>From another group During one of the Field Firing Exercises, we had a break of two days. My friend and colleague, Capt Balwinder Singh suggested that we could spend the time in his father's farm, near Hoshiarpur. When we reached the Bus Station to catch a bus, Balwinder's schoolmate, Suresh, happened to meet us. He looked an intelligent man and said he had finished his MBA and was waiting to join one of the leading Industries. Balwinder invited him also to join us. We all reached the farm by the night.
Next day morning, Balwinder's Dad, took us around his farm. Since both Suresh and I were city bred, the farm and the activities there were quite exciting to watch. We saw a bull, which was harnessed to a pipe that in turn was fixed to a big wooden cylinder, going round and round, crushing muster seeds which were being poured into the cylinder. From a small out let at the bottom, the muster oil was oozing out into a container. The Farm hand, who was in charge of the operation, periodically came and poured more muster seeds and carried on with his other errands. Suresh asked Balwinder's father. "Uncle, how is that the bull keeps on walking without the farm hand coaxing it? What if it stops and takes rest? The farm hand will never come to know and the production will stop" The uncle replied, " you see the bell tied to the neck of the Bull? If it stops walking, the bell will stop jingling. If the farm hand does not hear the sound of the bell, he will immediately start chasing the Bull" Suresh would not give up. "Okay Uncle. What if the Bull does not walk but just keeps shaking its head, so that the bell keeps jingling? The farm hand will not come to know and there will be a loss in production". The uncle was a bit irritated. He said, " That is why I did not educate the Bull to become a MBA".
