All da action... Salil Ankola former cricketer in Yellow

I dont remember!!!

Rain gods have descended ...

Bombay city looks clean and fresh......Train journey from Borivli to Churchgate was not sweaty, cool breeze and the occasional leaking in the compartments made it fun.....

The first obvious sign of the rains is the shortage of Rickshaws and Taxis ... these fuckers are never around when u need them...

Markets are up 60 pts as we speak, Rel Capital up 20% since it opened at 09:55 ....

 

Indra Bhagwan and your team do shower your blessing to this city and the Cool Nation of ourz...

 

Ambani Saga - New Beginning

My entire family was glued to the screen on a Sunday evening not to watch a cricket match or Mallu movie but to watch the Anil Ambani press conference. His first press conf. after his settlement with his Brother.
Anil is gonna do some real kickass stuff.
Companies he has Reliance Capital, Reliance Energy, Reliance Infocomm.........

Mega public issues expected in Reliance Infocomm, buybacks expected from Rel. Capital and Rel Energy........His plans and his vision makes all these three companies a good solid long term buy...

Anil Dhirbhai Enterprises as it known is bidding for Trans Harbour link in Bombay, Bombay Airport, MUTP projects in Bombay....

If you are bullish on India, this is a must have in your portfolio....

Last but not the least Anil is still a shareholder in Reliance Industries :))

Tirupati Balaji has also been instrumental is finding the solutiona and enriching the investor by over 10,000 crores since last month :))

mid-day's Sting operation fails........

Patil's guards slap reporter

this is the Mid-day version, the other version by the vernacular media is that the Female journo was trying to get naughty with RR patil.
There are 3 possibilities either :
1. The journo wasn't the raapchick like BarBalas
2. R R Patil must be having different orientations
3. He is an honest politician doing his job.

Sleaze Bombay style....

http://ww1.mid-day.com/news/city/2005/june/111452.htm

Mid-day does a sting operation on the silent or Pakdu bars in Bombay.

I'm after reading this story there will be a zillion tourists and terrorists and wannabe Cham Chams from all over India and abroad wanting to visit the PAdku Bar's.
As usual the Government and MAhila MAndals have made a mess of the existing night life culture......reforming the not so sleazy ladies bars in Pakdu Bars...
Mid-day by giving it front page coverage has given it total PUBLIC-SITY ....... over 7 lakh readers and over 10 lakhs who borrow the copy in the train will surely sniff around some Pakdu bars..

I guess they aren't wrong when they say "Duniya mein jo bhi hota hai ... Peth aur uske Neeche ke liye hota hai"

new pinch!!!

my new mobile...6585

Number wahi... sirf andaz naya :))

 

Met 3 gurus yesterday

Yesterday I went to the India Equity Show at the Nehru Centre, I met 3 innovators and leaders of the Indian Computing industry.
Prof. D.B.Phatak
IIT Mumbai
Everytime I listen to Prof Phatak's speeches its so full of nationalism and passion for doing and thinking big for our nation. I think he rocks big time and is a wonderful asset to our nation. We also talked about the 3-6 % equity that is to given to IIT Bombay for the incubation at Kresit. IITB finally after 4 years has a structure in place for accepting equity in return for incubation space and resources.
He has started the eKalavya project on open source with his own money and after doing a yatra to over 70 Engineering colleges to check and improve the level of IT education in India. I think now the government is thinking about funding this mission . I wish him all the best .
you can check it out at http://ekalavya.iitb.ac.in/index.jsp

Prof. Swami Manohar CEO PicoPeta
India's first academic start up with prof's having equity, the makers of the Simputers. Doing wonderful things for people who can't afford a computer and making India proud. As for me I would love to a simputer with Skype,SMS and Email & games.

http://www.picopeta.com/index.php

Rajesh Jain

The man behind the Internet revolution in India after selling IndiaWorld to sify for 115 million $.

D for Documentry!!!

'D'

RGV thinks he has taken the sole proprietor of educating India about the Underworld......
every Bacha knows about the Haji mastan, Karim Lala, Varda bhai,Bada & Chota Rajan, Ashwin & Amar Naik and Arun Gawli story......
Nuttin new old gyan on 70 MM wid Dolby sound.
I found the movie ok, nuttin great, no music, Isha kopikaar was a total waste, Chunky pandey and Goga Kapoor did some nice stuff... the hero 'D' (Randeep Hoonda)must have spoken some 10-15 sentences in the whole movie....
Overall a well made documentary on the rise of 'D' .......a prequel to Company :))

VFM Bombay Chinese Food

Best VFM under 50 bucks only on a Chinese Gadi

For every 2 Vada Pav Ghadis there are 5 Chinese Ghadi's in Bombay. The names start from Omkar Chinese stall to Mandarin Pure Chinese to Pure JAin Chinese...

One cant juss miss it, red in color, usually with diwali lights and series running all year round, gas cylinders, masalas....
There are there everywhere on the streets of Bombay after 6 pm in every nook and corner of the city. 90% of the people who eat Chinese don't know what to order so they ask the guy normally a Bahadur or Thapa who look authentic Chinese.
Most popularly ordered stuff one by two chicken fried rice and noodles and manchow soup ...
there prices are normally same all over the city except in Nariman point,VT, Churchgate area where you get extra gravy wid one veg Manchurian piece.

Stuff which you get unlimited schewan Chutney (not sauce), vinegar, Soya sauce, chilly sauce.......

Stuff which I normally order
chicken triple rice ( schewan rice, noodles, fry noodles, omlette on top, with Manchurian gravy with chicken pakodas = Price 35 bucks)
veg/chicken Hakka noodles ( 25/28 bucks)
veg/chicken Fried rice with gravy ( 25/28 bucks)
Lung Fung soup/ Manchow soup...I dunno why its called so but I end up putting all the sauces to make it rocket. ( Always have it one by two ... 20 bucks full)
Chicken lollypop ( 6 pieces =35 bucks)
Stuff I don't recommend
American Chopsuey ( sweet stuff targeted for gujjus)
Chicken 65
Chicken Hong Kong
Sweet Corn soup ( Either the corn or the flour is ever missing)
There are many Chinese stalls that allow you to have your booze in a clandestine operation...i.e steel glass mein

to sum it up
When - 6 pm to 1 am
where - all over the city
why - coz you like it and don't want to spend much
what to eat - read the blog
budget - around 50 bucks per head
Health Warning - don't eat too much rocket stuff, can be not so hygienic at times ( at over 100 degrees Gas flame dunno wot will survive)

Bombay mein jo Chinese milta hai woh China mein bhi nahi milta :)

"We apologize the site you are attempting to visit has been blocked due to its content being inconsistent with the religious, cultural, political and moral values of the United Arab Emirates."

Success is a long haul...

Someone I know was part of the initial team at IndiaInfoline, an online share trading Co which started in 1995... A company which saw more than its shares of problems dot com boom, bust, consolidation, boom again... it finally got listed at the Sensex, NSE at Rs. 76. He has over 40000 shares since the inception offloaded 5000 last week at Rs 80 something...

 

I'm not saying this just to blow sunshine up my ass or anything but I sincerely believe that success in a long haul, overnight success is as rare as Halley's Comet... There will be unpleasant times when people will have all sorts of things and advice for you but when you hit bingo the same people will do an about turn. 

 

I hope MyZus also also get listed on the Sensex or Nasdaq someday, I've a few ESOPS :))

 

Saturday Recce

We had an office junta lunch at Delhi Darbar, the food quality has deteriorated big time... though I ate 3.5 rumali rotis, butter chicken and Pahadi Chicken Masala and Dal tAdka......total full tummy but no major taste :))

After office me and my friend Bhatta decided to check out the if the book sellers are back as I wanted to a book "Maximum City". Bad luck... all the bookwallahs from Oval Maidan upto fountain.. barring a few have been evicted, though the media and some local politicians have been little supportive but having spoke to one of the book sellers he said " Matter abhi court mein hai... Aap ko mallum Adalat mein kya chutiyagiri hota aur zindagi nikal jayegi chakkar lagate lagate" .... I hope its not true ...

There are book sellers near Stan Chart Bldg till Khadi Bhavan but they aren't keeping much stock for fear of BMC.

Had a sukha Bhel minus mirchi, Malai wala Nariyal pani after doing the recce.

Since I was a kid I've always been fascinated by the "Kuch bhi Utao Dus Rupiye Mein" stalls.... outside the churchgate subway there is one of them a zillion things from torches to yo-yo's to Chinese batteries to jumbo ball point pens ....... I bought a jumbo red fluorescent Ball point pen .. which looks like some Jedi weapon :)


Also bought a few magazines to kill time on a Sunday from A.H Wheeler at the Station. ....Magazines I bought Outlook Money, Business Today, Business World...

Sunday is another day .....A day I look forward to zzzzzzzzzzz.

Naina.....the movie

 

1 word to sum it up ... PAKAAO!!!

Badhwar Park Beach

This is the dirty beach behind my office at Mittal Tower which I see every day from my office window, it stinks big time of fishes, crabs, garbage and god knows what.... But this image made me change my mind, this is also the real Bombay.... The real smell of Bombay..
No matter where I go the smell of the Mahim Creek, Fishes at Churchgate, smell of kababs and chicken at Bade Miya, the Chinese stalls at Nariman point are so much a part of my DNA that I have a craving to come back.....
Like they say love has no smell......

Only in a Irani Hotel

Its been ages since I had some decent Brun Maska, Paani kam Chai and Pudding , used to have it on a daily basis at an Irani Hotel in Shivaji Park, Dadar.
Most of the Irani restaurant's have either sold off to Shetty's or are selling PAv Bhaji, Pizza and Chinese... I guess another metamorphism of a key element of Bombay's soul.

Fed-up, Mumbai's top bookie surrenders

Fed-up, Mumbai's top bookie surrenders

Shoban KalaChowkie knew that it would be better to get himself arrested, get out on bail easily and avoid faltoo mein panga with the cops, so that he could be around when the reaction begins with India v/s Australia.
Bombay police is the biggest gang with a toli of 16000 men, D company, Rajan, Chota shakeel, Thakur, Mancherkar,Poojari gang combined are not more than 2000-3000.
Cricket Betting should be made legal and the government can earn huge revenues by way of taxes and spare the middle class of taxes.

I wanna read this ....

Would appreciate if anyone who has it can lend it to me or knows anywhere I can get a disount. My bookwallah near fountain has disappeared due to the BMC anti hawker drive...

How do you psyche someone.......

A Mallu - reject his passport application, deny him entry in Gelf for life & stop showing Shakeela movies on Surya TV

If you have the inside dope on how to phyce your own tribe, Go ahead and add on the comments section..

p.s I think my spelling of psyhce is wrong.. its not to be Confused with the Human Psyche... Its plain big time tormenting...

What's Bombay music??

Apart the filmy music that is played everywhere in Bombay the real music of is the Nasik Dhol played by the infinite Banjo Party's on streets during Ganpati, Holi, Indian cricket matches, weddings, election campaigns etc .
Everyone will stop, look around if he knows anyone,if no one around he too might join the crowd and shake a leg or two.. marao a few whistles, unleash the wilder side or the tapori in everyone of us.

I love this music and this is one music I can get up and dance without having the feeling am I doing the right thing, coz this cool ekdum Raanti dance is all about being yourself and discovering yourself... this was later discovered by Art of Living :))

Download this really awesome Nasik Dhol music ...... Don't juss listen, unleash yourself :)

Numerous weddings, cricket's funeral?

School Kids protesting against the Govt Decision.

All the maidans in Bombay will not be the same again if the DF Govt has its way, as such there is shortage of place to play and now this, the Government should find some other way of collecting money or else Cricket will die a slow death in Bombay's Maidans

As such all main maidans are encroached by druggies and hookers and now the Nasik Dhol and Shaadi party will add to the mess.

Azad Maidans is full of political rally's and people who are into fasting for no purpose.
Cross Maidans is for Circuses and the Melas
Only Oval Maidans & Shivaji Park has some cricket happening.
All the remaining cricket pitches on Marine Drive viz. Police, Hindu, Parsi, Islam, Grant Medical Gymkhanas are nothing but a money making racket they pay paltry sums of money to the Govt for their leases and earn crores without or with minimal investment for the betterment of the game.


Mid-day's report Numerous weddings, cricket's funeral?

Life is a gamble.......nahi kya!!

I spoke to someone yesterday who told me what a dodo I was to leave a steady job and get into stock-trading and lose money and become a laughing stock.

Well everyone is entitled to his or her opinion, I live life thoda Hatke... :))

On a serious note...
"One should always pursue your dreams if you don't, they will always come back to haunt you"

I did lose money, but trust me the thrill and excitment of day trading it next only to a Indo-Pak match in the last 5 overs. Besides I have my NCFM certification valid for 5 years and I have rented it to some broker :))
Some of the people whom I find cool are

• People who are well read.
• People who are opinionated and will stick to their stand.
• People who made money legally
• People who are good with numbers (mathematics, futures, options, lotto's, matka etc)
• People who did things to prove others wrong
• People who reply promptly (SMS,email, phone calls)
• People who have not let failures stop their conquest of life
• People who respect other people's time.
• People who have lived on the edge and ends of life and made it reasonably well.
• People who are crazy, have out of the box ideas and inventions.
• People who tell good jokes
• People who think India rocks and Bombay Lives on....

If you fit in any of these list, you are cool for me :))

Digging Bombay

It Sockss!!

While shifting to my new place a big packet of Socks juss vanished, There was chaos in my house and a search warrant had to be issued my dad, mom and me all trying to trace the missing socks. Finally I decided fuck it, ... Idea!!! I can borrow socks from my friend Amol who happened to be in town at the right moment to catch a train to Bangalore.
I went to work like a Bhaiyya, psued shoes wid no socks... thought of buying a pair at Borivali station but no shop was open. The good Samaritan that Amol is, got a pair of socks for me , I wore them in office.
Then my dad knowing my great ability to forget reminded me to buy some socks. I go to Asiatic, the dept. store in Churchgate.. the salesman showed all kinda stupid socks from adidas to Ulhasnagar ka maal ... all freaking expensive 100-150 per pair, he also offered me a discount pack of 3 for 300..... Stuff was good but no point buying it if your are gonna lose it or it vanishes into oblivion ... I tell him "I'll be back"
There is a hawker outside the Churchgate subway..... I buy 6 pairs for 90 bucks!!

I always wonder where all the socks of the world must be hiding??

Vada-Pav ........Unification Snack of Bombay!!

You may ask wots da big deal about the vada-pav, well I think its the only true symbol of Bombay and is indeed cosmopolitan from every possible angle.

The marathi Manoos makes the vada.
The Moslem makes the Pav.
The Parsi-Irani most probably owns the Bakery that makes the pav.
The Goan is called Pavwallah.
You,me and 14 million other Bombayites eat the Vada Pav every other day.

Can you show me anyother food or snack jo itna kuch karta hai??


My Best Vada Pav joints
1. Outside Mithibai college - Wid butter, green chutney, sauce, rocket chutney
2. Sri Krishna, Dadar - only vada no pav, but ek dum mast... .
3. Jumbo Vada Pav, Thane - Jumbo wid lotsa Kanda
4. Outside CTO office, Fountain - Hot and tasty eat with the mirchi.
5. Outside Dadar Stn (platform #1) - Sukha chutney is asli Ghati masala with lasun (garlic)

I haven't tried the Jumbo Vada pav from the franchises around the city, so dunno how it is... Its said to be made perfect and untouched by humans, I guess that could be the reason Bombay doesn't eat it :))

Can you Crack this code???

1 13 7

you gotta tell me wot or who these numbers denote..
Clue : 3 wheels
Post your answers on the comments column?

Naya Trains for Bombaywallahs......

The so called new trains..... major Ch*$*$Pankthi....Its the same old train with some delta steel covering over the existing body and a new plastic-rubber handles, bars of steel are really weak and the trains wont last for more than 6-8 months in Bombay's crowd.
totally Thookpatti ka kaam hai...As if they have taken some Kadiya's and Welders to make a train for millions of commuters who criss cross between Match box homes and cramped offices on a daily basis.

Book Wallah's fight on.. hum tumare saath hai!!

I feel really bad for the book sellers in Fountain,Oval Maidan area whom the BMC is driving away due to some High Court order, These guys were always a part of the Bombay we all know, where else could you get the Da Vinci Code for 50 Bucks or the Harry Potter series for 200 bucks. I think this is all part of the biggies Oxford, Crossroads and Magna who want these guys out of business who really make a great impact on their bottom line.
I will not buy books from Oxford or Crossroads as a mark of protest..... Maybe if I get some book free I may change my mind :))
BMC guys also don't deserve any baksheesh for spoiling n trampling the books.

Here's what Mid-day has to say

Back in da colony

2 days widout the internet connection and I was feeling like I'm in the stone age... just moved to a new house in I.C Colony, Borivali, a place where I lived since childhood. The house is kinda mess as if some tornado hit our house... Infinite raddi paper and furniture left behind by the earlier owner... I have to clean up the mess and set my things...
The new internet connection from Pacenet is damn good 64 kbps unlimited at 925 bucks,
At work tomorrow I have to outline a plan to my team to push our sales. I'm working on the draft model as of now :))
My Dad has been drinking beers non stop since last 2 days, and has been greeting all my childhood friends and then asking what is their name... I guess local amnesia has taken another victim.

I intend to make my room really cool and wacky, some cool amplifier connections,wacky compy trolley, FM radio, etc etc... not much ideas though... suggestions are always welcome...

Also I have a few furniture that the previous owner has left behind, lemme know if anyone wants them.

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to obedience and warmth.

In love, you feel the most alive when your partner is patient and never willing to give up on you.

You'd like to your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that you'll never change.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was insecure and in constant need of reassurance.

Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage pessimistically. You don't think happy marriages exist anymore.

In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted.

What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

Kya kool hai hum :))

 

Many people ask me friends and not so great souls "yaar tu kabhi ghussa nahi hota kya"... I say hota hai kabhi kabhi...thoda time ke liye hota hai in the heat of matter or just my immediate reaction...

What do I do?? do I get even or fcuk the person's happiness.. well no... These are something which I find so 1987 kinda stuff.... I guess in today's world of AOL... wtf is dat... that's art of living... I normally try to discover humour in every situation, do a due diligence and do a post mortem of every situation, give the culprit the benefit of the doubt...  be a good listener, hear out, not jump to conclusions and then use the great mantra "Dil Dariya G### samundar" and inculcate forgiveness... I guess forgiveness sounds too godly something on those lines... or get yourself bribed to a treat or free drink :))

"One who travels light travels the farthest" - Old Zen saying.

So I guess one shouldn't burden one self with unnecessary baggage like jealousy, contempt,  extra pride ,envy, anger
covetousness... wow, I guess if we are able to get a few of this we all be known as the Enlightened One... wid a Halo or a Bulb over our head :))

WHY ARE PEOPLE MEAN?

Random surfing on Google yielded this...Martha Beck is a writer and has been on the Oprah Winfrey show, and all the gyan is courtesy Oprah's site..

WHY ARE PEOPLE MEAN?
By Martha Beck

Someone insults you (and your little dog, too). You can retaliate, whimper—or exercise your own vast power. Martha Beck shows you how to rewrite your own character.

Why Are People Mean?
The first time I saw a T-shirt that said "mean people suck," I thought, Now, there is a heartfelt sentiment, succinctly expressed. I only wished I'd been the author. I mention this because recently I've encountered several mean people, and I've had to remind myself that the concept of authorship is key to surviving these experiences.

I don't know about you, but my favorite ways of reacting to mean people are (1) getting mean right back or (2) lying down quietly to display the word welcome! written where my spine used to be. Annoyingly, my job constantly reminds me that there's a more responsible and effective way to live. That's how it is for us authors. I say "us" because you're an author, too. Not all of us write for publication, but every living person has the power of authorship when it comes to composing our lives. Meanness emerges when we believe that we have no such power, that we're passive receptors of life's vagaries. Inner peace follows when we begin responding to cruelty—our own and other people's—with the authority we've possessed all along.

Why are people mean? Here's the short answer: They're hurt. Here's the long answer: They're really hurt. At some point, somebody—their parents, their lovers, Lady Luck—did them dirty. They were crushed. And they're still afraid the pain will never stop, or that it will happen again.

There. I've just described every single person living on planet Earth.

The fact is that we've all been hurt, and we're all wounded, but not all of us are mean. Why not? Because some people realize that their history of suffering can be a hero's saga rather than a victim's whine, depending on how they "write" it. The moment we begin tolerating meanness, in ourselves or others, we are using our authorial power in the service of wrongdoing. We have both the capacity and the obligation to do better.

Kaal is Fcukall!!!

Orbit National Park, Tigers, Owls, Langoors, Scorpions, bats...... and of course 2 bimbo wid their heroes...

 

makes sense.. don't worry, Even after watching the whole movie you'll say WTF!!!

 

Here's da plot...

This is about project tiger ..... saving the wild beasts in the Corbett (orbit) national park.....the jungle is haunted and lotsa researchers and tourist are killed in mysterious circumstances....

2 baba- baby jodis and 2 morons visit the national for their own trip where they encounter death and suspense and some wild animals...

 

The movie typical of any dharma productions creates hype, gets people to da theatres and fool them big time....

 

the start and the end of the movie has an item number .... first by SRK- Malaika jodi and then by the 2 baba-bay jodis....

 

lara dutta and eesha deol are in the whole movie as if they are on MTV grind, I guess no one told them about the macchars and leeches in the jungle. Vivek Oberoi still in the halo that he can bash up Sallu, carries that in the movie I can bash anyone up... John Abraham has done a bit decent role no major dialogs rendered and made decent use of the Sony Viao in the movie...

Ajay Devgan still needs to clean his cigarette stains, I thought after Gangajal he would have cleaned , but then he is filmy kuch b kar sakta hai....

 

Overall its an ok movie I give it 5/10 for the sound effects and no songs and ok level of suspense..

spotted danny devito in a sari store in udaipur.....we did a road trip to north india, the local guides force you to visit the shops and see infinite sarees..this guy was really funny, I guess the ladies man :))..........I just installed picasa and hello with the blogger feature, makes posting pics real easy without the html jhanjhat :))  

Gola!!!!!!!!!! yummy and really cool...... you can get a mixed ice slush for 5 bucks with all colors..... why am I posting this.. well I juss recovered from a bout of acute cough thanks to this gola... worth the risk?? ofcourse... maybe sometime sooonish... 

sandy's b'day 2001..........no gr8 parties since then... I hope he makes a few million dollars to throw a party like dat....As for I'm buying the lotto ticket tomorrow... 

Tuesday thunderball amt is 8.70 crores...

Tuesday thunderball amt is 8.70 crores...

I'm not good at tying a tie... i know only the simple style... single knot... where the triangle or samosa is not proper... I'm learning, watch this space in a weeks time :))

tiring day so far....

class="mobile-post">

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...

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.

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...

Hitch -- Definite Dekko..

Awesome romantic comedy , saw it on a pirated VCD with gr8 print...
I give it 8/10, really original comedy ... Will Smith rocks and so does Eva Mendes.. Definitely hot..

Plot Outline: While helping his latest client woo the fine lady of his dreams, a professional "date doctor" (Smith) finds game doesn't quite work on the gossip columnist (Mendes) with whom he's smitten
check out imdb.com

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
