Dealing With The NCB (Non-Combatant Bearer).

In simple words, an NCB is a person hired by an army officer and paid by army for doing the work like polishing the shoes, making the uniform ready, getting food from mess etc. for the bachelor army officers.  And for the married ones, the NCB has to work in the kitchen like cutting vegetables and some of them also prepare meals, dusting the furniture after sweeper sweeps the home, getting things from the market, getting water from a water filter plant etc.

If an NCB is a sensible man, does his work in time, can make a good food probably and especially do not forget anything regarding his work, and also does his work in a proper manner. Then trust me it’ll be a great blessing, otherwise it will be a great Mind Collapsing Program.

And this is the case with me. Not a blessing but an MCP…. I mean a “Mind Collapsing Program” 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

Since I got Nikkahfied, I decided to get my husband’s NCB at my parents’ home where obviously I am also living till the time I don’t get married to my husband. I thought I would be good if our NCB comes and gets trained of running the house otherwise, and would be handling the kitchen matters at least.

I taught him few “desi” dishes which I also learnt from my Aunt, then I taught some baking stuff to him like brownies and cupcakes, and other recipes like doughnuts, pasta, pakorras etc.

Actually our NCB does whatever the task is being assigned to him like dusting the furniture and washing the utensils. But not properly.

‘SIGH’

One fine day when he’d done with the dusting and told me that he’d done his work, I simply asked him “Vo fridge saaf kiya??”

“Nahi Baaji”

“vo showcase saaf kiya??”

“Nahi Baaji”

“Vo kitchen counter saaf kiya??”

“Nahi Baaji”

“TOU PHIR KIYA KYA HAI TUMNY”

And this is how I really got flared up, because after 10 days of working he still forgets some of the things. Similarly I sent him to the market to get some grocery things like tomatoes, milk pack, stove coal, onions, 4 fizzy drink bottles and yes “seekh kabab masala”. He came back after an hour, yes “an hour”, the market is near to our home, and it hardly takes ten minutes to reach there on bicycle.

Anyways when I checked all shopping bags, the tomatoes, 2 fizzy drinks and yes “seekh kabab masala “ were missing. I asked him that why didn’t you bring these things because the guests are coming.

“Baaji bhool gya tha abhi jaata hun”

He went again like he’s been punished or what… Again after half-an-hour he came back, I checked the shopping bag again and yes “seekh kabab masala” was again missing. HOLY SHIT!!!

That time I really didn’t know how to control my anger, and I yelled on him to go and get that shit!

‘SIGH’

This is how in the beginning years one has to suffer such kind of silly guys.

The main thing is you should have patience when dealing with the NCBs because many of their things are really nerve testing. Otherwise they’re being vexed, and instead of working they may don’t abide by what you tell them etc.
