On a sunny humid evening in eastern Kerala, Namboodiri and his friend were walking around a village quite peacably, talking about matters that two young men would on a sunny humid evening in eastern Kerala, when they saw a mahout with a majestic-looking elephant. Looking at the magnificent beast with its lolling walk, Namboodiri felt a sudden desire to own the elephant.
After a brief conference with his friend (who doesn't really have a substantial role in this tale) who owned most of the vigorous head-shaking content in that private dialogue, Namboodiri went to the mahout -
"Good sir, Would you consider giving your glorious elephant to me?"
"No."
Namboodiri walked away content.
Truly....a glorious tale.

When I first read this I thought it was some management principle I would never get.Now I feel slightly better about my own ignorance. :), but I am very curious about the hidden meaning/principle.
Hi PK, AC here.
How many elephants did you ask for? We all know you got some ;-)
Most importantly, did you walk away content?
