Darwin’s ‘survival of the fittest’ theory proved wrong

There are predominantly two types of creatures that walk on this earth – one who dominates and the other who is always dominated. While this dominant will see to it that others adjust themselves according to his/ her needs, the other humble, inferior, modest being would go to great extend (knowingly or unknowingly) to comply to the needs of the former.

Darwin’s theory of ‘survival of the fittest’ here has been proved totally wrong. The perfect ‘mundu‘ is the case in point, where this inferior creature can co-exist with its dominant variety. The genes of the mundu creature are simplistic in nature and reacts suitable to the calls of the superior dominant variety – running errands ranging from washing its clothes, tiding its room or simply tolerating or even so doing what this superior dominant creature should have been doing for itself. The mundu creature never complains – one characteristic scientists are now study to identify this super gene and utilise it in plants in famine infested areas of the country.

Now the characteristics of the superior dominant creature: This is more of a virus, a small infectious agent that can replicate only inside the living cells of organisms. Ideally it is too small to be seen directly but after several mutations it has now taken the shape of a human, making it difficult for scientists to identify, separate and destroy them. This virus is a result of parents’ pampering and is most likely to be found in the middle-class populated areas. Ideally it attacks the mundu via vicinity contact and eats up its immune system, making the mundu its virtual slave.

The virus cannot detect the basic duties of a human being and thus gets these duties fulfilled via the mundu creature. There are times when the mundu retaliates this virus, although the occurrence of the mundu fighting back is very rare and scientists believe that such behaviour of the mundu is one in 10 billion. After the superior dominant virus attacks the mundu creature, it usually resorts to blogging as it is doing now.

Notes: The word ‘mundu‘ is a slang in Hindi language meaning a person who runs errands for others or a slave that has been exploited by its master(s).

Flexi office timings – what the F!

It’s so Indian – if someone tries to do something good for you, he has to be seen with suspicion. Now my HR Department decides to come up with flexi-timings, and here we are discussing why! How is the management profiting? Are we being made to work more for less money being paid? Well, Well! My benefits? They come much later.

With the mail confirming that the flexi-timings would be applicable from September, the mid-management or the mid-level manager along with its trusted ones went into a huddle. The motive was to manipulate the policy to suit his near and dear ones. If his colleague-friend is tagging along with someone else (read ‘me’) for his daily commuting, he will now bend the provisions in the policy so that it complies with the timings of his friend.

While I have two colleagues with whom I have to co-ordinate to get my timings to office right, I almost forgotten the third one who had made a late appearance to the scene in commuting along with me and incidentally the friend of this manager. So one can understand what my timings will be.

So tomorrow is my judgment day. I can either come and go at a suitable time that fits my bill or can make changes so as to suit the purpose of this gentleman whose very sight gives you the creeps and you start hating yourself for being such a loser to be working in the same office with him. Knowing me, I will probably silently suffer and vent out my frustrations blogging again tomorrow. I need a miracle!
