The Story Of A Mother And A Son - Sri Charan Dwaraka, MDI Gurgaon
It was a burning hot summer afternoon in the coastal city of Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh. A son on his bike and his mother were going to all the retail cement shops to order for around 500 cement bags which would take care of the requirement of the cement required for the 1stslab and the steps landing for their new house being built. He is a young teenager didn’t know anything about the quality or anything it is about. She is a normal Indian middle-class housewife and is concerned about the loan which she made her husband agree upon for building the house. The teenager always followed her mother’s ideology, they need to get a good deal for the cement which they are going to buy. They really don’t know the difference between OPC and PPC cement. But all they know is OPC is the regular variant which is used regularly in that area. PPC comes for some cheap cost. The retailer explained that PPC is made from fly ash or something of that sort. Even the retailer himself doesn’t seem to know more about it. The son tried to figure out something out of this. Mother doesn’t even have a clue, as her mind is clouded that she can save some money if she opts for PPC. At last, they both landed buying PPC cement of 500 bags of the Ultratech Cement.
