Kidnapping by a sardar!!!!!!!!!!

There was a Sardarji who was down on his luck. In order to raise some
money he decided to kidnap a kid and hold him for ransom.

He went to the playground, grabbed a kid, took him behind a tree and
told him , "I've kidnapped you."

Sardarji then wrote a note saying: "I've kidnapped your kid.

Tomorrow morning, put Rs.2,00,000 in a paper bag and put it beneath the
mango tree on the north side of the city playground".

Signed: "A Sardarji".

Sardarji then pinned the note to the kid's shirt and sent him home to
show It to his parents.

The next morning the Sardarji checked, and sure enough a paper bag was
kept beneath the mango tree. The boy was sitting next to the bag.
Sardarji opened Up the bag and found the Rs.2 ,00,000 in cash with a
note saying: "How can a sardarji do this to a fellow Sardarji? Take the
money, and Please leave my son."

Google or Microsoft which is better?

Google or Microsoft which is better place to work?

• Here is an insight into the differences in the work cultures of Google & Microsoft.
  
• Also check out the cool Google Office "spy" snaps.
• There are few good points in the article, which any organization (including Sun) can adopt from these work cultures, to attract/retain employees, here is the short list :
• Free food ( 3 times a day )
• Tech Stop, its a great idea in imo.
• Pool table, Gym & other recreation activity.
• Flat Management hierarchy.

Wish some organizations will improve after reading this post ;-)
