At the bar in the Crown Plaza in Bangalore. After we convinced the bar to remain open for a last drink, Eleni inquired as to where all the people were. Apparently the hotel is full, because we struggled to get rooms, but there was not a soul in sight at 23:30. So the barman goes: "well madam, the other people staying here are real business people, they are going to go to work tomorrow". Eleni: "but we are business people - we are going to work tomorrow, what are you trying to say?!?". Barman: "Oh, I am not trying to say anything, would you like some ice for your drink."
Yeah that is (strangely) the Indian definition of "Real Business People"...
ReplyDeleteHere only those who own a family of self run business are considered business person.
So by that definition a small trader is a business person and CEO of large corporation is just a white collar employee!!
