Vaazhga Thamizh..

Vaazhga Thamizh means long live divine Tamil. I received a mail from one of my friends which had the subject 'Vaazhga Tamil'. I am a pukka Tamil, so without any deferment I opened the mail. I don't read forward mails but this mail engrossed me completely. On completion I was laughing boisterously. Read on, am sure you will enjoy it (especially the Tamils). :)

Beating the employment trap.

Bill Gates organized an enormous session to recruit a new Chairman for Microsoft Europe. 5000 candidates assembled in a large room. One candidate is our Ramasamy, pukka Tamil guy.

Bill Gates: Thank you for coming. Those who do not know JAVA may leave.

2000 people leave the room.

Ramasamy 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.

Ramasamy 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.

Ramasamy says to himself, 'I left school at 15, but what have I got to lose ?' So he stays in the room.

Lastly, Bill Gates asked the candidates who do not speak Serbo-Croat to leave.

498 people leave the room.

Ramasamy 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 joined them and said '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, Ramasamy turns to the other candidate and says 'endha ooru?'

The other candidate answers, 'Thoothukudi pakkam'

Tamizhan da. Tamizh Vaazhga. Long live divine Tamil.
