A lesson for Every Salaried Employee

I came across this forward on Management lesson, really fun. Its a must read:

"A lesson for Every Salaried Employee

A shopkeeper watching over his shop is really surprised when he sees a dog coming inside the shop, He shoos him away. But later, the dog is back inside again. So he goes over to the dog and notices that it has a note in its mouth. He takes the note and it reads “Can I have 12 soaps and a shampoo bottle, please. The money is with the dog.” The shopkeeper looks inside the dogs mouth and to his surprise there is a 100 rupees note in his mouth. So he takes the money and puts the soap, shampoo and change in a bag, and then places it in the dogs mouth.

The shopkeeper is so impressed, and since it is the closing time, he decides to follow the dog. The dog is walking down the street, when it comes to the zebra crossing, he waits till the signal turns green. He walks across the road till the bus stop. He waits on the stop and looks up the timetable for the bus. The shopkeeper is totally out of his mind as the dog gets into the bus and sits on a vacant seat.

The shopkeeper follow the dog. The dog waits for the conductor to come to his seat. He gives the change to the conductor and shows him the neck belt to keep the ticket. The shopkeeper is almost fainting at this sight and so are the other people in the bus.
The dog then moves to the front exit of the door and waits for the bus stop to arrive, looking outside. As soon as the stop is in sight he wags his tail to inform the driver to stop. Then not even waiting for the bus stop to arrive the dog jumps out and runs to the house nearby. It opens an big iron gate and rushes towards the door. As it approaches the door, he changes his mind and walks towards the garden. The dog walks up to the window and beats his head several times on the window. It then walks back to the door and waits. The shopkeeper maintaining his senses walks up to the door and watched a big guy open the door.

The guy starts beating, kicking and abusing the dog. The shopkeeper is surprised and runs to stop the guy. the shopkeeper questions the guy “What in the heaven are you doing? The dog is a genius he could be famous in life.” The guy responds “You call this clever? This is the 3rd time in this week that the dog has forgotten the door keys.”

The moral of the story: You may continue to exceed onlookers expectations… But will always fall short of the bosses expectation…"

India TV - I hate them.

This channel is obnoxiuos. Todays breaking news was Priyanka Gandhi ne sari unchi kyu pehni "Why does Priyanka Gandhi wear her sari so high?"

Wow and on that point they did some research, had discussions and eventually they interviewed Priyanka... she said she wears her grandmothers sarees.

I make a humble requet to the people who advertise on India TV and support it financially, please save us from this torture. Its crazy seeing those losers vomit crap in the name of "Breaking News".

Are Parsis really dwindling? No dodos small 7 year olds are being killed!!

Parsis are a small community... I can finally say I'm proud to be out of it. I always had issues with Parsis. I didn't like the culture. They ate like carnivorous animals, they drank like the worse drunkards on planet earth and they swore like no one has heard before... so I had more to hate the community than love it.

This whole feeling got reinforced when I came across the article of a 7 year old dying out of starvation. I never ever thought this could happen in parsi community because one thing that they have in bulk is money. Records say that each parsi can be given 1 crore and still few thousand crores will sit in the bank. See the irony, they are desperate to increase the Parsi population and how by starving their own kids. Ohh sorry their own half kids... All reports of this incident mentioned something like

"The death of a 7-year-old half-Parsi girl from hunger has rammed home the sharp reality of starvation at our door-step, and riven the Parsi community which her mother had been petitioning for help."

Can you beat it... have you ever heard a news report like this... "a half Christian kid blah blah blah..." Please!!! I mean are Parsis on war with the other communities or something?? Its like ohh you are half paki... So just because the mother was a non-parsi she was refused help. WHY?

In humans, I would tell Parsi Panchayat trustees one thing... as human beings you should have helped her if not from the fund then from your own pockets even if this family was not "Half Parsi." Think about it so so much money enough to buy every Indian enough food for 1 month but they couldn't spare a few hundreds to help this family. Its utterly utterly inhuman. DISGUSTING. These very same trustees spent lacs on feeding Parsis to gain their votes... these same guys made some promises and the community believed them and voted for them. They are no worse than Advani, Pawar, Modi, Lalluji, A. Singh, Thackreys.... (Did I mention Sanjay Dutt...)

All the best to the dwindling Parsi community to further dwindle.

Elections, why did you turn our perfectly normal Sanjay Dutt into some seat hungry beast????

Sanjay Dutt, son of Sunil Dutt and Brother of Priya Dutt, is a convict for illegal possession of an AK- 56 under the Arms Act and under TADA. However, he is not serving any sentence right now because supposedly he was the only financial support of his daughter and because some crores of rupees were invested in him by prducers... what a lame reason to let a convict evade serving sentence; besides he was also acquitted under TADA...

Now this dude wants to contest ellections ... Supreme Court refused him a ticket and he is outraged. My thinking is GOD, give this guy some common sense.... His point of argument is if some criminals in UP and Bihar can be allowed to contest ellections and are allowed to be the sitting MP's, then why not me? Its like saying since in Bihar law and order is a piece of shit lets apply the same rule in the whole of India. Technically speaking Sanju baba you may have a point but just that you ain't lucky enough this time around. And logically speaking just because some wrong is happening in some part of India does not mean that our country of fools are that big fools.

However, Mulayam Singh has now made Sanju baba the party's National Secretary. Dude come on its like you wanted cake, Big Momma didn't allow you that so now you are settling for a toffee. Show some self respect dude.

U.P. and Bihar are the known shit holes of India, where criminals not only go without a conviction and roam freely, they are matter of factly in high ranking positions in Politics. So we understand your frustrations Sanju... you must be thinking if they can why can't I... but as I said before you ain't that lucky this time around. But a humble suggestion... don't give up dude in a fools paradise you may some day get lucky.

BEST OF LUCK LOSER!!!!

Wedding Hues and Blues

2 months after 17th Jan 09..... Finally today is the first time that I am home alone and have my hubbies laptop... So I am making the best of this opportunity...

Wedding planning was overwhelming, when it was on I used to think when would all this get over and when would I finally be with Zaheer. Then came the honeymoon planning and preparation. Now that it is over and so is our honeymoon... things have changed so drastically. Everyday is like a learning experience... everyday I discover a new feeling for Zaheer (most often positive); I discover how much time I have now since I chose to be a housewife, I discover what all I could'nt do since I was workling and I also discover what all I can't do now since I am married... So basically without getting flamoxed by the immense changes in my life I am currently enjoying every single moment of being a newly wed.

Fortunately these days everyone treats me right and I don't feel ignored or left out. Zaheer obviously takes fab care of me, my mum dad miss me and love me more now, his mom and family too go out of their way for me and the whole package is soo gratifying... Trust me this is as good as the pre-wedding time.

Since mine is an intercaste marriage I have no time to get bored, I am always learning and hearing something at times about Muslim religion, sometimes about some distant family members, at times about Zaheer's childhood, etc. So alls well in Ayesha-paradise as of now.

I am prolly gonna turn my blog into my diary... can't call it a personal diary... as I am gonna let everyone read it :)

Remember my post "Mumbai An Easy Target," it was about High Street Phoenix Mall in Lower Parel and how their security system was totally flawed. Since I had a video to prove my stance, I emailed it to Phoenix authorities, some news channels, posted it on Youtube. Recently I revisited the mall, this time with a DigiCam to record their security flaws even better, but to my surprise, these people had improvised tremendously. I for a change felt really secured.

They had these young boys dressed in Black, who looked stronger than their previous counterparts. These guys were also sensibly equipped with detectors and walky talkies. They seemed serious about their job. They checked every bit of the car, they opened all the doors, checked below the seats, checked the glove compartment, checked the boot and the bonnet. Wow I was amazed. They even had 4-5 security personnel posted at every entrance of the mall with hand held detectors and bag checks.

I was just Wowed.. Miracles do happen in our city. We should probably thank those terrorists because without them this would be almost impossible in our city.

LPO Is The Least Preferred Among Law Students

All my LPO buddies read this:

A career with an Indian Legal Process Outsourcing is the least preferred among law students.

New Delhi, Dec.13 (ANI): A career with an Indian Legal Process Outsourcing (LPO) establishment is the least preferred among law students, according to a survey.

In its survey, ValueNotes Database, a leading provider of business intelligence and research, says that 45 percent of respondents felt that the pay package at an LPO was better as compared to the pay package at law firms, but they still did not consider it as a preferred career choice.

Multinationals, international law firms and Indian law firms tap the same talent pool of graduating law students. While multinationals are expanding their operations in India, the Indian companies are expanding their global footprint. Thus the requirements of both these groups for legal advice on financing, mergers and acquisitions, immigration, etc is expected to increase. In addition to this, international law firms are also interested in setting up shop in India and are pinning their hopes on the Bar Council to liberalize the Indian legal services market.

With the increasing demand for legal services from different sectors in the legal industry, there is bound to be a fight for talent, the survey says.

Though there are about 80,000 law graduates each year, the number that is employable is quite low.

According to the survey, LPOs will face an even greater problem in the fight for talent as they harbor a negative perception among law students.

The common feeling among students is that work at an LPO is repetitive and highly process driven. One of the primary challenges for service providers currently is to change this perception of students.

In light of this, the report recommends greater participation of service providers in spreading awareness about the offshore legal services outsourcing not only among students, but also faculty members in law schools. In the long term, greater partnerships/tie-ups between industry and universities will improve both the quality and quantity of the labor pool and change the perception that students have towards the LPO industry.

Some More Ideas on Mumbai Attacks....

1. Do not worry about those who have come thru boats... Our forces can easily defeat them.
WORRY about those who have come thru votes.... Those are our REAL ENEMIES….

2. What a shame and disgrace to every citizen of India that the elite NSG Force was transported into ordinary BEST buses, whereas our cricketers are transported into state of the art luxury buses, these Jawans lay down their lives to protect every Indian and these cricketers get paid even if they lose a match, we worship these cricketers and forget the martyrdom of these brave Jawans. The Jawans should be paid the salaries of the cricketers and the cricketers should be paid the salaries of the Jawans.

3. An ace shooter shoots and gets gold medal, government gives 1crore, another shooter dies while shooting terrorist, government gives 5 lakh.

WHO DESERVES MORE? Huh.. This is our India....
