Slap your co-worker day - October 23rd

2009-10-08T20:55:00.002-04:00

October 23rd is the official Slap Your Irritating Co-workers Holiday: Do you have a co-worker who talks nonstop about nothing, working your last nerve with tedious and boring details that you don't give a damn about? Do you have a co-worker who ALWAYS screws up stuff creating MORE work for you? Do you have a co-worker who kisses so much booty, you can look in their mouth and see what your boss had for lunch? Do you have a co-worker who is SOOO obnoxious, when he/she enters a room, everyone else clears it? Well, on behalf of Ike Turner, I am so very very glad to officially announce October 23rd as SLAP YOUR IRRITATING CO-WORKER DAY! There are rules you must follow:

* You can only slap one person per hour - no more.
* You can slap the same person again if they irritate you again in the same day.
* You are allowed to hold someone down as other co-workers take their turns slapping the irritant.
* No weapons are allowed...other than going upside somebody's head with a stapler or a hole-puncher.
* CURSING IS MANDATORY! After you have slapped the recipient, your "assault" must be followed with something like "cause I'm sick of your stupid-a$$ always messing up stuff!"

* If questioned by a supervisor or police, if the supervisor is the irritant, you are allowed to LIE, LIE, LIE! Now, study the rules, break out your list of folks that you want to slap the living daylights out of and get to slapping.....and have a great day!

Life has changed. I have left my original company and have really bittersweet memories. Things are quite new to me here and I am really adjusting with lots of things. Giving it a little time and taking each step in a small way. I might come out triumphant or I might lose this battle. I at least tried and fought for the first time in my life.

Learnt a lot and gave a lot back. I know now my weakness and strength and adding every day new to-dos to this

Random Frustration - Mumbai 26/11

2008-11-30T00:10:00.003-05:00

Whatever happened in Mumbai was not good and it is time we give a befitting reply to Terrorism. For the first time in many years we did not negotiate with the terrorists and did not give in to their demands. I do not know whether any demands were made. As my friend said,"this positive thing of not giving into terrorists demand was done because Mufti Mohammed Syed's daughter was not kidnapped nor held for ransom". I was wondering what would have happened if Milind Deora - the politician who is wall-postering for extra votes, the heroes who sacrificed their life so that my country could get rid of those blood mongers - had been kidnapped (I sincerely do not wish this for him). If it is proven that the terrorists were from Pakistan or had help from Pakistan, India should go after these terrorists where they live and hit them where it hurts.
When we seek revenge it does not mean we do not want peace and there will be a collateral damage of loss of civilian lives and the risk of alienating common people. Peace will be the result of this revenge. You hurt me and I hurt you and make you realize how painful it was and therein lies the peace in knowing that both of us are aware of the pain. That is the reasoning of revenge and I am thirsting for this revenge. I do not think common Pakistanis have any hatred of this heinous nature against us Indians but it is the politicians and terrorists and these guys have to be taught a lesson, once and for all. I know tomorrow will be another day and everything will be forgotten as Kargil heroes were forgotten. It will take not more than 2 IPL matches to forget this heinous crime. Only the daily sighting of the Taj painfully getting a make over will keep us reminding of the Crime against India, the sacrifice of the heroes and the hatred and that deadly smile of 21 year old terrorist who kept the whole world awake for 60 hours.
I was not born when my country fought for freedom from the oppressors and the people who gave us freedom, wanted us to eschew it and not in the way we are doing it today. It is time, I stop worrying about car loan, my salary and that Biryani. It is time I stop about my career for that extra dollar and extra fame. It is time I think and worry about my country and take some steps to show my love for my country and the selfless Jawans. I start today and I start now. This is where it starts
In essence, I am ready to be on the call of the service for my country and whetever skill I have, I will use for my country. So lets attack the root of these problems whatever it is. If the root is in Pakistan, lets go to Pakistan and if the root is in the galis and mohallas of Hyderabad, lets go there. Lets get it done and then watch IPL or Deepika Padukone or Rajanikant's entrance into politics.

Costume Designers Interviews: Bias by Media

2008-07-05T16:46:00.002-04:00

The other day when I was surfing and was looking for nothing in particular, I found an interview of the costume designers of the latest movie " Jaane Tu .. ya jaane na". I was shocked by the bias exhibited by the media. I became impatient, angry and frustrated, all together. Imagine their callousness!
I understand the dresses and the costumes which the protagonists wear in the movie is all trendy and groundbreaking but what about the coverage of the costume designers of another ground breaking movie like this one. Look at the hero! Is it not trendy? It was the new style but no one interviewed the costume designers! I am not even able to find a decent reference to the director blah blahing about the dress which our hero wears! If you can find the interview, please help me and make me less frustrated!

Salary Crisis

Another Porn : Teesra

2008-01-16T18:39:00.000-05:00

Hey do not be shocked. I was just wondering and reasoned out couple of reasons why I need such a heading. One is I subscribed to AdSense and if you do not know how it works, pssst.. you should not be reading this. Hello! You still there..
So any way, the other reason is I got to see the Teesra Porn. Teesra is third in Hindi.. Sure Trikkone loves Hindi and is surely ahem.. agnostic about Tamil.
Let me take you step by step with the second point. I will come to the first one later , if I may, in my discourse.

There are basically two types of porn.

The porn as I, you and every cafe visitor in the gulleys of India knows. Hard , Soft. You name it .. you get it. Last time I checked(as most of the so called scholars attest!), google returned 224 M websites or searches for the word "Porn". So I do not have to tell you more about. Go search yourself, figure it out and enlighten me.
The other porn is the "Torture Porn" Hollywood calls the movies like "SAW" series as belonging to the "torture porn". This is another type of horror where you will see blood gushing, fingers yanked out, hearts ripped out..(Hello you still there?)
The teesra porn is nothing but the Karan Porn. Yes the movies which Karan Johan churns out regularly. Where the common housewife vacuums her house dressed in Designers( No prizes for guessing which movie), where the most common mom and dads live in palatial houses and commute to work in Helicopters and where the pooja room itself is like a big temple and where 1/3 of the population celebrates Diwali or karwa chauth in one room in his movies with the mom, dad and their children. I am still not able to figure out why he does what he does. Aint there any stopping him? Why do NRI(me included) suckers endorse his movies and watch his movies. Where are all the poor people in his movies? Why does not anyone in his movie work? Why does he show Grand Central instead of "Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus"? Why Why why(this is taken from the cover of his "Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna" Cover which he wrote!!)

So this is the third porn and now back to my first reason why I termed it that way, apart from nonsense and nuisance logic that he purports in the movie - I wanted to increase the traffic to my website and this is my last Hope.. so here i go..

PS: Just added these after reviewing my post. Guess the Average Annual Income of the characters in Karan Johar's movie?
Answer: Keep Guessing! Not less than 25M Dollars, taking the currency evaluation into account

In conclusion, this inspired me to go through his filmography and come out with the Estimated Annual Income of his characters in the movies. Please watch this space!

Piracy by the Well Healed...

2007-12-29T13:55:00.000-05:00

Disclaimer:
This is going to be one long blog and it is strictly my observation and my view alone. It is not my intention to hurt any one

The other day I was discussing with a colleague of mine about a movie and he was saying that he liked the movie "Lage Raho Munnabhai" a lot. A discussion ensued as usual about teachings and observations of Gandhiji - our Bapu. He was of the opinion that Gandhiji's teachings are still relevant today and if practised today the results will be enduring and beneficial to everyone in the society.

I liked what he said and completely agreed to his views. I strictly feel and believe in one thing and that is Honesty. Though I can not vouch for my honesty every time but I feel I am more honest than dishonest at any given point of my time. It has sometimes worked against me in my professional life but that's the way I am. I really can not help it. Anyway, as I always do, let me not deviate from the topic.

So after this Gandhian friend of mine made us realize the importance of Gandhian values, I asked him a question. I wanted to know how he watched the movie. You would not believe what he replied but then maybe you do. He said he watched it online and he did not like the quality of the print! Phew.... Poor guy does not practise what he preaches. At least I do. People watch these movies illegally and sometimes feel it is their right to do so and complain against the sites if they are not allowed to.

Now I am not here to say that I am more honest than anyone else. I have my reasons to be honest, sometimes. I feel my honesty gives me a night of peaceful sleep. I am not robbing anyone of anything as long as I am not doing anything wrong. Why do we have to rob someone of his rightful earning and his hard work. If he charges $10 for something, that is his prerogative. It is our right to pay or not to pay for his service. I am just worried about the lessons he is teaching his kids. Does he wake up and tell his kids," Son it is all right. If it is free it is ours and it is our right to get things for free. If it is free, someone is cheating".

I still remember my friend Ganesh's observation and remarks about why he feels honored to be in IT services. He informed me that it is one of the few jobs in India where at our levels we do not take bribes or deal with anything below the table.

If we, the people who earn enough, can not pay for something which the person providing the service is entitled to, then how can we expect the people who earn less than $50 every month to pay for things which I and you sell or may sell one day. Now is there any limit to this as I call it - "Annual Income of Freebie Demanding Class". How much one should earn so that he can really dip into one's pocket to spend something for which he is not entitled for free? Is there a limit or people really of higher echelons do things or download things illegally?

Confuse the confused... Kudos to Indian Postman

2007-12-19T15:22:00.000-05:00

On my vacation to India this month, my wife took me to a shop in Madras, which had the following address below its name.
The address was

Plot no 105
Old No 65
New No 115
Saligramam,
Chennai..

Well I forgot the name of the street. That was the reason, we were asked to enquire the location of "Actor Vijay Weedu" to find the location of this shop when we could not find it.

Hmm. poor postman,taxiwallas..cabwallahs.. Wish things were simple!

Shrewed Marketing or Desparate consumer!!

2006-03-13T22:48:00.000-05:00

Guess this is too old to post or a typical BS that comes in this blog. I was recharging my relianceindiacall.com balance and I could not help but notice the images that show up in the website. Reminds me of the game we used to play using matchboxes and the strings.. What are they trying to convey here? Are they trying to say dude!! we are just that clear.. the clarity that you expect when you use two match boxes to talk to using a taut string!!!! But then if this is the clarity that we expect, then why do we use the calling card so much... well then its the case of as they say " Matchboxes err..phone calls to India Gone Wild!!!"

This goes on to prove I guess that the images or the feelings that a brand convey does not matter. The name, the integrity( or lack of) and the service is all that matters...
A lesson well learnt Trikone.. A lesson well learnt!!!!

Suicide and Murder

2006-03-01T15:56:00.000-05:00

As they say in Bollywood, this title is "inspired" from a colleague of mine. I did not steal it... anyway I was asked(Hope it is original)recently..

Q: Which is better- Arranged Marriage or Love Marriage..
Now that am striclty a monogamist, I am jealous of polygamists... anyway

A: I said arranged marriage

Q ( after a look of disbelief): Justify!
A ( with a Cool have-seen-it-all-and-know-it-all Look): Well in love marriage you know what you are getting into it and still do it( so its like a suicide) but atleast in arranged murder.. err I mean marriage .. you dont know what it is until it hits u..its more of a murder.. and hence I say.. Hurrah- Arranged Marriage

A tribute and thank U to our PMs

2006-03-01T13:55:00.000-05:00

Yeah thats true. It means I am still a team member.. C'mon at least I work in a team.. Anyway it's something that happened today which makes me pay a tribute to our PMs. I sent a mail (official) to a group id for our employees and then I had to correct it .. which usually happens more frequently, now that I discovered "recall your message" feature in outlook..

Anyway I went ahead and clicked on "Recall your message" and lo and behold, my mail box crashed. Imagine how much patience these guys have when they publish or forward mails to the group mail id and have the "Read Confirmation and Read Delivery Report" selected. Wow! Hats off to your patience and your stamine and to the extra calcium in your bones and joints!!!!

Times of India - A tribute

2006-02-28T17:21:00.000-05:00

Recently read somewhere that times of India is the world's largest broasheet. It has to be considering the no. of pages it has. Even if the news is worth two lines, it is neatly formatted in two pages resulting in "CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME".

On another note my desktop crashed as the popup blocker crashed as soon as I went to Times of India.

Rang de Basanti Rocks!!

2006-02-24T14:16:00.000-05:00

The other day I watched Rang de Basanti with my "equal three-quarters"( Yeah she takes 3/4 of my life!!).

I became the mouthpiece of RdB as it is now known. I started publicising that the movie rocks and I got "curious georges" waiting to find out why I went gung-ho over the movie...

Rediff,Hindustan TImes, ToI devoted special sections to the movie. I heard, if you will, the chatter all over the blogspace,egroups everywhere.. The reasons are many why you should or can like the movie.. The best reason why we liked the movie is------

Well guys here is the answer...

because I watched Neal 'N Nikki and Veer-Zaara!!!

How will you describe envy?

2006-02-24T14:08:00.000-05:00

There are many ways in which you can show the sense of enviousness? What are people envious of? Do they envy how you look (No! I am not talking about me.. I am talking about Johnny Lever!!, Vadivelu or Rajnikant!!)? Do they envy how you live (No I am not talking about me !! I mean 609ers,Brangeliners, Bill and Melinda)?

All these lead to one question?

What do you generally envy? I know what you envy in me...
Yeah it's my vests. You envy my vests, my banians, my ganji... You envy the way they look whiter even after 20-30 heavy washes in the washer of my apartments!!!

Rajani- The "R" Factor

2005-04-15T19:31:00.000-04:00

I would be going to watch Rajnikant's comeback vehicle, as it is touted to be, in North Bergen, NJ. There would be 33 of us whistiling('course suresh has the honour of doing this) for the Super *. Now I want to know what is so super *ry about him that even our educated professionals(some of them handling projects of million $ in question) go to the theater and watch is movies.

I accept he provides the masses a "mass" (pun intended) entertainment but is it what we look for? I know I am going because I am married and this is one disadvantage of getting married.
Why is he called a leader when he refuses to lead? Why does Tamilnadu get cold when he sneezes and why do people go to his movies again and again? Remember last time his movie "Baba" bombed terribly. Now isn't it surprising that even that movie was called his comeback vehicle.

I guess one of the main reason( I dont have to be a Harvard's Professor to profess this) that his movies are/were such big hits is people tend to blend the onscreen image with the offscreen image. This is where the personal and professional lines are blurred. I remember a case where Manoj K. Jain ( I dont know who this guy is.. Harita told me about him) was not allowed to get out of the Airport as he attacked the Super star in the movie "Dalapati" as the villian. Only after Rajni Kant interfered, he was allowed to come out of the airport.

Now why do not we understand that an onscreen image is the professional image not the personal life. Yeah! I know this is not always true. One S.K. is an exception to this rule.... But People do not believe it, we do not believe it. It is because of this reason that JL is ruling one state and AB has a temple in his name.

If we are so educated and professional, why do we fail to educate ourselves. I knew a collegemate who use to pray and touch "THAILAIVAR"'s feet before going for his exams. I do not know where he is.
Just think how carefully these actors cultivated their image. They have only moms in the movies. They always bash up villians and they always are sweet to their gals.. Look at Vijay. Do you see the pattern? You would see the same pattern in South Indian(Tamil and Telugu) movies. What about the Hindi movies? well thats one another story ,another blog.

Ahem, as I was blogging,look at their images. I guess Rajni is not the only one who cultivated it. It started with people like MGR,NTR and some many other "R"s. Now there are these guys.. Sharat Kumar,Vijay,Ajit who are trying to do the same. Who will win? who will lose? I do not know. The only thing I learn is .. we lose.. an amount equivalent to $25. Lets see

I will post my review after I come back!!!

Watch this space.. I am tired!!! whooooooooooooooooo!

Hairless Attitude

2005-04-13T17:31:00.000-04:00

When I was young(I am still) , I used to get my head tonsured quite often.. thats the reason I am balding now.....

and upon being queried by my profs and made fun of by my peers and friends I used to cite the following benefits

1) Manageability
If you have ever travelled in India on a Mobike then obiously your hair would have been dishevelled by the time, you reach your destination. Now this was the perfect solution to end that

2) No Oil, No combing
I could sleep extra 15 minutes

3) No Dandruff

4) If ever you need to itch, you can go to the root and itch
and hence the quote
" If you have hair, itch will bitch"

5) and last but not the least
thats one way to show ur bare-dare attitude and believe me nothing can be more shocking than seeing a well haired guy going clean shaven... and once u give someone this shock.. well that reduces one more surprise/shock in the other persons life

Anything else...

Got this from one of the forwards.. Too good
Thanks Padmanabhan

The following are some of the ideas for Ganguly to regain form and stay in the middle for a longer duration.(subject to approval by I.C.C)
IDEA NO:1: Plastic Ball or Tennis Ball or Rubber Ball to be used while bowling to Ganguly.

IDEA NO:2: Only one stick should be kept while Ganguly is Batting instead of Three so that his chances of getting out bowled will be minimised

IDEA NO:3: Dada can wrap up his legs with 4 or 5 bats instead of pads, sothat there is no chance of getting out lbw.

IDEA NO:4: The size of the ball can be reduced to the size of a lemon or size of his bat can be increased to twice its size. Or the size of the ground can be decreased to that of a Basketball Ground.

IDEA NO:5: Fast Bowlers are prohibited to bowl the following deliveries to Dada. They should not bowl Inswinger,Outswinger,Off cutter, Leg cutter,Bouncer,Short Pitched Ball, Reverse swinging ball, yorker,reverse swinging yorker,slower ball and most importantly in and around the off stump corridor.

IDEA NO:6: Slow Bowlers are prohibited from bowling off spin,leg spin,doosra,googly,china man,flipper,faster ball.

IDEA NO:7: Speed restrictions for bowlers:
FAST BOWLERS: MAX 120 KMPH
SLOW BOWLERS: MAX 50 KMPH.

IDEA NO:8 Fast bowlers in their runup should run like Mohinder Amarnath and slow bowlers should not run at all.

IDEA NO:9 Ganguly can change his position as medium fast bowler instead of Batsman and bat at no:11, so that by the time he enters the ground 48 or 49 overs would have been bowled.

IDEA NO:10: I.C.C Should warn Pakistan Bowlers that hereafter any bowler taking Dada's wicket, the number will not be added to the bowler's tally of wickets.

IDEA NO:11: Bowlers should not appeal for dismissal of Ganguly. Even a small appeal (not necessarily loud appealing or excessive appealing) will lead to match refereee Chris Broad suspending the bowler for the rest of the series.

IDEA NO:12: Fast Bowlers should only throw the ball and slow bowlers should use underarm throw.

IDEA NO:13: Even after this if Ganguly gets out, the bowler will be called a chucker and new rule for bowling action, i.e.( 2 degrees bending of bowling arm allowed for fast bowlers and 3 degrees bending of bowling arm for slow bowlers) will be taken into account and the bowler will be immediately sent to Australia by next flight for corrective action.

IDEA NO:14: No fielder should catch the ball hit by Dada. If they catch, then any of the opening batsman who got out earlier, like virender shewag will be allowed to bat for second time.

IDEA NO: 15: For every minute Dada stays in the middle, one run will be added to his score and if the ball hits the bat and travels to the following places, runs will be credited to Dada as follows. Slip,Gully,Forward Short Leg: 1 run Mid on,mid off, cover,point: 2 runs long on,long off,fine leg,third man: 3 runs. and finally if Dada's wicket is taken before he reaches 50 runs all pakis will be fined 50% of their match fees.

Some of the following ideas that we have are

1) Starting Dabba on wheels in Tristate Area(AP, Karnataka and TamilNadu). Is n't that a trikon a triangle?
Well guess what? It is .. and hence I posted this

what will we do with this "DOW"?
First of all, I will register it as www.wow-dow.com
Secondly, I will have the 1-600 no as 1-600-wowdow.com

oops I forgot the core idea. The idea is to sell dabbas loaded with food to the hard pressed professionals for a discounted prize

Any more ideas...
Please let me know.
I will update this whenever I get some ideas - so watch this space
