G i ve it a thought......?? Hmm.....many answers..huh....Life, Emotions, Feelings.....in reality the kind of response to this question would prove the kind and expanse of thinking we all have. We live a contended life, we get breakfast, we take lunch, we take dinner and besides all this we also indulge ourselves in enjoying .."sabka thanda ek" et al....How..and Why..?? We live in a country where development is taking place at a very fast pace , we are challenging developed economies in various fields and we have enough disposable income to shell out for sth to eat besides regular diets.....result ....opening up of retail food outlets. like...McD, Pizza Hut, Yo China.....for coffee freaks >>...Barista, CCD etc...where they charge more than what they actually spend to prepare that stuff but v all pay happily.. i would never mind to shell out 100 bucks for Russian Frappe @ Barista and Vijay Malaya would never mind to shell out 500 bucks for a cup of coffee @ 7* Hotel, it d...

I t was seventh semester in my Engg college and placement fever was picking up. Many friends joined MBA coaching instis to brush up their aptitude and vocab skills. I didnot joined that rat race as i was more concerned for my suckin acads. I was through with my vocab stuff and was busy collecting past question papers of different companies which visited our campus for PPT and final placements. My Hit List was clear- either Tata Motors or TCS. Preparations were going on nicely, campus was abuzz with placement activities, guys were busy with sth be it final year project or placement prepzz or competitive exams. An air of determination and sincerity was apparent in all my college friends. After lots of jugad and magajmaari we managed to get some sample questions of past year Tata motors placement questions. Man...they were really difficult..we all thought ..if they gonna ask questions of this frequency we better change our hit list....but NO...we are not weak ass ..we all spoke in unisio...

British director Guy Ritchie frequently attributes the success of his unorthodox crime films -- 1998's Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, 2000's Snatch -- to the fact that his offbeat miscreants are more than believable, they are real. Preferring to cast for authenticity rather than resumé, Ritchie handpicks many of his actors from the true-life cult figures and rascals of London's underbelly. Actor Jason Statham is among the best of them. A one-time Olympic diver, fashion model, and black-market salesman, Statham came to acting by way of commercials and "street theater" -- a euphemism for hustling tourists on London's Oxford Street. Raised in Syndenham, London, he was the second son of a lounge singer and a dressmaker turned dancer. Although Statham had the familial background to go immediately into entertainment, he excelled first on the high dive. He was a member of the 1988 British Olympic Team in Seoul, Korea, and remained on the National Diving Squad...

E xtraordinary number of people spend extraordinary amount of time with extraordinary people for extraordinary pleasures when they go online. Internet attracts hell lot of people from all over the world huddled over their desktops n laptops busy-- chatting, emailing, finalizing business deals, dating and what not. Internet picked up pace in late 90s and its now spreading at light’s speed. There is hardly any part of the world which has not witnessed the magic of www. Software professions call it “Cyber space”. To me it conjures up a little bit different image. It’s a world which has got ample space to accommodate large number of feelings and emotions of all those who are solitary, unhappy and incomplacent with what they have or it’s a medium of communication which engenders many new relations. Relations built up on internet are at times better than offline counterparts. Unlike offline world, people start chatting online with an unknown person, here people shed all inhibitions whatsoev...

Friends, One of my friends- Mohit Madan (Sys Engineer-TCS) has written a wonderful comment and has analysed the issue precisely. A Must Read.... You all can send me your personal views, on my mail id and i ll post them here for all.... Happy Reading.... Ann Hello Anurag First i would like to acknowledge ur prowess and adroitness in handling such a issue.You have very adeptly managed both sides of the coin and have impartially given your views on the "Domestic Violence Act".. You have communicated your thoughts very effectively but with some major assumptions : 1. With just chalking/announcing the Legal Act/Law does not ensure that implementation and effectiveness will be bang on. So at the moment we cannot comment on the effectiveness of the same. 2. The conservative(rural and semi-urban) Indian households, who will majorly benefit from this law are unaware of the same as the media blitz is in the urban segment. So yet again not sure about the effectiveness of the Act. 3. Las...
