From Subzero To Superheats - Muniyandi's Gaffe

            This post is about cool Muniyandi. For those of you who are scratching their heads, think about the tall, bespectacled, soft spoken guy in the S8-Electronics-A batch of S.C.T. (Muniyandi is the name given to him recently by a disgruntled bus conductor of KSRTC). If KP was cool, Nambi was ice, then Muniyandi is what I would call Solid Carbon Dioxide. The dude is very phlegmatic, nonchalant and has a subzero temperament. Whatever happens he’s as cool as a cucumber (can’t help but use that cliché) and literally he walks cool with his head 5000 metres above sea level.

Scenario: Classroom in IMS

            We were about to have our quotidian Group Discussion when Gejo suggested that we do something different for a change. He split the 20 of us into groups of 2. Muniyandi got paired with the tall, bespectacled girl from Barton Hill college (yeah, you guessed it right, the one who comes in the black Kinetic Honda). The game was that everyone should answer 2 questions:-

1. Assume that your partner applied for a job in a leading multi-national corporation. Why do you think your partner should be selected into the company?

2. Why do you think your partner shouldn’t be selected into the company?

The game started. People began giving the mundane, hackneyed answers describing the communication skills, diligence, smartness, and basically a lot of crap about their partners. Muniyandi’s turn came.

Muni: I think the company should definitely hire her because she is very beautiful and hence can attract a lot of customers thereby accelerating the revenues of the company which in turn leads to an increase in the profit margin.

Absolute silence!! The girl started sweating profusely. Gejo still scratching his head about what he just heard. Meanwhile Muniyandi continued:

Muni: I think the company should definitely reject her because she is very beautiful and hence she will divert the attention of her co-workers towards her making them lousy in their jobs thereby reducing the productivity of the company.

The girl almost fainted by now. The whole class turned into a horde of laughing hyenas, in fact I guffawed so much that tears started flowing from my eyes. Heard that cool Muniyandi became hot that day, in fact his cheeks became hot that day, hot due to the impact of high-heeled footwear.
