Management advice
Published by Yazad Jal May 18th, 2005 in StimulantsPoor Abhijeet Sawant (the Indian Idol with a Rs. 1 crore contract) has a problem. (scroll right down for this part)
“I want to keep a driver but the kind of schedule I keep from early morning to late night, I don’t think any driver would survive.There are so many commitments and functions to attend, so I drive myself all the while.”
Dear Abhijeet, I propose a simple solution. Hire two drivers (you’ve got the money to pay them dude!) and get them to work in shifts. Voilà! Problem solved. And that will be Rs. 10,000 in consultancy charges. (Yes, you can afford that too!)

And this is exactly how consultants make a living… offering advice that is mostly obvious and often inane to people who do not want it!
Or better still,let him not use the car.
AFAIK,the public transport system in mumbai is excellent.He would escape the notice of autograph hunters as they wouldn’t expect SAWANT in a train.
Test
yet another test
Whats with all the testing Madhu?
Why are we littering Yaz’s blog?
Since I manage this site, I have executive privileges others don’t, Saket.
The tests were required because MT has been flaky lately.
Well, you give cheap advice, and hence the advice is also flawed. Hiring the second driver is always a problem. Let’s say the drivers switch at 15:00 in the afternoon; how will the driver know where the car is? Given a star’s life, you never have a schedule that can be followed strictly, and who’s going to pay for the 2nd drivers commuting TO work (car), since the driver will have to go to all sorts of remote locations, etc?
Here’s how we can solve the problem: Have the 2 drivers back up as make up men; a make up man’s job is not so strenuous, but just like a driver, needs to be there all the time. So that way, the two drivers can always be there in the car, they only exchange roles in the middle of the day.
That will be 20,000 rupees please.
