return of the raj

In the era of cost savings I would be pretty sacred to requisition a duster for my white board. So while I have a whiteboard I don’t have a duster. But hell, this is India and labor is ridiculously cheap. In fact it is so cheap that if I have to use my white board, I use it and scribble away as much as possible. Then to erase it I simply call housekeeping. They have a guy on every floor. He comes in with his magic spray and cleans the board. Sometimes I tell him to lean it completely and sometimes I tell him to leave a part of it. I wonder if getting black boards or cheaper than buying your own duster (and helps spread employment) we should soon start this as an outsourcing activity. Don’t wipe it – Bangalore it…
I am not fibbing here. This actually happened. Here … it’s a good thing I have my handy cell phone camera, else you guys just wouldn’t believe me. Would you? I could get used to this. Isn’t this remnant of the raj?
