Signposts… September 21

Business Lessons From Barfi | Pondicherry In Pictures

Barfi! has opened to great acclaim from critics and the audience. The simple story about a deaf and mute boy (Barfi played by Ranbir Kapoor), an autistic girl (Jhilmil played by Priyanka Chopra) and a girl (Shruti played by Ileana D’Cruz) from a different, normal world has touched the hearts of many. For one viewer, the film bears some great lessons which can inspire us to do the extraordinary and take the leap to become change-makers in life and business.

How many computer journalists does it take to change a light bulb?

Five. One to write a review of all the existing light bulbs so you can decide which one to buy, another one to write a remarkably similar one in another magazine the next month, a third to have a big one come out on glossy paper two months later that is by then completely out of date, a fourth to hint in her column that a completely new and updated bulb is coming out, and the fifth to report a rumour that the new bulb is shipping with a virus.
