Yesterday during the council meeting, the secretary fumbled at a point while reading the minutes or report. He fumbled while reading numerical digits running into lakhs. He was not really familiar with lakhs and crores and therefore was struggling to understand and read those numbers.
I chuckled to myself at that moment as I was reminded of my own exact predicament when I was the secretary myself, years ago. What amused me was not the memory of my own struggle, but the fact that I was now sitting at that very same table, 18 years later as the financial head (Economer) having to handle and read those numbers everyday!!
Of course, not always are those lakhs and crores appearing in our bank accounts, but more often as debts and payments!!!
