Live from Khanewal (Part 2)

Ahh the HO of Unilever. Its no less than heaven. That is if youve seen the other sites. And if youre a single male. But I wont go into that. So there I was; pushed away into the furthest part of Karachi for a WHOLE FOUR MONTHS!! yes, thats exactly how much I (over)reacted. It was in a place called West Wharf. Many of those who read this havent ever been there. Many, yet, havent even heard of it. But it wasnt THAT bad. Atleast I was home. Karachi. Good 'ol polluted, people-screaming-in-your-face, ramming-cars-up-your-a**, breaking-roads-everywhere, Karachi. My plan for the training period COULD HAVE gone smooth. It could have gone all nice and easy, as planned. But it was not to be. Somewhere in Pakistan, there was a village. They called it ..........................................Khanewal. Somewhere in that village, there was a factory which belonged to .......................................................Brooke Bond (which does not sound all that dramatic actually). This factory was bought by Unilever in 1998. Exactly 8 years later, they decided to suddenly change the training plan of one poor, innocent, unsuspecting management trainee.
