The real reason behind the crash...
Our office-boy's take on the Mangalore air crash:
"Yeh sab log India me aise hi hai...paisa kamane ko chahiye par kharch nahi karne ka hai...idhar ke log bike ke tyre bhi chaar-paanch saal tak nahi badalte...flight ka tyre to sirf paanch minute kaam me aata hai....uske baad to hawa me uska kuch kaam nahi... pata nahi kitne saal se tyre nahi badla hoga... to woh to to phatega na..."

Ulterior motive
Every friday I get a mail from my I.T. head in colorful fonts asking me to shut down my desktop, monitor, linux servers and other equipment for the weekend. The reason cited by him, is usually to save energy and contribute to a greener world.. "Go Green", he says!!
N then there are occasional mails stating that the AC temperatures will be remotely controlled for power conservation purposes.. due to which we have to literally sweat it out in the office at times.. (because its summer...and the Gods have gone crazy this yr...)..but its all for the greater good!! and no one complains....
until one day......
Three months down the line, he shoots off a mail in even bigger and flashier font to the Company Heads, Directors and Managers with us in cc, stating that he has managed to save xx lacs for the company by taking these initiatives. The company's electricity bills have gone down by 30%..blahh...blah....followed by a bar graph showing the electricity usage per month!!!
To me this mail means the following "Respected Heads, Directors and Managers: Please make sure that I get some part of this green money (which the company has saved through my idiotic initiatives) as a part of my hike. Also...please...consider me a candidate for Grade A during my appraisal..Also please give me some real work, because as you can see I have loads of free time (The usage of different fonts, colors and cosmetic decoration in the mail proves this)."
Go Green....or Save Green??... and pocket some of the green too!! ;)
