Scanadalam Part 1.
What happened, how it happened and who did it? In my earlier post I speculated about more people being involved and well, it seems that some very intelligent people are about to confirm this fact. They might tell that they do not have the liberty to speculate on things but rather have to back it up with concrete evidence. Well, I am sure that they are still speculating only and have not found any concrete proof yet but due to dilly dallying they have given those people enough time to cover at-least a part of their tracks. And kyon naa ho brother, people like IAS officer, Police personnel, senior politicians and many other important person seems to be involved.
Well I have a simple story to tell about how it was made possible. It goes like this. Once upon a time there lived two brothers in a small city. They start a sweet shop as the whole city was crazy about sweets at that point of time. Due to the presence of some famous shops around, not a single customer walked into the shop. The same thing happened on day 2 as well. The local municipality required all the shops to maintain their account books properly and they published a ranking of the sweet shops in the locality.
The weekend was still two days ahead and then the brothers came with a strategy to cook their books. The next day they called all their relatives for a feast in their sweet shop. Their family, friends of family and even neighbours of the family friends came for free sweets. And that was the day when the fortune of the sweet shop changed forever. It topped the ranking based on sales that week, next week and for many weeks thereafter. It became the best shop of the city, district, state and even of the country. Everyone just loved it and liked it. It became a case study in many business schools and the owners became the most popular businessmen in the country.
Only few people knew what happened exactly but as most of them had free sweets on day1 and were having shares of the listed company with them, they kept quiet. What exactly happened that Ram sold half the sweets to Rama and received money. Rama distributed those sweets among his family members. Then Rama sold the rest of the sweets to Ram and got back his money. Ram distributed those sweets among his family members.
Everyone had free sweets, technically all the sweets were sold, money did change hands more than once and the transactions were recorded on the books.
The story sounds simple but then the Satyam Scandal is not this simple. I will be back with more stories and more insights here on this blog. So if you are reading this do come back here.
