Monday, bloody monday

Colleague: We will solve the problem using Technique 1.
Me: Well, technique 1 is good but it will add a lot of overhead to our system apart from making it tough for the users to use the site. I think Technique 2 would be.....
Colleague: No, no, no, we'll use technique 1. Tu dimaag mat laga.

[A few days later]

Colleague: Im running into problems with technique 1.
Me: I knew this would happen. The reason behind this is blah blah. A solution could be blah blah. But if we use technique 2, we have a ready-made code available for.....
Colleague: No, no, no. Tu samajha nahi. Technique 1 mein user control kaha se aaya?
Me: Im talking about Technique 2 sir. In this we could...
Colleague: Zara samjha kar dada. Yeh dekh, blah blah
Me: Yes sir I completely understand your point. But I think we are overlooking one point here. Please let me explain this completely. I just want you to look at.....
Colleague: No, no, no, no. You don't understand. Hum technique 1 user karenge. Tu jyada dimaag mat laga.

[A few days later]

Colleague: Are yaar system bahut complicated ho raha hain.
Me: [Silence]

[A few days later]

Manager: So how did we decide to solve the problem gentleman?
Colleague: We will use blah blah. We will use technique 2 and blah blah. The user will have to logout and login each time they have to see a new entry but that will make their lives more easy. And blah blah.
Manager: I don't like that idea
Colleague: This is the ONLY way. We can ONLY use Technique 1. There is NO other way.
Manager: But I don't like that idea and neither will the users. Can't we come up with a new idea?
Me: Well, there is another technique we thought of. If we use Technique 2 instead of Technique 1, we can.....
Colleague: No, no, no, no. I will give you a new solution. This will solve all your problem. This is called "Technique 2". This is MY NEW SOLUTION actually. With this blah blah.
Manager: Yea, this is definitely a better idea. Go ahead with this.

[Manager leaves]

Colleague: Tu samjha?? Technique 1 kaam nahin karega. MERA idea hai hum Technique 2 use kare. Isse kaam bhi kam rahega aur users log bhi khush rahenge. Tu samjha ki mein samjhau??
