“Looking at the SWOT analysis, its apparent that the firm is very weak financially and has limited core competencies.Considering the market forces that is controlling this industry,its seems that the best way to save this company is to divest.”

DJ was ebbing with his intelligence.He eyes were focused with a fire in them.He loves to sound intellectual especially when the audience has no clue what he is talking about.It makes him feel he is special, a cut above the rest.

“Alternatively there is one more way to save this company. SYNERGY ....that's the key.If the firm can identify suitable partners in the upward or downward stream of the supply chain and synergize with them,then the combined financial gain,R&D strength will definitely will boost their chances of their survival”

But this time the guy who was listening to him was not a novice...he was a maverick,much more smarter than DJ.He was loosing patience with DJ's lengthy explanation bcoz he had already decided what he is going to say.However he continued listening to give DJ his small happiness of sounding like a strategist.

“I definitely think Synergy is only solution for survival.for example if u look at this scenario they can partner with the vendor supplying the machinery so that they can assemble their own customized assembly lines with improved R&D increasing production & efficiency. What do you think? “

“Nah..I don't see a strategic fit in this and i don't think synergy is the solution in this scenario” image

Its was RJ who said this.

RJ is the one of the popular kid who everybody knows and important thing is he also knows everybody by their names. He is one of those whiz kids one might find in prestigious institutions.He always made it to the toppers list, though he spends most of the time in exploring new places and making new friends.He talks with a cool & confident air which makes anyone believe whatever he is saying.

But very few close friends like DJ knows many at the times he keeps bluffing .Nothing evil.but just for fun.He is not very serious like DJ.Because he believes he can be the best in anything he does.

DJ : if synergy is not the solution then wat else??

RJ: The best thing to do will be to license out this technology which is the only good thing they have,sell all production units,pay their debts.Then set up R&D centers from the license fee. The royalty fee from sales ensures a steady income stream.Since the technology is good,that will ensure good sales,which is sufficient to cover the R&D operating costs.

DJ was dumbstruck and felt even dumber.He thought "man, how does he do that??". He always does this.Gives one answer and cleans up all the crap thrown at the table.

DJ:hmm that makes sense...wow look at the time its 8.30... wat plans for dinner?

RJ:nothing guess i will go home,at least i will eat @ home today...

DJ:hehehehe k...how about coffee?

RJ:good life? (its a milk brand)

DJ:yep

RJ:Sure i will have coffee.

DJ:okies....i will get the coffees

RJ:kewl....i will start the draft meanwhile

Just that time ....DJ's mobile rang....DG CALLING

DJ :just a minute
RJ:sure

DJ:hellos

hmm

DJ then realised sumthing.. dinner... dinner@home.. coffee good life...oh no....

DJ realised he came out of the room for the call..he went inside and saw RJ packing his stuff...

DJ:Dude why u packing?

RJ:I have finished the draft ,i have mailed you..its getting late..i already got a call from home...

DJ:Dude just wait..i will make the coffee 2 mins..

RJ:hehehehee its ok dude..if i had coffee now i can't eat properly...next time i will have it sure....hope u don't get any long distance calls :P

DJ:hey c'mon,,,it was DG only

RJ:hmm i saw...i didn't know u guys started talking..i mean u know...daily basis ....n stuff

DJ:nonono no no nonono..its not like that..

RJ:8 NO's? seriously...?

DJ:i meant No... i mean ..the thing is she has joined work na so she has shifted to a hostel and it will take some time before she gets internet..since we used to chat daily..for the time being we just call each other.....

RJ:oh ok.....anyways all the best

DJ:dude?

RJ:for the report hehehehe

DJ:u scared me

RJ:don't worry its all good....

DJ:ok then...catch you tomo....i will call u ....say by 5?

RJ:sure..MG road?

DJ:Yep..

RJ:kewl... Bye Ciao

DJ:Bye

RJ:i will ping u later...hehehe anyways ur not using Gtalk much nowadays :P

DJ:DUDE!! c'mon

RJ:ok ok...bye now..i gotta run

DJ:bye

*************
DJ put a lil pepper on the pasta (he likes a pepper a lot) and just when he closed the lid....his phone rang "DG calling"

DJ:hellos

DG:u said u will call ..

DJ:i was abt to call

DG:ur so cheap.. saving ur phone bill??

DJ:yeah rite... RJ was leaving .. thats why i cut the call

DG:u cut my call again..i will kill you....is that clear?

DJ:yes mam..Crystal

DG:huh?

DJ:i meant Crystal Clear

DG:good....had dinner?

DJ:not its cookinggggggggggggg OH no my pasta.... listen i will call u back ....

DJ threw the mobile on the table and thought "she's gonna kill me for this"
& then ran into the kitchen to save his dinner.

HAPPY EID EVERYONE :)

The Geek & The Ghost 13

thud dud thud dud thud dud thud dud…………………DJ was running again.

It was a long,dark, lonely highway.

Running away from the world…. the world which is “full of practicality” Running away from the so called “reality”……As he ran the same images that used to haunt him kept coming again.he kept running towards the faint light at the end of the road.

The light grew closer…interestingly the light  was getting dimmer as he got close to it…. 

As  he approached the light… he could see the source of light… there was a face…… but it was not the same …it was not her ...it was not the face that stole his sleep…this was different…… .it was someone else…he heard a giggle, the girl was laughing….

DJ couldn’t stop …he ran towards her ….then he felt something different…

zzzzoooooooooopppppp……It was a sudden pull… a gravity pull…he was falling…..aaaahhhhhh…………HUH???

but this time there was no sea,

there were no rocks…

instead he heard

OYE!!

DJ : wat the hell?

DG was standing up on the stairs and was calling him.

DG: oye…come fast

DJ looked around and thought ‘you have gotta be kidding me’

DG: u fool …i am calling u only… come fast

then she continued to walk up the stairs and disappeared in the darkness

DJ: damn..this is not happening

He climbed up the stairs and reached a porch.and a tall building like a church..there was huge door denoting there is a huge hall inside.He saw her entering inside.

He approached the door and he almost froze.His old school watchman was sitting beside it.

 “is it really you uncle?”

“of course its me..now hurry up.. everyone’s waiting”

DJ was utterly confused  “everyone???”

He finally entered the building

and it was a huge hall and suddenly he was hit by loud music ‘AAJ KI RAAT…’was blaring in the speakers

IT WAS A PARTY!!!

DJ was thinking ‘wat in the world is going on here??’

and then he noticed the crowd …it was really everyone …everyone from his life..the very ones he was running from… hiding from….his school friends,old neighbors, college friends,his teachers , girls he had a crush on,..and he heard someone calling…

“ah ! there you are.. we were waiting for you”

DAD!!

“first look wat is he wearing” (he was in sweatshirt and tracks)

MOM!!

DAD: yes u must change now..there’s fresh set in that room

MOM: first wash your face..u look so sleepy

DJ was staring at them blankly

MOM: wat you looking.. go go

DJ went inside the room and changed amidst all the confusion.when he came out he saw a girl passing by in the corridor.He couldn’t see her clearly.he went behind he could see her dressed in a long white dress with white wings she was dressed as an angel..DJ became very curious and stepped up .but she was moving swiftly through the passage..suddenly out of nowhere DG appeared.

oye… where you think you are going?

hey… no ..i…i thought  i saw someone

which girl ur following?

.no ..yes …yeah… i mean ..white dress .. how did u know it was a girl??

you guys are all the same…i am waiting here and your running behind some  girl

it was not some girl..she..she was like an angel

and i look like a ghost to you??

DJ noticed that even she had dressed up…

arrey no ..you look great

hmm …you look good too

thank you.but can you pls tell me whats going on??

cant you see ….its a party!! come come

and she pulled his hand and ran to the hall..they entered and the music dj shouted “look finally the real DJ is here” and spinned off Bon Jovi’s “Its My life”

And the crowd clapped and hooteed “wooohoooo” some shook hands wid him girls waved at him ..friends lifted him up…and then…

BOOM   a banner opened “Welcome Back DJ” and party poppers exploded and the party was officially on…

and his friends   who were carrying him finally got him on the ground and he was searching for DG..but she seem to have disappeared…he looked around and saw everyone..it was everyone he loved and cared about more importantly it was everyone who loved and cared about him…

the dj spinned off “Its the time to DISCO” and the people started joining hands and forming a train…suddenly DG was there and grabbed his hand and they joined the dance train…..and he had to scream becoz of the loud music..

wats all this

you still didnt get it?

no…Welcome back to??

Life

wat

LIFE IS A BIG PARTY MACHA….KEEP DANCING AS MUCH YOU CAN….

huh?

life is short so ENJOY MADI DI DI DI DID IDING DING DING DING DING DI DING DING DING …DJ killed the alarm…it was 7 am

DJ couldn’t believe it was all a dream..he was wondering how come his usual nightmare changed into a big party dream…even then his sleep was not disturbed

hmm so you keep alarm to get up @ 7am??? how lazy are you?

DJ heard his mom’s voice.he got up and realized he was @ home..he had come for a short holiday

hehehehe 7 am is early morning in Bangalore.

get up and freshen up… coffee is ready…

hmm ok..

DJ suddenly missed DG..he realized he hasn’t spoken to her since he came home.He got up,freshened up ,,grabbed the coffee cup and went to the balcony and rang up to her mobile.As soon as she picked she started screaming

oye…you alive ?? you went home and completely forgot me huh?

DJ’s face lit up with  huge smile …then he calmly said

hellos
