Tale of the wonky right turn

Once upon a time, there was a lowly peasant (but kind hearted) Consultant who was doing paid as an Engineer doing a Technician's work. He helped the company grew and grew. He worked Day and Night and sometimes, Night and Day, making sure the company is well fed even during the troubled times. Yes, Boys and Girls, this lowly (but generous) peasant made sure the debtors were kept at bay and do not have enough huff & puff to blow the House down.

And as a sign of appreciation, the Great Boss let him choose his reward; "Drive this car or else."

And so, the poor and humble (but humble) Manager drove this car everyday. He drove it under the hot Sun. He drove it in the rain. And he even drove it while drinking cheap day-old coffee. He liked the car and was thankful for such gifts. And the car, which was always serviced at 5,000km intervals and running happily at 9.99 KM/litre, served him well. So, the thankful (yet happy) Manager and the car went almost everywhere, everyday.

But one fateful day in April, after his lunch of bread and water (as the cost of petrol is high), the car was not feeling well. "What is wrong?" the Manager asked the car.

"Brrrtt........woka woka woka", replied the car.

But after a few minutes, the car was alright again and everyone was happy.

But it was not to be. Everyday, the car fell ill longer and more frequent. Sometimes it was so bad, the Manager had to say a few choice words. And sometimes, it was just bad. The car would shudder or jerk one second after it stops. Then when it hits a reverse hump, the car would shake all over. And also, during a fast or momentous right turn, the car would lose power, and this scared the Manager. As the days come and go, the problem got so bad, even a simple U-turn would make it lose power. And so, the Manager, bowed very low to the ground and said to Great Boss, "Dei, the car's fucked la." And the Great Boss replied, "So? Go and get it checked, la. Idiot."
