Friend,
I heard this inside the lift as I was going up today.
"Sameer was asked to leave."
"So was Anand"
"The pic is very bleak"
"Who knows, you might not meet me here tomorrow"
"Good luck, Tarun"
Will they meet each other next day at work? I hope they do.
This is from today's ET
Co getting new contracts: Murty
NEW DELHI: Even as a few customers have left in the wake of the financial fraud committed by its erstwhile promoter, Satyam Computer on Wednesday said it is continuously getting new software services orders and existing clients have showed faith in the company. “A significant majority of our clients have indicated their support for Satyam and are staying with us. Orders continue to come in, and the organisation is (making) efforts to grow new businesses,” Satyam Computer CEO A S Murty said.
Let Satyam live on, and let the employees be the new owners.

A nuke deal reminder
US to get $20-b nuke deals
The government has promised business worth Rs 100,000 crore ($20 billion) to US companies for supply of nuclear equipment, as it looks to return the favour to Washington for pushing a civilian nuclear deal that ended decades of international nuclear apartheid against India last year, senior central government functionaries and officials closely involved with the process said.

'It's not me!!!!' ... 'Of course it's me!'
We had a hilarious incident at work today. My boss mistook himself as somebody else!
It all started around 11 am when we heard him talking to somebody loudly on the phone, arguing with someone. It was over a photo that he had pasted on his insurance form.
He charged at the voice on the phone saying that he'll sue them on a case of impersonation, that he will not let them go.
"Every where I am being targeted. It is a world of unreasonable maniacs, cheats, *%$#@!!!! . I cannot tolerate this."
Nobody dared to speak, it is the boss after all.
We were as usual, engrossed in our work, our ears straing out to listen, and mind trying to confine it to the screen.
It took till noon for a younger person in the team to intervene, to placate the boss' frustration.
And lo and behold, he met the boss' smug face on the insurance
form.
"It is you on the pic, boss, it is only that it is bit not you usual handsome self."
The guy didn't buy it till late in the afternoon.
But now after all of us pitching in, he is beginning to see the light.
So much for a boss' tale.
As of me, dear reader, I cannot even share a smile with the air, so I am sharing this anecdote with you. I know you are there, reading in on a screen.
