Good news: Hindustan Aeronautics Limited is hiring for a new head of corporate communications!
Bad news: Applicants may discover they are walking into a somewhat weird situation.
Explanation: Anantha Krishnan, former aerospace beat reporter for Times of India, served for four years as the head flack at HAL, the Indian state's predominant aerospace company. Krishnan's tenure is noted for launching the MSM in-house magazine. The company spokesman apparently left the company under mysterious circumstances, but not before sending out a bizarre farewell letter to HAL employees, which of course found its way into the Indian blogosphere (thank you, LifeFist).
The letter is not extremely strange until near the end, where the company spokesman slips in some thinly veiled innuendo.
"If YOU are still wondering why I have to leave, I request YOU to treat it as yet another unanswered mystery of our times. Be honest, straightforward and always speak out, if YOU are confident that YOU are right."
Hmmm ... "honest, straightforward and always speak out", eh? Did I mention this came from the head of corporate communications?
