Are all humans assholes by default???

Even before answering that question, here goes a disclaimer.

This post is not for the weak minded!!! So, please don't come back to me and crib about how you hate yourself after reading this :P

I might sound like a moron myself, but still, here are my 2 cents on this.

First things first, anonymity shows the real characterisitics of a person. So, incase you are in a chat room logged with NOT your original name and particulars, then you wouldn't care a damn about anyone will you? Now, you might try to convince yourself saying, "I am just having a bit of fun myself!". But, thats entirely untrue, if you were trying to have fun and pull someone's leg, then why in some cloak, why not in the open.

To add weight to my point, I quote an instances of me being bad :P. Yeah, right, I too am a part of this human race :) Getting back to where I left it eh!

Incident #: *This is slightly modified in order not to give away the actual incident and my job ;)

I was happily riding to my friend's treat and am slicing my way through traffic. Agreed that I am a fast driver, that doesnt mean I am rash. And that too I dont want to get killed, forget injured just becoz the other guy in the car was talking (on his phone what else?) to his darling about the diamond ring that he is going to present her OR better messaging her "I love you!!" all the while looking into his brand new mobile phone and forgetting that he is amidst heavy traffic (welcome to bangalore).

So, cutting the crap out, this guy almost killed me and the pillion. It was my 6th sense which must have guided me not to overtake and instinctively braked for no reason. And the very next moment he swooshes his car in a zig zag pattern and speads ahead. At this point of time, I had my heart in my mouth and I could taste BLOOD in my mouth. So, what I do?

As any normal human, I abused him so aloud (he can't hear it though) that the oncoming traffic on the other lane responds to it. Luckily, the guy in the car didn't hear and later (in the next signal) I realised that he was from my company ;) So, there goes one!

Incase you have been thinking about how mean people are in a chat room or even in a hotel, where you don't know him/her, this is my answer to it. Anonymity brings out the person's real character. No kidding dude!

Holy Cowww!

Here is a story about a calf that gobbles up chicken for a late night snack. Vets call it a case of vitamin or mineral deficiency, but people have other stories. One of the best as outlined by the story is, people of that village think that this calf was a tiger in his/her last birth :D

Blog Through Mail!

I read about this new and innvoative technique to mail across your blabber or chatter to your some account and it would be posted to your blog.

If thats the case, then great! This is a test message! Testing 1,2,3........

Do you hear me soldier?? Sar, yass, sarrr!!

Aye, Aye Captain!

Only if this could happen in India!!!

Even before I start blabbering off, I'ld like to quote this from here.

"A lot of people give notice before they quit a job not out of respect for their employer, but because they fear their employer will give them a bad reference. Most of the time, this is a baseless fear. Large companies fear slander lawsuits too much and will refrain from saying anything bad about a past employee…no matter how much they hated him. Most places even make a policy out of confirming dates of employment and saying nothing else when asked for a reference. This is so common practice now that your new employer won’t even bother to ask your old employer what he thought of you because he knows damned well he’ll hit a brick wall."

I wonder if this could be true in modern India (Shining, if forgot this too). Now, I completely agree with the article in terms of respect. But, when an employee has a vision for his life/career (most people don't) and he/she wants to achieve some
pre-set goals, you again have to Respect with 'R' him/her.

I thought, I'ld never ever recollect the turn of events at my last company, but got some motivation out of this blog (should say). Now, when I last put down my papers, I was rookie (my first job) and I didn't know how to tackle the HR issues.

But, luckily for me, there were people to guide. Then again, the sadest part of taking advise from more than one guy is that the difference of opinion. One of
them could have a personal rivalry with your boss and he wants to settle it with him through you OR he just can't think of all the worst case scenarios. And believe when you are quitting, its the worst case scenario that you think of which will kick in with full force.

Now, I did the right thing in timing my resignation that I did it on a Friday, so that I wouldn't lose out on two days. And the first thing on Monday morning was to catch my boss before he reaches his desk and give him the News (you dont want to be a lame ass, do you?). Then, we have a chat over coffee that you cant match my pay and also the role (Vision remember?).

He digs at whatever he can and then passes it up the hierarchy. This is where the drama kicks off, my big boss (boss's boss), decides that he wouldnt let me go. And my adviser asks me to take it on (all this while he doesn't who my big boss is!) and press for an early release. After all I need the relieving letter and also a good reference (don't I?).

Half way through the fight, I take a step back and let my Advisor know the entire scenario. He immediately goes on the defensive and curses both me and the big boss (referred to as "B" going forward). As me and B start exchanging punches, I grow more focussed on delivering what is asked for and more, again the sheepish excuse that a convict with a good conduct will be let go quickly.

I keep rejecting all the counter offers and proposals only to find myself almost choked with work. I don't have anything against my boss....it's 'B' I am angry with. As I keep fighting like Rocky, there comes a welcome break. The client has suddenly decided to do away with the project and if I can deliver a shit load of work in 2 weeks time, I would be let go. I thank the heavens for my fortune and
jump onto the job right away. I even party with my friends that afternoon at Lunch, seeing that my boss is planning to relieve 2 days before my joining date at the new company.

Lightening strikes at the most deserted of places (my saying, to hell with wise men saying everything). Almost immediately after lunch, I come back sit at my workstation receive a few missed congratulations only to be charred to death (by that lightening what else?). Within seconds of receiving the mail from my boss, 'B' intervenes and annuls the relieving with the lamest possible excuse that they still need me and I am a critical resource. Oh hell ya, I am critical coz they want to screw up my ass big time. I curse the heavens and you know what, go back to work!

Goddammit, did somebody call me names and abuse me, please do, I am workaholic and psychopath, I like being abused!!!

After this it was pretty much lame, I talk with my future boss and take time at the same time trying to get out of the current company. After weeks of hard work, 'B' finally agrees to let me go 10 days in advance. Can you believe that, heavens are showering me with their blessings, oh this is Nirvana (I know, this sounds hysterical!!!). So, finally everything falls in place and I join my new company. Its almost been one year out of that place and I can vividly recollect every scene of this picture.

This is gross Human rights violation. You are basically threatening an employee to screw his career just because he resigned. Actually, 'B' is a psychopath who regards every employee who resigns as his enemy and takes out a personal vendetta against him/her.


"In the EnDdddddd!", its still a happy ending because good people (convicts) get to take time off!

Ramanujan's number theory puzzle Solved!

Mathematicians unlock major number theory puzzle from PhysOrg.com


Mathematicians have finally laid to rest the legendary mystery surrounding an elusive group of numerical expressions known as the "mock theta functions." Number theorists have struggled to understand the functions ever since the great Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan first alluded to them in a letter written on his deathbed, in 1920. [...]

Fear knows no bounds! (Boooo Hoooooo!)

This is a true 'spirited' story!


Disclaimer: I flicked it off a forward, but its still a nice read!


This is a true story of a young college girl who passed away last month. Her name was Priya. She was hit by a lorry. She has a boy friend named Shankar. Both of them are true lovers. They always hang on the phone. You can never see her without her handphone. In fact she also changed her phone from Airtel to Hutch, so both of them can be on the same network, and save on the cost.

She spends half of the day talking with shankar. Priya's family knows about their relationship. Shankar is very close with Priya's family. (just imagine their love) . Before she passed away she always told her friends "If I pass away please burn me with my handphone" she also said the same thing to her parents.

After her death, people cant carry her coffin, I was there. A lot of them tried to do so but still cant , everybody including me, had tried to carry the coffin, the result is still the same. Eventually, they called their neighbour, a "bomoh" from Thailand (pak Darin), who is a friend of her father. He took a stick and started speaking to himself slowly.

After a few minutes, he said "this girl misses something here". then her friends told Darin about her intentions to burn her with her phone. He then opened the coffin and place her phone and SIM card inside the casket. after that they tried to carry the coffin. It could be moved and they carried it into the van easily. All of us were shocked. (can u feel the fear. I'm shaking at this moment)

Priya's parents did not inform Shankar that Priya had passed away. After 2 weeks Shankar called Priya's mom. Shankar :...."I'm coming home today. Cook something nice for me. Dont tell Priya that I'm coming home today, i wanna surprise her." Her mother replied....."You come home first, i wanna tell you something very important."

After he came, they told him the truth about Priya. Shankar thinks that they were fooling him. He was laughing and said "dont try to fool me - tell Priya to come out, i have a gift for her Please stop this nonsense". then they show him the original death certificate to him. They gave him proof to make him believe. (Shankar started to sweat) ..

He said... "Its not true. we spoke yesterday. She still calls me. Shankar was shaking.

Suddenly, Shankar's phone rang. "see this is from Priya, see this..." he showed the phone to priya's family. all of them told him to answer.he talked using the loudspeaker mode. all of them heard his conversation.

Loud and clear, no cross lines, no humming. It is the actual voice of Priya there is no way others could use her SIM card since it is nailed inside the coffin they were so shocked and asked for pak Darin's help again. pak Darin brought his master (tok Chen) to solve this matter. He Darin worked for 5 hours and found out.............





Wherever you go, our network follows!!!! (Heaven or Hell)



HUTCH has the best coverage :P

Aussies and their Ego!

"I watched Roger Federer [at the Australian Open] the other day and thought, 'What a true champion'," Vincent said on Newstalk ZB."He's the sort of guy you want to watch because he plays the game well and he's humble about it." This actually sums up everything about arrogance on the field and sledging that I've been wanting to say over years.


I think many a times aussies get away with sledging the opponents by covering up the same way hayden did. He says: 'We could be playing kick a cockroach from here to the wall and we'd want to be competitive.' Now, there is a lot of difference between being competitive and then going over the line and sledging and abusing people.


For once, I think technology would help curb this menace at least for the time being. We should have better stump mikes which would be able to hear anything that reaches the batsman's ear. I still dont understand the difference between a racial slur and sledging (care to explain!).


When you call someone a 'pig' (remember Big Brother and Shilpa Shetty), its how the other person perceives that matters not your inner meaning. So, if Gibbs could be banned for racial slur, so should aussies too. And for these players to be convicted we should have evidence on the table.


Bottom Line: Get a big stump mike (mic) with whatever booster you need and record everything. Let a separate panel analyze these tapes after every game. I am sure Ricky Ponting would be the first one to be banned! :) "Talk about red-blooded competition then Mr. Hayden!"
