YSR letter to Prime Minister On satyam

Today's revelations of the Chairman of Satyam Computer Services Limited have come as a grave shock to everybody in the country. We, in Andhra Pradesh State, are particularly disturbed as the headquarters of the company is in Hyderabad with many operational facilities spread across the State.
While I have no doubt in my mind that Law will take its own course, our major and immediate concern is about the fate of 53,000 employees of the company. As you may be aware, majority of the clients / customers of the company are Fortune 500 companies, who will be averse to do business with companies having fraudulent managements and they will have every right to cancel the existing contracts, which will jeopardize the interests of the employees and innocent shareholders.
I, therefore, urge you to kindly constitute a management team with immediate effect comprising of personalities of globally known integrity and competence viz., Sri Azim Premji, Sri Narayana Murthy and Sri Ramadorai to manage affairs of the company to restore the confidence of the global customers in its business continuity, so that the interests of the employees and other stakeholders are protected till an alternative credible management is put in place for the company.
Yours sincerely,
(Dr.Y.S.RAJASEKHARA REDDY)
Dr. Manmohan Singh,
Prime Minister of India,
New Delhi.

The above letter was also sent to:
Sri P.Chidambaram, Union Home Minister, Sri Montek Singh Ahluwalia,
Deputy Chairman, Planning Commission and Sri Prem Chand Gupta, Union
Minister for Company Affairs.

Appraisal Letter story

here was a contest in TCS comp. To write a fictional story for 500 words max which would start with the line "On a dark and foggy night, a small figure lay huddled on the railway tracks leading to the Chennai station "

This is what a guy wrote for the contest..... .. and surprisingly, it was judged the best short story! This being the appraisal season, you might want to have a peek in to this... :))



On a dark and foggy night, a small figure lay huddled on the railway tracks leading to the Chennai station. At once I was held back to see someone in that position during midnight with no one around. With curiosity taking the front seat, I went near the body and tried to investigate it. There was blood all over the body which was lying face down. It seemed that a ruthless blow by the last train could have caused the end of this body which seemed to be that of a guy of around my age. Amidst the gory blood flow, I could see a folded white envelope which was fluttering in the midnight wind. Carefully I took the blood stained envelope and was surprised to see the phrase "appraisal letter" on it. With curiosity rising every moment, I wasted no time in opening the envelope to see if I can find some details about the dead guy. The tag around the body's neck and the jazzy appraisal cover gave me the hint that he might be a software engineer.

I opened the envelope to find a shining paper on which the appraisal details where typed in flying colors. Thunders broke into my ears and lightening struck my heart when I saw the appraisal amount of the dead guy!!!!! My God, it was not even, as much as the cost of the letter on which the appraisal details were printed.... My heart poured out for the guy and huge calls were heard inside my mind saying "no wonder, this guy died such a miserable death"... As a fellow worker in the same industry, I thought I should mourn for him for the sake of respect and stood there with a heavy heart thinking of the shock that he would have experienced when his manager had placed the appraisal letter in his hand. I am sure his heart would have stopped and eyes would have gone blank for few seconds looking at the near to nothing increment in his salary.

While I mourned for him, for a second my hands froze to see the employee's name in the appraisal letter...hey, what a strange co-incidence, this guy's name is same as mine, including the initials. This was interesting. With some mental strength, I turned the body upside down and found myself fainted for a second. The guy not only had my name, but also looked exactly like me. Same looks, same built, same name.... it was me who was dead there!!!!!!! ! While I was lost in that shock, I felt someone patting on my shoulders. My heart stopped completely, I could not breathe and sprung in fear to see who was behind...... ... Splash!!! Went the glass of water on my laptop screen as I came out of my wild dream to see my manager standing behind my chair patting on my shoulder saying, "Wake up man! Come to meeting room number two. I have your appraisal letter ready".

HR love letter

Ever wondered how a HR Manager could write a love letter to his girlfriend?
Hope you would enjoy it.


To, Ms. XYZ Agarwal 7.0 S.M

Sub: Offer of love!

Dearest Ms XYZ,

I am very happy to inform you that I have fallen in Love with you since the 20th of October (Thursday). With reference to the meeting held between us on the 19th of Oct. at 1500hrs, I would like to present myself as a prospective lover. Our love affair would be on probation for a period of three months and depending on compatibility, would be made permanent. Of course, upon completion of probation, there will be continuous on the job training and performance appraisal schemes leading up to promotion from lover to spouse. The expenses incurred for coffee and entertainment would initially be shared equally between us. Later, based on your performance, I might take! up a larger share of the expenses. However I am broadminded enough to be taken care of, on your expense account.

I request you to kindly respond within 30 days of receiving this letter, failing which, this offer would be cancelled without further notice and I shall be considering someone else. I would be happy, if you could forward this letter to your sister, if you do not wish to take up this offer.
Wish you all the best!
