Who's The Boss...??....Angela...??....Tony....??

Scientists at the Rocket launching station in Thumba, were in the habitof working for nearly 12 to18 hours a day. There were about Seventy such scientists working on aproject. All the scientists were really frustrated due to the pressureof work and the demands of their boss but everyone was loyal to him anddid not think of quitting the job.One day, one scientist came to his boss and told him - Sir, I have
promised to my children that I will take them to the exhibition going onin our township. So I want to leave the office at 5 30 pm.His boss replied - O K, , You are permitted to leave the office earlytoday.The Scientist started working. He continued his work after lunch. Asusual he got involved to such an extent that he looked at his watch whenhe felt he was close to completion.The time was 8.30 p.mSuddenly he remembered of the promise he had given to his children. Helooked for his boss,,He was not there. Having told him in the morningitself, he closed everything and left for home.Deep within himself, he was feeling guilty for having disappointed hischildren.He reached home. Children were not there.His wife alone was sitting inthe hall and reading magazines. The situation was explosive, any talkwould boomerang on him.His wife asked him - Would you like to have coffee or shall I straightaway serve dinner if you are hungry.The man replied - If you would like to have coffee, i too will have butwhat about Children???Wife replied- You don't know - Your manager came at 5 15 p.m and hastaken the children to the exhibition.What had really happened wasThe boss who granted him permission was observing him working seriouslyat 5.00 p.m. He thought to himself, this person will not leave the work,but if he has promised his children they should enjoy the visit toexhibition. So he took the lead in taking them to exhibitionThe boss does not have to do it everytime. But once it is done, loyaltyis established.That is why all the scientists at Thumba continued to work under theirboss eventhough the stress was tremendous.

By the way , can you hazard a guess as to who the boss was????????


He was the president of India Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam.
See! what a gem of a man we have up there.......even if all of us do not unanimously agree with the idea of him going for a second term(though i cannot for the life of me understand why..)..we must make an effort to have someone who atleast lives upto the standards he has set,if not raise them..
