Hilarious! Let me try too :)
Billu: <standing on pile of discarded NT CD's> Kitne aadmin the?
NT Coder: E-e-ek, sardar.
Billu: Woh ek aur tum do hajaar, phir bhi 28% market share lose kar
aaye! Kya socha tha, khush hoga sardar? Shabashi dega, kyoon?
Billu: Iski sajaa milegi, jaroor milegi!
<Riffles through pile of pink slips on desk>
Billu: Pink slips 4000 aur tum 2000. Bahoot na-insafi hai. *zip*
*zip*... *zip*
<Takes 2000 of the pink slips and feeds them into shredder. Adds 2000
blank pieces of paper to remaining pink slips and shuffles them
together.>
Billu: <pulls out piece of paper and hands to first coder. It's
blank> Bach gaya saala!
Billu: <pulls out another piece, also blank, and hands to next coder>
Yeh bhi bach gaya!
...
Billu: Tera kya hoga, director marketing?
Dir Mktg: Sardar, maine aapka IPO karaya hai!
Billu: Ab downsize kara! <pulls out one more slip, also blank> Yeh bhi
bach gaya!
<As everyone laughs in relief, Billu suddenly turns around and hands
2000 pink slips to 2000 members of NT team. Stunned, they go looking
for cardboard boxes to clear their desks into, as...>
Billu: Yad rakho, jo standards se conform kar gaya woh mar gaya.
<Remaining members of organisation gather into huddles to discuss the
best means of de-commoditising protocols and file formats>
