[Humor] Management Decisions

Once PVNR (PV Narasimha Rao), L.K. Advani and Laloo Prasad Yadav were travelling in an Auto Rickshaw. They met with an accident and all three of them died.

Yama was waiting for this moment at the doorstep of death. He asks PVNR and Advani to go to HEAVEN. But, for Laloo, Yama had already decided that he should be sent to HELL.

Laloo is not at all happy with this decision.

He asks Yama as to why this discrimination is being made. All the three of them had served the public. Similarly, all took bribes, all misused public positions, etc. Then why the differential treatment?

He felt that there should be a formal test or an objective evaluation before a decision is made; and should not be just based on opinion or preconceived notions.

Yama agrees to this and asks all the three of them to appear for an English test.
  1. PVNR is asked to spell " INDIA" and does it correctly.
  2. Advani is asked to spell "ENGLAND" and he too passes.
  3. It is Laloo's turn and he is asked to spell "CZECHOSLOVAKIA".

Laloo protests that he doesn't know English. He says this is not fair and that he was given a tough question and thus forced to fail with false intent.

Yama then agrees to conduct a written test in Hindi (to give another chance assuming that Laloo should at least feel that Hindi would provide an equal platform for all three).
  1. PVNR is asked to write "KUTTA BOLA BHOW BHOW ". He writes it easily and passes.
  2. Advani is asked to write "BILLY BOLI MYAUN MYAUN". He too passes.
  3. Laloo is asked to write "BANDAR BOLA GRRRRRR....." Tough one.

He fails again. Laloo is extremely unhappy.

Having been a student of history (which the other two weren't), he now requested for all the 3 to be subjected to a test in history Yama says OK but this would be the last chance and that he would not take any more tests.

  1. PVNR is asked: "When did India get Independence? ". He replied "1947" and passed.
  2. Advani is asked "How many people died during the independence struggle?". He gets nervous. Yama asked him to choose from 3 options: 00,000 or 200,000 or 300,000. Advani catches it and says 200,000 and passes.
  3. It's Laloo's turn now. Yama asks him to give the Name and Address of each of the 200,000 who died in the independence struggle.

Laloo accepts defeat and agrees to go to HELL.


Moral of the story:

IF YOUR MANAGEMENT HAS DECIDED TO SCREW YOU, THERE IS NO ESCAPE.

Online Public Grievances Lodging and Monitioring System

Do u know that Government of India has a online Grievance forum at http://darpg-grievance.nic.in/?

The government desires people to use this tool to highlight the problems they faced while dealing with Government officials or departments like Passport Office, Electricity board, BSNL/MTNL, Railways etc.

I know many people will say that these things don't work in India, but this actually works as one person found out.
The guy I'm talking about lives in Faridabad (Faridabad is part of NCR and is in Haryana). Couple of months back, the Faridabad Municipal Corporation laid new roads in his area and the residents were very happy about it. But 2 weeks later, BSNL dugged up the newly laid roads to install new cables which annoyed all the residents including this guy. But it was this guy who used the grievance forum to highlight his concerns. And to his surprise, BSNL and Municipal Corporation of Faridabad were served a Show Cause Notice and the guy received a copy of the notice as well. All in one week. Government has asked the MC and BSNL about the goof up as it’s clear that both the government departments were not in sync at all.

So lets use grievance forum and educate others who don't know about this facility. This way we can at least raise our concerns instead of just talking about the 'System' in India.
