Potassium
Saturday, September 28, 2019
We started our manufacturing unit of furniture back in 2015. We were very new to the business. We hired experienced managers.
Me(to the artisan): "ye puarana type ka finish karne k liye kya kar rahe ho?"
Artisan: "Mari hui PP laga rahe hai." "मरी हुई पी पी लगा रहे है "
Me: "I googled PP, it was potassium permanganate, they were mixing it with sugar. It changes chemical composition... they were calling it maari hui PP. I discussed it with my partner."
We went to a trade fair. A visitor was amazed by the antique finish. He inquired about the finish:
Visitor: "What do you do to attain this finish?"
with a 2 second pause, with an eureka moment expression.
My Partner: "We kill the PP..."
Visitor: "Ooh... that's very cruel."
We all laughed.
My Partner: "Shishir ji... apan ko pehle dry run karna chahiye, first day hai...aaise beizzati ho jayegi."
PS: for those who texted me for the headline and the image context. It's very stupid of me to name it that way. It's a friends's reference when they are searching for the monkey, and their neighbour says the banana is for potassium. Potassium...
Btw, I wanted to name it 'Shishir & The Chamber of Industrial Miscommunication' which was better in many ways, but then who wants to make things better? me? no.
