Peanuts are better than...(short story)

One fine day Sisya approached Guruji with a professional problem. Sisya was the great IT professional, his work involved Java programming and all that great stuff. Yes! Google was his programming companion, like it is for most of silicon city programmers. That day he was upset and decided to get some eternal answers from Guruji for earthly problems.


Sisya asked Guru, 'Guruji, I am doing the most difficult job with all brilliance, I believe I am next to Bill Gates and Scott Adams, but I am being paid peanuts!!!'


Sisya has asked very important, highly ethical and moral question. Guruji looked in the direction of America and then in the direction of Japan, North and south. Threw his dices, calculated position of stars. Solved complicated equations of order 10.  Lot of labor. At last Guruji's faced brightened with enlightenment.


Then Guruji poured his wisdom on Sisya with great calmness, 


Sisya, peanuts are better than pink slips!'


Sisya lived happily ever after in silicon city!!!

I guess, if I was the Guru.. my answer would have been "Bill Gates/Scott Adams never got paid. They paid people" :-)

something to ponder over...
