My recent interaction with a junior plumber left a lot to amusement.
As I happened to meet a few of them at the Summer Internship Plumbing School, I got to know that very minute that it would not be a disappointment having to talk to them.
As I entered, I could easily sniff the enthusiasm in one particular boy.
As I took to the podium, I was forced from within to ask just one question before I addressed any other topic on this.
My curiosity pushed me to ask each one of them-What drove you to become a plumber? The number and the kind of responses to that first question were simply interesting.
Besides that, the enthusiasm and positivism they should towards the scope of this profession, was totally thrilling.
It gave me a sense of pride talking about this fast-growing profession.
As I began to orate, I started with pointing out the average career graph of a plumber.
Considering that a qualified plumber starts his career as an apprentice to an established plumber, it is very imperative to observe and grasp the finer nuances of this task with utmost attention.
As I hit the mid of my speech, the boy whom I noticed got up and asked if there was something that he could do to add value to his country plumbing works.
The fact that such a thought hit interns at this age is a very positive sign.
After that I went on with sharing the good part with al youngsters present there.
All public places and public facilities have some scope for managing water works.
Whatever place we might take then, every nook ad corner does warrant plumbing.
Now be it sinks or valves or washers or drains or water pumps or water heaters, each one of these is required on residential as well as commercial buildings.
And but of course, all of these have to be managed per se.
So feasibly, one can even go on to becoming a plumbing equipment specialist in due course of time.
To conclude, we did some practical stuff by enacting live demos on plumbing repair works in the room.
As we carried that out, we stumbled upon a lot of questions and suggestions that added value to the entire exercise.
The end result was good! In fact I was much impressed by their composite focus on it.
