P K V - Powerpoint is powerless

Guy: ‘Hello viewers today in our studio we have Prof.PKViswanathan fondly called as PKV with us. (Turning to sir) Good morning sir’
PKV (checking the collar mike): ‘Thatharina thatharina sasa magamaga sa ri ga ma pa dha ne saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa vanakkam’
Guy : ‘Sir for the next 30 minutes we will be asking you few questions expecting answers from you and your expert views about it’
PKV (gleaming): ‘Aah yes. But instead of going through the routine question and answers we will try to experiment this show through a case. We will have a change. At the end of this session I will also ask the viewers some small questions like choose the correct answers, fill in the blanks etc to make it more interesting. What say?’
Guy: ‘Ok sir; let’s take the case of the Left stance on the nuclear deal. What is your opinion Sir?’

PKV: ‘See east or west, north or south, left or right, if the left is still in power we won’t develop.’

Guy: ‘So then what will be your remedy for this situation Sir?’

PKV (gets animated) : ‘I say give the left a 3 hours test full of fill up the blanks then throw them and their results in the Bay of Bengal or Arabian Sea whichever is nearer.’

Guy: ‘Ok sir, you seem to have a strong point of view over the left. How about Mr.Advaniji and his new book My country My Life ‘(and the guy flips over a few pages through the book)

PKV (snatches the book from the guy): ‘You people don’t even know how to open a book. Let me show you how to open a book. (Cradling the book) First hold the book perpendicular with your hand (the camera zooms to PKV’s hand) and then slowly open page by page. And don’t ever scribble or mark with pen or pencil. It’s a disgrace to Lord Saraswathi. See someone has already scribbled in this book’ (pointing out the preface page)

Guy: ‘But sir that is a print of Advaniji’s hand written preface’

PKV: ‘Oh ok ok. But whatever the thing may be. These books can be made pretty small. The content is worth only one third of the pages. But these people give lot of stories and unnecessary explanations to make profit’

Guy: ‘Lets move on to the business world. What do you think of the Microsoft’s continuous trying to overbid Yahoo!?’

PKV (disgustingly): ‘I tell you. Microsoft is the worst company in the world’

Guy (puzzled): ‘Sir?’

PKV: ‘yes I say. They invented this copy paste method. All you need to do is chick chic copy from one place, chic chic paste in another paste. Such a shameless operation. But I will show you some tricks if you permit me. I see the time is already running out. But you should permit me. Is it ok?’

Guy (in a dilemma): ‘Ehh’

PKV: ‘Ok here it is. Chic chic. You copy. Chic chic ‘(suddenly the computer’s power goes of) ‘I don’t know how all of a sudden these things go wrong. Ok anyway next do the chic chic, you will get the results beautifully tabulated’

Guy: ‘thank you very much sir for your presence here.’

PKV: ‘now I am not going to speak. I want the answers from the viewers. It is my -------re to be here. I thank the --------tor for --------ing to the show. ------k –u. –ye –ye.’

Guy (sighing): ‘That’s it for the day viewers’

(In the back drop PKV’s mike is being removed by a girl. He starts talking to her)

PKV (with a smile):’ You were there during the presentation last week right.’

Girl (surprised): ‘No sir’
PKV (smiling too much): ‘No I remember you. You were during that CEO’s presentation……… (And he goes blah blah)
