Fancy name u might thnk haa !!!
This is known as catchin the customer by his/her eyes !!!
But as usual im nt here to sell any magic drug that will make u bruce willis or arnie (for tht matter who wants to be arnie now !!!)
Im nt here to market the latest new code that i made (wonder when we did tht...now in these days of reusability,,thnk its taken too far).
What I am here is for cathin u yes u Indians and making them see the reality, the truth.
All of us aware of the Perreira case where the ass$% went scottfree after killing 7 innocent poor souls. Poor is the operative word here. I think all of you would agree wid me.
Why is it that always the down and destitutes get distributed such tangled justice. Is it bcoz they dnt pay taxes. Well then consider it done tht we live in the jagirdari system where ppl who paid a token were considered primary citizens ; al others secondary.
All this and they say India- the nxt superpower --bullshit !!!!
You know what it's not all tht abt Perreira...he was juz gttn the services he paid fr ....services of being a primary citizen.....
We may argue abt America being a devil , acting like big brother poking their nose into othrs affairs but atleast it does take care of it's own ppl. Well there have beeninstances of Blacks being delegated but well even on tht frnt the Dalit and OBC scene here is discerning.
If Media is the fourth estate then Judiciary is considered the Second Estate...and it should behave like one. What is reqd of it is not dishing out justice on hard proofs...but to look at wht has happened and the give a ruling. People now only put faith in this institution and shud deliver for the PEOPLE.
I hope they set better examlpes in future...else they may meet a similar fate what Mushsharaf is facing accross the border rite now !!!

First Puff !!!
It was 3 PM .....I had just had my lunch well sort of........and was feeling really sleepy.......I know work is what is to be done at that time......but as u all know.....I never keep anything for the afternoons.......so went to 2nd floor in Bldg 14.....where the newspapers are kept.....wonder why we dont have one at the third floor.......anyways to my surprise there were 2 girls sitting there and reading of all papers...Economic Times..........that is when i thought "Times" have changed........dunno whether for the good or bad........
I settled my self and sifted thru the pprs.....the frst thng that caught my mind was a news article abt electricity cuts faced by Pune......and MSEB (for those who dont know....MSEB=Maharashtra State Electricity Board)....was a sitting duck ......turning a blind eye..........Wonder why we never had power cuts at Infy........i mean it wud be fun to be one with nature sometimes.......but then we have the damn UPS connections...24hr electricity supply ..nonstop.....so cant do much abt it.......
Open the next page and what do i see.....sharukh....smoking a cigar.....with what seemed brown fumes all over....surrounded by skimpily clad women.....wow.....just then from the corner of my eyes I saw the other girl peeping in the paper.......just then i thot enuf was enuf..........i wud tell the grl to not to look into the paper........i stood up like Alexander would have to fige against Porus....and one glance frm the girl and i fizzled out........i quickly turned my direction and headed off to my cubic.....
Rest of the day I spent thinking why but why wasnt i able to tell that gal anything......was i meek.....no im not as my frnds have told me.......i was physically intimidating too.......so what was i lacking.......just then my inner voice helped me out......i lacked the coolness quotient.......ok.......step 1 solved so whts step 2 now.....how do i become cool......its nt tht i wud sit in a refrigerator and become cool.....tht will only kill me.......Then suddenly out of nowhere i got an idea....the image of sharukh transpired b4 my lusting eyes.......finally i had the idea.......smoking wud make me cool......
.6 pm.......time to go home.....caught the baner road bus....with the usual souls......some smiles and off we went......the entire evening i was planning how will i make the kill......how will i approach the paanwaala...for a ciggy........wht if he told some1......wht if he tells my parents.......i was really apprehensive abt these gut smacking questions.......thus i had a plan........(planning is what i learnt the effectively in this industry....)My plan was to get downa stop before.......bye a ciggy........frm a shop owner who does know any1 remotely close to me.......walk home as soon as possible......as none of my roomies wud be home till tht time........all of those mortals work late.......none of em, are as efficient as me........
Evrything went as per the plan.....got down one stop b4.......bought the ciggy.......started trotting towards home......it was a cold evening........chill air blowin accross.......but i was in the world of my own.....i said to myself today wud be the day i wud become cool.......today i wud feel what half the adult world feels like after smokin a ciggy.......it was as if i wud lose my virginity today......altho there wuldnt be any1 else involved........just as i was about to enter my house......
i got a call......frm one of my roomies asking fr tiffin.......i was feeling like slamming the fone......but thot of the number of salaries i wud loose.....so i simply told me no.....thnks....and entered the house.........Ok......this was it........i was about to take the plunge.....with the ciggy in one hand.......and a match box in the other....went to my balcony.....i thot......the col air wud add to the ambience.........then i took the stick and placed it between my lips.....cudnt feel anything cuz my lips were hardened bcoz of the unusually cold breeze...... lighted the frst matchstick.....was just about to light the ciggy ...when a gush of wind blew it away........the second one didnt come off........had to curse the matchstick producer fr putting so less asbestos on it.......this time I didnt want to take any chance....so curled dwn so no wind cud reach me and the match stick.......lighted it and was about to light the ciggarete...when i heard a loud thumping sound.......the ciggrette fell down the balcomy inot the oblivion.....the matchstick was cruched becoz of my clenched fists.........
For a second i cudnt see anything...but hose seconds turned to a few minutes........i strted fearing......maybe god punished me.....hes made me blind so tht i cudnt see any ads...specially sharukh khan ones.........i gathered some courage and went out of the balcony....then i saw some rays of light as if it was some divine being.....who has come to take me to heaven.........but upon closer inspection it was the doctor.......who lives in front of my house.......he told me that the wind hasd snapped one of the elctrical lines at MSEB.......and thus the darkness........ thn got busy helping him get the lines restored......after that was done me and the doc went to his house who had a guest...he seemd to be shy...was wearing a mask i dunno why.....jus then the doc tld me the guy was his patient....he had cancer.....he used to smoke......and then he stopped.......
my heart started pounding at a tremendous pace.......jus a few seconds b4 i was about to take a plunge into darkness.......but no i hadnt taken the plunge.....i was saved by............MSEB.....and their old electrical lines........Period................

“Breaking News”
“Breaking News”
“Live & Exclusive”
“Just on XYZ News”
These are some of the appellations that ordinary news gets nowadays across India.
What is the first question that comes immediately to your mind when u see this?
Is it really “Breaking News”?
Does that piece of news even deserve to be national TV?
These are some questions that come in the mind of our “average” Indian viewer.But a far more intriguing question is what is the criterion used by these news channels.
What goes into the making of the so called “breaking news”?
First let us find what breaking news is exactly.
In the time before the time breaking news was a term used to signify events which were of monumental importance or were gargantuan in nature.
Like for example the landing of man on moon or a nuclear explosion or for that matter the death of a “head of state” (wonder why that is not happening now days. On second thoughts there are not many “heads of state” that remain and those who do are mere pawns in the hands of more tyrannical people.).
Also breaking news was used only in cases of news pieces which were rare in nature.Examples of this could be India winning the World Cup or winning ONE BRONZE MEDAL at Olympics.
So at this point and scope we can safely assume that breaking news has its roots in power, money, fame and also infamy.
But why has that changed now days.Why do we have breaking news on the drop of a hat?Sensex crosses 10K……breaking news….
A person has got divorced bcoz he is gay…..breaking news…..
Chappell shows middle finger to kolkata…….breaking news….
This is nothing….u even have braking news when a DIG of MP decides to become a transgender by putting on lipstick……..
I think the role of media should be to empower people with knowledge not feed them with chit chat…….and gossip……

Life'z a pArAdOx !!!!
Well u guys would be thinking another sick poist by an idiot who has no work.
But how du define a person who has no work.
Lemme quote the famous law of conservation "No energy can be produced . It an only be transferred neither created nor destroyed."
Apply it to work and voila you understand why some ppl work and some not.
"No work can be produced . It an only be transferred neither created nor destroyed."
So with limited amount of work available hw can we expect evry1 to work.
You know when we were young we were taught..that all 5 fingers are not the same...some are used for rings , some fr cute gestures and some god knows what !!!!
Same way all ppl are nt the same. Some take it as their mission to work hard some relax ( mere mortals like me) !!
But what we frget is the Law of conservation.
So lets stop makin the same mistake we've made our entire lives. Let's stop wrking. Cuz the more you work , more u take an opportunity away fr othrs to work !!!
So the next time u feel guilty @ watchn a muvi over wrk...dnt just thnk the good u do the millons who have no wrk...theyd bless u.
Many wud laff at this. But it has a deep inherent message if u can get it. And if u do, i thnk u need no more explanation.
Hail NEWTON fr the LAW !!!
