Here I go again

Well here I go again,
been silent for long,
it has been goin' on and on,
someone needs to stand up
and fight the pain.
well here I go again.

Yeah, here I go again,
standing in the pouring rain,
why is it so dark here,
where is the sun gone,
why i am feeling so alone,
its coming down so hard,
rain drops feel like metal shards,
who has mixed the blood in water,
where has the peace gone?

2007 all set to usher in

Hopefully the new year will see more of 'green'.

Have a fun filled 2007 !!

Wilderness

I live my life alone

among the wilderness

until the day i turn to stone

Life is but a dream

An Ode to Himesh

Keeping in mind the contributions of our own 'Himesh Bhaiya' to the hindi music scene in recent past, we decided to contribute precious few minutes of our life and bandwidth to him. The outcome of this was this video shot with trembling hands and respectful hearts.



Lets say a lil' prayer for the man himself and wish him all the luck for his new movie 'Aap Ka Suroor', the eternal love story of his life. And keep your fingers crossed, he is gonna reveal his hat(e) secret in the movie.

Guys who were taken off from plane at Malaga

Here is an interview with the guys who were taken off a plane at Malaga.

Hmm do they really look dodgy, I think I have to shave everytime when i am about to board a plane, I dont look too different except for long hairdo.

In Thing

Looks like head-butting is the latest fad.

Satyam Story: The reasons

When the indian IT industry started booming somewhere in late 90's, there were four major players grabbing all the headlines. And they were TCS, Wipro, Infosys and Satyam. While the other three continued their ascent, Satyam lost its way somewhere and got booted out of the top bracket. After a long soul search Satyam management have finally found the reasons for this, ah wait not reasons actually their is a 'single' reason for that and that is the 'unprofessional' behaviour of the female empoyees.

According to the HR chief of Satyam, once women reach the age of 30-35 they become complacent and dont want to forge ahead. This shows the lack of dedication to the company, when all employees are expected to work for 14 hrs a day, these women folk leaving early for home create an unhealthy atmosphere in the company. What if all the males also start showing interest in their family life?? Just imagine the impact on the industry which is totally based on the concept of labor cost arbitrage.

Another interesting point found in this study is that single women especially the divorced ones have been responsible for slow growth of satym. Mr. Murthy thinks that single or divorced women is an concept alien to Indian culture and having these women in more visible position, affects the values and culture of Indian companies. As seeing these symbols of western civilization in power might encourage others to embrace it and start demanding blasphemous things like 40 hour weeks, yearly vacations, overtime etc. That will be the end of road for us.
