WHY NOT ME???

“Expression” is a bi-monthly magazine that my company brings out inorder to “enlighten” employees as well as clients about whats goin’…and every edition has a quiz that comprises of 10 ques related to topics discussed in the magazine…just to make sure somebody reads the magazine.Every single time i see one of those quizzes i wonder why don’t  they just try some other innovative idea for promotion…Last time me and rapajnipi were flipping through the latest edition, we’d commented on what are the odds of one of us winning the prize which happened to be a 2GB iPOD nano and didn’t bother to submit the ”so-called”  quiz ‘cos we believed deep inside  all these lucky draw contests were scams!!

Notwithstanding the ad. on the back cover of the magazine with quote from Bapalapajipi who joined the company with us,commenting about a Nikon Digital Camera he won on the quiz from the previous edition of Expression,we decided to show some integrity and loyalty to our ideologies-that all raffles were scams!!( the sheer under-lying reason being laziness…who’d wanna read the entire magazine just to answer 10 stupid ques..take the pain to send it back and wait expectantly when the probability of winning probably tended to Zero.)

Our beliefs remained steadfast and sure until today when i took a stroll with another friend around the company in the evening.Let me introduce to you Mr.Mapanjupunapath. This is a genuine example for smart work..All this genius did was to take 2 mins of his idle time to search key-words in the pdf version of the magazine and fill in the quiz and TA DA!! The guy wins the 2GB iPOD nano….OH!!FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!

Next time when you come across that poor handicapped guy selling lottery tickets just don’t listen to what people say….shed some coins get a ticket!!

And about me….I’m waiting for the next Expression to come out and in the meanwhile practising Mind Control techniques.”Ooooooo Abra ca Dabra…you don’t deserve that iPOD..Give it to me!!”
