Has anyone asked you for your password ??

What is your Password ?!?

This incident happened with one of my friend recently. He sits in a cubicle shared by his TL. Since both are localites, they make all official conversations in our local language : Kannada.

One evening, as usual, my friend finished all his work and left his cubicle to go home. He had not even travelled for about half an hour, he got a call from his TL. No, it was not that he had done some mistake in his work. His TL(a lady) had to deploy some code from his system and for that, she wanted his password. My friend was a bit embarrassed to share his password with her, as the password itself was embarrassing. He was in a dilemma whether to tell her or not. But since it was his TL who was asking for that, he decided to disclose it letter by letter. What was so embarrassing about it?? He had kept his password as “MuchkonDkelsamaaDu7#”. This password (leaving the number and the symbol) is slang in Kannada meaning “Shut up and do your work”. He was never used to keep such passwords earlier and now, when he was asked to reveal it, he was in a dilemma. He feared what the lady would think (since she also knew the language and moreover it was a woman whom he would be sharing his password with). But anyways, he told her his password letter by letter (this also twice !!! ) and cut the call.

           Next day, as usual, he came to office. She was looking as if she was in a bad mood that day. She didn’t speak to him in the way she used to speak to him everyday. He was tensed that she would shout at him. The first thing he did that day was to change his password. She didn’t ask him anything and he didn’t speak to her about it. From then, she has not asked him for his password.  :-)
