PP RAMACHANDRAN

 

There was another Director who was famous for 

his bouts of anger and torrential tirade. He summoned 

his Deputy Director at 12. 30 p.m and instructed him 

to prepare a note on revising the Bank Rate. 

And he added “The note must be on my desk by 2 p.m”. 

Quite a forbidding task. But the Deputy was up to any 

emergency, worked hard, followed  his boss’s instruction. 

The Director returned at 2 p.m and was happy to see a file board with a note. He called his Deputy, asked him to sit down and began reading loudly the note. 

“Good. Very good .Well argued”, he said. As he reached the last page he found another note of similar dimension lurking below. “What is this?” he bellowed. The Deputy answered calmly, “Sir, you had not instructed me whether there should be a rise in Bank rate or a fall. The second note argues for a fall of one per cent!”
