Wake up SID!!!

Sid:-

born on the 5th of october, 1985, still a bachelor, Mallya of our bhai brigade, naughty boy of ITM, available 24/7 with open heart & keys of his ever changing cars...

That's sid for us. Yaaron ka tashan  !                       

LIke every year, he is going to celebrate his Bud-day with all the solid and liquid things available in the market openly  with some of his 331 orkutian friends(Guess what, i'm invited too;  don't be jealous, better luck next year.)

I don't want to say this face-to face but i'm trying this by writing...i'd like to request him to be different this time. Remember taking that first drink or that first yes to a girl  thinking that we just have one life so why not try everything once. Same way i want him to try change this time. What this change could be; its upto him to decide (visit to orphanage, distributing foods or study material to an NGO..blah, blah, blah. bored na!). Or it could be ....
why not take a round of delhi and fill your Digicam with life & talent distributed on your city roads. That could be a part of your Bday'09  Album and we'll have some classic pics.

Remember that Gandhiji's talismen on frontpage of every CBSE book .We have crammed hundreds of those books but none of us thought about that. This october why not do something that'll bring smiles to a less fortunate ; that smile will be priceless and you'll remember that for the rest of your life.
This is not just for you, it's for all of us. Let this october be different.

And sorry i won't be attending your B'day bash; busy schedule  you know.

Wishing you a happy and prosperous birthday.

"We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise we harden."

Air conditioner and the joke

Here is the world's cheapest A.C's

And here is the joke(not actually) which Vishal forwarded to me on the eve of voting day.

" We live in a funny nation, where pizza reaches home faster than the ambulance or Police.!!

A lighter joke but a bitter truth... Please vote."

But i didn't vote because my name was not in the voter's list. Don't ask why....................

पहचान

जाने क्यूँ कुछ लोग अन्ज्जाने से लगते है,
होते है पास फिर भी बेगाने से लगते है;
दुश्मन है तू कोई नही कहता ,
दोस्त भी आजमाने लगते है.
अकेलऐ है सब कोई नही समझता ,
काफिले के ख्वाब सज्जाने पड़ते है;
अर्जुन को कोई द्रोणाचार्य नही मिलता ,
मिटटी के गुरु रोज बनने पड़ते है.
जबान भी काम नही आती अपनी,
आंखों से संवाद चुराने पड़ते है;
जीतना चाहता है हर कोई ये ज़ंग,
जीत के आसूं छुपाने पड़ते है.
जिंदगी पूछती तेरी औकात क्या,
दोस्तों के नाम गिनने पड़ते है;
माँ-बाप का सहारा था मुझको वरना ,
अजन्मो को भी प्रमाण बनाने पड़ते है.
शुरू कहा कब ख़तम कोई नही जाने,
हर एक को कुछ किरदार निभाने पड़ते है;
खुशी के साथ विदा हो इस जग से ,
गम्मो के बोओझ पूरे रस्ते उठाने पड़ते है .
कहते है शायद कोई पगला गया है,
अपने से ये विचार सबको बेगाने से लगते है;

Imagine life without imagination

Hello and happy diwali to all the readers and non-readers .
Just back from a fest of an MBA college ,my friend gaurav is attending.During the extempore their one guy asked us to use our imagination in the songs containing the word DIL(heart) which he is going to sing,replace dil with some other word and see the fun.Then he sang some ,and you should have been their to see the srowd going mad as a drunkun elephant.Here is an example.
"Do dil mil rahe hai,magar chhupke chupke...."
Just give it a try ..
Then some days later in a hindi daily paper,a management author gives an example of an old guy who muted the sound of an adertisement going on TV,and give it his own meaning to explain the importance of education to village girls.That was a pretty good imagination,and a worthy one.

That remind me of some imaginations of mine ,which i am giving here for you to imagine.
I'm not a genius or an old experienced person so,sorry if some thing i'm writing is not correct.
Here they are............
Give them a try
Imagine bhagat singh tricked and escaped from british prison,just a day before he was to be hanged.
Imagine what could have been the course of history if subhash chnadra bose didn't died in the plane crash,came back to india ,form a strong army here,what could have been the scene of british colonial sun.
Or atleast imagine,jinnah died 6 months earlier,pakistan was not formed.United hindustan ,the biggest independent democracy.
Sorry if i sound overimaginative ,but i believe in what Einstein told me(although not personally)
That" imagination is more important than knowledge"
Ok lets continue with some more imaginations...
indira gandhi changed her bodyguards on IB's advice...
that single decision could have saved lives of thousands of people, millions of rupees ,and god knows what else including her also.
Lets be a little faster...........
Imagine no emergency,no strict rules.then you won't have Salim-Javed giving you your angry young man ,who still give a competition to some of the young stars of bollywood today .
Imagine Rajiv Gandhi not getting into politics,no Sam Pitroda,no telecom revolution in india,no internet,no blogs,then you would have beeen reading Dickens or chetan bhagat or maybe bill gates.

Imagine no caste sytem in india, no cheap labour, no outsourcing, no IT revolution,no globalisation,no software.most of my friends jobless,and so on.

Imagine no 9/11,easy entry to US,me doing MBA from harward,u doing job there or vice-versa,as you like.


Continuing the tradition of imagination , i present to you one old question,where you have to use your imagination ,but you generally prefer copying somebody else's imagination,somebody who imagine for making money(read-MBD guides,ten year papers, etc.).Here i will request you to do it yourself.

1.What would you do if you were
a.)Prime minister of India?
b.)Captain of India Cricket Team?
c.)..............................
and the last but not the least"IMAGINE LIFE WITHOUT IMAGINATION ???????


enjoy.

EXAM TIME FOR POLITICS

good morning to them who want to wake up
                         and sweet dreams to the normal AAM AADMI,keep doing what you r doing.

You will get bored to know that i m asking a question to you,but i wont be able to give you any marks which you think proves your superiority,but still i have to ask.
This is a question to all the young turks,engineers  ,doctors whatever, original or farji you are.

This is something regarding our representatives ,the politicians,the system governing us all , me including.

The Background is common story of our lives which i m going to remind you in short and long.
We are born,sent to prep. to be able to secure admission in a good school.
The gate opens.......
welcome to school,here you are taking 3 exams and several test per year to maintain your seat
,to prove yourself to your parents ,guardians ,friends etc.Throughout the 15-16 years we are in school we took hundreds of exams,tests plus some special trials(read board,olympiad etc.) to prove were worth coming in this world...............
THE BELL GOES OFF forever...
out of school ,now we have to prepare for a nation wide test to get admission in a good college whether you we have to do B.E or B.A,test is must.Its ok ,gone through that,got admission ,completed 3/4/5... years.Out of it again get ready for another major
exam,the placement season  on now.Take written,participate in G.D,group tasks and whatever annoying questions you have to answer
(why you want this job?...coz you r the only one offering me )
OK you are a responsible person now,only because you r doing a job,just that .
know you need your better half,then someone to complete your family ...life goes on.

The axis of the story is competition/test/verification ...anything you know it as..
THE BIG Q is  
           as a common person we have to go through so many exams to prove our worth
, then why the person representing me,you ,us all have to pass the exam once in five year only?why !!!!!!!!!!!!
Why not every year,every month ,or if possible every day?
Why not have a system where we will analyse/vote our government on various parameters
(policy,execution,ethics,infrastructure development and other common parameters)

Obviously this is not feasible with our current voting system ,here our softy engineers could
help us,The people practicing typing all the time could type something for their 
fellow peoples.
We could have a web based system where we will assess our MP/MLAs/Minister etc on regionwise,statewise,nationwise basis.
Think a website where i will access my hometown's webpage and give marks to my regions's MP/MLA etc,you will do it for your region and so on.i know the problems in my GALLI ,my locality.
I could assess various development in my areas.We'll be having a second life, a virtual ,a utopian one
For ex. let's say i like the policy of disinvestment ,but i dont like the way in which the ruling party is handling the policy,so i will choose to keep the policy but change the government.
The common deciding parameter could be listed from intellectual sitting i india or abroad,
from economists,engineers,doctors, 
our (brain) drain pool ,or from our very own roadside international bestseller supplier.
Let's say i got a new transformer installed in my locality,as i m electrical engineer working 8 hours a day deciding load sizing for transformers in my company,i could do the same for my home ,i could check whether the transformer is of correct capacity or not.Sameway my MBA friend could check the finance records of his local governing body..... just like that

Now the thing is you will say w still don't have that much IT infrastructure.My answer is a very beautiful ,overused business word designed for developing countries like us that is OPTIMIZATION
Whatever we have ,we need to use that optimally.Use NGOs,Social networking sites,cybercafes....

This is what I THINK.
what do u  think?
Can you clear this exam.


Still want an easy escape,refer to

A political gameshow
may you like it ,atleast!
