Krish Shrikanth – double role?!
I am sure most of my readers by now know where I worked last – in case you aren’t sure just mail me and I will confirm. It so happened….
it was a cricket series, and our company booked our retired star opener Krish Shrikanth for a live chat sessions. The deal was - he would chat live on the Internet with the audience just after each match was over, and he would share his opinions about the match with all the Netizens who come online. Things were perfect, till he thought of transferring the power of (ch)attorney to the sports editor!
Krish gave the power of chatting to the sports editor, and said he (sports editor) can chat using his (Krish’s) name, as he (Krish) would be busy with some other work. They both agreed upon. The sports editor would come online as Krish Shrikanth every evening at 6 pm and would chat live as Krish till 7 pm.
The editor enjoyed being in the limelight, as the questions thrown to him were very analytical. And also who would otherwise chat with him, if he had announced him as a mere sports editor?
It went on well for a week, till Krish forgot something very important.
Krish Shrikanth was so confused with his schedule that, he okayed being on a TV channel at 6 pm on one of the days, and didn’t even bother to inform the sports editor about his latest plans.
The Sports Editor, as usual, would think himself to be Krish Shirkanth at 6 pm, snuffle a couple of times, login as Krish, and chat with the audience. Thank God the editor didn’t have a bat, or else he would have hurled it a couple of times too. The editor didn’t keep the TV on. And some lucky browser/bugger was browsing the Internet keeping his TV ‘on’, and he found Krish Shrikanth on the TV live!!!
He immediately messaged the dummy Krish (the sports editor) on the chat interface, how come you are present both on TV and also on the Internet? The sports editor logged out!!!
