Once upon a time, two priests, one old and the other young, were crossing a stream when a passing woman asked the young priest to carry her across the stream as she could not swim.

After the young priest had carried her across, the old priest reprimanded the younger one for having touched a woman. To this, the young priest said, “I put the lady down after crossing the stream, but it seems that you’re still carrying her with you (in your mind).”

That’s the one-time blue-eyed-boy of chief mentor NR Narayana Murthy and Infosys’ former director of marketing – Phaneesh Murthy. He’s using the analogy to explain the current status of his relationship with the older priest – and no prizes for guess who he’s referring to!(Economic Times via Ramnath)
