales the purchase to meet his gratification. Brenda is disgusted. She supplies cheap quality PVC pipes to Kevin on the next day and reports the matter regarding Kevin to the board of directors of Perfect Sanitaryware. This becomes a corporate scandal on the grapevine but is kept away from the media. In a futile statement to defend himself, Kevin states that Abraham had prompted to him that such tactics can be used for personal sexual benefit. To avoid infamy, the company sacks Abraham too, without giving him a chance to defend himself.
