Shoe to the rescue

-
In a few hours I take a giant step right off my country into the emerald isle situated to the south of India. A few days ago I took another giant step. I got married.

It was beautiful. Marriage is beautiful, if you do it with the right person.

I have learnt that there is no fixed method to assess whether someone is right for you or not. Each of us is unique and we need to judge based on ourselves. It’s no use following romantic books and movies. But one rather simple way is the ‘happiness test’. Are you happy with each other?

I am happy and wish for every couple to be the same.

You will hear more from me next from Colombo where I shall be tentatively stationed for the next two years…

PS: i thought i woudn't have any time left to do this before we leave for the airport, but then his shoe strap broke and he had to step out to go get it repaired. Shoe to the rescue :)

SL is a great place to be. Travel around the country while you're there. It's fabulous! (http://www.flickr.com/photos/hypnotype)

Hi Shek, welcome to my blog. Well, i am still scouting around. JWT offered me a position in Account management as opposed to account planning.

Today meeting Mccann.

Lets see.

I was at O&M bangalore in 2004, for a brief period.

Narendra Modi - protector of Hindutva?

This is not an anti-Hindu post. This is not a pro-Muslim post. This is not a BJP vs Congress post. This is about Narendra Modi and Hindutva Please keep that in mind when leaving comments. Now that I have cleared that, I want to ask all you people who are proud to be Hindu’s, are you also proud of the so called ‘protectors’ of Hinduism via 'hindutva'? The Tehelka Exposure has left us in no doubt of the Gujrat Goverment's hand in orchestrating the cold blooded massacre in 2002. There is no room for debate on that front anymore. Members of the VHP, Bajrand Dal and Shiv sena confess with pride their hand in the cold murder of Muslim men, women and children. They raped them, cut their limbs and burnt them. Just an instance: Babu Bajrangi, then VHP leader, current Shiv Sena Leader, brags that he ripped open the stomach of a pregnant woman. I have grown up with an adequate exposure to the Ramayana, the Mahabharata and the Geeta. The amount any regular Hindu is exposed to in this c...

The joke in stereotypes

-
I often come across people who form opinions about people based on stereotypes. I have always campaigned against it. However, many continue to adamantly stick to their opinions. Women can not be interested in sports Blonds are dumb Sardar ji’s are fools Muslims have a natural inclination to become terrorists People from Bihar lack culture Gujrati’s are misers There are many more that one can think of. While all these stereotypes are based on certain facts and perhaps figures. It still doesn’t make sense to judge an individual based on the colour of his/her hair or the country of his/her origin. One must judge a person for what he/she is. I know most of the readers of this post are in agreement with me but I’m truly disheartened by the number of people who allow themselves to get swayed by such stereotypes. Here’s the joke: As part of my job, I had to attend a few focus group discussions of late. In every group, one typically finds a smart guy who knows more than the rest and speaks bet...

Narendra Modi for PM? - No Thanks!

-
Some people think Narendra Modi should be India's PM. Here’s why I disagree. Whatever arguments, one may have in favour of him, we need to face it - certain truths about him can not be brushed under the carpet. Let us clearly understand that those who support Modi are in fact in favour of everything he stands for. 1) Modi belongs to the tribe that subscribes to the belief system that works with a vision, towards a "hindu rashtra". Where Muslims and Christians and whoever else need to understand and accept their proper place in the system. (for “good” reason of course based on a few actual and a few doctored historic facts) 2) He is capable of stooping to inhuman levels for this. And he is capable of not feeling any remorse for the tragedy. He claims it to be a "natural reaction". 3) Modi is capable of and does in fact see qualities that are worth admiring in Hitler. Gujrat will flourish even without Modi. The nation too, is and will continue to progress even wit...
