What can Gandhigiri do to you ?
Lage Raho Munnabhai's astounding success at the box office has revived Gandhian Thought and Philosophy is a big way. 'Gandhigri' is now a household word and many are trying to practice it in their daily life. But there are times when gandhigiri can actually let you down and here is an account of one such incident.
Date - 6-9-2006
8 of us joined a new project which was supposed to be for 2 months with very strict time lines.
Date - 19-9-2006
It was another calm tuesday, 2 people from our gang were allotted work and were occupied,rest of the junta including myself were getting absolutely bored.It was the time when lage raho munnabhai and it's gandhigiri were creating storm at the box office. The jobless folks from our gang decided to watch LRM afternoon show. Three of us were involved with some other activity and hence decided not to come to the movie.It was left with 3 of us , Ms S , Ms J and of course myself. As my wife had earlier asked me to watch LRM with her , i said i would not be coming to the movie.So Ms J and Ms S set off. Immediately after they had left , Ms J got a call from the lead regarding some work which was to be assigned.Since she was not at her seat , the lead called me. I had to pick the call knowing pretty well some major work would be assigned to me.I picked the call and as expected by me , i was assigned one of the most difficult work that was assigned to our team.

Two months of sleepless nights , weekends at office , skipping dinner almost everyday, lost 8 kg but most importantly managed to complete my work on time. Ms J was not assigned any work, in fact her marriage got fixed and she has been having a great time since then.Ms S was also let scot-free for sometime before some work was assigned to her without setting any deadline. she's also in cloud nine with her dance performances, nicknames ( Psycho & Tube light ) and of course her ever increasing admirers list. :-).
Moral of the story :

Moral of the story :
IT Gandhigiri
1) Watch movies during work hours to avoid assignment of work to you.
2) Married people have higher chance of work assignments happening as they are unable to freak out with friends and team mates . ;-)
3)Work is most important, worship it.And when you complete it, start blogging about it.
