Nice one.....

During lunch break one afternoon at work, Rajgopalan and Shakaracharya were chatting….

Rajgopalan: Shankar, I've been working late every day since I have joined here & hence I got a promotion and very good bonus this appraisal.

Shankaracharya: How could it be Raj? Is that the only secret?

Rajgopalan: No, in the process of staying after office hours, I have also gathered a lot of General Knowledge; & my boss also asked me such questions at appraisal time.

Shankaracharya: Like what?

Rajgopalan: For example, do you know who is Graham Bell?

Shankaracharya: 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?

Shankaracharya: 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?

Shankaracharya: No

Rajgopalan: He's the author of "Confessions", if you spent more time in office after office hours you would know this!

This time, Shankaracharya got irritated and said:
Shankaracharya: And you, do you know who is Balachandra Appaswamy?

Rajgopalan: No

Shankaracharya: He's the guy roaming with your wife every evening !! If you stop spending more time in office after office hours, you would know this!

Moral: There is 'something' important in life than Work and General Knowledge Enjoy life.
