A Perfect Manager in the making

Status Message on a friend's IM

Today I made a small sketch of the side view of the Mercedes 500K Specialroadster on my Finance question paper!! Haria is going to tear out his remaining hair!!


And below is the chat that confirms it...


[me]: did u really do that
pls say no
[KS]: yeah
i didn't know a damn thing today
[me]:ha ha ha
ha ha
...
[KS]: failing for sure this time, abhi tak saare sem mein scrape through kar gaye the tough subjects mein
[me]: damn...you got guts man
[KS]: i drew it on the ques paper
not on the answer sheet
i doubt he's going to see the ques paper
even if he does, i'm betting he gives me some marks for the artwork
[me]: ha ha ha
[KS]: i suddenly rememberd my childhood sketching times
i am gonna try and sketch a proper side view when i am free on full A4 sheet
[me]: ha ha ha
now I truly understand the meaning of term ROFLMAO
[KS]: sketching was my passion and u are laughing about it
i won't tolerate that
[me]: no...I am just thinking of the IIM professor who will be cheking your answer sheets
[KS]: well as i mentioned in the status msg
either he's going to take some pity on me or give me some marks for the artwork
it's a win-win situation


this person has a Bachelor's degree in Architecture, holds work experience in IT, and is currently pursuing his Master's Degree through IIM-I. Apart from that, he has a passion for collecting scale models of automobiles, and hates studying. I still do not understand how he managed to beat the other 99.9 percent individuals who appeared for CAT.

I wonder about the future of the company who will appoint him as a Manager...God help them.

Sachin Tendulkar

Got this as an E-mail Forward some time back...when Sachin hit the double century in One Day International Cricket...
This very rightly captures the emotions of every person in a country where Cricket is a religion and The Little Master is God.


10 Reasons why I hate Sachin Tendulkar

1. He always plays a brilliant innings before my exam/important meeting and hence doesn't let me study.


2. Every time that I think of becoming an atheist, he gets into the nineties and I have no choice but to pray.


3. Every time I take a resolution not to bite my nails, he gets into the nineties and I am left with no choice but to chew on my nails.


4. He keeps all the records to himself.


5. He makes a lot more money and fame than me.


6. He costs way too much on ‘super selector’ but since I have to pick him, the rest of my team gets weakened.


7. During a match, invariably when I want to go to the bathroom, he hits a boundary and hence I have no choice but to sit and watch the replay.


8. As soon as I convince myself that God does not exist, he plays a straight drive and proves me wrong.


9. He brings the whole country to a standstill whenever he bats


10. And the last and the biggest reason why I hate Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar …


He is going to retire sometime in the future...
