Blogging boredom!! MBA- Masters in Bomb Assembly

Yes u got it right MBA no longer stands for what we all commonly believe it to be...Its turning out to be a Masters in Bomb Assembly!! Look at the recent terrorist attacks in Delhi and just go through the profiles of the people whom the Police says are behind the attacks and then it strikes u that they are young educated with bright future like most of us..Many of them are from Jamia Islamia University, one is from IIPM and each is pursuing courses like any normal Indian of his age..from MBA to Diploma in HRD to a course in English to engineering ...Students like u & me!!! Why then are they carrying such gory acts??Why then are they harming innocent people??why are the young educated getting brainwashed to harn others?

There are too many questions and its time the government actually starts taking this new form of terrorism more seriously and try killing it in its bud before its too late!!And i think each one of us should introspect on this issue and try getting an answer..all of us might come to diff conclusions but the point is we the common Indian need to stand up and fight it before its too late and not rely on the government or any instituion...Man! this sends shivers down my spine ..the very thought of someone being as educated as them doing what they are!!!

Blogging boredom!! Financial Crisis

Its been a while since ive updated my blog..earlier it used to churn out one blog a day but now its fallen to 1 blog a fortnight.Since the last time i blogged..theres a lot taken place..from the financial mess to terrorist attacks to floods...and il just get down to a few issues in this post which i found interesting...
Lets start with the economic turmoil!! Lehman brothers doesnt exist anymore..AIG got a bail out..Morgan Stanley and Goldmansachs are on the verge of collapsing...why wad how in 2 weeks all this!!!The free American Economy got so relaxed abt norms which led to them giving loans to those who couldnt repay and then investments in things which really had no opportunity to grow and finally some of them over investing in one area and with that area goin through a lean patch the companies crashed...in the last couple of weeks theres been so much of action and some ppl say the worsts not yet over...many more wil fall and many more of ppl like us will have to struggle even more for a living...Am hopin to do my MBA next year i just hope the economy revives soon or else its gonna be tough for us...Another strange thing is the fluctuating price of crude...yesterday it went up by a whoppingt 25$ to 130$ a barrel and then finally settling down to 120 odd and today its fallen to 108$ levels..even the Indian rupee is fluctuating like the yoyo...Inflation here in India doesnt seem to be in control ..prices stil rising..government policies are stil in a mess..dono where we're heading for but one things for sure we need to get ourselves mentally prepared to go on a rollercaoster ride and yes u might throw up and feel dizzie in between but then thats the name of the game called Life!!

Vodafone & Loyalty??

Strange it may be...but yes ive been loyal to vodafone/hutch for over 3 years now inspite of havin no network in class..extra charges poppin up for no reasons..network problems...call dropping.......the list wont end for sure..check out one of my earlier posts where i wrote loads of gaalis for vodafone..now vodafone suddenly decided to make us eof their "Happy to Help" tag line and "Make the most of now" by giving their so called "LOYAL" customers like me free life time validity to appreciate us sticking to them inspite of all the crap we have to face...But now now vodafone wil always be vodafone!!Can they actually be so nice??Hmmm naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....................The truth behind all this goody feeling is that they are shit scared that with the launch of the new networks in the comin months most of their existing customers may leave..most have already done that but thats another story..Do they think that the existing customers are so dumb that if u give them free validity they wil stick on..SERIOUSLY THEY ARE DUMB!!! only a minute number may buy that but others wil simply say TATA...And hey anybody from vodafone reading this..we r not as loyal as the pug in ur ad !!
Feels stranger now that i havent been that critical of vodafone and havent use my dictionary of abusive words for them...Am making the "most of now" with this extra validity until soem new problem turns up..and am sure its round the corner!!

Nano - Is it time to say TATA to Singur?

The most talked about car of the year , may be the decade..the nano was gonna herald a new revolution in the indian auto industry but sadly its heralded in a political revolution in the communist stronghold against the communists rather than the latter.An ambitious project to manufacture a 1 lakh car needs all the backing from all stratas of society.But in India there is one class of people who wil always oppose it- the political class!!!They need a reason to protest and make an issue out of something to gain some electoral votes.The protests at Singur and the blockage of the highway is it making more and more difficult for the TATAs to continue with their factory there.Aprt from that there staff is being threatened too...Most of u who read my blog must be knowing abt the politics of it so i shall nto go into that.Ill bring out a totaly new angle....

Whose funding the protesters??Figures put it at Rs 1 crore a day is being spent on them...its too huge an amount for any party to spend on a daily basis.The CBI and the IT dept should go ahead and look into the accounts of these parties.Goin on with the next question..Who wil suffer the most if the NANO rolls out??The answer is pretty obvious the 2 wheelers companies...
SO my next question..Have they got anything to do with it??YES very well may be true..as Ratan Tata put it in an intervioew a few months back that certain corporates are tryin to sabotage this whole project..I cant give u the names cause i dono who they are..they are rumours abt certain companies and would like to keep them like that and not mention them here..

Now its no more just a political issue..its as much as a corporate battle as a political one..I think the TATAs ,who have been known for there humanity and are undoubtedly the most respected Indian corporate, should get out of that place and say TATA to Singur..monetary loss set aside..Its gonna hit them hard but then once the problems start they wil never end..a temp solution may com eout but peace and stability wil not be long lasting..

75!!!


The clocks ticking..its the countdown to the biggest battle ive faced yet- CAT-08.. 75 days to go!!!
