The importance of the coffee-person in any office can never be underestimated. He is, easily, the most venerated person; helping to soothe irate nerves and keep the peace.
His arrival is the most anticipated moment during the day. All work comes to a grinding halt when he's around, space cleared on cluttered tables, every eye on him, with thankful sighs resonating all around.
11 AM : OMG ! half hour more ! Why can't he come a little earlier?
11.10 AM : 20 minutes more! This is torture !!
11.20 AM : I give up. No more work can be done until i get some hot liquid down my throat. I wonder how i can pretend to be working until Murugesh arrives ....
11.30 AM : A smiling Murugesh walks in, with his usual "madam - tea or coffee?"
The whole atmosphere in the office changes. Frowns and scowls turn into smiles,everyone crowds around the "coffee-table" and the entire office echoes with happy chatter.
11.35 AM : the chatter dies down, everyone's back to their respective places, eagerly counting down to 4.30 PM ...
11.35 AM(IF murugesh hasn't turned up yet) : JF: "hello .. Murugesh, elli iddira? ( or, Murugesh, Goobe, bega barakkagalva!!)"
Murugesh: "Coming...coming.."
expectant faces looking wistfully at the clock and doorway; until the sound of Murugesh's footsteps on the kota brings a smile to their faces ..

looks like your vetti office culture revolves around a couple of teas and lunch. :P
Too much tea is not good for health my sister....
This is a nice post.. Different
i remember arumugam - the tea maker in one of my earlier organizations.
he would feel offended if someone refused to have his tea.
a tea-totaller like me got to having many a day, during every tea break and also whenever theer was a guest / meeting.
could it be that murugesh and arumugam - represent the god with six faces, who probably needed one tea per mouth?
Ya...can completely relate to ' Murugesh' character...even I have such a character who plays a very important role in my office hours.
Cheers
