Ganesh

Now, Ganesh is no Indian movie star nor a hip hop or a rapper. He is in fact our Account Clerk. Ganesh is about 50 years old but he looks younger than his age. Small built and very thin with big and thick glasses. Ganesh has been working in my office almost all his life and he has been a very loyal and good employee. As Ganesh works with accounts and money, he is good with numbers. In fact I have a feeling that Ganesh's memory can hold up to 2GB of informations. He could remember some particulars of some accounts that go back long before I was born. Like all other account clerks he is indeed very careful with 'his' money.

Ganesh doesnt talk very much. He only works and he fights sometimes to protect 'his' money. Even the Boss cant win over him and of course like any other computer brain, Ganesh do perform syntax error once in a blue moon. He works up to 10pm 3 times a week. He also walks all the way from the office to the banks, even when the bank is about 5 kilometers away from our office. Most people wont mind walking too, but to walk under the scorching 39C is pure madness.

Last year he demanded a raise and was quite adamant about it. He went all out to fight for his raise when he suddenly realized that he had gone overboard.The next day, Boss found a cake on his table, complimentary of 'you-know-who'.

In short, Ganesh is a typical nerd.

A few days ag0, Boss gave Ganesh a call to find his whereabout:-

"Ganesh... where are you?"


"Here !"


An answer that can only come from Ganesh.
