Some food for thought!!!

Today as usual all of us friends were having lunch, when we hit upon a topic of Service Industry...
One of my friends comes to our office,which is situated in Gurgaon,in a car all the way from South Delhi.

This travel does not prove to him so costly, mainly because his car is a diesel Swift and gives him an average run of 16 k.m. per litre. With petrol hovering just below Rs. 50 (1$ = Rs. 46.5 ) and diesel a little above Rs. 30 the difference would average out as the diesel car requires maintenance.

But my dilliwallah friend is innovative...he says...He gives the car no maintenance, and any visit to garage means many more visits to the garage and more frequent breakdowns!!

Alas he spits it out... its something like we IT professionals, in out garages ;-) fix 1 bug and introduce 3 new bugs....so that the software remains in maintenance for ever and we keep loosening the purse strings of our clients!!! Long live outsourcing...Long live the IT industry...
