The story is
told of how a recent entrant at the Pearly Gates was given the choice of
selecting the type of hell that he would be staying in. There were
different hells for different nationalities to suit the nature and
temperament of the inmate. The new Indian entrant had contempt for the
desi hell and expressed his desire to choose the hell meant for
other nationalities, more particularly an American or European one which
should be more comfortable. The Administrator smiled at his choice and,
in view of the candidate’s previous karma of a few good deeds, gave him
the permission to see for himself the comforts in each hell and then
decide where he would like to do.
The thrilled candidate first went to the American hell and found that
things were really hot there .The inmates were yelling in pain as one
after the other instruments of torture were being applied. He got
frightened and immediately left for the German hell which could perhaps
be better. Here too he found it was terrible as all Hitler’s men were
manning the bureaucracy of the hell and their efficiency was legendary.
This way he checked every European hell and found them all thoroughly
disagreeable. He then decided to go the Indian hell where he found
thousands of different nationalities waiting in the queue for admission.
He was at a loss to understand why innumerable people of all
nationalities queued up in front of the Indian hell with tokens
indicating a possible time of admission which stretched to several aeons
.He then asked the American who was standing in the queue why he
preferred the Indian hell to a possibly more comfortable American hell.
The answer he received helped our candidate immediately to make up his
mind in favor of the Indian hell :
The
population here is too much and there simply is no space inside for
freshers. The tokens indicate admission dates stretching to several
millions of years. Cool, isn't it ?
The
instruments of torture do not work here because they were all bought on
the basis of three quotations and the L1 principle.
Even if the
instruments worked there were no people who applied them because they
would always be on some leave or other and when they attended they
shouted slogans demanding more comforts and less work.
The top
management is is in an utter state of confusion about running the
institution and they have appointed some foreign consultants to suggest
drastic changes in the organizational structure. The foreign consultants
have been in closed door conferences with the in-house teams who were
supposed to supply all the ideas supported by the Harvard jargon of the
foreign consultants. Nobody knows when these conferences will end .At
least not before they collect the entire year’s fees.
The vigilance
machinery is quite active and the officials shit in their pants when
they are called upon to take any decision because nobody knows when they
will be charge-sheeted for the use of their discretionary powers.
The
high-fliers of the organization are busy making their careers and have
no time for the day to day running. They only make Long Range Plans
spanning ten to fifteen years.
