Debojyoti: - So, here is the final list of the people, who are going for the Ooty Conference. The names are: - Debraj, Anupam, Vartika, Koustav, Sunny, Arindam, Arnab, Deepti, Debarjun, Debolina, Sumanta, Angshuman and me. Accha, let me introduce you all to our newly recruited SAP Officer. His name is Sumanta. From now on, both Sumanta and Angshuman will guide all the SAP trainees of IBS (ICFAI Business School) Kolkata.
Sunny: - Sir, so, 13 people are going for this conference?
Debojyoti: - No, wait, there are another 2 persons from IBS Bhubaneswar. Himangshu, the SAP officer will board at Bhubaneswar with his SAP trainee Deepak.
Vartika: - Why IBS Bhubaneswar people will also go with us?
Debojyoti: - arrey, babah, I am the SAP Manager of Eastern zone of ICFAI. I have been given the responsibility to look after the SAP office of both IBS Kolkata and IBS Bhubaneswar branch.
Koustav: - Sir, we will be going by flight or train?
Debojyoti: - You people want to go by flight? Then, you have to pay extra 1000 bucks each because ICFAI has provided money for the 2nd Sleeper class train tickets for each SAP trainee both for arrival and departure.
Arnab: - No, no, Sir. We will go by train only. We don’t want to go by Air Deccan or Indigo.
Debraj: - yes, Sir! Train will be a feasible one.
Debojyoti: - Ok, then I will do one thing. I will book 15 tickets online through IRCTC portal. I have an account there. But, one thing I am telling you beforehand that after booking the train tickets, if anyone withdraws himself from this conference, then he needs to pay the price of his ticket.
Debolina: - We will go by which train?
Arindam: - Sir, what will be our route to reach Ooty?
Debojyoti: - We will go to Chennai by Coromandel Express. We will reach Chennai in the late evening. We have to stay in any lodge in Chennai to spend that night. The next morning, we will arrange a bus, which will take us to Ooty. Otherwise, there is a train also which goes to Coimbatore from Chennai. That train is around 10.30 PM.
Deepti: - No, Sir. It will become a very hectic journey. We will reach in the evening and then again we have to board the night-train. Very hectic, Sir!
Debojyoti: - Yeah, it will become a hectic one. Also, what if the Coromandel train reaches Chennai at 5-6 hours late? So, it is better that we will go to Ooty by bus from Chennai. Accha, another thing, that I must tell all of you. Don’t think that as Ooty is in South India, so, there is no need to take warm clothes for this tour. Ooty is a hill station and it has a decent height too. It is the Nilgiri range. It is mandatory that you take warm clothes like sweaters and jackets with you in this tour. Another thing, I want to mention is that as it is a conference, a black or blue colored blazer and a formal tie is a must. If you don’t wear blazer, then you will become an odd-man out in that conference room. Those who don’t have a blazer should buy it within this week.
*************************************
Arindam: - A blazer is very costly. A blazer costs around 6000 bucks.
Arnab: - See, Sain daa, in any case, you have to buy a blazer. Our placement officer, Ms. Sumita has already announced that there will be a photo-shoot for every student of IBS Kolkata, before the Campus Placement starts. In that photo shoot, you have to wear a blazer and a tie. IBS placement team will send your passport photos and resumes to different corporate for the recruitment process. My girlfriend was saying that there is a ‘Bazaar Kolkata’ mall in Kankurgachi area, where they are offering 30% discount on the price if you buy clothes of worth 3000 bucks. Also, John Millers is giving the offer of ‘Buy 1 and get 1 free’. My girlfriend also has a card of ‘Bazaar Kolkata’ which gives you 10% discount on the MRP of each product inside that mall.
Arindam: - Dhaath…I don’t believe in these offers. These are just eye-wash. When you will go there to buy something, they will come out with some new rules.
Arnab: - ok, we can at least try out, naah. Tomorrow evening, we can go and visit that mall.
************************************
Arindam: - You were right, Arnab. This blazer cost 3999 bucks. For buying this blazer, I will get another blazer free as per the recent offer of ‘John Millers’.
Arnab: - As per my girlfriend’s discount card, the MRP will come down to 3599 bucks. Now, as per the ‘Bazaar Kolkata’ mall offer, you will get 30% discount on 3599 bucks. So, ultimately, to buy these 2 blazers of ‘John Millers’ you need to pay 2520 bucks. Sain daa…you should give us a treat to me and my girlfriend today.
Arindam: - Yeah, yeah, don’t worry. I will give both of you a treat. I am very happy to get a blazer at a price of 1260 bucks each, he he he…I never expected it…Arnab, you should have taken Finance as your specialization rather than Marketing. Anyway, let us go out from this shopping mall. I have to do packing also after going back to my house. Tomorrow, the Coromandel Express will start at 2.35 PM from Howrah Station.
