Who? Me??

Random musings which I rather not say out loud :)

BMW

with 6 comments


When I was a programmer in IRIS, I always used to dream of starting my own technology firm. One of my very good friends always used to kid around that I would have to hire her as a CTO for my firm. The moment I would oblige her by saying, why not … she would come to the topic of remuneration (smart one, yes she is). So one day I gave in and say magnanimously … bol bachha, kya chahiye tumhe … pat would come the answer … a BMW.

The answer would more or less have me confounded. Why a BMW? Of all the things … BMW? Today I took a test drive in a BMW. Now I know why. Smart choice girl.

The managing director of the firm for which I work (eYantra) was in the process of evaluating a BMW … needless to say, most of the core team was invited for the evaluation. Why would I say no? And on the D-Day, the car came … a black shimmering sleek 320i BMW. A statement. A 35 lakh statement … look I am here … here, I am. The interiors were upholstered leather with wooden panelling. The entire car is packed with so many engineering marvels that its a small wonder its so small and sleek.

Whilst I was raving to my friend Phani, he asked me a simple question … would you put in 35L to buy a BMW??

Fortunately, I am not going to start a technology firm :-)

    the difference this time is that YOU are the CTO, and the MD gets a BMW. poor you :)

    might as well start a company of your own.
