Sameer,Rajgopal and Satindra were at a convention together and were
having rooms on the top of a hotel which was 75 story sky scraper.
After a long day of meetings, they were shocked to hear that the
elevators in their hotel were broken and they would have to climb
75 flights of stairs to get to their room. Sameer said to Rajgopal and
Satindra, let’s break the monotony of this unpleasant task by
concentrating on something interesting. I’ll tell jokes for 25
flights, and Satindra can sing songs for 25 flights, and Rajgopal can
tell sad stories the rest of the way. At the 26th floor Sameer
stopped telling jokes and Satindra began to sing. At the 51st floor
Satindra stopped singing and Rajgopal began to tell sad stories. “I will
tell my saddest story first,” he said. “I left the room key in
the car!”
The world is made of stairs and there are those who go up and those who go down. Sometimes you go up to go down and sometimes it’s the reverse.
