I had never before visited the Bhutan Power Corporation’s payment counter for payment of my bills - someone had always done it on my behalf. Today, as I had time in hand, waiting for a friend to reach his office in Kawajangsa, I decided that I will visit the BPC’s Payment Counter above the UNDP office so that I can pay my bills that have been outstanding for a long time.
Each of their glass panes carried a notice each. But the following three caught my eyes:
REMINDER TO ALL THE
VALUED CUSTOMER
Please take note that date 29th is the last due date for the water bill payment for every month. If date 29th falls on government holidays or on a Saturday we are not responsible for that. After that we will remain closed for few days.

lol...must remember not to pay my bills in cheque although I don't know how they will debit a grand when there is no money in the account. I've also never been to the BPC counter; guess I should now just to make head or tail of the notices on the glass panes and apprise those behind the counter...by the way, did you? Anon.

ReplyDeleteI guess our corporate big-wigs with fat pay cheques gave and give such mundane issues the slip!! But then, as somebody said; "if you take care of the smaller things, the bigger things will take care of themselves."
