tiring day so far....

class="mobile-post">

 
was in office from 10.30 to 6.30... crawling on slow net, even slower IBM ThinkPad, websites for partners and resellers in Middle East, team meeting, discussion, emails to n fro, IM, chai, lunch brk... etc etc da usual yada yada.....
 
then saw
 Robots... at Sterling with my friend Bhatta.. I guess me and Bhatta are the usual suspects for all movies arty,animation, regional and any movies that others don't watch.
totally cool movie... awesome animation and grafix... and really funny.... I give it double thumbs up...
 
If you dunno where you get the worst bhel in Bombay, don't despair I shall tell you....
its at Vithal Bhelwalla

 

 

 

 

 

near New Excelsior Cinema, VT.

We had normal bhel, at 25 bucks each it was a total rip-off... no taste at all... maha fcukall.... tasted like sawdust sadoing for years on Ice slabs.

the pani puri can be tried...for the boiled moong and rocket syrup :))

 

 

 

 

 
 
 

How to kill a Lion - banking style



ICICI method:
hire a lion give him hell a lot of work and pay him government salary .
Restructure his job, position, boss, colleagues, designation, location every
6 months.
Remove all lions above 40 from the organization or rename them " Goats ".
If he kills 2 goats a day, give him target of killing 20 elephants a day,
when there are just 10 elephants in the jungle.
lion dies of exhaustion, overkill and restructuring.

HDFC method:
hire a lion and ask him to meow like a cat .
give him lots of ESOPs and grass to eat.
he will die eventually of hope and starvation.

Citi method:
hire the lion, make him take 14 tests and tell him that if he doesn't score
> 60% he will lose the job. Ask him to extract 60 kg meat out of a 40 kg
goat.
lion dies of the strain?

ABN AMRO method:
hire the lion. give him high impossible targets and expect a premature
delivery of these targets. If the targets are delivered, clap for him in a
town hall and if not delivered humiliate him regularly. Lion either dies of
excitement or starts behaving like Tom hanks in Terminal.

IDBI method:
hire a lion, give him a salary of a cat...
Show him suspense thriller "Reverse merger of your Jungle - Part III"

the lion dies before joining....

StanChart method:
hire a lion, motivate him to outshine other lions in the jungle.
Load him with impractical targets and if he finds the prey
ensure jackals in the jungle snatch the prey and credit
lion dies in oblivion......

Kotak method....
hire a lion, load him with targets to focus on value instead of volume.
Every quarter change the style and make his life miserable
If he survives in the system reward him with a hefty bonus else if he leaves
profit of the bank improves along with EPS...

DCB Method:
Hire a lion and make him wonder, why he is hired....

Tirupati temple takes to online commodity trading!

Finally the gods have also started investing in Futures , the next logical step would be shares, debt markets, VC funding.
It would be great if all temple, mosques, churches, gurudwara's were listed on SenSex,Nifty and managed by pro's and real gurus of management.

My top 5 list would be:
1. Tirupati
2. Sabrimala
3. Vaishnodevi
4. Shiri Sai Baba
5. Golden Temple
6.Ajmer Sharief
7. Vailankanni church
8. St. Micheals (mahim)
9. SiddhiVinayak
10. Charar e sharief (kashmir)
10.

Tirupati temple takes to online commodity trading!

won 40 bucks in lotto...


results of THUNDERBALL
7 22 25 32 36 7TB

play in a combined office pool of 18 tickets missed out on the big booty of 8.64 Cr

I think this is a best lottery site in India, you can download the previous results in *.xls format n do your own permutation and combinations or even even show it to sunita menon for your numerology.
Also you can play via sms and online....
Like was never so easy for the gamblers and punters and mathemagicians of India.

I say to myself better luck next time... apun ka b number aayega :)

Indo-Pak freindship group...

In my earlier posts I had written about my views on the peace dividend.
To get the ball rolling I've started this yahoogroup for indians and pakistanis who believe in peace.
This group is my attempt to share ideas, thoughts, rants, raves, jokes across borders and into each others hearts and souls.
One can undo what the governments have done for 57 years but we can definitely start somewhere...
the journey begins here....

Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi ........


My first reaction was WTF, have I seen this movie before coz there was a movie by da same name. I dunno whether to call it a movie or a documentry on the Naxalbari-Socialist- Marxist-Hippy-Flower Power Genaration movie, but I sincerely liked Sudhir Mishra's attempt to bring about the Naxilite's story. Being a mallu I've always had uncles and folks kinda sympathising wid da communists and naxalbari student movements but I never knew it took so much guts and madness to do something like this...
I dunno where India is headed after seeing this movie.

this is wot rediff.com has to say..
Hazaaron Khwaishein is overwhelming!

Met our brothers from across da border.

I was at a Rotaract event for the felicitation of my friend Veena who has been elected the DRR (chief) of the Bombay Dist, met a few Pakistanis who came on an exchange visit. As part of an on going process between the clubs in India & Pakistan.
There were 5 Pakistani in the team, Drawn from different professions one businessman, one lawyer, one ad man, one shahid afridi look alike and last one I don't remember, all were really cool and very much at ease with us. Absolutely no negative vibes about any of them, I guess its da first time I hugged any Pakistani and also smoked a Pakistani Cigarette (Gold Leaves) taste very much like our Gold Flake.
Their crib was we send only our Software Programmers who I agree are not the best people to talk to. Maybe we should send our DJ's, yoga n reiki gurus, entrepreneurs, Item Bombs, Investments Managers, NEAT/BOLT dealers, Dabbawallahs etc.. our spectrum of Indians crazy yet lovable :))
There is an air of cautious optimism on both sides, lets do our bit for people to people contact.. I'm gonna write to them, create some online groups,shares ideas, views and crazy forwards on a regular basis....
I guess its a nice thing when the Governments on both sides realize the peace dividend.
My simple equation would be 1 Army tank = 10,000 schools , tell me which is better in the long run for south Asia.

I've beome a fan of the CPI (marxist)

communist party of india (marxist)

Why suddenly...
Some of the reasons why I find it cool is

They are a party with really strong principles
They have solid reasons n real issues to talk about in the parliament.... the aam aadmi issues
They don't do Rath Yatras or Trishul Diksha Diwas or Chintan Baithak or Maha Yagna to save India's Problems.
They don't kill fellow Indians to grab votes.
They aren't called hinduhridaysamrats or Loknayaks, They are called Comrades.
Comrade Prakash Karat is the new G.S and looks like he is gonna kick ass.
His Wife Com. Brinda Karat is one of the most beautiful and intelligent women politicians in India.
I think its high time India had an alternative to the Congress and BJP.
I think Che Guevara and Fidel Castro had real guts to take on da Yankees

They also have some bad points, more on that later..

Ravi Nair - RIP

Yesterday had been one of the saddest days of my life, My friend Rosh's Dad was killed in a railway accident between goregaon n jogeshwari...
Our entire building junta rushed to the Borivali Railway police station, where the cops told us to identify the body or wotever was left of it... really graphic .. really sad... mutilated body...
Infinite paperwork.. panchnama... questioning and other details.. but the cops were very good, polite and helpful... We shd stop bitching abt the cops for everything..I salute you guys n sry for stereotyping.

If you traveling from andheri and Borivali towards Virar or bhayandar, mira road towards churchgate for heavens sake go return or take a bus... never ever stand outside or walk on da tracks... Pls the name of God, Ishwar or Allah juss don't play wid the Trains in Bombay... Its something which is our best friend and also can be our greatest enemy...

Drop Ganguly and TEndlya


I think we should drop these two and get in Dinesh Mongia and VVS Laxman.

India leads 2-1 as I type but the Pakis are in devastating form and our over dependence on Sehwag has cost us....

Pathan and Zaheer rock... they atleast fought hard...

3 more ODI's to go... dekte hai :)

I saw compassion and selflessness today


I was in the Virar Train, the train had halted at Borivali station and was waiting for a mail train to pass... I saw a crippled kid crawling and dragging himself parallel to each compartment, I dint see a single soul give him any alms. A hijra who was seeing all this, buys a Vada Pav and gives it to the kid, No emotions, no expectance of any gratitude, as if it was some kinda duty to help.
I've always wondered we look upon them with suspicion and contempt, but they also have a story, a dark side which I guess no one really knows.

Cham Cham Bars



Though I dont find the idea of Ladies bars cool, the governments undue intrests in da ladies bars prompted me to post my rants and ramblings on the issue.. more on that later...

NIght LOver NL.....

This was one of the most happening places, will it open or not is all a big question??

One of the best ladies Bars in Bombay, Night lovers, opp Leela, Anderi(E).
Beer - 350 bucks
Waiters are well behaved compared to other places ( they dont stand in front you wid da gimme more face)

It frequented by most of the IT n BPO companies and Females also come at times.
I think its the only ladies bar in India to have a website http://www.nightlover.net/
and it also have some dance numbers by its best dancing gurls http://www.nightlover.net/live.htm
