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
