Budget speech by Bansi Mehta
Yesterday, i went to listen to a speech on budget by bansi mehta, a renowned CA of mumbai city. His last year speech was really very good. But this time, i never felt that a new budget came. it is more like extension of previous budget for one more year. no new or radical changes has been brought down.
Therefore, in morning i decided against going to listen to his speech. But by evening, i started having second thoughts. So, at last i, dilip, sicoh went together to churchgate to listen the speech. Sudip, Ashu, Rajnish, Bijay, Vishal, Vikas, Gopal & Susheel came directly. But as expected, the speech was a definite underplay in comparison to last year speech. I would give the credit only to the eloquence of Bansi Mehta that he made people to sit and listen for around two and a half years. This person is having immense knowledge of tax laws. He knows even now the sections of Acts which have been repealed now like MRTP, FERA etc.
By attending such speeches, one of the greatest benefit is that one gets motivated enough to think that why it is so that i am having an equally good brain but i do not know that much. I can't say about others but with me, it always happens. To be a good speaker, one needs to have some very good masala also like bansi mehta is having. he quoted many things from various sources. it may be a saying of winston churchill or a story from Merchant of Venice. some of his stories and other masala i can remember now are:
1) There was a great explorer. Once upon a time, he along with his team and a dog named julia went on the north pole exploration. Due to unforeseen weather conditions, they got struk in a storm and one by one all his companions died. In the end, the explorer and julie only remained alive. Now with the passig of some more days, all the food got consumed. The explorer had to eat something. So he killed his beloved dog julie and started eating. He came across a bone of julie. Seeing this, the explorer became very sentimental and sighed "Oh, Julie would have loved this".
The point was that when he himself killed julie, what's the point in lamenting now.
2) Definition of Beaurocrats : He is the person who would find problem for every
solution.
3) There was a cruel moneylender. He lended some money to a poor man and asked him that he would have to give pound of his flesh if he fails to repay the money. Daughter of the poor man was a lawyer. Now, unfortunately, the poor man could not repay in time. Money lender asked for the pound of his flesh now. The poor was arguing to give him some more time but the lender was not ready to budge. The girl interuptted in between and asked the lender to speak the terms aloud. The lender told that the person promised to pay a pound of his flesh if he fails to pay back the loan to the lender. The girl cleverly said " ok! he must give a pound of flesh now to you but ensure that that pound is extracted without any blood because only pound of flesh was promised not blood."
4) You can have a headache only if you are having a head.
