PART - VII - RAJINI Vs ANTONY


A tensed Prabhu rushes into Rajini's cabin.


Rajini : Hey Prabhu, why do u have to look so serious and tensed like V.V.S.Laxman?. I didn't say you will not be included in the next match, did I?


Prabhu : Oh come on Rajini, we have got a serious problem


Rajini : What is it?


Prabhu : We had been testing the software product by Antony Software Technologies as per our contract with MilliSoft rite? The company chairman Mr.Antony is on the line now. He is warning us to close the bugs that we have logged into Millisoft's defect tracker for their product… otherwise…


Rajini : otherwise?


Prabhu : Otherwise, he would influence Millisoft's top management to break our contract with them. Antony Software Technologies is a 10 year old company and had been the partners of Millisoft for more than 5 years now. Antony personally knows most of the top management guys there at MilliSoft. Thatz why I am more worried. What should I reply to him?


Rajini : hahaha, don't worry. I will take care of the issue. It is lunch time na. You go and have ur lunch..


Prabhu : So soon eh? Just now I had my breakfast. I will have it after an hour or so. Now I am having snakes


Rajini : (terrified) : What?????


Prabhu : snakes you don't know? the chips, biscuits, cakes stuff…


Rajini : oh snacks ah ? o.k o.k you continue having it. I would take care of this problem.


[Prabhu left the place]



Rajini : Antony…………


[Antony immediately recognizes Rajini's voice. Rajini had been Antony's arch rival for years.]


Antony : waare wah Rajini…………. So was it my old friend who logged in so many defects against our name

Rajini : Hey hey hey , don't see the defect count ah, see the effects on client.

Antony: Don't teach software management to me. You are a kid in the software business. I had been running a company for 10 years now. If you find defects, do you think you are a big Tester?

[Rajini just smiled]

Antony : (continues) Defects kandupidikkaravan ellam Tester aagida mudiyaathu. Just tell me whether you will close the defects or not.

Rajini : Sure, I will give u 7 days time. You fix all the reported bugs, I would close the defects in the defect tracker.

Antony : [in angry tone] Haaaa, you are setting time to me is it?, OK, I will close… I will close your chapter and your company contracts with Millisoft within the same 7 days time u gave………..

[Saying this, Antony angrily disconnects the phone]

(the next few days)

Scene : Antony and his team hacks into Millisoft Defect tracker and changes the status of the bugs

[Flash] Somebody takes a picture of it

Prabhu comes and tell to Rajini "Antony is hacking into Millisoft's Defect Tracking system"

Rajini : Let him hack

Scene : Antony bribes a LMRVSoft employee to get the contract documents pertaining to this project.

[Flash] Somebody takes a picture of it

Jyo rushes to tell Rajini, "Antony has got a copy of our official document"

Rajini : Let him have that

[ After a week]

Antony called up Rajini

Rajini : Hello, LMRV Soft

Antony : Antony……… Marc Antony…… You had given me 7 days time to finish off the bugs rite. I have taken enough steps to finish off your company as a whole.

Rajini : Ha ha ha…. Kanna, If there is a PC in front of you, just read the latest E-mail from MilliSoft,.

A shocked Antony logs into his PC, and read the E-mail that he had just received from MilliSoft. MilliSoft's Vice president for Asian operations have sent a mail that read "We are sorry to inform that our agreement stands cancelled in view of your fraudulent activities'" and attached were photos that showed Antony bribing LMRVSoft's employee and him hacking into Millisoft's website.

An angry Antony kicks the monitor infront of him………. Rajiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Rajini : Ha ha ha, Yeah yeah yeah Rajini………….. Super Star Rajini………….. What you told, what you told?

Defects kandupidikkaravanga ellam Testers aaga mudiyathu nu you told la . yea, quite true, ... Defects kandupidikkaravanga ellorum Testers aagida mudiyaathu…. But these are not the bugs that we had disconvered… These are bugs that were the result of ur negligence…… This is not a minor bug. High severity bug. We can do nothing about this.

Antony grumbled and moaned as Rajini continued

Rajini : hey hey hey……. GOD will give so many compiler errors to a good programmer... But he will make the code pass UAT successfully with zero defects...For bad programmer's code might seem to run perfectly in offshore environment. But during UAT, GOD will make the bad code fail miserably. Your code(points at Anthony) will fail in UAT phase…. Try to correct it…..

[ A dejected antony hangs up the phone... But since Rajini was the one who called, the connection is still active, After a few minutes silence, due to rajini's magic, automatically the speaker turns on in Antony's phone. Rajini delivers a punch line ]

Ennai pathi theriyum la "Intha Rajini oru idathula code change senja............... 100 bugs fix panna maathiri......" (Sshhk sshk sound..)

(BGM followed by Rajini disconnecting the phone)
