I was in a job interview today when the manager handed me his laptop and said, "I want you to try and sell this to me."
So I put it under my arm, walked out of the building and went home.
Eventually he called my mobile and said, "Bring it back here right now!"
I said, "25000 Rs and it's yours."
... Maybe we should do criminal check prior to the interview?
Good night

In a stunning development, India's IT services giant, Infosys, has surpassed the likes of Facebook by making a mammoth Rs 6 crore annual pay package offer to an IIT-Kharagpur Computer Science student, Rakesh Kapur, during campus recruitment. However, the idea was apparently a marketing gimmick gone wrong - the Infy HR team was confident that all IITians would reject the offer anyway but the news would make headlines on both the mainstream and the social media, thereby generating positive PR for the beleaguered IT services giant. But in a cruel twist, IITian Rakesh Kapur, who was spell-bound by the package, gleefully accepted the offer and even agreed to go through the initial months of prison-styled training thereby dashing the plan hatched by the company's HR division.
Now, the company is in utter shock. For one, it has blown its entire recruitment budget for the year on acquiring just one student. While he is undoubtedly talented and smart, can he do the equivalent of 100 freshers from other colleges? The Hiring and Talent Acquisition team has been summoned to explain the management and the Board the logic behind this move.
"We never thought they'd accept it and hence offered such a huge remuneration", said a shocked Ranjan Kumar, University Talent Acquisition Specialist at Infosys who devised the strategy of offering insanely huge offers to IIT students (who would anyway reject it) to boost up the company's image and profile among students from top Indian institutions.
Rakesh Kapur, who wanted to be an entrepreneur since birth and wished he had a couple of offers from Facebook and Twitter to reject, is excited after learning that his parents are very happy about their son getting an offer from a "very big" and a "well-known" company. Shantha Kapur, the student's mother, says she's thankful to God for blessing her son with an offer from Infy while all of her relatives' children are employed in some unheard of firms like Goldman Sachs and such

Nice Story....
As a man was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime can break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not.
He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. "Well," trainer said, "when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free."
The man was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn't, they were stuck right where they were.
Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before?
Moral: Failure is a part of learning. We should never give up the struggle in life. You Fail not because you are destined to fail, but because there are lessons which you need to learn as you move on with your life.
"Isn't the principal a dummy ?" - said a boy to a girl.
"Well, do you know who I am?" - asked the girl.
"No." - replied the boy.
"I'm the principal's daughter." - said the girl.
"And do you know who I am?" - asked the boy.
"No." - she replied.
"Thank goodness! " - said the boy with a sign of relief and ran away 🏃 🏃 😛
A short Story :
A Mother's Love : A little boy came up to his mother in the
kitchen one evening while she was fixing supper, and
handed her a piece of paper that he had been writing on.
After his Mom dried her hands on an apron, she read it, and
this is what it said: For cutting the grass: $5.00 ;
For cleaning up my room this week: $1.00;
For going to the store for you: $.50;
Baby-sitting my kid brother while you went shopping: $.25
Taking out the garbage: $1.00; For getting a good report
card: $5.00; For cleaning up and raking the yard: $2.00
Total owed: $14.75. Well, his mother looked at him
standing there, and the boy could see the memories
flashing through her mind. She picked up the pen, turned
over the paper he'd written on, and this is what she wrote: "For the nine months I carried you while you were growing
inside me: No Charge; For all the nights that I've sat up
with you, doctored and prayed for you: No Charge; For all
the trying times, and all the tears that you've caused
through the years: No Charge. For all the nights that were
filled with dread, and for the worries I knew were ahead:
No Charge; For the toys, food, clothes, and even wiping
your nose: No Charge Son,when you add it up, the cost of
my love is: No Charge." When the boy finished reading
what his mother had written, there were big tears in his
eyes, and he looked straight at his mother
and said, "Mom, I sure do love you." And then he took the
pen and in great big letters he wrote: "PAID IN FULL".
