Management Story

In heaven...
Once PV Narasimha Rao, L.K.Advani and Laloo Prasad Yadav were traveling in an auto rickshaw. They met with an accident and all three of them died.

Yama Raja was waiting for this moment at the doors of heaven. He asks Rao 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 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 based on opinion or pre conceived notions. Yama agrees to this and asks all the three of them to appear for an English test.

Rao is asked to spell "INDIA" and he does it correctly.
Advani is asked to spell "FRANCE" and he too passes. I
t is Laloo's turn and he is asked to spell "UZBEKISTHAN".
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).
PVNR is asked to write "KUTTA BOLA BHOW BHOW".
He writes it easily and Passes.
Advani is asked to write "BILLY BOLI MYAUN MYAUN". He too passes.
Laloo is asked to write "BANDAR BOLA GURRRRRR....." 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 conduct any more tests.
Rao is asked: "When did India get Independence?". He replied "1947" and passed.
Advani is asked "How many people died during the independence struggle?".
He gets nervous. Yama asked him to choose from 3 options: 1000 or 200,000 or 100.
Advani catches it and says 200,000 and passes.
It's Laloo's turn now. Yama tells him, "Give the name and address of each of the 200,000 who died in the struggle".
Laloo accepts defeat and agrees to go to HELL.

The Moral of the story : "IF YOUR MANAGEMENT HAS DECIDED TO SCREW YOU, THERE IS NO ESCAPE !! "
