Extract from Strategy 13: Start a revolution Seeing not the dimmest hope of a job on the horizon, your thoughts turn lightly to commerce. Why not start my own company, you think? Then I can have fun laying off my own employees.
This is actually a good idea, but to succeed in business, you need a revolutionary new product. Say you want to get into men's underclothing - your only specialization - you need to come up with a revolutionary - not revolting - new underwear that will bring the Y-Front clad hoards screaming into your retail outlet, trampling three innocent bystanders in the process.
But instead of all that sweat of thinking up a new product, why don't you consider starting a revolution itself? No, I don't mean a revolution in men's personal clothing - I mean a real, honest-to-goodness blood-and-gore revolution. Think Stalin. Think Mussolini. Think Mao Tse Tung.
Ugh, you say. Revolutions...aren't they somewhat...unpleasant?
NO, my friend, a Thousand times NO!
Revolutions are unpleasant only if you land up at the wrong end of one. The whole point of a revolution, like so many things in this world, is to be at the right end of it. Take, for example, your dinner: the next time you're enjoying a pork chop, ask the pig what it feels like to be at the wrong end of a knife and fork. If you start one yourself, revolutions can be surprisingly fun, instructive - and profitable. Ask Stalin. Ask Mussolini. Ask Mao. Poltu is humor-novelist, cartoonist and singer-songwriter - and former corporate cowboy. He was laid off in 2006 and lived to tell the tale. This tale.

Pashupati "Poltu" Chatterji is in his forties. He describes himself as an overgrown teenager and an incurable Wodehouse addict. He spent the early part of his childhood in Africa, and later in Rajasthan, India. He grew up listening to the Goon Show and the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on the BBC, and reading and re-reading the saga of Bertie Wooster and Lord Emsworth as the revealed gospel - something he continues doing to this day. All this deeply influences his humor writing. Other than the Perl books, he has written a humorous New Age book, some humor non-fiction and graphic novels. He is also a fairly useful cartoonist. He credits his Australian teacher at a Christian missionary school in Africa for imparting her enthusiasm for the comic strip, and revealing the inner beauty of the very best comic strips that takes them beyond being "merely" funny. Poltu considers Charles Schulz and Peanuts amongst his biggest influences - not only for the artwork, but also for Schulz's approach to life, humor and storytelling. In his former life, Poltu was a software engineer and manager. He worked almost two decades in German MNCs, including long stints in Munich. He has a number of technological innovations to his credit. Poltu managed to get himself laid off in 2006 in order to concentrate on his writing. Poltu has written a series of Humor novels about the wild adventures of a self-willed software gal called Perl, and various humorous non-fiction and graphic novels. Poltu maintains a humor blog called Pen-Slinger (pen-slinger.blogspot.com) where he posts his cartoons and short comic pieces. Poltu is training to be a Blues guitarist. His musical influences are Muddy Waters, Lightnin' Hopkins, BB King and Hendrix. Poltu speaks English, German, French, Hindi, Bengali and smatterings of Kannada, Marathi and Swahili. He currently lives in Bangalore. He is divorced, without children. He can be contacted via his website www.poltusworld.com
