VM: This person is taking my life for money. I dont think this person will go. How to manage now?? Client: What are you thinking sir? VM: Hmmm... ah... Give another 3/4 kg mutton at home. Client: Another 3/4 kg?? Why? VM: Now you asked me whether the dog's owner should pay if the dog takes the mutton For that I will take Rs.1000 as consulting fees. So Rs.400 for half kg mutton and give 3/4 kg mutton for remaining Rs.600. Ok?? What are you looking at? Client: This is fraud! So far i was thinking giving leave on October 2nd Gandhi jayanthi and asking people to attend gram sabha is injustice. But only now I am realising that a fraud person like you should have planned for it. VM: Hey wait man!! Why are you scolding all. Who takes care of income and expenses of your house? Client: Me. VM: Now if you have to build a house or admit you child in a good school, for such emergencies if you have to take loan who will decide it? Client: Thats also me only. VM: Wont you consult with anyone at home? Client: Sir, if I do all these without discussing at home, my wife will stone me. Ok Why re you asking all these?? VM: Just the way your family decided for the income and expenses of your house, even village is just the same. Village is also a family. Every villager is a member of this family. So just like your family, even for this family all members should sit, and discuss about the income and expenses and growth. Client: Yes. VM: Thats why gram sabha is conducted. This gram sabha meeting held on leave days because other days people shouldnt give false excuses like they didnt get leave and they will skip the gram sabha meeting.
