India's Gold Hunt.

Paes-Sania beat Satoshi Iwabuchi and Akiko Morigami of Japan 7-5, 5-7, 6-2 to win the Mixed doubles GOLD!!
Also Leander & Bhupathi survived 7 match points in the Doubles against Thailand to win 5–7, 7–6, 6–3
But apna Sania lost her final against China's Zheng 4-6, 6-1, 1-6.

To watch a match in the stadium in an electifying atmosphere in itself but to hear the National Anthem and the Bhangra music in a foreign country gives you the goose bumps and bloats oneself with pride.

What your view Secularism - Good or Curse

In my post about Riches to rags to Rags, I had put my views on my hate for religious fundamentals and morons, I got a strange reply from one Harsha who seemed paranoid about secularism and Christians and Moslems taking over India. and think secularism is a curse to India.

I respect his right to opinion and replied back to him in the comments section justifying my support for Secularism.

 

http://bombaylives.blogspot.com/2006/11/from-riches-to-rags-to-riches.html#links

 

I would appreciate if readers could share their views on where they stand, What's your views on Secularism, Right Wing Politics and Fundamentalism in India.

Bahrain Rains & floods

Jiby has captured the floods n rains in Bahrain, check it out http://www.flickr.com/photos/48589524@N00/

 

If it rains like this every years soon the whole of Gulf will turn into a real Alleppy.

 

Please not that there are no gutters in the Gulf, so when it rains Water doesn't get an outlet... I'm sure someone must be saying Global Warming Al Haraam!!

 

 

 

 

How to get License in Bombay.

Though I dont agree with Salman khan or the other Bandra boy's rash driving but people have no business sleeping on the road.

Footpath is for walking, hawking,magic shows, pick-pocketing but not for sleeping, those who sleep there for whatever ever economic reason need to sleep somewhere else..

I hope the goverment relocates the sleepers in the Maidans & National Park and make drunk driving a less fatal affair.

Theory is when you know something, but it doesn't work.
Practical is when something works, but you don't know why.

Programmers combine theory and practical :

Thanks Preity for the Quote, I am going through the trauma real time as we speak :) 

Scam or Real thing.

http://www.helppoojafindherparents.org/

 

This mail is doing the rounds of all Email fwd groups in Gulf, The mail requests people to help Lil Pooja find her parents Munni & Raju from Nagaluppe. 

 

Mallus all over Kerala and the world have become Agent Scully & Moulder trying to Locate Nagaluppe & the kids parents.

 

They are investing on the Google, yahoo answers, orkut, mass email fwds, charismatic groups, collection funds, u name it...

 

I personally think this is a prank done by a Bored Techie, but then there is no money request or pray for her , the site doesn't even have Google Adsense.

 

I'm confused.. I hope Tehelka, Aj Tak & Asianet get on the bandwagon.

 

Its Raining, Its Raining - Dekho Baarish ho rahi hai :))

Doha woke up to a very wet morning :)
The climate is damn sexed out for a few pegs of Rum & Whiskey. The rains are always welcome for a hot destert state but with only 10 days left for the Asian Games I hope its doesnt dampen the sprits and efforts behind the Games.

Check out some random pics shots today morning.

Mallu Joke from CNB
freegeek: why was a mallu thrown out of a grocery store?
freegeek: coz he asked for wHOReLICKS

:)

Understanding da Tribe M

One thing I've noticed is that once a Mallu (my tribe) gets a firm footing in any organization his next task is to get more people from his family, foster family, relatives, friends, enemies list. He then create the Mallu brigade which does the great Mallu politics and screws up the work culture for the benefit of others including other Mallus.
That means lower salaries, incentives and in-built super crab and an Indian work culture.
Companies like this coz this reduces costs and bosses love people who suck up to then and act as khabris for them.

Then you have the great Mallu pirv drive (Chanda, Varghani, collection Drive), Every mallu is usually part of Marthoma Church Fund, RC Church Fund, Jacobite Church Fund, Mosque Fund, Sabrimala Fund or the Amway.Gold Quest Schemes Fund.... He has a forced target collection of minimum 2000 Riyal or Dirhams for he will catch/con/physce/scare anyone irrespective of which his imaginary friend he believes in or trust his money with.

More dreadful than that is conning of a fellow Mallu by a smarter Mallu to join the Amway or Gold Quest Scam who then has the unholy task of conning 3 more guys in the chain.

The same things are applicable to Mallus all over including India some people like my Dad has dual memberships in Malayalee Samajam, Kerala Catholic Union and Ayyappa Seva Samiti ..

But having said that a Mallu will go out of the way even at his/her own expense to help you at times and genuine cases.

Keep the faith and share a drink with the Mallu.

This post is published to help the world understand and interact in a better manner for their own good and understand the Mallu tribe and its physce.

HORN OK PLEASE

"HORN OK PLEASE" is a film directly inspired by director Joel Simon´s journey in the heat and frenzy of Mumbai, India. It follows a monotonous day in the life of an Indian taxi driver whose goal is to earn enough rupees to buy the air-conditioned taxi of his dreams... The film was made over a 10 month period by Irish and Indian animators and Joel simon, a Belgian director. It´s a combination of claymation and hand drawn backgrounds.

Watch it here http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=841665133

This is one of the best claymations I've seen :)

From riches to rags to riches

Parsoli's MD Zafar Sareshwala's inspiring rags to riches story afterthe damage suffered by the company during Gujarat riots published inHindustan Times today..

http://hindustantimes.com/news/181_1839214,000900040003.htm

Real strong story about the guy who braved multiple tragedies and triumphed over all odds...

Its another reason to hate the like of HKL Bhagat, Sajjan Kumar, Tytler, Advani, Modi, Thackeray, VHP, Bajrang dal... They are bad for the India's unity and Economy at large.

I wonder if any of them will ever be brought to justice.

Khosla ka Ghosla - 3.5/5

A real smooth refreshing movie with no no-nonsense, simple comedy shot brilliantly in real locations around Delhi.

Its a Comical yet Realistic Story about a Family who beats a con man in his own game of Land Grabbing.

Points : 3.5/5

Blogged Later: Chak De Phatte is an awesome song by Kailash Kher.

The movie is cool because my Dad resembles Anupan Kher in many ways, Actually my Dad is a combination of Wagle and Anupam Kher. He is definitely one of the most hilarious people on the planet and someone who like in the movie fought in vain a court battle for property for over 18 yrs coz he din't use the easier way of going to his Shakha Pramukh freind and is still not lost his sense of humour.

Shall blog more on my Dad later in ...
Here's he being himself...

The movie is a time-pass movie, chalta hai types...I found the movie lenghty and with some useless and untimely songs, the comedy ok but wasn't that great, no great plot.

I will not try to explain the plot and gist of the movie and its not worth the effort.

Its a crazy movie with Salman,Akshay, Preity & Anupam Kher with delta entertainment value.
Please watch it if you have free time like me on a Friday evening and nothing better to do.

2.5/5 points

Do Buy!

An ethnographic film on the city, its disenfranchised workers, utopian architecture, and consumerist heaven of shopping malls.
Starring Toyota Landcruiser, Outspoken Pakistani Security Gaurd and few a more expats.
There are many untold stories of Expats and trevellers in the Gulf, This documentry is just one of them.. I hope this starts a trend of independent movie making in the Gulf and tell the world its story.

Life's Little Instruction Book-worth reading !!!

I dunno if you have got this as a email forward, I was cleaning my inbox and
ended up re-reading it again and recollecting how many thing things I've
done, done right and done wrong.. Really cool book.. Better than many of the
ones holy guys want us to read.

Life's Little Instruction Book

. Have a firm handshake.

. Look people in the eye.

. Sing in the shower.

. Own a great stereo system.

. If in a fight, hit first and hit hard.

. Keep secrets.

. Never give up on anybody. Miracles happen everyday.

. Always accept an outstretched hand.

. Be brave. Even if you're not, pretend to be. No one can tell
the difference.

. Whistle.

. Avoid sarcastic remarks.

. Choose your life's mate carefully. From this one decision will
come 90 per cent of all your happiness or misery.

. Make it a habit to do nice things for people who will never
find out.

. Lend only those books you never care to see again.

. Never deprive someone of hope; it might be all that they have.

. When playing games with children, let them win.

. Give people a second chance, but not a third.

. Be romantic.

. Become the most positive and enthusiastic person you know.

. Loosen up. Relax. Except for rare life-and-death matters,
nothing is as important as it first seems.

. Don't allow the phone to interrupt important moments. It's
there for your convenience, not the caller's.

. Be a good loser.

. Be a good winner.

. Think twice before burdening a friend with a secret.

. When someone hugs you, let them be the first to let go.

. Be modest. A lot was accomplished before you were born.

. Keep it simple.

. Beware of the person who has nothing to lose.

. Don't burn bridges. You'll be surprised how many times you
have to cross the same river.

. Live your life so that your epitaph could read, No Regrets

. Be bold and courageous. When you look back on life, you'll
regret the things you didn't do more than the one's you did.

. Never waste an opportunity to tell someone you love them.

. Remember no one makes it alone. Have a grateful heart and be
quick to acknowledge those who helped you.

. Take charge of your attitude. Don't let someone else choose it
for you.

. Visit friends and relatives when they are in hospital; you
need only stay a few minutes.

. Begin each day with some of your favourite music.

. Once in a while, take the scenic route.

. Send a lot of Valentine cards. Sign them, 'Someone who thinks
you're terrific.'

. Answer the phone with enthusiasm and energy in your voice.

. Keep a note pad and pencil on your bed-side table.
Million-dollar ideas sometimes strike at 3 a.m.

. Show respect for everyone who works for a living, regardless
of how trivial their job.

. Send your loved ones flowers. Think of a reason later.

. Become someone's hero.

. Marry only for love.

. Count your blessings.

. Compliment the meal when you're a guest in someone's home.

. Wave at the children on a school bus.

. Remember that 80 per cent of the success in any job is based
on your ability to deal with people.

. Don't expect life to be fair.

Graham’s 10 Signs of a Bargain Stock

Jk Lasser in the Book "How to pick stocks like Warren Buffet" writes on Benjamin Graham 10 signs of a bargain stock

A company would have to meet seven of the following ten criteria (as laid out
in Security Analysis) before Graham would consider it a cheap stock:

1. An earnings-to-price yield (the opposite of the price-earnings ratio) that
is twice the current yield of an AAA (top-rated) bond. If bonds are yielding
5 percent, the earnings yield of a stock should be 10 percent. In other
words, you could get 5 percent fairly safely; to take on the risk of a stock,
you want twice the possible reward.
2. A p-e ratio that is historically low for that stock. Specifically, it should be
two-fifths of the average p-e ratio the shares had over the past five years.
3. A dividend yield of two-thirds of the AAA bond yield. (Obviously, stocks
that don’t pay dividends wouldn’t qualify under this rule.)
4. A stock price that is two-thirds of the tangible book value per share.
5. A stock price that is two-thirds of the net current asset value or the net
quick-liquidation value.
6. Total debt lower than tangible book value.
7. A current ratio of two or more.
8. Total debt that’s not more than net quick-liquidation value.
9. Earnings that have doubled within the past ten years.
10. Earnings that have declined no more than 5 percent in two of the past ten
years.

The individual investor, Graham counseled, should adapt these rules to his
or her own situation.
• If an investor needs income, he or she should pay special attention to rules
1 through 7—especially, of course, to rule 3, the one requiring high
dividends.
• An investor who wants safety along with growth might pay special attention
to rules 1 through 5, along with 9 and 10.
• An investor emphasizing growth can ignore dividends, but should pay
special attention to rules 9 and 10, underweighting 4, 5, and 6.

Readers : If you need the book do let me know, its a must read for any investor or follower of the markets. .

Republican Ad Campaign

I wish our politicians also had some below the belt Ad campaign instead of the usual Fights in the Parliament

Random Stuff

• If astrologers and Tarot card readers can help you handle your future by adding a few alphabets or K can they help you with portfolio advice and predict they Sensex/Nifty movements.
• Why is that the price of a Stock zooms the moment you sell the share.
• Will Sanjay Dutt face jail this week?, I personally think he has already spent 18 months jail and he should be acquitted.   Besides anyone whose mom is Mother India cant be a terrorist, The real terrorists are the ones who are sitting in power and scot free after committing religious mayhem and screwing up the nation.
• Why do as Sales guys have to give Golis to clients, The un-ending Chakravyuh of golis are sometimes just too much, Its only a matter of time someone's conscience will snap and say "Boss Hum tumko Chutiya bana rahe hai"
• For the first time India's Investment abroad has exceeded FDI in India.
•  Why isn't there be a Global Wi-fi service where people can pay by the hour using Credit card or Paypal using the 108 free GPS satellites.
• Life is a game. Money is how we keep the score.  (Nishit fm Directi's email signature)

Dor

Just saw Dor on DVD, one of the most colourful and Vibrant movie of the year. Amazing cinematography and contrasting locations, from the Dry Sand dunes of Rajasthan to green lush mountains to Himachal Pradesh.

Dor is the story about 2 different women from different places connected by a common incident in Saudi Arabia. Its about a women's quest and journey to seek pardon for the Husband who faces death penalty for the accidental death of his friend. The only way she can save her husband is if the victims wife signs the MAafinama(Pardon petition) as per Saudi Law.
The movie brings out the best in Ayesha Takia, Gul Panag also does a great job and ye Shreyas Talpade who plays a Bahuroopiya finally speaks and he surely does speak and mimic more than needed.
Like every Nagesh Kuknoor film it has good songs by Salim-Sulaiman.The best songs are Yeh Honsla, Imaan Ka Asar, Kesariya Balam

Worth a Dekko 3.5/5
G1. As usual Nagesh Kuknoor saved money by giving himself a role in the movie.
G2. Ayesha Takia has no hot scene so don't get the DVD if your expecting any hot scenes.
G3. During the shooting of the climax Train scene Ayesha Takia trips and falls while running parallel to the train.
G4. Ayesha considers Nagesh Kuknoor as her Brother :)), Poor Nagesh KLPD.

Don Rocks

Just saw Don at the shady Doha Cinema.
Well made and well shot with total suspense... Must Dekko!!

I would give 4/5.

It was Eid Holiday out here in Doha, The cinema was jam pack like some desi theatre with people fighting and geesing in the lines. It was a rare full house show with people fighting inside the theatre with Cops arresting a few while movie was on.

It was very much worth the effort to see a well made remake.

Happy Diwali and Happy Eid

May this Diwali and Eid bring all the Happiness & Prosperity in your lives.

best wishes

Baba Ghanoush - The Answer

The problem with Buffet's is that I am always confused what to eat and what not to eat.

And yes Arabic food is my favorite :))
I was down with fever and cough but couldn't afford to miss this mega event, infact the food did pep me up.

Street Fighters

Street Fighters, originally uploaded by mzsatish.

Shiv sena(Udhav Thackeray) & MNS (Raj Thackeray) group doing waht they do the best.. Street Battles.

Shiv Sena has over 40 years doing this while MNS is on new turf.
For those who came in late Shiv Sena fought Street Battles with Gujaratis, Madrasis, Dalits, Communists, Muslims, Bhaiyas and now they fighting among themselves.

I'm sure there might be many non maharashtrians watching this comedy and saying " I"m Lovin It"

As for me personally I wish they did the wresting in the Sardar Patel Wresting Stadium in Worli ..

They guys who are having the last laugh Narayan Rane, Ganesh Naik and Chaggan Bhujbal ...

DNA says Sorry

Hi guys, I just received the mail from Anuradha sengupta, the senior editor from DNA apologizing for the flick.
from my side I shall continue reading DNA and give them my pics whenever needed of course with due credit.

 

Here's the mail.

 

Dear Satish,

 

Hi. I bring out the Sunday city features page. I am really sorry about the incident. It isn't Laiq Qureshi who is at fault. I had taken that photo as a refererral -- and Laiq had been told to get the actual picture from IC Colony church authorities. I had thought if Laiq wasn't able to get the pic by the deadline, I'd use yours with your permisson. If he got the pic, I'd replace the picture on the page.

 

Laiq did get the photo the next day. It was even scanned. It was to be put on the page, but, ultimately, somehow got overlooked in the deadline chaos. Once again, I am profusely sorry about this. Believe me, it was completely unintentional. I never meant to plagiarise. It has happened to a close friend of mine whose entire portfolio of pix on Ladakh got put on the web by a friend of his under his own name. I'd never ever do that.

 

Regards

 

Anuradha Sengupta
