Let us atleast behave as a diplomat
When I was young, there was an uncle Mr. Bajaj who used to own a bungalow not less than 50 lakh bucks 15 years back. A very rich and generous person (as it seems) helping other even though they might not even require his help. What a man, I used to embrace him ( kya karoon choti budhi tha). Always ,as Barney say, suit up in a very long AC car. He was really rich man I must say.
I also vaguely remember Mr. Agarwal, tall, dark with spectacles and long nose. He was kind of big business man. Not as rich as Bajaj but still owns lot of wealth. There were not less than hundred shops of Mr. Agarwal although Bajaj owns nearly fifty big showrooms. Mr. Agarwal was very authoritative kind of person, may be kind of always worried how he can earn more money but never compromise of his stand. Whatever stand he took, he abide by that, unlike Bajaj who had meager principles.
And here was my family, which earned decent starting to make image in the society. We earned quite decent, but there were lot of problems we used to face if we don't keep tight check. But still now people had started to recognize us. There was still a long way to go in order to be like Agarwal or Bajaj but still even they know us and acknowledge us in the part of the society.
Similar to us (like three of us) there were several other homes. There were although some very poor peasants home who live in abject poverty.
Our society was facing a dire situation of electricity. There was a lot of wastage by all of us, (esp three of us). When there was abundant and we were not aware this situation will ever arise Bajaj used to waste lot of electricity. Due to his extravagant nature things becomes worse slowly. Then Agarwal, when his status began to rise with more no. of shops, started wasting lot of electricity. Slowly he overtook Bajaj, and he became the most wasteful family. Although if we consider the history Bajaj would still be on top with very huge margin. We also, after gaining status in society, became kind of extravagant in wasting the energy.
So everyone after realizing where we are heading arranged a meet, and for the first time in the life there was an invitation to peasants family. Although I was sure they won't be having a big say in this, but still Bajaj (kind of head of meet) invited them also.
Everyone was really active in getting the electricity problem solve ASAP. Everyone was there, as my family was gaining a good reputation in society and we were also very happy seeing the situation became really exuberant and announced we will make the max cut usage, although I was sure this going to give a big blow in our progress and our dream of being Bajaj will be in big dismay.
But still we have to show others and esp Bajaj that we are serious although ramification may screw us.
Then there was Mr. Agarwal quite adamant, intelligent and shrews agreed to lower the usage. But when Bajaj asked (who himself was not sure of commitment) began questioning the stand of Agarwal. Bajaj said he will constantly monitor it with new technology so that Agarwal abide by his commitment. Agarwal infuriated with infringement began questioning Bajaj stand on usage and how much he will cut the usage. People like him are responsible for this meet and instead of realizing their mistake they still act in bossy way. Agarwal said a big NO for monitoring. Bajaj was ready to pay in cash to everyone (now even Peasant are in picture) for his earlier mistake and was ready to make the cut ( all in air and nothing in written beacuse his family has said BIG NO for any cut). But in order to be Peace Maker as though he had won NOBLE PRIZE FOR PEACE, said lot of things in air but in return was wishing to have commitment from Agarwal.
There was a deadlock, it could be Three Sannin (Naruto) deadlock but thanks to subservient nature I commited already and was ready to flow in any direction without having any stand of our own.
I don't know how things will sort out may be I have to wait couple of more days and know What are the final stands of USA and China in World Climate Summit in Copenhagen and then I may be able to complete the story.
A footnote, a small scale meeting of this kind had already been done and in that Mr. Bajaj jumped, made other families in society to commit in lot of issues, but when his turn came he turned away raising the 'criticized finger of Guru Greg'.
