The Panchatantra 2K6
Once upon a time, there was a software engineer who used to develop
programs on his Pentium machine, sitting under a tree on the banks of a
river. He used to earn his bread by selling those programs in the Sunday
market. One day, while he was working, his machine tumbled off the table
and fell in the river. Encouraged by the Panchatantra story of his
childhood (the woodcutter and the axe), he started praying to the River
Goddess. The River Goddess wanted to test him and so appeared only after
one month of rigorous prayers. The engineer told her that he had lost his
computer in the river. As usual, the Goddess wanted to test his honesty.
She showed him a match box and asked, "Is this your computer ?"
Disappointed by the Goddess' lack of computer awareness, the
engineer replied, "No." She next showed him a pocket-sized
calculator and asked if that was his. Annoyed, the engineer said
"No, not at all!!" Finally, she came up with his own Pentium
machine and asked if it was his. The engineer, left with no option,
sighed and said "Yes." The River Goddess was happy with his
honesty. She was about to give him all three items, but before she could make the
offer, the engineer asked her, "Don't you know that you're supposed to
show me some better computers before bringing up my own ?" The River
Goddess, angered at this, replied, "I know that, you stupid idiot! The
first two things I showed you were the Trillennium and the Billennium, the
latest computers from IBM!" So saying, she disappeared with the Pentium!!
Moral: If you're not up-to-date with technology trends, it is better keep
your mouth shut and let people think you're a fool, than to open your
mouth and remove all doubt!!!
