In good old days the teachers who taught the deadlock concept in Operating system used the classic tale of the "Dining Philosophers" dilemma..But modern teachers use a more interesting story to depict the same problem..
Boss to secretary – ‘For a week v will go abroad for a meeting , make arrangements’
Secretary calls husband – ‘For a week, my boss and I are going abroad , you look after yourself’
Husband calls secret lover -’ My wife is going abroad , so lets spend the week together’
Secret lover calls small boy whom she takes tuition – ‘I have work a week , so you need not come to class’
Small boy calls grandpa -’ No class for a week because teacher is busy , lets spend the week together’
———————————————————————————————————————————
Grandpa (d Boss) calls secretary – ‘Meeting canceled, I spend the weekend with my grandson’
Secretary calls husband – ‘Trip canceled , I am coming home’
Husband calls secret lover – ‘We can’t spend the week together because my wife canceled her trip’
Secret lover calls little boy – ‘This week you will have class as usual’
Boy calls grandpa (Boss) – ‘Sorry grandpa ‘
