M1 : 15
auto : 20 de dena
M1 : 15
auto : nahin jaana hai
M2: yaar 20 main chalte hain
M1: yaar i thought if we can incerease our search cost we can get a better deal!
M2 : you know he suddenly saw customers coming from other side as a result we were no more in monopsonistic competition hence he refused you.
M3: But in this way he also increased his implicit cost that might result in bad deal for him.

voila we really getting some management lessons..

Scene 2 : Manohar Restaurent Bhopal
Characters : waiter, M1,M2,M3
M2: Menu laana
waiter seems uninterested
M3: arey hum jaldi main hain, menu laana
M2: I think he is having attitude problem
M1: I think he is a demotivated employee
M3: Problem lies with his manager he might not know how to manage people at work places
M1: Its more to do with the structure of restaurent
M2: no its more to do with kind of monotonus work he is doing thats the reason for him getting demotivated.

Thats the thing about the management, you tend to give reasons for each and everything and then try to find the solutions of problem which does not exist. this reminds me of Behavioral Perspective to look at organization where solutions are in constant search of problem (humm!!!)

Consider if this scene happened 3 month earlier instead of 3 managers there would have been 3 engineers instead

E1: manohar ka kitna?
auto : 30
E1 : 15
auto :25 de dena
E1 : 15
auto : 20 de dena
E1 : 15
auto : nahin jaana hai
E2: yaar 20 main chalte hain
E1: arey saala c**** kaat raha hai ek do aur auto waale se pooche lenge toh sahi rate pata chal jaayega
E2: abey saala uss taraf se log aa rahe hain isliye saale ne rate kam nahin kiya
E3: MC ko aab ho sakta hai 15 rs ka nuksaan ho jaaye!!!

you see life of engineers is so much simpler and practical, less analysis and nearly same results

life at home is in real contrast with that on campus i am missing everything here, dal with cockroach inside, stray dogs of campus,sleep dprivation and something more, but still its gud to be at home for few days, so i am enjoying every bit of it with good food, abundant sleep and something less.
