SHANKAR'S SANIA

"Papa, one day, I will rule over this ocean",said Shankar to his father. His father was the captain of the ship. Later, when Shankar grew up, he created his own ship named as "Sania", in the name of his beloved wife.On a fantastic day of "Makar Sankranti", the "Sania"sailed into the ocean.

The passengers were happy, business was going well.But, there was a problem, the straight cut route they take to reach the destination, is a dangerous route, because every now and then, there is Hurricane storm. The fear of that storm, led to less passengers in the ship.Shankar changed his strategy. He started exploring the other alternative routes to reach the destination.

"Wow !, I have explored another route", said Shankar.The ship started its journey in that route. But, there are big rulers of that route. The whales and sharks, came into an agreement with Shankar, that your employees should feed us quality fishes, while your "Sania" is sailing in our route. So, Shankar deployed some good fishing ships and employees to feed the whales and the sharks.After few months, "Sania" has a competitor "The Cruise". They are also going by the same route, and attracting more passengers. So, now Shankar made an agreement with the "Pirates of the Caribbean", who will always attack "The Cruise",and they will get money from the "Sania" company.

Soon after an accounting year, a big ship named "Titanic" sank into the sea, in the same route. The passengers literally stopped travelling by any ship. The "Ship Industry"is in the mess. Shankar is now having losses. But, still he did the "Window Dressing"that , "Sania" is faring well. So, it attracted and retained some good passengers of that ship.But, in a loss scenario, Shankar took cost cutting measures by removing the fishing ships and he stopped paying the "Pirates of the Caribbean".

Then, on a special "Wednesday", "Sania" was attacked by the whales and pirates. Shankar was totally devastated."But what will happen to the passengers and the ship employees ?" - The Media asked. Then "The Cruise" came in to the picture and said "We will acquire the "Shankar's Sania", for the sake of those ship employees".Shankar could have ruled the ocean, if there would have been no "Cost Cutting"measures. He looked at the sky and told to his father "You were right papa, a captain cannot become a good corporate politician, and a good ruler needs to learn the basic politics".
