The Price of Karma

Meet Kuttappan. He is a young man at a new job. And like all young men at new jobs, he isnt happy. He is not sure whether he is being paid what he deserves. His friend, Manikandan, who has the exact same CV (This is no exaggeration. Manikandan copied from Kuttappan) is earning more than him. Why?

Kuttappan prays to God. He doesnt ask for more. He merely wants to know what he desrves. God calls him. He tells him that its karma. Kuttappan asks for quantitative and not qualitative data. God sets up karma.com and gives Kuttappan a login ID of his own choice. Kuttappan is happy.

He logs on and chooses the time frame as the last one month. He finds that he is worth 50 karmas (the unit for karma being karma itself) for the past month. He checks the exchange rate and finds that the market rate is 1karma= 1k INR. He is aggrieved. He calls his boss and mails him the link. "Look, I should be getting 50k per month" Boss takes a look and says " I'll get back to you" He does. "I'm sorry but thats before tax".

K: What tax? Income?
B: Karma!
K: Karma is taxed??
B: What did you think? Unfortunately, you fall in a higher karma bracket. You need to pay more.

Kuttappan prays to God. Someone else answers.

K: Where's God?
S: We had to let Him go.
K: What do you mean?
S: Its the recession. We couldnt afford to keep Him on.
K: God got fired?
S: Yeah, his karma wasnt good enough.
