http://blogs.fullhyderabad.com/showblog.php?blogId=333 Guess the time has come Mandira Bedi making news as she fills her wardrobe with sassy clothes from tubes to corsets, and cricket inspired Satya Paul Saris. She declares herself to be the eye candy in cricket...I pity India's fate. Ever notice how in advertisements, the happy families are those with sons. Ads which show parents being happy at the birth of a son or saving for their son's education send out wrong message and reinforce son preference in society. Foeticide and neglect of the girl child are a result of this. With the introduction of Women's abuse bill there were 1000 complaints of domestic violence on women in delhi, 1 FIR was lodged...where are we heading? The Indian Cricket team concentrating on endorsing brands and minting money rather than on the CUP...where is the focus? Flirting at workplace gives and insures big assignments and promotions...where are the work ethics? Signing off http://blogs.fullhyderabad.com/showblog.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=2775&blogId=333 Mon, 26 Feb 2007 00:32:07 +0000 Various thoughts passing through my mind right now kinda made me realise how things stand as of today... People in search of their relatives who went missing since the samjhauta blasts, the big question they faced was who will they take home? The bodies charred beyond recognition...where is the security to human life? With the budjet the middle class employee who always dreamt of buying a house and car would have to keep dreaming about it for his whole life...taking a loan of 20 lakhs and paying an EMI of 11,000...what will the person eat? A land which is creaking under credit cards, where $2.4 trillion in amount consumers in the US owe, nearly one fifth the size of the total economy is still the land of big dreams for our people and they are willing to spend whatever they have earned to earn a visa for themselves....Is it so necessary to go to that land, i guess money is the factor. Times when sincerity, hard work, dedication and commitment sound like abuses and hypocricy, buttering and comprimising on your ethics takes u places in your work..where is the professionalism? When hardcore criminals get a death sentence after years of trial but again have the right to apply for a mercy petition and prolonge their life. Why the delay? The rates of onions touching an all time high, what alternative is the common man inventing as a substitute for onions? You know the HR of a big corporate, even tho ur profile and skills dont suit the job requirement, you are hired..genuine people are given some silly reason as currently there is no requirement, we will contact you when ever there is a need. Aishwarya Rai and the Bacchan family visit a temple, it makes headlines. All the news channels broadcast it as its a national event.Give me a break....why such inconsequential stuff. Lot more to write but am feeling sleepy right now.. http://blogs.fullhyderabad.com/showblog.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=2770&blogId=333 Thu, 22 Feb 2007 23:20:25 +0000 It was an eye opener of sorts for me recently, when i resumed posting on my thread in one of the forums started by members who were banned from fullhyd.I had returned after a break of almost a year and was happy posting my stuff on my thread. One fine day i wake up to find comments like " all her posts are nothing but spam" a newcomer on the boards voicing his opinion was okay with me, but one pantulu bugger who had been an old member of fullhyd, where all of us posted in full glory for 2 yrs, suddenly finds my posts to be spam. He abused me indirectly,thinking that i would break from within. With the support of two wonderful friends i did not even spare a minute thinking about that shit I responded to that bugger's post and voiced my opinion and he retaliated back and 'hypocrites being hypocrites' supported him with manipulative and diplomatic answers. Then my very good friend from Dallas who happened to find out about this nonsense, went and blasted them, word to word, abuse for abuse. Pantulu ke chutti ho gayi and woh tik nahi paya. Other senior members tried to let my friend down by suspecting his identity and they thought and racked their brains on who could it be..but no luck.. Set ideas, narrow thinking, cramped thoughts, limited focus of some of the members amazed me. Pantulu advised i need more creativity to come up with something more original and not post my copy paste pics and feel good stuff. He would continue posting his usual intellectual stuff like" i am farting" " i am having pappu" " i am shitting" Give me a break!!!!! I have better things to do. Want to see groupism,, the big boss house is 1000 times better guys,,these forums are an example of groupism, jee huzuri, getting together and organising meets and having liquor in front of small kids...They are role models for the future generation. Pantulu, maybe you can enlighten them on how they can be more creative and articulate. You are their guide and mentor, unless they kick you out. I know you guys would be wondering what is all this that is being written,,atleast some people would truly relate to me that even if you want to go on doing your own thing, people would not let you do what you like. Thanks to two wonderful friends i got out of that mess soon and am happy. Let that forum grow four folds with such characters who dont value others and their feelings. All the best to them. Arre bhai jeeno do logon ko!!!!!! http://blogs.fullhyderabad.com/showblog.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=2733&blogId=333 Fri, 19 Jan 2007 00:12:04 +0000 Its been ages since i wrote on my blog...people think i have a sad story to tell everytime i get down to writing something...well its a way to let it out of my system. I am totally disgusted with the way people play politics and corner genuine people in big corporates. The brand name, position, pay package all sound too good to be true..but the basic nature of the people has not changed...there is no element of professionalism seen anywhere. I dont like you so you are my next target for a forced exit...is this funda so simple..a career is at the end of the firing line..a career which an individual has taken years to build. Earning a good name, fame, accolades for the good work, appreciations..all go down the drain if your boss thinks you are not bootlicking...how disgusting can  ones attitude be....they watch out for an appropriate time and then corner you for even a baseless issue as simple as why did u not CC me on the mail which you sent out... These buggers need to learn professionalism, work ethics, values and basic empathy and work knowledge otherwise you are screwed day in and day out for no fault of yours becoz you are too straightforward, popular, approachable and the best mgr around.... These corporate buggers need to get a hold of their professional duties and not target or corner innocent individuals just becoz they did not do chamchagiri but instead voiced their opinions... I dont know how many of you would identify with me but this is what i have been experiencing lately and its utterly disgusting as no value or footage is given to hard work and dedication. I was deeply hurt but thanx to a good support system of good friends, family and dear ones i am able to cope up with this pressure....otherwise such buggers would make even the brightest of individuals lose their self confidence...I will anyways not change and will always stick to my values... http://blogs.fullhyderabad.com/showblog.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=2714&blogId=333 Mon, 11 Dec 2006 21:46:06 +0000 Felt like writing after a long while..have a lot of thoughts running in my mind ..i know nothing is going to happen even if i am going to think about it for my entire life.. you guys must be wondering if ever i have a happy story to tell you..as someone dear to me said i am a sad story,,maybe its true. I am at work and i am made to do stuff which my consious does not permit me to do. A situation came up when a person resigned due to mgt problems and i was made to mediate to do the retention part when i was not at all concerned to the issue. They screwed it up and made me the scapegoat as they were shitting in their pants becoz of the fear that skeletons might tumble.I somehow handled the situation and convinced that person not to take any action where in my subconsious i know that i am wrong in doing so becoz that person was treated bad by the mgt. I switch on the TV and see images of a bldg being burnt down and we dont have any equipment to combat. Our cranes cant even reach out to the 1st floor where the hell is all the money going. How are permissions given by the MCH if a blg is not equipped to combat fire or any such situation. I know nothing is going to change..it would be forgotten soon and life would move on. These bloody politicians give statements like u guys move ahead we will be behind you and the mass is so damn ignorant to listen to those fools. We are heading no where. The system sucks and we are all caught in it. We will all rot together. Hmmmmmmmm i guess i have so many things running in my mind but not able to express them. One wants to do something also is so damn helpless not to do what he/she feels right about. I have to listen to my mind rather than my heart most of the times and thats what scares me .........i dont know what i am writing and if i am making any sense in the first place..but this is my space http://blogs.fullhyderabad.com/showblog.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=2287&blogId=333 Sun, 12 Feb 2006 21:12:26 +0000 I know that people are artificial when it comes to expressions, feelings, jestures wagera..but one thing that has come to light recently and which i have observed is that people do things just to get praise and recognition and not out of desire to do something..you may think there she goes again...its understood if someone does something to get a promotion or for personal development but for such a selfless pure act of kindness also do we need to be artificial? Its a fact guys..people in big positions just do charity for the heck of it. They go to the orphanage and just dump the stuff for distribution and dont even distribute it themselves nor hold the childs hand or pat them on their shoulders. yaar when u cant feel for something no point in doing it. They would be sitting at a distance and would just make sure that the stuff is distributed..but was just thinking be it without any feelings still they are buying stuff for the kids...be it whatever. Duniya he aise hai, kya kar sakte hain bolo.................................................................... Are you doing the right thing is the question we should ask ourself rather than pondering about how people are. But this was my observation in the recent weeks. I am going to spend some time with the kids today Sorry to bore you folks again and again...becoz i felt that what was the point in doing something where ur soul is not involved especially for someone who does not have anyone smiling back at him or patting him on his back or holding his hand. They do not require the stuff yaar what they want is our smile and they want us to be their gaurdian angel........ http://blogs.fullhyderabad.com/showblog.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=2202&blogId=333 Sun, 25 Dec 2005 12:45:50 +0000 There is always darkness in the heart and not always what we wish for can we get. Sometimes it prevents us from living as we wish. We can't imagine other people's pain It's hard for us to share it but today i thought the pain i was experiencing due to ill health was very less compared to what someone very dear to me was undergoing. Life is what we make out of it. It is because of such nice people in the world it adds to the meaning of living your life. Just becoz some tell you that they have changed their feelings with the passage of time its not the end of the world..instead we should take it as a learning point. The world has nice people its just that we need to meet them. End of the day what matters is we have people with us who care for us and make us happy. Empathy still rules i guess..being there for a person makes so much of difference. Ok i know you guys would think okay again she is going on and on..i will sign off but all of you just "KEEP THE FAITH" the world is indeed beautiful... Cheers http://blogs.fullhyderabad.com/showblog.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=2191&blogId=333 Sat, 17 Dec 2005 15:45:42 +0000 Every human has worth!!!! everyone on this earth is born to contribute in his/her own way. I hear a lot about the term underperformer when i am at work..that really puts me off. Contribution of each individual is important. I was just thinking and remembered this story "An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which she carried across her neck. One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water. At the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do. After two years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream. "I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house." The old woman smiled, "Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side? That's because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you water them. "For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house." Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding. You've just got to take each person for what they are and look for the good in them". So this story is for all my crackpot buddies who feel low and down..come on cheer up. Everyone has the potential but depends on various parameters to emerge on top. So never never feel let down,,you never know how important you might be. http://blogs.fullhyderabad.com/showblog.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=2182&blogId=333 Sun, 11 Dec 2005 14:06:35 +0000 The day started with me being woken up by someone who is very dear to me..otherwise would have continued sleeping I was excited as i was going to meet the kids today..picked up the stuff for them along with the goodies and reached the place.. Thought for a while where are the funds going..dusty environment, no drinking water,no proper hygiene, no footwear..kids just playing on the ground barefooted. They all gathered near the car thinking who had come..i went in an auto with the stuff loaded in the car.. I was taken into a big room where the kids would come to have their meals for the afternoon..i went inside..off loaded the stuff and waited for them. At around 12:45 some 50 kids came jumping around and looking at the packets..one questioned as to what i had bought for them. Their incharge made them sit down in a row..started the distribution..many of them did a namaste to me..i folded my hands and blessed them. I asked one kid to distribute the goodies to everyone..some were like should we take the stuff for our friends..i did not know the exact count so would have to buy stuff for some children who had gone to attend college. Everyone were holding their towel, pillow etc and wanting to rip apart the packet as to what else could there be.. Hmmmm i did not feel like coming back..promised them i would make a visit soon..one small kid held my little finger and asked me when was i coming next.. Before i get senti again i want to thank a few people who have been with me throughtout this experience and even if they have been far far away have been so close to enjoy the moment with me. As 'Mass' said there has to be a beginning and someone would take it from there.. A smile on the kids key faces made my day boss.. http://blogs.fullhyderabad.com/showblog.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=2175&blogId=333 Tue, 06 Dec 2005 00:29:16 +0000 I have got back to my daily routine again. I had a promise to keep to the kids and here i am..yesterday morning went and bought some stuff for the orphanage and the school. I am doing this little thingy for them tomm..want to see a smile on their faces. But was thinking ke is this like going to solve their problems to any extent whatsoever. Dont know what to do to make their existence happy and worthwhile. Folks dont think i have gone bonkers and thinking too much and i need to get a hold on myself. I am happy but meri wat lagi hue hai.. Will tell u all what happens tomm..till then cheers http://blogs.fullhyderabad.com/showblog.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=2173&blogId=333 Mon, 05 Dec 2005 00:17:05 +0000
