English version

Saturday morning. Ms is busy with her office laptop. Mr walks by her, sipping tea.

Mr – Hey..What? Working on a Saturday?

Ms – Yeah..My team keeps delaying this project. It seems to me unless I take it and complete it, the job will never get done! Sigh. Lots of work today..

Mr – Ok..Let me know if you need any help.

Ms – Hmmm..Well, can you troubleshoot this issue and correct the problem?

Mr – Hello..I asked just out of formality! I’ve got lots of big plans for today! 

Ms – As if! Put your “big” plans aside and come look at this. Come on, you are such a brilliant guy..I could use that. You can finish this up in an hour, but I will take 2hours for me to complete this. I can save time this way right?

Mr – I know that you are just gonna watch a dumb TV show by saving that time..No way am I getting dragged into this ma!

Ms – ok..how about this..I will make an awesome bisi bela bath for lunch, if you complete this?

Mr – Hmm..tell me more.

Ms – More.

Mr – Shpaaa, you my lady, have an unmatched comedy sense. 

Ms – Ok fine, will add paapad to it.

Mr – Hmm..you could do even better..

Ms – Dei, either accept this or you’re gonna end up eating curd rice and doing the work anyways.

Mr – Hmm. Ok..deal accepted, now move over.

Mr – Thanksda! I will get your bisi bela bath ready now!

After ~2 hours..

Mr – Ok I’m done. 

Ms – Hmm, yayyy! I passed the test! Thanksda! I guess my Management class is useful afterall.

Mr – Huh?

Ms – You see..in my last class, they said the most important tip for a manager is to delegate work with positive encouragement and to offer proper incentive for teammates. I thought I will try it out on you first. I guess it worked! Awesome!

Mr – (rounds his eyes) Aah..so when you said I am brilliant?

Ms – (winks) Lol. You believed that? Well, whatever makes you happy dude! 

Mr – I’m gonna delete it all now..

Ms – Dei,dei, wait!!
