Some Limericks!!!

Adam Smith went to an Indian wedding in Maharaja Hall,
A Smile is harmful for a make uped face done at parlor and all,
A parlor charges Rs. 10000 for an additional value,
A smile on the face people say increases a face value,
Adam Smith scoffed and said, “Doesn’t make economic sense at all.”




An age old ritual is that of Naming a Baby,
This January,Naveen and Vidya expected a Girl Baby,
Name had to be uniqueish,
Name had to be both Mommie n Daddyish,
The baby girl opened her eyes to a name called Nivea.




Marriage shopping requires huge amount of cash and concentration,
A bride has to make long trips to Malls and Jewelers destination,
A dress is not a dress which weighs less than 50 kilograms,
And five hours to ‘Make Up’ to make good the natural loss,
After such effort and time,the bride manages to have a calendarisation.



A pious lady went to a temple on a daily basis,
She hoped to please Lord Shiva with this practice,
The Lord one day decided to oblige her,
And appeared in the temple in his full attire,
Due to a sudden shock the lady died of a cardiac collapse.



This was a matter of serious concern and grave thought,
The students of MBA disappeared from class to sit on Orkut,
It was decided to effectively ban the site,
And to expel immediately the unrelenting trite,
A notice of the same notion was scrapped to all on Orkut.




I had a boss and her name was Dr. Sycophancy,
She had a weakness for a certain Mr. Diplomacy,
They went on a Honeymoon,
To a place called Blue Moon,
The company behind them yesterday passed away.




There was an old Lady who lived in a tree,
She lived there happily and peacefully,
Until one day when with an axe,
She crashed her own tree down to earth,
She had seen an Ekta Kapoor serial on Tv.



I happened to see photographs of high school friends yesterday.
Familiar eyes, under the chubbyish cheeks lay,
All of them had seemed to take,
Quite a similar round round shape,
Then I realized, World is suffering from an epidemic called obesity.

Great minds discuss ideas, Mediocre minds discuss events, Small minds discuss people.

Sukh!

Himalaya ki god me,
jamuni nili pahadiya,
unke beech, ek sunder si hari ghati,
aur usme basa kuch bhoore kale jhopdo ka,
ek sundar sa gaon.

Jaha nili kali nisha jate jate,
nishchint soye logo ko,
dheere se jaga de.
aur usha, apni lal lal kirno se,
unme oorja bhar de.

ve nirbhik ho, kyuki unka man nirmal ho,
ve parishram ka paudha rope,
jisme sundartam phal lage.
ve dukh bant le aur sukh bant de,
ve saundarya ka anand le,
aur srajan ka sukh bhoge,
ve tyag ka anand le,
aur prem ka ras le.

Yahi hai manav jeevan ki,
meri sabse sundar kalpana.

To Gautam

Ever since I joined my new job, my admiration for him has grown day by day. His enthusiasm for his work is something that is rarely seen. Few people would enjoy their work as much as he does. He has great energy levels and he never looks tired, in spite of the fact that he has long working hours. His Time Management is perfect and delays on his part are very very rare. When he has to stay back in office for work, he does not show any reluctance at all. On the contrary, he fulfills his duty with enthusiasm. He is a very positive person, who does not bother much about appraisals or promotions. ‘Work is worship’, he lives this adage everyday in his work life.

His kind of Emotional Intelligence is rare. He knows how to exactly handle changing moods, rising tempers, whims and fancies of people. He manages to keep everyone motivated. His presence in the Board Meetings is a must. He intuitively understands the environment in the Board Room and quickly develops his tactic to deliver according to the circumstantial needs. He has been applauded for this many a times.

He is near perfect in his work, but even then he listens very carefully if someone gives him some suggestion to improve himself. He is very polite and possesses impeccable good manners. How many people would have such continuous drive to perfect them? He always has a smile on his face and he meets everyone in the office with a lot of warmth. He has a great ability to connect with people and he perhaps has the maximum number of friends in office. When he went to his home town for a holiday, everybody in the office missed him. One colleague remarked, ‘The taste of the tea has changed without having Gautam around.’ Most of the people in the office agreed to this. Such good are his PR skills.

People like him are rare to find and thus his services are valued by the organization. He is very good at perfect utilization of resources. Wastage is minimum, when he controls things. He can be a source of inspiration for many others. He takes incredible interest in what he is doing and seems to have a high self-esteem. He is proud of his work.

Gautam brings us tea every morning with that ubiquitous smile on his face. He manages our mini ‘teashop’ plus pantry. He has no assistants to help him, but everyone in the office is served perfectly, throughout the day. He knows the choice of every person - Tea, Coffee, Black Tea, Black Coffee, with sugar, without sugar, various proportions of milk and sugar as per individual taste. He never fails to deliver what exactly we want. He never went to any Business School. But he is a live case study – In HR, Finance and Marketing. Gautam is our Tea-Boy.
