Bill Gates organized an enormous session to recruit a new Chairman for Microsoft Europe. 5000 candidates assembled in a large room. One candidate is Debdas Banerjee, a Bengali . Bill Gates thanked all the candidates for coming and asked those who did not know JAVA program to leave.2000 people left the room. Debdas says to himself, 'I do not know JAVA but I have nothing to lose if I stay. I'll give it a try'
Bill Gates asked the candidates who never had experience of managing more than 100 people to leave. 2000 people leave the room. Debdas says to himself ' I never managed anybody but I have nothing to lose if I stay. What can happen to me?' So he stays. Then Bill Gates asked candidates who do not have management diplomas to leave. 500 people leave the room. Debdas says to himself, 'I left school at 15 but what have I got to lose?' So he stays in the room. Lastly, Bill Gates asked the candidates who do not speak Serbo - Croat to leave. 498 people leave the room. Debdas says to himself,' I do not speak one word of Serbo - Croat but what do I have to lose?' So he stays and finds himself with one other candidate. Everyone else has gone.
Bill Gates joined them and said 'Apparently you are the only two candidates who speak Serbo - Croat, so I'd now like to hear you have a conversation together in that language.' Calmly, Debdas turns to the other candidate and says 'Ki cholchhe dada. Kemon achho.'
The other candidate answers ' bhalo achhi beche achi bhai'.
