BPO DRUGS

“After a long period, we are having a re-union. It has been 3 years, when we passed out of our Graduation College.” said “Suresh”. “Arindam” said, “But, why “Shalini” is yet to reach here. Just call in her mobile once.”

“Mohit” dialed her mobile number and asked, “Hello! Shalini, where are you, boss, we are waiting for you, here in the “Paradise Restaurant”.

Shalini: - Sorry!, I cannot go there now. My hubby has got a severe heart attack just now. I am going towards “Birla Heart Centre Hospital” right now. If you people can come over here, it will be a great help to me.

After hearing the news, everyone ran to the hospital. There, “Shalini” is sitting quietly on a bench.

Suresh: - ei Shalini, how it happened, boss, a severe heart attack!, your hubby “Ronit” is hardly around 29 years old. How can a person get a heart attack, at this age? Very Strange!

The doctor came out of the room, and said situation is under control, but minimum 1 week rest is required. At that point, the boss of “Ronit”, “Mr. Bhaskar Roy” came to the hospital and said to doctor, “Thanks doctor, but I don’t know, why you have called me here? What’s the matter? You wanted to discuss something with me. What is that about? The doctor told him to come inside a discussion room.

Arindam: - Is it a very confidential discussion? If it is regarding our friend, then I also want to join that discussion. I hope, you will not mind, doctor.

Doctor: - Ok, sure, why not? Please come in.

Bhaskar: - Tell me, what happened?

Doctor: - Do you know, Mr. Bhaskar, why Ronit has got a heart attack, because of his drug-addiction to a medicine “Anoroxitin –D”, which is an energy-booster tablet. Your employees work in the BPO in night shifts, and to get more energy and become more productive, they take these drugs thrice a week. My goodness!

Bhaskar: - So what, every BPO employees take these type of drugs, to improve their productivity. See, ultimately, we want business and if an employee tries to become efficient in his/her work, and then at the end of the day, our BPO business is shining, you see. But, what is the connection with that drug and heart attack.

Doctor: - Boss, do you know how these tablets work. They will increase your blood pressure, directly affects the heart. It increases the heart beat. A medicine is not providing you the extra energy from external source. It is utilizing your own internal resources only. It is like you are grilling a sugar-cane to take out the last drop of juice from it. Juice will come out and will taste sweet, but what about that grilled Sugar-cane. Your body will become like that sugar-cane only, and the net result is, you will get a heart-attack.

Bhaskar: - but, I have never told my employees, to take those drugs. They have taken those drugs, on their own risk.

Arindam: - Why don’t you initiate a process to examine every day, that, your employees are not coming to office without taking drugs?

Bhaskar: - No, we cannot interfere in the personal life of an employee.

Doctor: - so, you want to say that, business should go on, for the sake of a heart-attack of young professionals.

Bhaskar: - Ah! Doctor, we are providing medical insurance, naah, so let them take “BPO Drugs”. Don’t worry.
