Client: Sir, I need law. VM: Oh Great!! Our people are aware of laws now. Sir, who are you? Client: Sir, I am Mayilvahanam. VM: Dont know who is he and what law he needs. Client: If I go to shop we will know sir. If you give some money I will go and buy it. VM: What?? You will buy law by giving money??!! Client: You just tell me what type you want. VM: How dare you!!! You are talking a person who has studied law and telling them you will buy law for money. Do you know the history of law? Our law is 140 old. Client: Then it will be really old. VM: In the year 1881 law reduced the working hours to 12 hours. Then think earlier how long the worker used to work. Client: Then till that period everything was in favor of owners. VM: You are right! It was a victory to get a law which said children less than 7 years should not be appointed as workers. Just think how bad things were. Client: How come we got 8 hours work and only children above 14 years should be appointed as workers? VM: We got it because of the continuous effort of union. Wait!! How do you know that? Client: Once my 8 year old son got my cutting machine and playing with it by keeping it on a tree. A person saw this and thought i have kept a child labour and filed a case. Somehow i came out of that case sir. VM: Huh!! Somehow we fought and got 44 labour laws and now it has been shrinked to 4 laws. Now taking the excuse of corona they took workers to 144 years back. Client: How come sir? VM: They are saying to work for 12 hours with 8 hours of salary. Just like in the year 1881. Client: What to do for this sir? VM: Unions and workers should decide. ok you said you will buy law with money. Client: Sir if we give money they will give what law we want. VM: I have never heard about it. We can buy any law?? Client: Jut tell me what you want! VM: This will be correct for that case. Ok get me one Industrial dispute act. Client; I will ask. But not sure whether will I get it or not. You are asking for which I have never heard. VM: What else will I get? Cleint: Neem, rose wood, Teak. As you have asked, if we need foreign materials we need to order for it. VM: What?? I asked for foreign item?? Client: Sir why you need so costly one for mosquito net? VM: Hey what are you talking about?? Client: Your wife has asked to fix mosquito net for all door and windows. If you give money i will go and by Sattam( Sattam has 2 meaning- law and frame). VM: So you are? Client: Carpenter sir. VM: Thats why you spoke about Sattam!! Hey next time you tell who are you and then talk about sattam.
