Who is Appaswamy?
During lunch break one afternoon at work, Rajgopalan and Shankar were chatting....
Rajgopalan: Shankar, I've been working late every day since I have joined here & hence I got a promotion this appraisal.
Shankar: How could it be Raj? Is that the only secret?
Rajgopalan: No, in the process of staying after office hours, I browse net and have also gathered a lot of General Knowledge; my boss also asked me such questions at appraisal time.
Shankar: Like what?
Rajgopalan: For example, do you know who is Graham Bell?
Shankar: No
Rajgopalan: He's the inventor of the phone in 1876; if you spent more time in office after office hours you would know this!
The next day, the same discussion took place:
Rajgopalan: Do you know who Alexander Dumas is?
Shankar: No
Rajgopalan: He's the author of "The 3 Musketeers", if you spent more time in office after office hours you would know this!
The next day, once again:
Rajgopalan: And do you know who Jean Jacques Rousseau is?
Shankar: No
Rajgopalan: He's the author of "Confessions", if you spent more time in office after office hours you would know this!
This time, Shankar got irritated and said:
Shankar : And you, do you know who is Appaswamy?
Rajgopalan: No
Shankar : He is the guy roaming around with your wife every evening!! If you stop spending more time in the office after office hours, you would know this!
