Flock Together!

People have different motivations to work.
But, the #1 activity on checklist they never shirk-

 One act that shamelessly unites them together-
Efforts impressing their superior/leader!

Source: Times Of India


Sycophants conspicuous everywhere happily fall!
How the bosses appreciate! Hold it all!

Picture-Prompt: The Moving Quill

Lower-levels compete for favours to reach higher!
Game/cycle continues; sycophancy has buyers!




This 50-words post is-
An entry to the The Great Indian Blogging Contest, as a part of the Apeejay Kolkata Literary Festival 2015. Great Indian Circus & Kolkata Bloggers

Linking Up with the Fiction Challenge ‘From 15 to 50′- Together, Hold it all

Hope you liked my take on “The Great Indian Chamcha” – an ode to the culture of sycophancy that runs deepest in politics but has slowly become a part of daily life.

What do you feel about sycophancy? Do share in the comments below.

    Some like to go up the ladder the wrong way, just by being a "yes sir, you are right" You can spot them a mile away.

    So true, such sycophants often resorts to unethical tricks and they hardly realize they are not true to themselves.

    Very novel and interesting combination of prompts, Anita. The verse reads very well and blends ideas rather seamlessly. Well done!
