The physics lab of my school is a average room with three tables full of extremely breakable items(hence known as BI ) So no surprise when yours faithfully & friends broke two beakers two springs & all previuosly set records.(it even appeared in the school newsletter).For further info about the friends visit Life thru the eyes of a teenager .
So on the fateful day in which we supposedly( actually we didn't do it) broke the spring the teacher called us to her table ( which is known better as the deathbed ) & told us how much money we owed the school due to our breaking etc etc.
We begged , we pleaded , we oohed & aah-ed at the consequences she dramatically described.(I especially remember the vivid image formed in my mind by the crystal clear description of the principal's office) & finally said that we would pay........................
So we went to the peon . His name was Venkatesh & he gave us the bill. My dear aforementioned friend noticed that he had charged us a little extra.................
The following conversation ensued
Yours faithfully(managing to act like James Bond): Anna ninga pathu rubaa extra charge paanirikel
Peon:Athu athu.(stuttering & stammering)athu VAT
YF:Illa ninga extra charge panirkel...........
Peon: (now becoming confident)Illa pa athu VAT Paisava kuddu......
This meant
Me:Hey your charging us extra!!!!!!!!!!!
P:No no that is ..................................VAT
Me:No you're cheating us
P: No no pay up it is VAT
After endless speculation we came to a conclusion that VAT was (in this case) Venkatesh added tax...................
*We did pay up in the end we payed in full measure including the "VAT"
