Subject: One too many for Sunday?

In lighter vein

I just received an email from one of the contributors to the book L&T Stories “As per the trade practice, a contributor is supposed to get a complimentary copy. What should I do to get that?”

I could not delay replying. Here is what each contributor (roughly 40) has to do to get a complimentary copy.

1                   I have been working like crazy on this book, sometimes at 5 am and sometimes sleeping late. I have taken a lot of firing over the months from my wife. Each of you has to take 2.5% of that.

2                   I have devoted nothing less than 2 man months for the project (You may say that it is because of my inefficiency; we never got paid for efficiency; we got paid for number of days punched in.) At Rs 1 lakh a month, that would amount to Rs 2 lakhs. I am sure if I had continued as SAP consultant I would have earned more (may be I would have been dead by now).

3                   Professionals have helped me free. Their cost could be a lakh of rupees, if I were to pay.

4                   Tomorrow I am going to pay the publisher Rs 46,000.

So the total cost is around Rs 4 lakhs. Divided by 40, each person has to bear a cost of Rs 4000.

So anybody who wants a complimentary copy should send me a demand draft for Rs 4000.

I am eligible to get 10 complimentary copies as the person who pays the publisher. So each of us is eligible for one fourth of a copy of the book (you can chose which quarter of the 300 page book you would like to have). Else I will tear each copy and send each one who pays 75 pages, packing and forwarding extra.

If you want to join this bandwagon of enjoyment, please reply to all. If you want to fire me, do it with ‘reply to me only’.  I do not want to get fired by my wife more, though by now I have developed thick skin.
