I was resting yesterday after lunch, watching an old Rajesh Khanna + Firoz Khan film. Didn’t realise that I had fallen asleep. My mobile started ringing and I wasn’t sure if it was real or I was dreaming. Realised it was indeed a real call.
A former client was on line. He came straight to the point. “Hey Sridhar, I am planning to hire someone in our marketing team. I need your help.”
“Sure. Tell me how I can help.”
“I am looking for different kind of person.”
“What kind of person?”
“I want someone like a tube light starter.”
I wasn’t sure I heard him right. “Say that again.”
“I want to hire someone like a tube light starter.”
“Is that the only qualification?”
“It is the most important qualification. Rest is standard – young, ambitious, MBA etc. Work experience preferred but not essential.”
