Here I like to through some funny characters and incidents about them.
The first person is "SIMON SATELLITE"
There are some people if you go and ask them about a thing they will never come to the question rather than will speak something else which would irritate you a lot. At that time it would irritate you a lot, but if you think after sometime what they have answered you it will make your tummy to burst.
Imagine this situation ... .Simon is gonna propose his love to a girl, for convenience let us call her 'Susie'. So Simon calls Susie up to invite her for a coffee date.
Simon: Hello Susie... How are you?
Susie: I'm fine . How about you?
Simon: Fine! I paid fine of a hundred rupees for parking in 'No parking'. Nothing is fine in this country.
Susie: Have you called me to discuss the problems of our country?
Simon: Country! There are more than 200 hundred countries in this world. Each country has it's own problem. Let us discuss about Afghanistan today. It is alphabetically correct to start with 'A'. what do you say?
Susie: Listen Simon! I'm not interested in Afghanistan or any of the other 199 countries. You wanted to meet me to discuss something important. What is that you want to discuss?
Simon: Discussion! The art of discussion is dying down. This is the era of debates and arguments. Look at the news channels; they will always have something to debate about.
Susie: Simon! it is really difficult to have a focused discussion with you over phone. Let us meet and talk. How about coffee?
Simon: Now that is big business in countries like Ethiopia and Kenya. Well coffee also reminds me that I want to meet you for a cup of coffee.
Susie: I'm so glad that you faintly remembered it. Where exactly do you want to meet?
Simon: Exactly! What do you mean by exactly? Do you want to know the place in terms of latitude and longitude?
Susie: Only name and place would be enough.
Frustrated by now, Susie hangs up the phone and the confession of love is still pending. Susie has moved on in life and married Suzuki and they have happy family full of little Suzuki's and little Susie's.
If you find any kind of person like him, don't ask him any questions ;p
There is another funny character ---- "Wally Wordsworth"
The author encloses his own experience with this person.
Author: I don't understand how some people work; they just want to pass the buck. These people only work for the pay cheque. I don't see passion and a sense of achievement as the driving force behind them.
Wally: I must admit, confess and acknowledge, and also affirm that I fully agree with you. In fact, what you just said is the absolute truth. I totally second you on your thoughts and observations about some kind of co-workers. I really appreciate and am in total agreement with you on this. I must accept that I am forced to agree with you. I have no reasons or any kind of logic to defy or deny or dispute what you just said. Even at the cost of slight repetition, I can't resist saying that I fully agree with you. Work is for excellence and not for compliance.
Author: (Oh God! why did I bring up this topic?) I must leave now; something urgent to be submitted.
Wally: Please wait for sometime. You have brought up a very valid and pertinent topic. It is a topic which is very relevant and holds a lot of importance. wally went on blah blah blah and again started that ..... we all come to office. We get up in the morning, have bath, read the newspaper, get ready, wear clothes, have our breakfast, have some tea or coffee and then we step out of our house. Then we all commute to office by various means like trains, buses, cars, scooters, motor cycles, taxis, auto rickshaws or some people even come walking. The entire process right from getting up in the morning to commuting to office is just a means to reach office. For some people this is just a daily chore of reaching their office and for others it is a routine way to begin the day. In this entire process, some people are mechanical, working to earn their livelihood; but there are others who enter the office with a clear agenda and an objective of making a difference. The one who wants..... blah blah blah.......
Author: (almost collapsing) Yeah, you have a point. I have to go, something really urgent.
Wally: Please carry on. We could hardly discuss this topic today. It is a very interesting topic and holds a lot of relevance. We must discuss it in detail and at length , to do justice to it.
Author: Let us make a a documentary on this topic (said with obvious sarcasm). Take care.
Wally: Just documentary! we must also write a book on this topic , a research paper, also write a journal and create a website for taking pride at work. We can also form an association of like-minded professionals and works towards this goal.
IF YOU EVER COME ACROSS THIS PEOPLE ACT DUMB AND DEAF. JUST USE SIGN LANGUAGE. OR AT MAXIMUM, SEND AN SMS.
OMG!!! this book gives a parcel of funny characters with lot of fun...... and in the last chapter the author gives 'tit-bits and everyday humor'.
Taking a call--- In those days, 'taking a call' is a prestigious thing but now it is not so. Now the term 'Decision making' is slowly replaced by the term 'Taking a call' .
There are many such examples and funny incidents .... which is a Stress buster for us.....
It is a good starter for new book readers ..... Enjoy the book ... :)
