Banerjee's Barrage


We at IITB SJMSOM are lucky to have him. He goes by the name of Dr. S. Banerjee . The guy is full of wisecracks and wisdom. We are certainly dwarfed by his presence. He has an extreme penchant for proverbs of all size and shapes. I therefore have started collecting them. And the barrage of his one liners would be constantly updated here. So watch this space.

1.Instead of taking 5 Kgs of Broccoli take a 5 mg (medicinal) capsule.(This was when he mentioned about his notes which were condensed form of the reference book which he had recommended).
2.Person who has pure knowledge is like a bullock carrying sugar, who doesnot know how it tastes.(This was to emphasize the point that it counts only when knowledge is applied. Just theory is not good enough).
3.Tiger is important for health of the herd of deers. (The weakest in the herd becomes the tiger's victim. Thus each time someone falls victim to tiger the herd becomes stronger. Thus the big ones in an industry eliminate the weaklings who are not good for the industry).
4.If a cuckoo twitters once its not spring. (Dont remember the context).
5.Financial result is like a toothpaste. Once its out you cant push is behind. So Financial results should always be looked upon in the light of past events.

6.When minds donot meet donot trust the word.(he was talking about why managers should have excellent Public relations).
7.Lots can be done with two threes (3,3). A typical indian will subtract 3-3 and get zero. An american will add 3+3 and get 6. A japanese would get 27 by raising 3 to the power of 3. A smart indian will get 33 by placing 3s next to each other.
