Corporate Lesson 2
Once PVNR (PV Narasimha Rao), L.K.Advani and Laloo Prasad Yadav were
travelling in an autorickshaw.
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 pre conceived notions.
Yama agrees to this and asks all the three of them to appear for an
English test.
PVNR is asked to spell "INDIA" and he does it correctly.
Advani is asked to spell "ENGLAND" and he too passes.
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).
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
take any more tests.
PVNR 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: 100,000 or 200,000 or 300,000.
Advani catches it and says 200,000 and passes.
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 struggle.
Laloo accepts defeat and agrees to go to HELL.
