Title: Nice One : Post by: rcforall on June 25, 2009, 12:56:16 PM Bill Gates organized an enormous session to recruit a new Chairman for Microsoft Europe. 5000 candidates are assembled in a large room.
One candidate is our Kutty. Bill Gates: Thank you for coming. Those who do not know JAVA may leave. 2000 people leave the room. Kutty says to himself, 'I do not know JAVA, but I have nothing to lose if I stay. I'll give it a try !' Bill Gates: Candidates who never had experience of managing more than 100 people may leave. 2000 people leave the room. Kutty says to himself 'I never managed anybody by myself, but I have nothing to lose if I stay. What can happen to me ?' So he stays. Bill Gates: Candidates who do not have management diplomas may leave. 500 people leave the room. Kutty says to himself, 'I left school at 15, but what have I got to lose?' So he stays in the room. Lastly, Bill Gates asks the candidates who do not speak Serbo-Croat to leave. 498 people leave the room. Kutty says to himself, 'I do not speak one word of Serbo-Croat but what do I have to lose ?' So he stays and finds himself with one other candidate; everyone else has gone. Bill Gates joins them and says 'Apparently you are the only two candidates who speak Serbo-Croat, so I'd now like to hear you have a conversation together in that language.' Calmly, Kutty turns to the other candidate and says 'Naadu evidey ?' The other candidate answers, 'Thrissur' !! Anwar : Thrissur :D ;D Title: Re: Nice One : Post by: anwar on June 25, 2009, 01:05:43 PM Yep it is me ;D How can I forget the long day of interviews at the Microsoft HQ, writing code on a white board for almost 8 out of 11 hours (back in 1997) !
