A city boy, Raju, moved to the country and bought a donkey from an old Farmer for Rs 100.00. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.
The next day the farmer drove up and said, “Sorry son, but I have some
bad news, the donkey died last night.”
Raju replied: “Well then, just give me my money back.”
The farmer said: “Can’t do that. I went and spent it already.”
Raju said: “OK then, just unload the donkey..”
The farmer asked: “What ya gonna do with him?”
Raju: “I’m going to raffle him off.” (Note: To raffle is to sell a
thing by lottery – draw lot – to a group of people each paying the
same amount for a ticket)
Farmer: “You can’t raffle off a dead donkey!”
Raju: “Sure I can. Watch me. I just won’t tell anybody he’s dead.”
A month later the farmer met up with Raju and asked, “What happened
with that dead donkey?” Raju: “I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets
at two rupees a piece and made a profit of Rs. 998.00.”
Farmer: “Didn’t anyone complain?”
Raju: “Just the guy who won. So I gave him back his two rupees.”
Raju grew up and eventually became the chairman of Satyam.

Dear Mr. Peer Mohammed Sardhar,
Always, we must see the goodness even in a bad situation.
Some Facts about Mr. Raju:
Raju is the family title of Mr. Ramalinga Raju. He founded the Satyam Company (everybody knows). The first IT company which selected even average students in IT fields by giving more opportunities to rural people. Before his entry into the IT field, only extraordinarily talented people could enter the IT field.
Now, almost all state governments are running emergency ambulance services (Dial 108), introduced and sponsored by Mr. Raju. Whatever services he has provided in the field to their customers/clients, there are no such complaints.
He was trying to adjust a large amount of bribe given to some politicians (Rs. 3000 crores), in which he got trapped. Otherwise, no one could have noticed until now. Now, the only losers are the shareholders. Whatever he earned, he spent the major amount in his district for the people.
I am mentioning the above facts because everyone must know about this. Please do not think in another way. This forum is available for healthy discussion.
With warm regards,
