Appraisal.........



APPRAISAL

Appraisal ke naam par ek lambi aah bharte hain,
chaliye ab hum is "dukhad" kahani ki shuruat karte hain,

hamehsa ki tarah 10 baje thumakte hue office aya,
11 baje tak nashta kiya aur barah baje tak mail hi padh paya,

hamesha ki tarah aaj bhi mujhe alas aa raha tha,
aur mera PM mujhe tirchi nigaho se dekh-dekh gussa raha tha,

main bade concentration ke sath ek "Careful" mail padh raha tha,
tabhi dekha mere PM ke naam ka new mail kone main blink kar raha tha,

is mail ki amad se itna ghabara raha tha,
ki CLTR + F4 ki jagah shift + F5 daba rah tha,

phir koi trainig attend karni hogi, ye kya bakwas hai,
kya reply maim likh dun ki mere mailbox ka upwas hai ?

maine aankhen band ki aur 10 bar "om" "om" bola,
aur pranam karte hue maine wo mail khola,

PM ke is mail main ek ajeeb sa sukoon aur bholapan hai,
likha hai bhaiyon appraisal letters aa gaye,ab to one-to-one hai,

mujhe lag rah tha vb ke environment pe unix ka code likh diya ho kisi ne,
dil aise dhadak raha tha jaise baar baar dil pe double click kiya ho kisi ne,

man main aise bure bure khayal aa rahe the,
upar se kuch log mere "de-appraisal" ki gandi affvah uda rahe the,

appraisal aise aya jaise India main Michael Jackson aya ho,
jaise Indian football team ne ,Manchester United ko haraya ho,

PM ko letter late dekh har koi use dekhta jata hai,
jaise mallika ke kisi naye gane ko dekha jata hai,

akhir wo waqt aya,
PM ne ek ek kar sabko ander bulaya,

jo bhi ander jata hansta hua jata,
jo bahar ata , murjhaya hua ata,

jo bhi ander jata, sabko dekhte hue jata,
jaise hi bahar ata , sabse mooh chupata,

bahar aa kar insaan sambhal bhi nahi pata hai,
ki "kitna hua kitna mila" har koi uspe toot jata hai,

aisa lagta hai wo romm nahi "time machine" ho jo sabke ander leti ho,
aur "good time" se utha kar "bad time" main lakar chod deti ho,

kisi ko appraisal main 2000 rupaye mile the, main uski hansi uda raha tha,
tabhi maine dekha mera PM ishare se mujhe inder bula raha tha,

main confidence se utha aur age kadam badhaya,
tabhi meri belt ka buckle toot ke nikal aya,

meri halat to abhi se hi buri ho gayi,
sala izzat utarna to yahi se shuru ho gayi,

main ander pahuncha aur PM ne mujhe bithaya,
usne mera letter padha aur wo hansi rok na paya,

wo hansne laga aur hansta hi chala gaya,
use yaron hansi ka thaska a gaya,

wo itna hansa ki use ansu aa gaye,
mere appraisal digits use itne bha gaye,

jaise hi usne appraisal letter meri taraf badhaya,
meri ankhon ke age ghanghor andhera chaya,

mujhe laga jaise meri dil ki deewar ko kisi ne gobar se pota hai,
are yaar "bees rupaye" ? ye bhi koi increment hota hai ?

ye software indusrty hai akhada nahi hai,
ye "SALARY INCREMENT" hai , Dadar ane-jane ka bhada nahi hai,

meri charon taraf kali ghata chayi,
tabhi mere PM ki soothing awaz ayi,

tum soch rahe hoge ke companuy mgmt ka dimag phir gaya hai,
par beta hum kya karen , dollar ka bhav 2 rupaye jo gir gaya hai ,

par phir bhi mujhe lagta hai, ye letter fake hai,
mujhe to lagta hai ye printing mistake hai,

tum HR main jao,
aur ye confirm karke ao,

bhai HR main jane ke liye taiyyar hona padta hai,
wahi to aisi jagah hai jahan sunder ladkiyon se pala padta hai,

shitt!! jahan "Ronak" baith ti hai, aaj whan baitha "Aftab" hai,
main samajh gaya beta, aaj apna badluck hi kharab hai,

usne mera letter khola,
aur khush ho ke bola,

wo bola sir aap ke liye khushkhabri hai,
aap ke letter ne "Printing mistake" pakdi hai,

maine kaha boss ab der na lagayen ,
aur mujhe mera actual amount batayen,

sorry sir ye mistake just by accident hai,
bees rupaye nahi , do rupaye aap ka increment hai,

main kya karun aap ko ye batete hue mera dil ro raha hai,
par kya karen dollar ka bhav bhi to kam ho raha hai,

main bas wahan khada tha ,kuch samajh nahi aa raha tha,
mujhse zyada increment to security wala pa raha tah,

maine khud ko sambhala, khud ko uthaya ,
main lauta aur seedhe PM ke pass aya,

main seedha uske cabin gaya aur darwaza khola,
is se pehle ki wo bole, main hi us se bola,

sir ye paise wapis le lijiye, baat karna fizool hai,
main gareeb hun, par bheekh nahi leta ye mera usool hai,


doston ek ant main ek shayari --

"appraisal aisa laddu hai ,jise khane ka har kisi ka khwab hota hai,
par ek bar koi ise kha le , to bada bhayankar julaab hota hai,"

What happens in an indian hell?

An Indian dies and goes to hell. There he finds that there is a different hell for each country. He goes first to the German hell and asks "What do they do here?" He is told "First they put you in an electric chair for an hour. Then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour. Then the German devil comes in and whips you for the rest of the day."

The man does not like the sound of that at all, so he moves on. He checks out the USA hell as well as the Russian hell and many more. He discovers that they are all more or less the same as the German hell.

Then he comes to the Indian hell and finds that there is a very long line of people waiting to get in. Amazed he asks "What do they do here?"

He is told "First they put you in an electric chair for an hour.Then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour. Then the Indian devil comes in and whips you for the rest of the day."

But that is exactly the same as all the other hells - why are there so many people waiting to get in? "Because maintenance is so bad >that>>the electric chair does not work, someone has stolen all the nails from the bed, and the devil is a former Govt servant, so he comes in, signs the register and then goes to the cafeteria..."

Women are extremely determined

The FBI had an opening for an assassin. After all the background checks,

interviews and testing were done, there were 3 finalists; two men and a

woman. For the final test, the FBI agents took one of the men to a large

metal door and handed him a gun. "We must know that you will follow our

instructions no matter what the circumstances. Inside the room you will

find your wife sitting in a chair . . . Kill her!!"


The man said, "You can't be serious. I could never shoot my wife." The

agent said, "Then you're not the right man for this job. Take your wife

and go home."


The second man was given the same instructions. He took the gun and went

into the room. All was quiet for about 5 minutes. The man came out with

tears in his eyes, "I tried, but I can't kill my wife." The agent said,

"You don't have what it takes. Take your wife home."


Finally, it was the woman's turn. She was given the same instructions, to

kill her husband. She took the gun and went into the room. Shots were

heard, one after another. They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the

walls. After a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and

there stood the woman, wiping the sweat from her brow. "This gun was

loaded with false bullets" she said. "I had to beat him to death with the

chair!!"


MORAL: Women are extremely determined.. Don't mess with them?

For God's sake where do u want it..

In a Test between India and the West Indies, the fiery Wes Hall was sending quivers down the Indian spine. The new batsman walked slowly to the crease feeling like a lamb at the slaughterhouse.

As the great bowler thundered in, suddenly he stood up in the crease, and signaled that he wanted the sightscreen adjusted. Adjustments were made and the bowler was ready to come in again.

Once again, in the middle of bowler’s run-up, the batsman found something disturbing in the sightscreen. This went on a few times before the irritated umpire walked up to the batsman and enquired, "Where do you want the sight screen, for God's sake?"

The trebling batsman asked, "Could I have it between him and me?"






Banta facing Brett Lee..

Banta is selected to play for the Indian cricket team as an opening batsman in a one-day game against Australia. He came down to face the first over from Brett Lee who is bowling at his fiercest.
First ball: Whizzes past Banta 's off-stump. Banta doesn't move an inch. Ball goes to the wicket keeper.

Second ball: Goes right over the Banta 's bat and just over the middle stump missing both the bat and the stumps. Banta is again unmoved.

Third ball: Is a bouncer and misses Banta 's head by a fraction of an inch. Yet Banta is unmoved.
Fourth ball: Outside the leg-stump. Banta doesn't move and the ball shoots past him to the wicket keeper. But this time, the umpire shouts "No Ball!"

Banta walks up to the umpire and tells him, "So you discovered it now? You see, I know from the very beginning this guy has no ball in his hand!"






Karate Class

Banta was a not too smart kind of guy. Everyday when he walked home from work, he would get stopped by three nasty men and they would beat him up and steal his money.

Finally, Banta decided that it would serve his best interest to walk a different route and then take up some self-defense classes so this wouldn't happen again. He joined a karate class and soon was doing very well to defend himself.

So, one day, on the way home from work Banta took his old route home and sure enough there they were. He walked up to them and the battle ensued. The next afternoon Banta went to his karate class with a black eye, a broken nose and a busted lip.

His instructor, shocked, asked him what happened.

"Well," explained Banta , "I took my old way home last night so I could beat these guys up who were stealing my money, but they beat me up before I could get my shoes and socks off!"
