Couples working in the same company!
Heaven and Hell; Life and Near-death; Tolerable and Intolerable; Intelligence and Dumbness; Bearable and Unbearable; The question for the day is ‘What is common among all these pairs of terms, other than opposites?’ My answer would be ‘Morons who got their better halves into the same company, or even worse, same project as theirs – [...]
Inflation – it’s such a mess
A man explained inflation to his wife thus: ‘When we married, you measured 36-24-36. Now you’re 42-42-42. There’s more of you, but you are not worth as much.’ – Lord Barnett That my dear friends, is the essence of the devil called inflation. In more complex terms, and hence economically speaking, Inflation is a rise [...]
Back after a loonngg hiatus!
1) Back after the longest gap in my blogging history of 3 years. There was really no reason nor excuse why I didn’t or couldn’t blog. I was working my back off for the past 3 weeks, including weekends; my online life of Orkut, Twitter, Gtalk and others have been dormant to say the least [...]
IPL Out, Boredom In!
Now that the seemingly-never-ending IPL tournament has ended, albeit with lot of brouhaha during the closing ceremony and a fantastic final match (by some quirky turn of fate, every IPL tournament’s final is a very close contest – IPL World Cup final, ICL final and now this!) – it is time we take stock of [...]
Converstaion with ‘They’…Err…’She’…no…’They’!
Of the many stupid moments and conversations I have been involved in over the past 25 years, some stupid moments stand out – for the sheer ingenuity and willingness to be ‘bakraofied’, some decisions I have taken to be involved in these stupid moments can be classified as stupefyingly stupid, if not downright insane. (Four [...]
Priceless Info for H1!
Whenever I am in grave doubt, I turn to ‘the one’ source. Whenever I need to make an important decision, I turn to ‘the one’ source. In this age where there is an acute shortage for real spiritual gurus, my only respite is this online spiritual guru of mine – the mind-bogglingly intelligent, outrageously hilarious..err..poignant [...]
The Depravity of Orkut
I was shocked the other day when my 14 year old cousin scrapped me – ‘Wassup?’ on Orkut. Firstly, I didn’t have a clue that he was on Orkut. Secondly, what was this ‘wassup?’ language? Have school kids forgotten the good old English language? An age where we lamented the death of letter–writing with the [...]
Search Engine Terms and my Blog!
There are search engine terms and there are search engine terms which lead to your blog. WordPress has a neat way of representing clicks, search engine terms etc. that lead readers to your blog. Now, I would not have complained if terms like ‘brilliant writer’, ‘awesome posts’ lead to my blog. However, over a period [...]
The Tryst with the Movie!
It was a boring Sunday afternoon. The weather was sticky, the entire neighborhood was in a festive mood and there was not a single TV channel worth watching. Guy1 was increasingly frustrated. Restless as he was, he just wanted to get out of the house and do something. He just browsed through the newspaper’s [...]
The World of ‘Jargon’ia!
What can you bring to the table? That sounded like a bolt from the blue for a greenhorn like me couple of years ago – which was when I first stepped into the corporate world. Especially, if this question is asked early in the morning, I almost replied ‘Why, How about Samosas and Tea’ – [...]
