And Then She said ‘NO’

Not than I didn't know the answer. But when it lies between agony and hope, Hope wins the game. And so did my agony battling against hope lost another war for the day. It had become a plebian activity for me. Every morning Agony conspired against my deepest cogitations and by the time the day ended, hope just kicked agony’s ass. Was it agony vs hope, or was it Me vs Me. I wasn't so sure. Just as much as i wasn't sure why these HDFC folks were trying to nibble my brain for selling a credit card. Hell I already had one and my financial stature wont allow me to support an another one. I wished Google had taken care of a smiley for such a situation.

I knew what the facts stated but then the hope often tries manipulating the dimensions just for the matter of fact that may be altered dimensions may enunciate some differentiated versions of fact. Hopefully they try make trends seems more legato or should I say more regressional. Confused again. May be they adjudicate a morphed versions; an unlikely interpretation. Something that every human heart desires to listens. The whims and fancies never bequeath you, not even if you are turning thirty or either you try being naughty at forty. Fortunately I was still young.

The first and last situation that cemented my notion “Probably Love is not in my plate”. Did I really want it to be something on my plate. Was I so riveted for myself ?? To be exact things just happens at times without heeding too much about the consequences. It happened to me then. The chapter was over. The prose was complete, It was time for some resurrection, some introspection, some evaluation. But then i didn't write an exam, I wasn't competing either. I wasn't waiting to be rated how well did I perform. I just fell for one girl. I just simply took in the fact that she is the one. She never asked me, nor did i compel myself. Things just happens at times. One simple feeling with the such a compounded version of after effects.

Too much to ask, too much to answer. For me as well for her.

 

Letter To Mark

Hey Mark.

I know you are doing well. You are supposed to be doing well. With your Facebook riding high on everyone’s spirit, hell i don't see a reason why you shouldn't be doing well. But we aren't doing well. By “we” I refer to the internet community. Well even, if the 35 % of the movie social network is true i believe Facebook was about being a cool social network site. But in recent time there has been drastic shift in the facebook concepts paradigm. With the changes that you roll out like Google doodle every week, many others like me are apprehensive about it’s popularity curve.

The irritating pop ups which just bulges out when you click the picture just sucks half the e-blood of internet community. You don't realize the major problem with the pop ups. They open with a click but they need another click at the top left corner to shut the fuck up. That's why IE died and that's why any site with pop ups dies.

The second most important thing is several spamy cocky apps that just has nailed everyone's wall. If you earn even a single cent from half a click. you would have made a real amount of money. FYI these spams are way too irritating. It has started people thinking about temporarily de-activating their account. If you are happy with that, good going Mark. Tie up with some more vendors. But if you are keen to retain the traffic then you must work on the security aspect of facebook. Believe me, the rate at which these spams are growing will soon be a problem for you.

You made people lazy. You made kids stay home and play crazy taxi. You made college guys to spend all day on poker, friendbots. See what you did to the world and now you expect them to log off. Insane Man. You re-defined the meaning of socializing; you took someone’s entire life and put it onto digital placeholder.

Man, you need to seriously re think. You just cannot shun away.

Thanks,
A facebook User.

 

6 Important Life Lessons

Lesson 1: Naked Wife

        A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, “I’ll give you $800 to drop that towel.” After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob.After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 dollars and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks,…“Who was that?” “It was Bob the next door neighbor,” she replies. “Great!” the husband says, “Did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?”

Moral of the story: If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.

 

Lesson 2

A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie says, “I’ll give each of you just one wish” “Me first! Me first!” says the administration clerk. “I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.” Poof! She’s gone. “Me next! Me next!” says the sales rep. “I want to be in Hawaii,relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.” Poof! He’s gone. “OK, you’re up,” the Genie says to the manager. The manager says, “I want those two back in the office after lunch.” 

Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the first say.

Lesson 3

A priest offered a lift to a Nun. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun said,”Father, remember Psalm 129?” The priest removed his hand. But,changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, “Father, remember Psalm 129?” The priest apologized “Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.” Arriving at the convent, the nun went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, “Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.” 

Moral of the story: If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.

Lesson 4

A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A rabbit asked him,”Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?” The crow answered: “Sure, why not.” So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested. A fox jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very high up.

Lesson 5: Power of Charisma

A turkey was chatting with a bull “I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree,” sighed the turkey, but I haven’t got the energy.” “Well, why don’t you nibble on my droppings?” replied the bull. “They’re packed with nutrients.” The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon he was spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree.

Moral of the story: Bullshit might get you to the top, but it wont keep you there.

Lesson 6

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.

 

Moral of the story:

1. Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy

2. Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend

3. And when you’re in deep shit, it’s best to keep your mouth shut!

India Against Corruption

A look at the salient features of Jan Lokpal Bill:

The Jan Lokpal Bill (Citizen's ombudsman Bill) is a draft anti-corruption bill drawn up by prominent civil society activists seeking the appointment of a Jan Lokpal, an independent body  that would investigate corruption cases, complete the investigation within a year and envisages trial in the case getting over in the next one year.

Drafted by Justice Santosh Hegde (former Supreme Court Judge and present Lokayukta of Karnataka), Prashant Bhushan (Supreme Court Lawyer) and Arvind Kejriwal (RTI activist), the draft Bill envisages a system where a corrupt person found guilty would go to jail within two years of the complaint being made and his ill-gotten wealth being confiscated. It also seeks power to the Jan Lokpal to prosecute politicians and bureaucrats without government permission.

1. An institution called LOKPAL at the centre and LOKAYUKTA in each state will be set up

2. Like Supreme Court and Election Commission, they will be completely independent of the governments. No minister or bureaucrat will be able to influence their investigations.

3. Cases against corrupt people will not linger on for years anymore: Investigations in any case will have to be completed in one year. Trial should be completed in next one year so that the corrupt politician, officer or judge is sent to jail within two years.

4. The loss that a corrupt person caused to the government will be recovered at the time of conviction.

5. How will it help a common citizen: If any work of any citizen is not done in prescribed time in any government office, Lokpal will impose financial penalty on guilty officers, which will be given as compensation to the complainant.

6. So, you could approach Lokpal if your ration card or passport or voter card is not being made or if police is not registering your case or any other work is not being done in prescribed time. Lokpal will have to get it done in a month's time. You could also report any case of corruption to Lokpal like ration being siphoned off, poor quality roads been constructed or panchayat funds being siphoned off. Lokpal will have to complete its investigations in a year, trial will be over in next one year and the guilty will go to jail within two years.

7. But won't the government appoint corrupt and weak people as Lokpal members? That won't be possible because its members will be selected by judges, citizens and constitutional authorities and not by politicians, through a completely transparent and participatory process.

8. What if some officer in Lokpal becomes corrupt? The entire functioning of Lokpal/ Lokayukta will be completely transparent. Any complaint against any officer of Lokpal shall be investigated and the officer dismissed within two months.

9. What will happen to existing anti-corruption agencies? CVC, departmental vigilance and anti-corruption branch of CBI will be merged into Lokpal. Lokpal will have complete powers and machinery to independently investigate and prosecute any officer, judge or politician.

10. It will be the duty of the Lokpal to provide protection to those who are being victimized for raising their voice against corruption.
