The return to innocence........

It takes ages to create something out of nothing. The sweat of every man involved in that creation............years of effort....years of pain........years of reversals........but man is confident and has determination to reach his goal........ultimately he wins.

Voila!!!! what a beautiful sight must be for those whose hard work finally paid off.

It takes a few fleeting moments to destroy man's very own creation........by himself...........what an irony!!!!.

Its in our nature to destroy ourselves..............

And yet we forget about HIM.........He who gives us all.......the power to think...........to create.........

I probably dont know why I am writing this ...............probably you wouldnt even understand what I meant to convey.

What prompted me to write was this picture taken from columbia space shuttle in its last mission.

The photograph attached was taken by the crew on board the Columbia during its last mission, on a cloudless day.

The picture is of Europe and Africa when the sun is setting. Half of the picture is in night. The bright dots you see are the cities lights. The top part of Africa is the Sahara Desert.

Note that the lights are already on in Holland, Paris, and Barcelona, and that's it's still daylight in Edinburgh, London, Lisbon, and Madrid. The sun is still shining on the Strait of Gibraltar. The Mediterranean Sea is already in darkness.

Show me the M O N E Y..........

Its time. Yup my friends.......it is that time of the year when the employers start searching for their prospective employees (read bonded labourers) .

Slowly........... it would become a mad rush. Trust me man............. a month or so........only one question will be hanging in the air..............Which company is coming.............. or for that matter..........did u get in somewhere???

Welcome.......welcome to the M B A Placement season. Here no one is your friend. Steal, Kill do anything but get a job somehow.

As my classmates say "who cares about others when your life is all hay and sunshine"

A vision of Spring...........

Just had some thoughts coming in my mind. What better way than to jotting (rather typing) down in the blog.

Some sketches of them.

The pyramids of Egypt – Pharaoh’s Glory Gold………. Diamonds rubies dazzling wealth……….. monuments of magnificence……..today stands stark forlorn, forgotten, against the arid particles of the desert ………….the Sahara

The grandeur of the Maya people ………. The genius of their astronomy and mathematic ………………skeleton of an empire……………the bare bone of a city……….. swamped in the Amazon jungles of South America.

The crumbling columns of the Colosseum…………..the empty galleries of theatre & forum where once music, dance, logic and politics flourished.
Alas! the Greek tragedy.

The might of the Caesar………the brilliant oratory of the senators……….the built – up gospel “ALL ROADS LEAD TO ROME” …………..that great Roman empire today………..shadows ……..shamble……….the ruins.

This is the consistency confounding story of Man everywhere. We are a peculiar creature ………..the innocence and gentleness of a child………..the perservity and fiendishness of Mephisto…………….the beauty and love of an angel…………..All three coexist……..

What a marvel of the creation???

Who created the earth……….the sun…………….the moon……….stars. How did our space and time come into being?

What was before????

What will be AFTER ????

Yipppeeee!!!!

I feel great. My grades came out for the summer project. I got an A........ yes an A....... that means out of a GPA of 10 i got 10. I feel like flying to somewhere...... This is one of the happiest day of my life.

But I know......... there is still two terms to go and I have to work really hard to keep my grades up.

I am thinking on creating a site which will deal with issues related to Finance. Actually my site layout is ready. Time permitting I will start with this one too. The reason for this second site is that I dont wanna put financial stuff in my personal site which basically deals with SPIRITULAITY.

See the layout.......... does it look good........please tell me.

Rachael !!!!!!!

GOD

She looks just amazing............

beautiful....................

soooooooooo cute............

Today I was watching the movie American Crime and the only thing I remember about the movie is rachael...........rachael...........& only RACHAEL.

And she is not one of those dumb bimbos............she acts quite well.

I had watched her movie josie and the pussycats twice.........given a choice I will watch it again & again & again.....

PS: DON'T APE AT THE PICS........@##$%^&

In search of T R U T H

Picked up this book In search of Secret India by - Paul Brunton

Dr. Paul Brunton

Its a book that describes Paul Bruton's search for a guru in India in the early part of the twentieth century. After meeting many acclaimed yogis, he decides his true guru is Sri Ramana Maharshi and returns to Arunchala for several weeks of intensive instruction.

The final chapters describe the oral teachings given to Brunton by Ramana and the subjective experience of practicing Ramana's method, including the first sudden experience of the true Self.

This book seems to be a thought- provoking- one. and I am sure, I will be hooked onto it this entire week.

BPOs...................

Ha ha ha
So much for those who were proud of the fact that they were working in a BPO/call center........ in particular............ night shifts !!!!. Hmmnnn.......Nice way to work (Mixing business with pleasure)

I recently got a mail from someone in Infosys which brought to true light what was actually going on. Then we had the Economic Times coming out in their headlines about this issue (See the article: Its freedom after midnight in BPOs).

This was bound to happen, young people in their early twenty's (like us). But I can tell you that this is a temporary pahse. The industry is in its nascent stage. It is growing and with growth comes a lot of changes. This is one part of it.

We (the young bloods) are capable of understanding the pros and cons of every situation we come across. How we deal with it is a matter of perception which differs from person to person.

Mergers and Acquisitions

This is what I read in 'THE ECONOMIST' about the new way of doing M&A deals.

The article said:

FOR some Japanese firms, acquiring another company may soon be a little like getting a pizza delivered. On September 1st, Strike, a Japanese consulting firm that advises on mergers and acquisitions (M&A), launched a new service to help clients put a price on potential deals. Strike promises a speedy response. It will deliver your calculation within a week, or you get it for half price. Clearly, the service is aimed at small firms and internet start-ups.

This is a complete changeover from the methods practiced till now on.

Moreover its good......for these companies donot have that much of monetary power to suffer the long process of the acquisition cycle.

But the million dollar question is

WHETHER THIS METHOD CAN BE APPLICABLE IN CASE OF INDIAN COMPANIES??

Watch this space??

Life@IBS

God......... you never know how time........ flies by.

It seems just the other day I joined IBS (Icfai Business School)......and now a year has passed. The other day we had the welcoming party for the freshers. The party went up till 2 AM. and it was quite a good one considering the financial limitaions we seniors had to put up with.

In this one year I gained a lot (of weight) and lost a lot (of friends.....not that all due to my fault).

One thing has remained the same though.......my understanding of other people has remained a null as before. It seems to me that it would be better to leave it to God...... matters regarding these.

Oh !! By the way I have just pasted a Shoutbox on my site.

Hope you guys would like it.

There was a problem with my SMS facility before........it took me a day or two to fix it up. Now its workin just fine.

Thats all for now
