Zac Manchester a US student of
Cornell University is developing 30cm long satellite which will contain nearly
200 smaller satellites about the size of a postage stamp. These can be used by &
as individual personal satellites.
Now this could lead to a barrage
of new uses & innovative instruments. Also banking might be affected in a big
way. It’s a serious issue & hence I proceeded to discuss with my Zonal
Manager or ZM nicknamed The Baldy. The nickname The Baldy is self explanatory
& need not be referred to google search.
Though our Zonal Office is well
equipped with latest gadgets & computers but The Baldy sparsely uses these.
Once in a while he likes to see old Hindi films starring Mumtaz on his desktop.
While presenting him a cutting of
this news I said:
-Sir this new personal satellite
may be very useful item for you. Communication shall be clear & 24*7 with
live news & photos etc. This satellite will continue to work uninterrupted
if ever you decide to go to Moon or Mars & settle there after retirement
sir. So many possibilities & opportunities are there for after retirement
business sir.
-Hmm.
-Should I book one for you sir?
Only $ 399/- sir & it is well within your vested expenditure power.
-Hmm.
-I suggest sir officer union elected
Netas may also be provided with personal satellites so that communications are
easier & management relations remain cordial. It will keep them in good
humour & they will be raising lesser demands for other officers. They have
a long wish-list of transfers & promotions of their Chamchas, revocation of
certain suspensions as well as of getting certain other officers suspended. You
are well aware of this sir. So you shall
have an upper hand in meetings with them sir. Of course they shall be eligible
for smaller one of lesser capacity costing $ 299/-. And some concession will be
available if we go for bulk booking.
-Hmm.
Then he wrote OK on the file
& threw it back to me. The Baldy lowered his spec’s, cleared his throat
& ordered:
-Hmm. Don’t you inform my wife.
