Sardharji walks into a brothal in Sydney. "How much you charge" he asks. "$150 for an hour" says the girl behind the counter."do you do Indian Style" he asks. "Indian style? What is that"? asks the girl. "In India we try first and pay later".
*************************************************************
Three contractors . . . one from India, another from Germany and the third from England are bidding to repair the White House fence. They go with a White House official to examine the fence.
The English contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil. "Well," he says. "I figure the job will run $900 . . . $400 for materials, $400 for labour and $100 profit for me."
The German contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, "I can do this job for $700 . . $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and $100 profit for me."
The Indian contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers: "$2,700." The official, incredulous, says, "You didn't even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?"
"Easy," the Indian explains, "$1,000 for you, $1,000 for me and we hire the guy from Germany to do the work." ***************************************************************** The IAS Interview One young man went for an IAS Interview.
"When did India get independence?" He was asked. "The efforts began a few years earlier and final result was in 1947" He replied.
"Who was responsible for our independence?" "There were so many. Whom to mention? If I name one, it will be a injustice to another." He replied.
"Is corruption the number one enemy in our country?" "Some research is going on the subject and I can answer with certainly only after seeing the report" He replied.
The interview board was very pleased with his original and thoughtful answers and asked him not to reveal the questions to others, since they were planning to ask the same questions. When he went out naturally others were curious to know what was asked. He politely declined, but one persistent Sardar would not leave him. "At least tell me the answers" he pleaded, and our friend obliged.
Then it was the turn of this Sardar. When he went inside, since his resume was slightly illegible, the board member asked him." By the way, what is your date of birth?" He replied, "The effort began a few years earlier and final result was in 1947."
Somewhat puzzled, they asked another clarification. "What is your fathers name?" He replied, "There were so many. Whom to mention". If I name one, it will be injustice to another".
The interviewer was incensed. "Hey! Are you mad or what?" He replied. "Some research is going on the subject. I can answer with certainty only after seeing the report."Private Reply to Aditya Seth (new win) |
