Facebook trauma
- Read this and wrote this post inspired by it. What is your problem in life is my question? You put up a picture saying ‘At the India Gate’. Arey, I am an Indian, you are an Indian…we know what India Gate is. What is the need in telling me that it is India Gate, [...]
Indian Lovers Party – It’s Revolutionary!
A question to start with – Whom are we talking about in the following sentence? – “There was no one like him, is no one like him, and will never be anyone like him” If your answer was Don Bradman, Sachin Tendulkar or even Rajnikanth, you couldn’t be more farther from the truth. The answer [...]
Deepak Chopra – Interpreted!
Deepak Chopra is supposedly one of the leading Indian Gurus in Spiritualism. In this blogpost, I try to interpret some of his twitter messages (interested folks can follow him @deepakchopra on twitter). These tweets (in italics) were tweeted between November and December this year. 1) Everyday reality is a waking dream where you project yourself [...]
Corporate Jargons – Video time!
I came across this recent movie making service (free) called Xtranormal very recently and I have already become a huge fan of it. In this post, I tried to experiment movie making with a topic that is so widespread that the UN is planning to list it as one of the world’s most dangerous viruses. It’s called Jargon. [...]
Random Rant about Pawar and CWG
1) If there was one Indian government body that was respected by one and all, it was the Supreme Court of India. Even the most crooked politician used to sit up and listen when Supreme Court gave its orders. Sharad Pawar seemingly has begun to buck this trend (and the herd shall follow) with an [...]
The World of ‘Jargon’ia – Redux
My earlier post on Jargons It is about time I update my list of jargons. I mean, its been 2 long years in the corporate world since the last jargon-ic blogpost, and you can be dead sure I have been inundated with jargons in this time. In this blogpost, I present my humble view on what [...]
One Upmanship – Bernie Madoff vs Ramalinga Raju
Scene: Bernie Madoff and Ramalinga Raju are put in the same jail, for crimes of similar essence – defrauding shareholders/investors. Both wanted to prove that one was better than the other – in swindling. And so began the argument – Madoff: You bloody brown fellow! How dare you steal thunder under/from me? Raju: You racist [...]
‘The Angrez’ on IM :)
Of all the multiple conversations on IM that I was a part of in the office till date, this conversation takes the cake. One of my very good friend, Harish was working from California on this particular day. The background essentially is that we both love the movie ‘The Angrez’ – a movie based on [...]
Festival of India
Last weekend, ‘Festival of India’ was conducted in our city. Now, ‘Festival of India’ in any city in the US necessarily attracts lots of food caterers first, along with the usual unnecessary audience which doesn’t make noise at an event. There were many interesting events, most of them with tiny-toddlers dancing away to glory while [...]
The ‘in’ things!
After 2 hours of deep thought process, I am as close to framing up a short story as India were to losing to Sri Lanka in the first test (losing by an innings and 239 runs should give you some idea) – the story neither had a beginning, nor an end or anything in between. [...]
