What I have been at..

• Hello All,
  
  How are ya fellas ? I hope everyone is doing great.
  
  I guess you are not here just by chance and hence let me not waste your time in the sweet-nothings, which I dont really mean. You might be having a bad day, in the worst of health, or maybe some of the worst times of your life. There is nothing I can do to bail you out.
  
  BUT...
  
  I can surely point you out to a few things that might help you wander away from the drudgery that life can land you in. Being a prolific net surfer, I have come across many articles, snippets, columns that have made me glance thru more than once. I dont claim that these are elixirs to your problems but each day when I get up , I do like what I see, especially in the mirror. Humour yourself each day, laugh at your follies and voila life turns out to be an all new-ball-game. Do check them out and you too can have a laugh or two.

Humour and Satire have a thin-line between them. Humour comes at a cost. I am ready to bear it. ARE YOU ?

Enjoy !

PS: Will keep on adding more links for your benefit. Incase you happen to step on one that is a dead end mail me off and I will try to get it out at the earliest.

Whats in a Name.. ?

Just read the ET article on GSPC striking $ 50 biliion gas in KG basin. Sounded interesting.. so I read on..

Grappled with curiosity, I couldn't wait to reach the end of the article.. but then, in the very first line on the fifth para I read something that sent me rolling-on-the-floor, holding my stomach, laughing it out. Before you guys get a dose of it... here is a precursor..

Microsoft names its forthcoming version of Windows ..... one that is supposed to change the way an operating system is perceived by the IT community.. as Longhorn...

Apple christens its latest OS .... the best release of all the Operating Systems Apple has every churned out from its factories..one that is ready to take Windows head-on...as Tiger

Such is the legacy of connotations that follow anything of great magnitude.. anything that is supposed to have a great impact on future events.. atleast in foresight.

Now, our very own, home grown, GSPC calls the largest find the past 30 years.. one that can meet the needs of Delhi and Mumbai single-handedy... Deendayal

It would not take a shrewd reader's brain nor the quintessential bibliophile to pose this question.... "What in gods name is that ?"
But, if you are a keen follower of the Indian media... one is supposed to take such idiosycnracies in ones stride.. make it a part of ones walk-of-life.. one is expected to LIVE WITH IT.

But that makes one wonder... how long will this.. what the heck.. who cares.. attitude continue..
If such is the prudence displayed by these so-called behemoths in the indian energy sector in casting appellations that overshadow the very significance of an invention or a discovery; when will the world ever take notice of what India is all about. When will it know that it is more than a land of snakes and camels.. When will it know that people in India do more than just breeding..

Sigh !!.....This leads me to only one conclusion... only one philosophy.. which has had its roots deep inside the echelons of the psyche of the indian people
I AM NOT OK... YOU ARE NOT OK.. BUT THATS OK...
