Selling Windows to Scott McNealy
The first lesson or one of the first few sentences a Marketing professor utters to a new batch of MBA students is that a good salesman/woman is one who can sell ice to eskimos. All the fresh faces who've heard such a sentence for the first time in their life open their jaws in awe for their professor even as he (the prof) continues his blabbering. Those kinda professors just got a new line to throw now.....A good IT salesman/woman is one who sell's Windows OS to Scott McNealy...

Arjun Singh supports 100% OBC reservations
On a day of dramatic announcements, the union ministry for HRD made a press release of the findings of a survey titled 'How to come to / retain power in an election'. The minister Mr. Arjun Singh said that this was a well planned and well prepared survey conducted by the otherwise ill-prepared beaureucrats-politicians duo. Out to hunt for the shortest possible time to achieve the goals as laid-out by the honourable minister, the empowered task-force committee headed by Mr. Ullu Moron came to the following conclusions (and their related suggestions):
- the 5-decade old policy of reservations haven't produced much intended results and that the GENERAL CATEGORY candidates continue to excel in whatever filth is left to them. For this, the committee suggests that the reservations should be rightly taken to 100% on an experimental basis for 10 years. Even after this, if these candidates continue to make a career
somehow, then taking the figure upwards should be considered.
- the backward classes of the country continue to remain backward. The brighter lot of the country continues to shine in places where the reservations are currently not in place. This go-getter attitude of the general category candidates was hurting the sentiments of the 'Backward Classes'. Since the various poverty-alleviation and other programs could not lift-up the lives of the poor and the backward class people even after 58 years of independence, the committee suggested a wealth-alleviation program. By drastically reducing the opportunities for the brighter kids from the so-called UPPER CASTES, this would make the playing field a very levelled one. This would bring socio-economic justice to the society.
Speaking to the reporters later, Mr. Singh praised the committee for coming out with an 'excellent understanding and analysis' and a 'commendable piece of work'. When asked to comment about the recommendation of increasing the reservation to 100%, Mr Singh said that this could be considered at the next Lok Sabha election as it wouldn't merit consideration for state elections. When further asked if the recommendation wouldn't defy logic, Mr. Singh 'reminded' the reporters that it was Indians who discovered the value of zero and the world would 'definitely welcome a new discovery from India'. The union railways minister Mr. Lalu Yadav, who was also present at the venue agreed with Mr. Singh.
