Ghajini: A Joke

2008-12-25T11:48:00.004+05:30

Short Term Memory Loss:
15 Minutes after the show only two types of movies are remembered
1. Good Ones(out of happiness)
2. Very bad ones(Out of frustration)

Ghajini is none of them.. The movie is about the short term memory loss of Sanjay Singhania(Amir Khan). How he takes revenge of the killers of his wife. Apart from AMir and Asin, all other actors look sub-standard.(Cost cutting in recession might be..)

As Rediff.com rightly quotes:

"I saw a fantastic Aamir Khan film the other night, one where his obsession with
a pretty woman led to him being clubbed on the head with a generic looking rod.
The blunt force trauma led to amnesia, or so claimed Khan's character, leading
to a wickedly fun plot, rife with both misunderstanding and subterfuge. Awesome
stuff, Andaz Apna Apna."

Ghajini was so not like Andaz Apna Apna...

I had become a Amir Khan fan after some of the finest performances in Fanaa and RDB.. But, I had totally forgotten that he was the same person who made Mangal Pandey... I share similar feelings for Ghajini... "A overhyped, over budgeted, possibly overrated flick.."

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi Review

2008-12-25T11:33:00.003+05:30

After some of the BlockBuster hits like DeshDrohi, Yuvraj, EMI, Ek Vivah Aisa Bhi... Bollywood was desperatly waiting for a utter bakwas flop movie.. I believe Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (RNBDJ) serves the very purpose... Only in a opposite way..

Chopra's have again created the magic.. and no wonder RNBDJ will be the most successful movie of the year..

The story is very simple, without many characters.. The versatile acting of Shahrukh can be clearly seen from the two characters he plays in the film.. Surindar Sahni(Suri) and Raj(Naam to Suna hi hoga Fame).. The movie starts with a tragic incident when the 'Baraat Bus' meets with an accident, in which no one survives... Tani(Anushka Sharma), the bride, is then asked to marry Suri by her father... ( Their marraige can be compared to a hypothetical marriage of say Katrina Kaif(hot) and Tussar Kapur(Mamu))..

The story is then set up in Amritsar.. Suri owns a big house in the city.. and he works in "Punjab Power", whose tagline is "Pujab Power, Lightening your lives".. Then movie takes a comedy turn and the jokes are more created by the situation than funny lines..

Later the story revolves around the dance competition and some of the most melodious songs..

For the whole story... Go to ur nearest theatre and grab a RNBDJ ticket...
Better late than never..

7 Things Indian Government must do against Pakistan

2008-12-15T09:19:00.002+05:30

.The three-day-long terror strike on the country's financial capital was devastating in terms of its reach and impact. It has left Corporate India badly shaken and the elites numb.

It is no longer about only Malegaon or Govindpuri residents losing limbs and lives. Terror has now climbed up the value chain. As the new age entrepreneur Kiran Majumdar Shaw told a newspaper, "So far, the terrorists targeted common people. Now the society's elite, the business sector, is the target. What happened in Mumbai is a loud wake-up call for all of us to do something to protect ourselves."

In the last ten years, not a single session of any seminar sponsored by the CII or Ficci or business/general journals has focused on terrorism.

Now, at least, terrorism is being realized as a problem facing the country.

Let us summarize what the real situation is and what the corporate sector should do if we are serious in fighting terrorism on our soil.

1. Recognize and treat Pakistan as a terrorist state. The state policy of Pakistan is terrorism and their single-point programme is to destroy India. This needs to be internalized by every business baron including the owners of media.

2. Now, the elite of Pakistan are more angry, since India is growing at 7% and Pakistab are given CCC rating and stiff conditions for borrowing from the IMF. So, our aim should be to catch up with China and not be equal with Pakistan.

3. Pakistan is the only territory in the world where an army has a whole country under its control. This is an important issue since studies have found that a large number of corporates in Pakistan are ultimately owned by different wings of armed forces.
Hence, do not try to think of Pakistan without its army, irrespective of who rules that country temporarily and nominally. At least 70% of the market capitalization of the Karachi stock exchange is owned by the army and related groups.

4. There are three groups in India, who are obsessed with friendship with Pakistan.

a. One is the oldies born in that part before partition and who are nostalgic about the Lahore havelis, halwas and mujras.
b. The second is the Bollywood and other assorted groups, who look at it as a big market. The Dawood gang has financed enough of these useful idiots.
c. The third is the candle light holding bleeding heart liberals (BHLs) who cannot imagine India doing well without its younger brother taken care of.

All three have been proved wrong hundreds of times, but they are also opinion makers. Shun them, avoid them and ridicule them.

5. We should categorically, unambiguously, unequivocally boycott Pakistan in all aspects for a decade or more. Be it art, music, economy, commerce, or other hand-holding activities. That army-controlled state has to realise that it has done enough damage to global civilisation.

More than 100 acts/attempts of terror recorded in the world since 9/11 have had their roots in Pakistan. More than 40% of the prisoners in Guantanamo are Pakistanis.

6. We should recognize that it is our war and nobody in the world is going to wage it on our behalf. What the Americans are thinking, or what the Britishers are going to do, will not help. A determined country should have a sense of dignity and independence to fight its war.

We should stop interviewing leaders from that country who mouth the same inanities that "you have not produced any proof." The Government of India should perhaps create a museum of proof between India Gate and North Block.

I am amazed that a country of a billion is required even to furnish proof. If one-sixth of humanity says that the terrorist state of Pakistan is the root cause of global terrorism -- it is factual. Let us not fall into the trap of providing proof to the culprits.

7. We have made a grave blunder by suggesting in the international fora that "Pakistan is also a victim of terror." That is a grave error and it will haunt us for decades. They are perpetrators and our government is in deep illusion if it tries to distinguish between organs of power in that country thinking it is like India.

There is only one organ, namely its army (with ISI as a sub-organ) in that country, which owns and controls at least 70% of the GDP in that country.

If we want the world to treat Pakistan for what it is, then we should start practicing it. Always call it the 'terrorist state of Pakistan' and never have any illusion that it is going to be any different.

If corporate India, including electronic/ print media, starts practicing this, we should see results in a few years.

Are the elites listening?

The Admission Drive Expedition

2008-12-08T23:23:00.003+05:30

.
.

I started off my journey to Hyd on 4th Dec.. I was accompanied by vaishnav.. urf Paranoid. Thanks to my old roomies (Omkar, Praveen, Varun), I had a house to stay in Hyderabad. When I reached thr, To my surprise Miyan(Omkar) had gone for playing cricket. He seemed to be in a weight loss mood.. As per him "Half a Kg a day.. keeps the doctor away".

After spending around 3.5k on bike fines and 500 bucks as bribe, I finally got the NOC done. So Now I can proudly say my bike is "Legal".

On Friday, I met my Oracle teammates. They gave me a wonderful reception. And whats more, they had planned a team lunch.. So my Lunch was for free..
Old friends, new Oracle politics.. I came to know the latest tricks these managers are trying to play.. (But I never say anything against Oracle, after all it was my first company). Had a laughter.. shared my SCMHRD miseries with them..

n By Now, I was all set to meet the SNAPians on Sunday. Excited, Nervous and Confident.. all at the same time.

Sometimes in your life.. Everything falls in one place.. Couple of days before the drive, I was a bit nervous ( Tho I never showed the nervousness to my frnds..). So, I prepared for all sort of questions people were going to ask.

I reached the Audi at 12.15am, just to find that Vaishnavi hasn't still reached the place. Neither the Speaker guy nor the projector one... Dekhte hi dekhte it was 2pm. People had started comin, but no sign of arrangements. Finally, speakers and projector was setup in front of the 200 strong gathered crowd. Although delayed the program finally started at 2.45.

After a video and presentation, people asked some 45-50 questions.. But, I didnt find any of them grilling as such.. But, ya, It was a different experience..

"Praising something(SCMHRD), which you don't love much...!!"

Ya... I mastered that art as well.

Chalo. Will take your leave.
I am now at my home place. Eating Home food.
Will go to Pune tomorrow.
Vaishali has scheduled two tests.. one on 11th n other on 12th.. Testing times ahead.
Sayonara.

Commando vs Cricketers

2008-12-02T19:47:00.002+05:30

...
...
Do not worry about those who have come thrrough boats..
Our forces can easily defeat them..

WORRY about those who have come thru votes....
Those are our REAL ENEMIES….

What a shame and disgrace to every citizen of India that the elite NSG Force was transported into ordinary BEST buses, whereas our cricketers are transported into state of the art luxury buses.

These Jawans lay down their lives to protect every Indian and these cricketers get paid even if they lose a match, we worship these cricketers and forget the martyrdom of these brave Jawans. The Jawans should be paid the salaries of the cricketers and the cricketers should be paid the salaries of the Jawans.

Our NSG, BSF, ARMY, do not have a dedicated AIRCRAFT to perform rapid operations, while every tom dick n harry Minister is travelling through his Personalized Helicopter....!!!

Our Navy has total 25 Heavy artillery loaded ships, while a country named Korea which is smaller than Chattisgarh has 250 Heavy artillery loaded ships for the security of there coasts.

An ace shooter shoots and gets gold medal, govt gives 1crore, another shooter dies while shooting terrorist, govt gives 5 lakh.

WHO DESERVES MORE…………
Our Commando's or Cricketers??

Huh.. This is our India....
It Happens Only In India...

Terrorizing Mumbai...

2008-12-01T19:50:00.004+05:30

.
.
Last week the news were dominated by

1. VP Singh's death,

2. Neev'08 (Fest of SCMHRD) and

3. Mumbai Terror Attack....

Much of it was by the later..

"What a attack it was! Perfectly planned. 10 people from other country coming to India with enough ammunation to take on the best Commando's from India. The events unfolded as they would have in a typical Bollywood Action movie.. Hats off to the Terrorists.."
Saying that would sound sarcastic.. And Ya, It does.

But, We should give terrorist the credit for what they have achieved. Fighting NSG for 72 hours.. Killing dozens of people... Just what their bosses had told them.. The planning and execution was meticulous.

You must be wondering, Wtf I am writing over here.. But, I am getting to my point.. Hang On..

After the incident, now it is pretty clear that the people who planned and executed this mission were real brainy and intelligent people. At the tender age of 21, he knew how to enter India, how to bribe Navy people, how to fight against best of the commondos. No one would have ever Imagined that a group of 10 people can rule the city of Mumbai and bring this Busy city to a standstill.

But, If they were so good.. Then why are they wasting their talent. They can work with the government to protect people. If they don't like the way governement functions, They can work with a private Security agency and enjoy handsome pay packages. Working with terrorist organizations and then ultimately dying, does not bring any good to Them nor their Families nor The Nation.

Over the years, Staying underground, These Terrorist Organizations have been able to find such talented youths to fight for them. Then why Indian Government is not able to find talent among 1 billion Indians..??? What terrorist organizations offer that our Government is not able to give??

Signing off.. on this incomplete thought and letting you Think.. What We and the Government should do??

After all, Our life is at stake.. not government's..!!

Go Obama Go...

2008-11-04T20:25:00.003+05:30

In another 12 hours, A new American president will be elected. Seeing the exit polls it is pretty much clear that Obama is going to win the elections.

Some of the reasons why I feel McCain will lose the elections:

1. The current political environment

President George Bush has the lowest job approval ratings in modern times, even lower than Richard Nixon's during the Watergate scandal. Nine in 10 Americans also think that things are on the wrong track.

2. Brand damage

McCain damaged his 'maverick' reputation by coddling up to the religious right and President Bush.

And that damage was exacerbated in how his campaign has been conducted over the last few months - negative attacks which voters could care less about and emphasising issues which only conservatives seemed to care.

3. Sarah Palin

Picking her for vice-president made McCain look like a total political opportunist as the US public concluded she was unqualified.

Swing and moderate voters were also put off by her views on many issues and her personal attacks on the Democratic ticket.

4. Debates

It is very unusual for one side to win every single debate, and Obama did, according to most opinion polls. Biden also best Palin.

5. Financial meltdown

The way McCain handled the challenge didn't give voters much comfort. Even before Wall Street collapsed, the economy was already the number one issue. And with the meltdown, it became even more important.

Sense of Purpose

2008-10-01T22:16:00.004+05:30

My first post after joining SCMHRD. A serious one. Thought of writing on this topic after filling up the M & M application form.

Life is harsh. In today’s world 5 senses are not enough…!! Now we have to worry about sense of humor, sense of purpose, sense of having senses.. bla bla bla..

Most people around seem to be carrying out their daily lives in a predetermined sequence of actions to earn their livelihood, raise their families, make some money, et al. How many people really execute their lives with a sense of purpose and mission? Does life have a greater meaning, a goal, a serious sense of purpose, for most people?

I think not even educated and professional folks seem to be having a comprehensive vision on what they wish to achieve in life. Recently I was reminded of this when I saw the question on future plans and vision in Mahindra & Mahindra application form for my summer placements. Organizations seem to be wanting to find out which applicants have a higher sense of purpose in life, which one of them have really thought through what they wish to do with their lives, is there any role envisaged for a service to the society at large, etc., This set me thinking, as I was also searching for a meaning in life’s greater landscape.

I read an article “For too many unenlightened people, life has no meaning, no ever-present goal that gives them daily purpose. But for a person who wakes up every morning with an acute itch, what to do next is self-evident”.

During the placements till now, I observed one thing. People are desperate for an internship. They don’t care which company they are going to, what they will be doing there…!! These are the people which don’t think of future. They are least bothered about it. I call them “Future Parasites” on their parents.

Having a sense of purpose is more critical than just feeling good. One may dress well, have the right kind of diet, work-out to maintain a trim figure, engage in social networking at parties, etc., but I think all of this and more are not the same as developing, focusing and maintaining a clear sense of direction and purpose in life. By doing so, I would not be surprised if one also feels good and achieves good health. Meaning appears to be more important than Form. Coming together they would be a potent combination for success and fulfillment in life. It also leads to happiness in whatever you set out to do in life.

One’s sense of purpose is very important to leverage and maximize one’s potential, creativity, and imagination. It helps to focus intensely at life’s problems and opportunities and helps one to make the right move forward. Think of the power of purpose! If only you can align and focus your energies and passion going after the purpose in life!! You could achieve what an Einstein achieved in his life. Never defocus from your greater sense of purpose in life.

Have a wonderful week ahead, folks!

And write down your Statement of Purpose right away, if you don’t have one as yet!!

Friday the 13th

2007-07-13T01:17:00.000+05:30

A Friday occurring on the 13th day of any month is considered to be a day of bad luck in most of the parts of the globe. When, I was a small kid, my father didn't used to Let me switch ON the computer on Friday the 13th, amidst of the fear of being attacked by Virus.

Traditionally Market's fall titanically on this Day, its a bad omen for terrorists too. There was very hit Hollywood movie, Friday the 13th. The movie revolves around a boy who ignores the warnings from the villagers about Friday the 13th and the incidents which then take place...

Although most of us would probably affirm that superstition's role in Western culture is now a much diminished one, more a source of amusement than anything else, there are still those who allow their trepidation over particular days or dates to prevent them from engaging in their choice of activities. We may make jokes about Friday the 13th and only kiddingly instruct loved ones to exercise greater care on that day, but those who suffer from a fear of the number thirteen (triskaidekaphobia) or a fear of Friday the 13th (paraskevidekatriaphobia) may genuinely feel limited by the rumored potential for ill luck connected with the date.

So guys, Its up to u.. Friday the 13th, Here it comes...

Your legs must be tired because you've been running through my mind all night.

You are so beautiful that you give the sun a reason to shine.
You are so sweet...I'm getting a toothache just looking at you...
You are the proof that God has a sense of humor.
You are the reason men fall in love.
Smile, it's the second best thing you can do with your lips.
I lost my teddy bear, can I sleep with you tonight?

Don't blame me if u get a tight slap in reply...
Best luck...

Sardarji... ( Not a Joke )

2007-07-05T18:33:00.001+05:30

"Hello friends!! Well, jayant , my friend, told me the following incident which I wish to share with you. It has had a deep impact on my thinking.

In the diwali vacation, Jayant and his couple of friends had gone to Delhi.

They rented a taxi for local sight-seeing. The driver was an old Sardar, and boys being boys, Jayant and his pals began cracking Sardarji jokes, just to insinuate the old man.

But to their surprise, the fellow remained unperturbed.

At the end of the sight-seeing, they paid up the hire-charges. The Sardar returned the change. Moreover, he gave each one of them one rupee extra and said, (in Hindi, of course),

''Son, since morning you have been telling Sardarji jokes. I listened to them all and let me tell you, some of them were in a very bad taste. Still, I don't mind coz I know that you are young blood and are yet to see the world. But I have just one request. Here I am giving you one rupee each. Give it to the first Sardar beggar that you come across in this city."

Jayant continued," That one rupee coin is still with me. I couldn't find a single Sardar begging on the streets of Delhi."

Friends, we all love sardar jokes. But the fact of matter is that Sikhs are one of the most prosperous and diversified communities in the world. The secret behind their universal success, according to me, is their willingness to do any job with utmost dedication. A Sardar will drive a truck or set up a roadside garage or a dhaba, but he will never beg on the streets.

Industry wars...

2007-06-27T00:51:00.001+05:30

The day when the rumor of the merger between yahoo and MSFT came, the Yahoo stock on NYSE rose by 32%.

Anythings can happen in this world. MSFT + SAP + Yahoo are trying to win the battle against Google.

But Its, not easy for Google. MSFT has a experience of competitors, In the past it has won battles agains IBM, Apple, Netscape etc. Now a new challenge, might be microsoft will come up with a new technology which will dethrone Google.. Already live.com has diverted much of the traffic from Google.

So, In this situation I think we cannot rule out a possible Oracle + Google = OraGoogle merger.
Oracle is currently the second largest software company, and its merger with Google will be a disaster for the Competitors.
If the rumors are true, MSFT and Google are both eying the ERP market. Both of them have already released their beta versions.
So guys get ready for one of the biggest mergers you will find in industry.

Will keep posting the new information on this issue.

Google Spreadsheets Live Data

2007-06-26T23:46:00.000+05:30

I didn’t know you can hook up Google’s Q&A feature to a Google Spreadsheet, but you can: the GoogleLookup function “attempts to answer your question using the web, with information about people, places and things, like the population of Japan, the mass of Jupiter, or the place of birth of Abraham Lincoln,” Google’s help entry on the subject says. The syntax is as follows:

=GoogleLookup(“Paraguay"; “internet users”)

... and you can replace the first parameter with other entities, and the second one with other attributes, e.g. “Chicago” and “mayor”, “T-rex” and “weight”, “Stuttgart” and “state”, or “Yahoo” and “CEO” (Google still shows “Terry Semel" for the latter, which goes to show the data isn’t always precise to the day).

You can also automatically attach the first GoogleLookup parameter to another cell. To create the table below, I only entered the name of the famous person, and created a single second cell with the content =GoogleLookup(A2; “date of birth”). I then copied this cell, marked the other cells next to the person names, hit paste, and Google automatically filled the data (you can see a red dot in those cells, and they will also show their web sources when you hover over them or export the table).

View table...

On that note, did Google disable much of its Q&A service? Many things that used to work – like “real name of superman” or “president of USA” – don’t work here anymore...

A related function showing you live Google Finance data is =GoogleFinance(“YHOO"; “volume”) (where “YHOO” and “volume” is replaced with your values, e.g. “GOOG” and “marketcap”).

Indian Media is blind...

2007-06-25T06:21:00.001+05:30

In the morning I was skimming through the paper just to notice a news with photo...

The relatives of Sunita Williams celebrate in California.. as she returns safely to earth..
She has never done anything for India. Just to get more opportunities in US she has even put an English name ("Williams"). But Still why Indian Media is crazy for her??
Don't they get any other news..?
Why can't the media understand that there is no loss for these people to portray themselves as Indian for a while..
The same goes with other foreigners like Laxmi Mittal, Jeev Milkha Singh..
Yes I Don't call them NRI's because they are indeed foreigners..

Instead cant the media highlight the success stories within India..

Couple of weeks ago I read a news in TOI, that a Panipuri Vendor funded her wife's education and finally she got a job in Infosys...
This news was found in the Local Page, And Sunita Williams and Laxmi mittal will be found on the front page.. Just because they earn in Millions..

Is It??
Should this continue..?

I Was Looking for Sex.....!!!

2007-05-26T14:16:00.000+05:30

Usually everyone who has a dog would call the dog Rover or something. I call mine "Sex". Sex is a very embarrassing name, but I never knew HOW embarrassing until one day I took Sex for a walk and he ran away from me. I spent hours looking for him. A police officer came along and asked me what I was doing in the alley at 4 o'clock in the morning. I said, "I was looking for Sex."

My court case comes up next Thursday.

One day I went to City Hall to get a license for Sex. The clerk asked me what I wanted, I told him I wanted a license for Sex. He said "I would like to have one too!" When I said "But this is a dog," he said he didn't care what she looked like. Then I said, "You don't understand. I've had Sex since I was two years old."

He replied, "You must have been a strong boy."

When I decided to get married, I told the minister that I wanted to have Sex at the wedding. He told me to wait until after the wedding. I said, "But Sex has played a big part in my life and my whole lifestyle revolves around Sex."

He said he did not want to hear about my personal life and would not marry us in a church. I told him everyone coming to the wedding would enjoy having Sex there. The next day we were married by the Justice of the Peace. My family is barred from the church.

My wife and I took the dog along with us on the honeymoon. When I checked into the motel I told the clerk that I wanted a room for my wife and myself and a special room for Sex. The clerk said that every room in the Motel is for Sex. Then I said, "You don't understand. Sex keeps me awake at night", and the clerk said,"Me too."

One day I told my friend that I had Sex on TV. He said, "Show off!" I told him it was a contest, and he told me I should have sold tickets.

When my wife and I separated we went to court to fight for custody of the dog. I said, "Your Honor, I had Sex before I was married" and the Judge said, "Me too."

When I told him that after I was married Sex had left me, he said, "Me too."

Well now I've been thrown in jail, been married, divorced and had more trouble with that dog than I ever gambled for. Why just the other day when I went for my first visit with the psychiatrist and she asked me, "What seems to be the trouble?"

I replied, "Well, Sex has died and left my life. It's like losing a best friend and it's so lonely."

The doctor said, "Look Mister, you and I both know that sex isn't man's best friend. Why not get yourself a dog?"

Heat Hot Summer...

2007-05-01T15:47:00.000+05:30

Ohh man... this is my first summer in Hyd. n already I am feeling the heat.

I had heard that Hyd summers are really hot. But, In April it rained like anything dismissing all signs of the bizzare hot summer. It had rained for 4-5 days continuously n as my luck went out partying, I got wet all the 5 times. ;-)

I had bought a Air cooler in march itself. I couldn't find much use of it until, dear sun started vomiting fire on Hyd. Last few days it has been so hot that I have started coming to office at 9am itself. ( Earlier it used to be 11-11.30 )

Today I got up at 10, courtesy of my roommates who wanted to sit in front my cooler. It was so hot outside, that if u walk for 200m u'll get a sweatbath. It was impossible to be inside my house. I took bath and as soon as I came outside of the bathroom I started sweating.
So the solution to this problem was I had to come to office to breathe some cool air.
And Here I find sitting in the office updating this waste of a blog...!!

Hope ur city is not this hot.. God Please save me..

300 - Prepare for glory!

2007-04-28T09:24:00.000+05:30

Had seen the poster of 300 than a month back and decided that it would be a good movie to watch then. It completely slipped my mind until my pals in the area suggested going for it.

Based on Frank Millers Comic, 300 tells the story of King Leonidas leading 300 Spartans against the mighty Persian army numbering well over 100,000 led by the tyrant Xerxes.

If you went expecting an epic, or if you went expecting a movie with a thrilling storyline then you would come away disappointed.

But, if you went expecting pure gore, tales of valor and sacrifice then 300 will not disappoint you at all.

The entire movie was shot in just 60 days, but the editing took over a year and it clearly shows. The graphics in the movie are spectacular and the slow motion scenes really take the cake.

This is one movie you have to watch on the full screen with surround sound.

N'joy the movie..

The Google Master Plan

2007-04-28T08:46:00.000+05:30

I’ve come across this interesting movie clip called The Google Master Plan in Youtube quite some time ago. It’s a movie directed and produced by Ozan Halici & Jürgen Mayer for their Bachelors’s Thesis at the University of Applied Sciences Ulm, Germany.

The movie basically talks about how Google can use their free services like Google Search and Gmail with their gigantic database for some known, and possibly unknown, purposes. Well, it talks about our privacy as users of Google free services as well. Needless to say, it got me ponder how powerful Google is nowadays.

I’m sure you don’t want to miss this awesome video clip :-

Check out their The Google Master Plan website. There are some different video formats of the movie ready for download too.

Poetic Resignation

2007-04-28T04:37:00.000+05:30

The name is good, the brand is big
But the work I do is that of a pig
The work or the brand; what is my way?
I don't know if I should stay.

To work, they have set their own way
Nobody will care to hear what I say
My will be NULL, they wont change their way
I don't know if I should stay.

The project is in a critical stage
But to do good work, this is the age
This dilemma is killing me day by day
I don't know if I should stay.

The money is good, the place is great
But the development is at a very small rate
Should I go for the work, or wait for pay
I don't know if I should stay!

The managers don't know what they talk
The team doesn't know where they walk
That's a bad situation, what say?
I don't know if I should stay.

I can go to any other place
But what if I get the same disgrace
I can't keep switching day by day
I don't know if I should stay.

The -ves are more, the +ves are less
Then why have this unnecessary mess
No more will I walk their way,
It's all done, I won't stay.

Thanks & Regards
Employee

A store that sells husbands has just opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband.

Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates. You may visit the store ONLY ONCE!

There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights.
There is, however, a catch... you may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building! So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband...

On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men have jobs and love the Lord.

The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, and love kids.

The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, and are extremely good looking.

"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.

She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop-dead good looking and help with the housework.

"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"

Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop-dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak.

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads:

Floor 6 - You are visitor 4,363,012 to this floor.
There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store. Watch your step as you exit the building, and have a nice day!

MY VIEW:

No Comments...

But I have to agree with the joke, accepting that men would have done the same thing If there exist a wife shop..!!

Ya.. U guessed it right.. Its blank...!!

Does Cricket in dictionary mean MONEY...?

2007-03-11T02:59:00.000+05:30

Guys ever thought like this..? If u haven't I bet u will at the end of this post.

If you go deep into the money aspects of the game..

Why do you think BCCI is not entering in Nimbus - PrasarBharti Dispute..??
Why do you think players are playing this much cricket in a year..?
Are players willing to play or Are they being forced to..?
Why do you think players are getting injured so often..?
Why do u think cricketers are using drugs..?

If we see the fixtures for this World Cup..

Why number of teams in world cup were increased...?
Why do u think minnows are playing in World Cup..?
Why Quarter Finals, turned into Super Sixes...?
Now.. Why Super Sixes are converted to Super Eights..?
All this to make World Cup Bigger..!
More WC matches more money..
And this sucks.. Sucks Big Time...

Why Why Why...??

It's all about money...
Bolo... Jai Jai Money...!!

Do we want our Cricket to be driven by money...?

CricStock.com.. Will this lead to a new betting method..??

2007-03-11T02:16:00.000+05:30

How many of u visited this site?? How many of u have put quotes..?

A few months ago I started investing in shares through Icicidirect.com but that is playing with the real money, So I was really kind of frightened about it..!

But, when I came to know about cricstock, I was trying to figure out the relation between the cricketers and stocks... This is a crazy Idea.. Donno how those chaps in IIMA got that..! Basically All starts with IPO bidding stuff.. In layman language we can say , while starting to trade on stock market we have to sell the shares at fixed price range. this is known as IPO ( Initial Public Offering ). The idea of the game is based on the fact that players who perform well in the recent period, for them the share value will increase and while for the others because they are not in demand It will decrease. So, If you have the shares of the player who is doing well then, Soon u could become millionaire But only in the Virtual Rupees.
Dont get amazed by this idea, When I thought in a different way I found some irregularities

1. Because game is with virtual money, A player can make 100's of accounts( Only thing is he should have 100 email IDs).
Suppose I make a account I have some 3000 shares of Sachin Tendulkar which I got from the IPO. And for the remaining 99 accounts, I dont bid in IPO.. So for each account what I do is I start buying the Sachin Tendulkar share, So that its price starts Increasing. Imagine I buy shares worth 99 million so Supposedly the share price will increase at least 30-40 times, then I can sell of those 3000 shares to make a whooping profit..
So This is what I didnt like. A single person can control the whole market.

2. Now Second case, We have till now we have supposed that price will be controlled by performance of the player, thats what happens in real markets... But But But... In cricket nothing is like that... A player playing well may not play well in every match..
So I think the market in CricStock will be driven more by the Popularity rather than by performance.

Whatever we say, I should congratulate the makers for this idea.. Lets see if this works..???

Now lets come to the betting aspect of the game...
I sincerely think the game should be played in its true spirit. But whatever this site is offering in virtual money might turn into one with real money... Might be some other site from some other country might offer the same funda with real money..!! Do we want this...?

If u want to maximize to speculative skills why not go for super selector..?

The idea of CricStock is staggering, But have you ever wondered about its rancid fruits..?
I invite ur comments on this site.

Updating blog after years...!
