PumKide day 1
My name was Lucky. My family background was poor. That's why my father named me Lucky. It means hope, one day I will change this situation.
That day a man came to me. He knew everything about me. I didn't know how he got my biodata.
First he made me realize the bad condition of my family, emotional blackmail. He brought me a job opportunity. I was about to work in a perfume manufacturing company "PumKide". Even if it is perfume manufacturing company, job was risky. If something happens to me while working, the company would give ten lakh rupees to my family members and a house to live in. At first my family was not ready to join the company but as per my risk and return promise I decided to leave.
The next day the man came to my house. He gave 30,000 thousand advance salary payment in the hands of my family. Then we were going towards our district. We entered a private hospital. I had filled the all company forms. And I was going by Ambulance.
Ambulance was stopped at lonely hotel in a kerala. We stayed their at night. I was dreaming about my job and salary and future. In the morning a man woke me up to leave. Then as instructed by the driver, I sat inside the big commercial truck with the new five recruits of the company.
The truck was passing through many big trees and small mountains, when I thought that we were going towards the forest. The truck was stopped at the first checkpoint when I read the name of the place. That place was The Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve. After two more checkpoints, the truck was continuously going inside the forest on rough road.
The Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve is a biosphere reserve in the Nilgiri mountains of the Western Ghats in South India. It was healthy to my eyes to saw such greeny.
Finally we reached the destination. We get off the truck and look around. About 5 km away from us were the mountains on the right. At the foot of the mountain there were a cement buildings and the other made of bamboo. There was farm at left side. There was a iron rod structure in the farm. "PumKide" board hanged to the structure.
The driver was opening the shutter/rear door of the truck. We were taking out bags and some domestic things. We put our bags and household things into a cement building. Then truck was parked near hoarding. Driver called us and we returned to the truck. As soon as the driver pressed the button, the compartment was changing. The compartment of dead bodies changing internally at checkpoint for hiding it from police. It was very scary and terrible to see that many dead bodies were hanging in the truck.
I asked the truck driver "why are the bodies bring here"? Then the truck driver replied "the dead bodies are the food of the trees". The truck driver again said that the smell of flowering plants increases from these dead bodies. Then I thought it was normal in today's world. Scientists were investigating unimaginable things. But I got serious when the driver said that another truck would come next week with new recruits. My small and village level mind thought that the new recruitments are for the expansion of the company but it was the deadline for our death.
As per the instructions of the truck driver, we were going to bring the rope towards the truck. We stretched the rope and joined it with a electric rope hoist. Then one by one the dead bodies were carried under the steel sheet roof. Then one by one the bodies were carried under the steel sheet roof. Then we were on our way towards the cement building for lunch. Earlier I requested the driver for lunch in the field but he did not say yes.
We entered the kitchen of the building. Lunch was already prepared for us by a chef. I thought he was a real cook but he was a scientist doing research on flowering plants. We started having lunch. We were introducing each other. Me and Rakesh were two boys who were not so educated as compared to others. driver was not clearly introduced himself. The other two recruits Om and Mayur were engineers. And the last one was Abi of the same state. The scientist introduced himself but it was not true. We used to call him a scientist.
We came out. The time was 6 o'clock in the evening. The atmosphere at that time was the best I felt in my entire life. When we were planning to ride but the scientist said no. There were many forest animal would attacks in the night. We used to travel during the day because of the animals. And another thing was a worm ( IN HINDI WAS KIDE). Area blocked by Kide. Then we were going to sleep.
The scientist went to the second floor of his room because his bedroom and research room were on that floor above ours. When we entered the bedroom, we started laughing seeing the arrangement in it. In our house the height of the bed, table etc. was not more than half of the room. The height of the bed and the table in that building was 75% of the height of the bedroom. When I asked the driver, "Why are there so many big beds and tables in the bedroom? He replied that I would know in the morning. Everyone was sleep. I was thinking before sleep or questions not let me sleep well. I was thinking before falling asleep or the questions were not letting me sleep well. Who was the owner of that pumkide company and I thought it was must be one the politicians. Politician because anyone not allowed to establish factory or any business inside forest according to rule. But I again thought that this company's business was related to farming. After lot of struggling with questions I slept.
