Conversation between Eve and God by Navtej Kohli
I stubmled across this intresting story that shows a dim light on the sexual discrimination at work place. I felt that it was something that I should mention on my Navtej Kohli Business Blog.
“God, I’ve been thinking..” says Eve one day.
“What’s on your mind Eve?” says God.
“Well, I know that you created me and this beautiful garden and all of these wonderful creatures, but lately I’ve been feeling that maybe there’s more to life.”
“Go on…” says God.
“Sometimes I get a bit bored - I fancy a bit of fun. And I get a bit fed up with all the heaving lifting and carrying, and warding off the mammoths and sabre-toothed tigers, not to mention that bloody snake. This garden can be dangerous place.”
“I see,” says God, pausing for thought.
“Eve, I have a cunning plan,” says God, “I shall create Man for you.”
“Man?” asks Eve, “What is Man?”
“Man…” says God, “Is a flawed creature. He will have many weaknesses and disgusting habits. Man will lie, cheat and behave like an idiot - in fact mostly he’ll be a complete pain in the backside. But on the plus side he’ll be big and strong, and will be able to protect you, and hunt and kill things, which might be handy sometimes. He will tend to lose control of mind and body when aroused, but with a bit training can reach an acceptable standard in the bedroom department, if you know what I mean.”
“Hmm,” says Eve, “Seems like this Man idea might be worth a try, but tell me God, is there anything else I need to know?”
“Just this,” says God, “Man comes with one condition… In keeping with his arrogant, deluded, self-important character, Man will naturally believe that he was made first, and frankly we all have better things to do than argue, so you must keep all this a secret between us, if that’s okay with you. You know, woman to woman..”

Hey Navtej,
I wholeheartedly support you on this one (nodding my head in complete agreement!:):)) , having faced similar situations at work.
Also, I feel that this takes an ample amount of courage for a man to admit.
Way to go!!
