Story in every office…
this is a forward that I got….I have added a few Ramayan characters…the forward had only Mahabharata characters….
Dronacharya:
The Mentor. The employee who doesn’t like working himself but is always ready to guide and train new joiners.
Bhishma:
The Loyal. The employee in a relatively senior position who happily assists the boss in spite of knowing his incompetence (because of some strange oath maybe)
Dhritarashtra:
The blind boss. He knows that everything is wrong with his project but will still let it function, without making any changes to the current processes.
Gandhari:
The Yesmen/Women. Boss’s immediate juniors who know that they are a part of an evil plan but will stay blindfolded and pretend as if nothing is happening.
Yuddhisthira:
The ethical guy. Poor chap would never fudge timesheets and call in sick only when he is dying.
Bheema:
The angry resource. Always ready to pick up a fight with his peers, subordinates or even the bosses.
Arjuna:
The cool dude. The star performer who also knows how to sell his skills. A natural charmer, very famous among the ladies.
Nakul & Sahdev:
The good average resource. No one notices them. They keep doing their work and get average appraisals.
Duryodhana:
The Bully. Knows how to get work done, by hook or by crook. Doesn’t mind threatening the likes of Nakul and Sahdev to get his work done.
Karna:
The unsung hero. The best performer in the office but never claims credit for his work. Stays an unsung hero for all his life. Girls take him for a snobbish nerd.
Shakuni:
The evil plotter. Copies management in every mail. Escalates every trivial issue, sometimes to take credits and sometimes purely for fun.
Dhristadyumna:
The One inning wonder. The one who performs an extraordinary feat, and then basks in the glory of it for the rest of his life.
Draupadi:
The shared resource. Keeps hopping projects on boss’s advice.
Krishna:
The Ultimate Boss (MD/CEO) who knows that it is his game.
Hanuman:
The guy who has been around for long and can find anything that the company has done/ achieved /not done in the past.
Lakshman:
The boss’s junior partner in the business. To the outside world looks like a Yes man, but is a very useful resource. Will fight with the boss only inside closed doors.
Ravana:
The boss who calls a meeting typically to say “I will not return Sita and I have a great army…now tell me should I go to war”. Gives people a feeling of democracy. It is actually a dictatorship.
Anand
Excellent Subra.

sir,
you got it wrong about nakul and sahadev. it is not that nobody notices them, just people dont know about them in mahabaratha
nakulan is the most handsomest man on earth
sahadevan is the most knowledgeable man with wisdom and higher moral standard than yudishtra on earth.
duryodanan consulted sahadevan for fixing the auspicious date for the war eventhough he was enemy. because he knew sahadevan will tell the truth and is a master of his astrology.
you wont see such people at all.

EPIC shows Dharmashketra on Tuesdays at 9 PM. Very well made.

Subra Sir,
I did not understand where the Lakshman and Ravana came into Mahabharata. Seems a Hybrid Product
