Dont bullshit yourselves, tells the CTO

Its not every day one gets to hear his CTO. He sure was able to send another Electric Thought to the brains in the gathering; he just blew the lid by saying "Do not Bullshit yourselves". How true.We Bullshit ourselves too much. Even if there is evidence of murder we say the possibility of suicide is lingering. If there are potholes form the last season rains, we still make ourselves believe it from the last nights rain. Even if there is an evident BUG, we still Bullshit ourselves that the customer might just not use that scenario. So WHOLE in a HOLE we live a Bullshit life. I wonder how it would be if the life BULLSHIT's on us one day & says Gave Over!

Religion is a No Option Column in ones birth Certificate

In the aftermath of Mumbai Carnegie, as I sit back and listen to the fundamentalists, atheist and all religious leaders, I take a minute and think for myself as to what my religion is and why I am in this religion just to realise that I had absolutely no choice of a religion. I was born into this religion. So why fight for it, or fight against others religion. I do not understand the dynamics of such religious sentiments.

The Sprit Of Mumbai

Mumbai;” the city of dreams” is what each Indian would like to call her. She is a city where the old India has realized their dreams, and the young India hopes to realize theirs. She is the financial capital of this nation. She is the most happening place in this country, and off course with the terror strikes last week, she definitely is on the frontline of all the dailies and media around the world.
A common mumbaikar (a person living in Mumbai is addressed as a Mumbaikar, meaning a person belonging to Mumbai.) would not get shattered by seeing a terrorist attack like this as they have seen this many times. They always deal with terror situations with utmost tenacity and courage. Life starts to roll to normalcy within hours whenever a calamity has struck mumbai. Indians’ have always loved this mental condition of this city to come back to normal life in a short span of time. We have seen this happen when the stock exchange was bombed in 1992, and also when the the serial blasts ripped across the city in 2006. Such is the sprit that each mumbaikar used to believe in. This is romanticized as the Sprit Of Mumbai. This romantic term sprit of mumbai that the media coined for the people of this city has helped them to walk to work stepping on the rubbles after a bomb attack not wanting to remember what had happened. This Sprit of Mumbai has helped them board the same trains next day after a bloody bomb attack even without questioning the authorities once before they board them. This Sprit which the Page 3 materials talk about and glamorize on media after each mishap in Mumbai had thought an average mumbaikar to falsly believe in it and take pride.

The fact of the matter is that the people in Mumbai had no choice. It was the helplessness of a city that was romantically and scenically called as the Sprit of Mumbai. I am not sure how many cities in this world would have metros stop just for 2 hours before resuming service the next day at 3 in the morning. I would not know if there would be any other city where someone would leave home at 5 in the morning to work and return back only after midnight that too relentlessly for years. But I know for sure that in Mumbai this is common. Such is her strength and such is her will for survival. It is this helplessness of this city that has been called the Sprit of Mumbai.

This administered Sprit had somewhere taken away the true sprit of Mumbai. The sprit to fight for ones right, the sprit to shunt work and look around after a mishap, the true sprit to hold hands of each other in reassurance, the true sprit to voice out the concerns of the common man, the true sprit to salute the once like the NSG and the Fire Guards who help the common man in eventuality, and the sprit to accuse the failed lot who made a Joke of this nation by allowing such an attack on our motherland.
But now the true Sprit is back in Mumbai.
I feel so proud to see Mumbai get back its forgotten Sprit Of Mumbai today when they gathered at the gate way of India to protest against the attacks. I was pleasantly surprised to hear the anger of people of mumbai and also the suggestions which people of Mumbai have to put forth to the administration of this country. Now I know for sure that the Sprit of Mumbai is back.

My salutes to the Sprit of Mumbai.

Nobody Kicks A Dead Dog

I grieve this day. My country has yet again been targeted.

I have failed in my own course of responsibility. Though I know I could have done little, I feel sad to have put this country on such a threshold where there has been yet another Intelligence failure. Its even more frustrating to see the top office bearers of India coming on television and yet again say that they will put stringent rules, pass new bills, urge the international community to take cognizance of this situation. With all respect sir/s it is a shame to do this again and again. In my understanding your job is to prevent these things from happening. You have failed us and more than us you have failed yourself.

May be the thought that I should have been an intelligence officer, or a politician or an administrative officer who could have downed some power and saved my own face by preventing this rather than languishing as a software engineer is burning inside me.

Nobody one kicks a dead dog. To have targeted my country at this time tells me that the true India Growing story is the fundamental to this outcry of militants. Otherwise why would they want to storm the best hotels and hold our foreign guests hostages. Simple, get international attention and in the current market scenario spread the message that India is not a great place for any of your future investments. Keep off this place. Well this might not happen, however the strategist behind this have definitely succeeded for the time being.

The friends who have come for their outing with the AK’s and grenades last day are surely not going home, but they die leaving a huge scar on each Indians heart which would be far from forgotten.

Guys Vote at least this time.. I surely am doing it.

Lets get the right men who would not think twice about votes and re-elections before they act.

Is there something like the wrong thing to do? or is it that; it is that some deeds or actions or situations are most commonly interpreted as wrong in the current social fabric?

I feel its the way one look at things. If you feel it is wrong, it is; and If you feel it is not it should not be.

The most easiest way to complicate your life is to feel that you are doing wrong.

Nobody is wrong!

TATA GRANDE, AN EYE CATCHER BUT A TRUE TATA FEEL

GRANDE is a monster to look at, the only car that I would compare the looks of a GRANDE would be with that of a HUMMER H2, alright.. alright.. that’s a bit too far. Nevertheless, the GRANDE has a Majestic Road Presence that any Indian car would be envious about. It’s a killer to ones eyes. I am overly impressed by the looks of this beast.

The black one is mind blowing. Believe it or not, Unless you notice the TATA symbol on the front grill, you are not gonna believe that it's from the TATA stable. Looks like “LOOKS” are the In thing at TATA these days. On the contrary, If I blindfold you and get you inside this car, the moment you give the ignition , you are gonna shout loud, "FEELS LIKE A TATA". Reason; it’s an overpowered Sumo and nothing more than that. A total disappointment in performance.


GRANDE comes with a 2.2L engine and has 120 bhp. However the low end torque is poor and the handling of the car in city condition is pathetic. The transmission issue has been TATA's hereditary malfunctioning entity. This gene is passed on to GRANDE with utmost caution and is as bad as it is in other versions of TATA.

The interiors are ordinary, Honestly nothing more was expected. The plastic is cheap as usual. The space is awesome and the seating comfort is pretty good. They come with adjustable steer wheel which is nice and the Front seats are height adjustable. The Road view is awesome. The car has an electronic adjustable rear view mirror which is very useful for such a huge machine. The Dash has been designed for some serious usage. GRANDE like SAFARI comes with dual A/C which is really good.GRANDE comes in two variants, a 7 seater and an 8 seater, even the sales guy had no clue what else is different.

Priced at 8.5 L on road Bangalore price it’s not a bad deal for a chauffeur driven category.
DISCLAIMER: its yet to get the RTO clearance.. May be the RTO is amused as to which category this has to be placed…

The Wannabe Indian

Last day I had the opportunity to watch a reality show on TV called the Roadies. It is in its preliminary phase and the auditions are going on around the country.

There comes a girl about 20 years of age whom i thought was beautiful and from a well to do household. The Judges for this show are world know freaks and you can expect anything out of them, that's the breed that they are and that's the only reason why they are there.

Raghu and Nikil who are the Judges for Roadies are well know to Indian youth.

Raghu comes in as a very interesting character to me; I think this guy is very intelligent and has the knack of judging people very well.

Moving on... the girl in context settles down for her audition. Raghu reads out her audition form in which she has mentioned that she likes kissing women and she does not know if she is a lesbian. She claims that she does this to grab attention. Now this statement was a shocker to me. However I admire the guts of this girl for coming on a national channel and blurting out that she likes to kiss women and that she does this for attention.

I am not against anyone choosing their sexual comfort, All I wonder is where this little girl is going in her life. Surprisingly she was not the only one. Another girl; who I thought was totally blown on drugs while she was auditioning claims that she stays out of her house because she has an authority problem with her family members.
I think these little ones need help and should be under some counselor rather than on the way to bangkok.

These incidents are clear indications that we are adopting the west, we are wannabes of the western culture. The most interesting observation from those interviews were the fact that, both the girls were not comfortable doing what they claim they do on a daily basis. This characteristics of going to any extend to achieve a short time goal without knowing what you have paid for it is the exact reason why the West is called the Wild.

Remember they are those who run down East for solace and the real practitioners of Yoga and true believers of KARMA.

May be its a cycle aligned to the economic growth of our country where in the new sets of mantra are not to care for those who care for you.

I have been observing family patterns for sometime now and have realized that; only the ones who live under the strict framework of the family structure which actually is same around the globe are the ones who have lesser problems compared to the wannabes. I feel its not that they do not realize its just that they are busy digging a coal mine in search of gold.
