RINN & ME...... 3

Trials :-

As our plants were getting commissioned, we had lot of trials for existing products to match what was already being produced as well as make trials for making new products. My dependence on RINN was increasing day by day.

All that I had to do was to carry out the trial and then arrange the materials. RINN would take all precaution, segregate, line up the material, pack, label and arrange everything ready for me for on ward shipping.

I also used to feel sentimentally that her hand had a magic touch and whatever she did with care got instant approval.

Thus things were looking good in the factory front. Because of all round appreciation and admiration RINN became the Team Leader in packing department. She was too happy of the new position and started working with further dedication and care.

There was a Chinese machine for which two technicians had come for installation from China. RINN got hooked to the machine from the word go and started taking care of the entire teamin the machine. The high speed machine was looking like it was made for her and started dancing to her tunes!

I was very happy with the developments and started enjoying the job as things started falling in place in the jig saw puzzle. Volume of production was looking up month after month. Our inefficiencies were also going down ward with steady slow trend of defects and rejections.

Now we were about to complete a year in Madagascar. But my lingual skills have not at all improved. Whereas RINN who used to ask “ Do you want me ?” Now started asking very coherently “Do you need any help from me ?” and started using words like “Sincerely” ; “ Hypocrisy”  etc. with ease.

By now I had learnt that she has a younger brother who was school going who is seventeen years old. Her mother was some thirty eight years old and her father was in his early forties working in some workshop. 

As RINN knew that I am a strict vegetarian she would never say that she had beef or chicken for lunch. She would say some vegetables name and say that she had the same in lunch with rice. I also came to know that to save money she would walk two kilometers a day in the morning to catch the local mini bus and evening depending on the time of going out she would either walk or go by mini bus to home. Her journey from and to home took approximately an hour a day.

As a family as we were living inside the factory I would just leave office and be at home in five minutes flat.
