There is in fact, another factor that influences this interpretational bias. There is and old dichotomy in the way in which Western and non-western ideas and scholarship are currently comprehended, with a tendency to attribute a predominant role to religiosity in interpreting the works of non-Western intellectuals who had secular interests along with strong religious beliefs. It is, for example, not assumed that, say, Isaac Newton's scientific work must be understood in primarily Christian terms ( even though he did have Christian beliefs), nor presumed that his contributions to worldly knowledge must somehow be interpreted in the light of his deep interest in mysticism ( important as mystical speculations evidently were to Newton himself and even perhaps for some of the motivation for his efforts). In contrast, when it comes to non-Western cultures, religious reductionism tends to exert a gripping influence. For example, there is a widespread tendency to presume that none of the general intellectual works of Buddhist scholars or of Tantric practitioners in India or China could be 'properly understood' except in the special light of their religious beliefs and practices.
I have read 8 out of 16 essays by Amartya Sen in The Argumentative Indian. In fact I have skipped a lot of content as he himself acknowledges in the preface that a lot of material might be replicated, since essays have been written at different times, and not originally intended to be a book. Most of the book is about how India and Indians have contributed to the world much more than their religious beliefs and practices. How, India has had a rich democracy and an ability to accommodate various ethnic groups since time immemorial which has facilitated a lot of give and take between different cultures not only in terms of the cultural exchanges but scientific, or rather mathematical influences as well. Speaking of the scientific and mathematical exchanges, he repeatedly cites the decimal system and few astronomical calculations by our ancient scientists. And, as is expected of a Nobel laureate, he backs each claim of his with some solid evidence and debunks some popular myths about India and Indians. He also chastises the Hindutva brigade of attempting to isolate India from the rest of the world and thus hindering the free flow of ideas. All in all, old wine in new bottle, but a bottle which is rather impressive due to the solid evidence that he cites to cement his claims. Though I would have been much happier if he had actually unearthed some contribution by India to the world, which is hitherto unknown. Decimal system, democracy, multi-ethnicity are all well known, well established. Give me something new, as is expected of a Nobel laureate !!

Not too many sequels are known for living up to their originals, except Lage Raho Munna Bhai, but still... Amitabh has done well. Abishek is average. Aishwarya has done better than Abhishek, but not quite as good as Amitabh. Her close ups are exemplary. There is quite an overdose of the background music plus many a times Amitabh takes epochal pauses between his dialogues which remind me of Atal Bihari Vajpayee's last days as prime minister. 7/10. I don't know why am I saying this, but it's better than Om Shanti Om.
Though Rajasthan Royals have won the IPL final, and though they were expected to win it quite easily, the fact is throughout the match they seemed the underdogs. Those big bags under Warne's eyes loudly proclaimed that he hadn't slept well, when he came for the toss. Then Chennai under Dhoni kept their cool and played slightly beyond their potential to reach 162. Chennai team gave the impression that they had peaked at the right time. And, they had indeed. Just that Yusuf had other ideas. And, when Rajasthan came out to bat, they were 44-3, not long after their chase began. Akmal was injured at least thrice during the match,Kaif once and Greame Smith didn't even play due to injury. All of which made Rajasthan's journey difficult. And when Yusuf was having a hell of a time playing a confident Murali, it seemed that all was over for Rajasthan. But, thanks to some loose deliveries by Murali, and Pathan's ability to control his nerves, his confidence was back with two consecutive sixes off him. What might go unnoticed though is Kaif's innings. He made only 12, but what he did was he made runs in Murali's over, which would have most likely not been made by anyone else. And had that last over by Murali been a tight one, game would have been very different. All in all, the final was between two of the best captains of the tournament, no one would be able to contest that claim.

As you might remember, I had started biking to work almost a week ago, and today I had my first semi-accident. Just 10 seconds ago, I had negotiated a very tricky situation at a decent speed, without hitting the brakes. And I thought I would scrape through this one easily as well, but the brakes didn't work as expected and in fact I hit them at least a second late. So, I crashed into a Maruti 800 in front of me, without causing any damage to either side, thankfully. The driver waited for some time and eventually decided to come out. It was evident that he was reluctant to engage in an argument, since he approached me rather slowly. I was ready with my "sorry boss" and "Main nuksan bhar doonga", but he was "Koi baat nahin" and that's it. Even yesterday, I was in a battle of sorts. I refused to yield space to a person coming from wrong side on his bike. He was a "cool dude" type, with a hunky frame. Though I didn't give him any space, another "gentleman" did. And once through,he started yelling, in English, "That's called helping out". I tried to ignore him, but he was adamant. "Stupid" "Stupid", I guess he said it 4-5 times, and he actually came pretty close to me in the process, accelerating in my face effectively. I was trying my best to ignore him(thankfully I didn't have my AK-47 :-)). Then the signal turned green, and we parted ways. Otherwise, who knows... :-)
if you are Shane Warne, that is. Not many athletes, let alone the plebeians, can make it look as cool as Warne. His leg-spin is legendary, and now captaining a nondescript Rajasthan team in IPL, he has put the team at the top of the table, ahead of much more expensive and star-studded teams. The intensity and effort he puts in making field placements, not only for his own bowling, but also others', and the constant chit-chat that goes on between him and his bowlers seem to have born fruit.
has been fantastic for past two days. It has been raining here and there. Temperatures have lowered and a breeze has been flowing across. All in all it reminds me of all those years in Bangalore.
For the past few days sandstorms have been a regular feature of Noida's night life. They are high speed,highly threatening sandstorms. Seems that the whole building would be blown away. Yesterday coupled with rain they played a hand in defeating Delhi's local team in IPL.

 This picture by Hindustan Times lensman Himanshu Vyas has won the IFRA Gold Award for News Photography. Vyas had heard about an orphan fawn being looked after by a Bishnoi woman near his hometown Jodhpur. At the mud dwelling, he noticed the fawn playing with her children. 'When hungry, the woman breastfed the fawn and her daughter simultaneously. Wildlife activism is publicised around the world. But this connect between man and nature is unparalleled,' he says.

More than a month ago, I watched this movie : Ray. It's based on a legendary musician Ray Charles. One of the unique things about him was that he sung his own songs, with his own lyrics while using the tunes from Gospel. Now, Gospel is basically related to Christian religion and can be thought of as really sacred part of the religion. It was considered blasphemous by many. How can someone use the religious tunes, and play with them, and morph them.... But that's art ! I was just thinking of an example on the same lines from Indian music fraternity. And the very first name that came to my mind was A. R. Rahman. For? For his Vande Mataram song ! I still remember, it created quite a furore in those days when it first appeared on the music charts. It was such a wonderful song, but still, it was sort of sacrilegious. After all, it was like someone manipulating India's national song ! But if the truth be told, it was a fantastic awe-inspiring tune ! And that's art !
For the first time today, I rode to work on Pankaj's bike. I wasn't sure if would be able to make it without hiccups, but everything went well. And I guess I have to thank Noida's traffic for that. People drive and ride rather slowly here, may be due to the high number of traffic signals and speed-breakers. Thanks to Pankaj, thanks Noida and thanks Anant for helping me with starting the bike :-)

Here is a story about Goldsmiths in TamilNadu committing suicides due to arrival of new technologies which have rendered them jobless and debt-trapped. Now, what I wonder about is whether committing suicides is a southern Indian phenomenon. Farmer suicides in Vidarbha and Andhra are part of the folklore now. Famines form part and parcel of Rajasthani farmers' lives but haven't heard of mass suicides there ever.
Here is an answer from now dysfunctional Google Answers service. Question was whether running too much without an athletic supporter (also known as jockstrap) could cause erectile dysfunction? " While there are several accepted causes of erectile dysfunction (ED), including medical conditions (illness, hormone imbalances, especially Diabetes), emotional/relationship issues and certain medicines, I couldn't find any information linking running/jogging without an athletic supporter with ED. Running without an athletic supporter may lead to minor injuries (depending on one's stride and speed and the size of one's penis/testicles, general fitness, et cetera) that shouldn't have a lasting effect because when they happen, the person immediately stops the activity to deal with the discomfort and/or pain involved. If someone is running 3-5 miles a day for a long period of time without experiencing any pain, running would not likely be the cause of ED. Athletic supporters mostly provide safety from contact injuries (bruising and rupture) when worn with a cup, and discomfort otherwise. "Some advertisemnents refer to preventing strain on the scrotum and spermatic cord, but these may be overrated. European soccer players seem to get along fine without athletic supporters." from: http://www.infernosoft.com/community/hockey/jock/jockstraps/ It also notes that athletic supporters do not prevent hernias (related to strain on the scrotum and spermatic cord). Although you didn't ask, there was no evidence found supporting a connection between a hernia and erectile dysfunction, though logic would indicate what if there is an injury, obtaining an erection may be painful or impossible until the injury has healed. If this is your situation, you should talk to a urologist or your family doctor about the situation, as there may be some underlying cause that can be corrected with treatment or should be under medical supervision. In these situations, the sooner the better. This answer does not constitute medical advice, per the Google disclaimer below. "

Here is the original.
The rich might want to photoshop India for the world, but does it ever discuss the other India? You celebrate our new cash-rich economy, yet 5 or 6 states have slipped further down the poverty line. Where does nation-building fit into all of this?
But to answer your question, except for politically correct forums, in all these years, I have never heard the uber-rich discuss the have-nots. They are just not interested! They are in denial. It’s not a part of their scripted dream, so why must they have to deal with it? Their conversation is always about making more money and enhancing lifestyle. Clothes, exotic villas, cars, bags, price of diamonds, gizmos. The women’s distress scale is measured by whether they have bought the correct bag or not (the price of just one of these bags could feed ten poor families for a year.) But there is a reason for this. The super-rich in India today are mostly first-generation rich, so their attitude to money is very different. They haven’t quite grown into a full sense of security about it, they are almost overwhelmed by their own capacity to spend. I am fascinated by this new money. There is an attempt to be casual, but they really want to be acknowledged as belonging to the billionaire’s club. They have a kind of schizophrenic reaction to money — maybe it’s a hangover from their parents’ days. So there are multibillionaires who are so wealthy the next five generations could live off them, and their 12-year old sons might ask them to buy them Porsches, yet they will count the sandwiches on their private jets or haul up their staff for changing the flowers before they have drooped.
In this, the idea of corporate governance or social responsibility is a very new thing. But you have to see it in the context of India being a very young nation. The Ambanis, Ruias, Mahindras, Mittals — all first and second generation rich — are only just waking up to the idea that’s there’s something called giving back. It may take a few years more — even another generation — but slowly you will see the beginnings of an endowment mentality. With the new globalisation of thinking, as India’s super-rich travel the globe and meet the world’s biggest philanthropists — Bill Gates or Warren Buffet or even an Anita Roddick who said, let my children make their own wealth, and has willed most of her empire to her favourite charities — it will take time, but slowly I believe a new kind of thinking will set in.

A discussion in the English parliament over reducing the import duty on tea : Sentimental advocates affirmed that tea ' tamed the rude strength of men, and ennobled the graceful weakness of women'. (This wasbefore the days of female athleticism.)
page 153, Chapter XI
Compared with alchohol, ' laments Mr. Lucas, 'tea has done nothing
for the humorist.' This is true, but why the challenge? Compared with
alcohol, tea has done nothing for the poet. Compared with alcohol, tea
has done nothing for the dramatist.
....
but if we ask, 'Compared with alcohol, what has tea done for man?'
There is an answer ready.
IIT Kanpur has topped the student suicide charts among all the IITs for at least last 5 years, may be more, I don't know about previous years. And, it is unwilling to let go of this position. It is high time IIT Kanpur did something to stop producing a depressed student batch year after year after year. I wonder if there is a single student batch in IIT Kanpur, which can claim to have graduated without losing at least one of their batchmates to suicides. If they can't do anything to rectify this, it would be best to shut down this institute in the best interest of thousands of students' psychological and mental health.

Now this movie is so similar to Little Miss Sunshine(LMS) in so many ways. First, a lot of it is shot in in a lot of sunshine, on the road, when two friends take up a car journey for a week. In LMS it's a family that takes up a road journey. LMS is full of loser characters, Sideways has only one but enough to drown any number of souls down.

Go 'way from my window,
Leave at your own chosen speed.
I'm not the one you want, babe,
I'm not the one you need.
You say you're lookin' for someone
Never weak but always strong,
To protect you an' defend you
Whether you are right or wrong,
Someone to open each and every door,
But it ain't me, babe,
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe,
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.

Go lightly on the ground.
I'm not the one you want, babe,
I will only let you down.
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who will promise never to part,
Someone to close his eyes for you,
Someone to close his heart,
Someone who will die for you an' more,
But it ain't me, babe,
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe,
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.
Go melt back into the night, babe,
Everything inside is made of stone.
There's nothing in here moving
An' anyway I'm not alone.
You say you're looking for someone
Who'll pick you up each time you fall,
To gather flowers constantly
An' to come each time you call,
A lover for your life an' nothing more,
But it ain't me, babe,
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe,
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.

I haven't seen too many movies when your heart comes to your mouth so often in a miserly span of 90 minutes. The fantastic soundtrack has a role to play in that as well. Name of this movie is an anagram of Rocket Boys, name of the novel on which it's based. Also, in a research done by Universal Pictures, women over 30 would not go to see a movie titled "Rocket Boys", [1] so Universal Pictures changed the title to be more inviting to a wider audience.

Okay. So this movie is all about a family, which right from the first frame is drowning in a pool of piss(excuse my language please, it's a good movie), with some really cool background music to back it up. Few minutes and a failed clutch later the piss kind of gives way to,umm, some clean water, then mud, then clean again and so on.. It's a real roller coaster ride. And the climax, boy, what a climax. It's like all the frustrated souls in the family come on stage and get dancing and the agent of this catharsis is their little daughter, the Little Miss Sunshine, she truly is. Let me know if you want to watch it ;-).
been reading "iCon-An unauthorized and unflinching portrait of Steve Jobs",
for a while. Had read The Google Story a few months ago as well. Whereas the google story was mostly about how the Google founders kept the devil at bay from taking over their souls, iCon is mostly about how Steve Jobs has succumbed to the devil time and again. It doesn't really make for a pleasant read nor an easy read. Though there are some interesting episodes illustrated in here, they don't really tickle you. Anyway, will try to finish it in a week or so (it's been a week alreay, I am a slow reader I know, but here I have been even slower).

Few hours ago, B Raman's open letter to Aamir Khan appeared on Rediff.
Anyone interested in Aamir Khan's decision to carry Olympic torch
should read this.
Here is a critical point he raises:
"Wherever the Olympic Torch is being taken, the Chinese have been keen that some prominent Muslim and Buddhist personalities also participate in carrying the torch so that they can demonstrate to the protesting Buddhists of Tibet, Sichuan, Gansu and Qinghai and to the protesting Muslims of Xinjiang that prominent Buddhist and Muslim leaders in other countries have endorsed the Games.
The importance of your participation and of the participation of Saif Ali Khan to the Chinese was not only because you are both widely-admired film artists. It was also because both of you are widely-respected Muslim personalities.
The importance of the participation of football hero Baichung Bhutia to the Chinese was not only because he is a football hero, but also because he is a highly-respected Buddhist personality. He saw through their game and declined to let himself be used by the Chinese. It is a pity you have not seen through their game."
If you live in Sector-21, you will find it interesting to see how the color of sky changes from gray to blue once you step into Noida Stadium, which is just in front of your sector. I find it surprising myself, but it seems that air inside Noida Stadium is just too clean. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - No matter in which part of Noida you reside, just step out of your home and you are greeted by an army of cars, either stationary or moving.

Just to quote from an article about this book :
By His Own Hand: A Study of Cricket's Suicides
by David FrithSome excerpts : "Tension and psychological stress in cricket are greater than in most other sports," it cannot be dismissed out of hand. Especially when he says that findings show the suicide-rate among professional cricketers around the world is higher than in any other sport. "Only superficially is cricket a team game. It is an individual game, and a lonely one. The player has to work out his own solutions in his playing days, and after retirement train himself not to dwell on the past too much." David Frith's By His Own Hand is a study of some 80 cricketers who committed suicide, and few write with his breadth of vision and depth of knowledge. "Cricketers are vulnerable because the game attracts sensitive men of aesthetic temperament, the very men who are, in the end, least well served by it."
Forget the historical correctness, no one is sure about it.
Watch it as a work of fiction, and you will love it.

I was just comparing P/E ratios for the same company(ies) in various publications. So, there is a clear difference. Moneycontrol and Times calculate PE based on trailing twelve months whereas Rediff calculates based on exactly an year ago. For e.g. a company A has following quarterly earnings : Mar'06 : x June'06 : y Sep'06 : z Dec'06 : w Mar'07 : p June'07 : q Sep'07 : r Dec'07 : s So, to calculate P/E today(Feb'2008), Rediff would take E = x+y+z+w but Moneycontrol would take it as E = p+q+r+s.
There is a quaint similarity in The Namesake and Anuranan. Both are wrapped in Bengali ethos and have utilized the shock value of death to the maximum. If the sudden death of Ashoke in The Namesake rocked the viewer to the core, Rahul's cold hand in Anuranan leaves him numb. Not too many times have I seen this brilliant usage of death in shocking the audience.
A nice, slow and breezing movie. Some of the fine moments in it : 1. When a kindergarten student proposes his Miss(Rituparna). 2. (a shuddering moment) When Raima touches Rahul's hand and finds it cold. 3. When Rituparna wakes up from a nightmare and fights with Rahul. 4. When a Tibetan kid holds Rahul's little finger.

Shaving can have numerous side effects, including cuts, abrasions, irritation and the feeling that something is missing. Many side effects can be minimized by using a fresh blade, applying plenty of lubrication, and avoiding pressing down with the razor. A shaving brush can also help. There are many products on the market to get rid of them, they commonly dry the affected area and some help to lift out the trapped hair(s). Some people choose to use only single-blade or wire-wrapped blades that shave farther away from the skin. Others cannot use razors at all and use depilatory shaving powders to dissolve hair above the skin's surface. Many people traditionally believed that shaving would cause the hair shaved to become thicker and darker. However, this bit of conventional wisdom has been disproven. The resulting stubble only makes the hairs seem to be thicker, as a shaved hair has a blunt end as opposed to the tapered end of an unshaven hair, and because hair is often darker in color near the root. Clinical studies have demonstrated that shaving does not have an effect on hair growth rates or density.[12] Source : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaving
c. Staring at screens is bad for your eyes Looking at a screen from the same distance for long periods leaves our eyes weak, dry and sore.

CSS versus tables -
Back when Netscape Navigator 4 dominated the browser market, the popular solution available for designers to lay out a Web page was by using tables. Often even simple designs for a page would require dozens of tables nested in each other. Many web templates in Dreamweaver and other WYSIWYG editors still use this technique today. Navigator 4 didn't support CSS to a useful degree, so it simply wasn't used. After the browser wars subsided, and the dominant browsers such as Internet Explorer became more W3C compliant, designers started turning toward CSS as an alternate means of laying out their pages. CSS proponents say that tables should be used only for tabular data, not for layout. Using CSS instead of tables also returns HTML to a semantic markup, which helps bots and search engines understand what's going on in a web page. All modern Web browsers support CSS with different degrees of limitations. However, one of the main points against CSS is that by relying on it exclusively, control is essentially relinquished as each browser has its own quirks which result in a slightly different page display. This is especially a problem as not every browser supports the same subset of CSS rules. For designers who are used to table-based layouts, developing Web sites in CSS often becomes a matter of trying to replicate what can be done with tables, leading some to find CSS design rather cumbersome due to lack of familiarity. For example, at one time it was rather difficult to produce certain design elements, such as vertical positioning, and full-length footers in a design using absolute positions. With the abundance of CSS resources available online today, though, designing with reasonable adherence to standards involves little more than applying CSS 2.1 or CSS 3 to properly structured markup. These days most modern browsers have solved most of these quirks in CSS rendering and this has made many different CSS layouts possible. However, some people continue to use old browsers, and designers need to keep this in mind, and allow for graceful degrading of pages in older browsers. Most notable among these old browsers are Internet Explorer 5 and 5.5, which, according to some web designers, are becoming the new Netscape Navigator 4 — a block that holds the World Wide Web back from converting to CSS design. However, the W3 Consortium has made CSS in combination with XHTML the standard for web design.

Is there any comparison really? Noida is well connected internally and to Delhi via buses, cycle rickshaws, auto rickshaws etc. Gurgaon has no auto rickshaws, very few and expensive cycle rickshaws, Connectivity to Delhi via buses is pathetic. Electricity situation is much better in Noida. Roads are well planned, make right angles. Gurgaon lacks there too. Traffic signals are much more than Gurgaon. But one thing is in favor of Gurgaon, and that is, at a lot of places its air breathes much easier and better than Noida. May be because of a huge number of industries are set up here in Noida.
Summary of an essay in the book "The Tipping Point", it's about how to stop teenage smoking which leads to smoking addiction.
Key conclusions :
1. it's in the genes, the amount of nicotine you can take.
2. the people who affect the teenagers the most are, not their parents or other adults, it are other teenagers.
solution : addiction requires crossing a certain threshold
of nicotine you take per day. if cigarette companies put less nicotine in each cigarette, that threshold would never be crossed and no one would become an addict.
*************** Some malicious softwares can use Autorun to infect your Windows PC. You can disable this feature using TweakUI on WindowsXp. If you are not using XP, search www.microsoft.com or google to find out how to disable it. **************************** Today I uninstalled a lot of programs on my XP machine, since I thought a large registry may result in slower performance. After that I was about to run a registry cleanup tool when I read this : " There are a number of problems with the concept of a registry cleaner. Most notably, there is no reliable way for a program to know whether any particular key is 'junk' or not. Windows is closed source, so registry cleaner designers can not know for sure whether any particular key is still being used by Windows or what detrimental effects removing it may have; leading to examples of registry cleaners causing loss of functionality and crashes.
With regards to performance, whilst on Windows 9x computers, it is possible that a very large registry could slow down the computer's startup time; the on-disc structure of the registry is entirely different on the NT line of Operating Systems (including Windows XP and Vista). Slowdown due to registry bloat is thus far less of an issue in modern versions of Windows. More importantly, however, the difference in speed due to the use of a registry cleaner is negligible: rarely do they remove more than a few kilobytes from the total size of the registry. In fact, technology journalist Ed Bott has claimed that no-one has ever succesfully managed to measure any significant performance increase from the use of a a registry cleaner. Any potential user of a registry cleaner must thus balance a probably negligible perfomance increase against a non-zero possibility of system instability.

So, I dropped the idea of using a registry cleaner.
Because India has a huge services industry and an almost non-existent product-industry in software. Now, advocates of product based companies abuse services companies with all the venom they ever possessed. And sometimes rightly so. But an open source model can go very well with the current software demographics in India. As Ajay Shah wrote a decade ago : , "Open source is a profound idea.... The enduring puzzle of India's software companies is their persistent inability to grow from projects to products. Open source is a powerful answer to this problem. Open source reduces the importance of products and raises the importance of services. With open source software, Anyone can contribute by improving the code -- adding new features, correcting errors, etc. The open source universe avoids the waste involved in 'reinventing the wheel,' which takes place in all software companies. In the open source world, each programmer builds on the work of others before him. This brings down the cost of development."

In his book Games Indians Play: Why We Are the Way We Are , V. Raghunathan writes about a farmer whose corn won top awards year after year. When a reporter asked about the secret of his success, the farmer attributed it to the fact that he shared his corn with his neighbors. Why, the reporter wondered, would the farmer want to share his seed when those neighbors also competed with him for the prize? The farmer's reply was, "The wind picks up pollen from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbors grew inferior corn, cross-pollination would steadily degrade the quality of my corn. If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors do the same." That Indians often fail to act like this farmer is the principal theme of Raghunathan's book. Here is the source.

Some time ago, I was part of a yahoo group consisting mostly of NRIs. There once started a discussion on why most Indian men go back to India in search of a bride. Here is an interesting response from one of those Indian men from USA: " You want to really know why? Because here we believe in freedom and all these great values but when it comes to practice Indo Americans fall short of acting on it or maybe because of race prevented from becoming these values. As a result, they really just care about the American dollar. How does this tie in with marriage. Well Indian women see Indian men as second class citizens here in the states. This country the minute you set forth makes you very aware that you are not important culturally. The white man here especially dates all our beautiful Indian women yet the Indian men who want to date anyone have problems because they have been given an inferiority complex and also often are told that they have never been seen in good light. Ever seen a white man come up to you when you are with their own kind quite frequently. Do you see an Indian man approaching an Indian girl who is dating a white guy. Never they have no balls (well most of them). So the truth of the matter is that the Indian man is forced to go back to India and marry a woman because his status becomes so high because he has American dollars now. That is probably the only reason it is so easy to flock back to India and pickup a wife. Of course any parent from India is going to see that the guy is a dollar sign. Of course luckily we are so traditional as a culture that even money doesn’t necessarily become the only glue for the relationship well at least I want to think so. "
"Hard work never killed anybody, but why take a chance?"- A quote attributed to various people.This quote always comes across as a joke on the lazy type. Whoever dared to think there was something wrong with working hard, was instantly forced to think of himself as someone making up excuses. But the fact is, that hard work actually kills people. And not only the blue collar people(working hard physically), but also the white collar ones. Have a look at this about what has happened/is happening in Japan : Source : Karoshi"...during the Bubble Economy, however, when several high-ranking business executives who were still in their prime years suddenly died without any previous sign of illness, that the media began picking up on what appeared to be a new phenomenon." So next time you want to work hard, think hard :-) -------------------------------------------------------- Original post on 01-01-2008 Work-related stress can kill, study finds(Added on 23-01-2008)

The day before I watched a movie called Slacker,by Richard Linklater(who has also made movies like Before Sunrise, Before Sunset and Dazed and Confused). A different concept altogether. Watch it to find out more. Then I also looked up Wikipedia for the term Slacker, and here is an excerpt : " Hard work for its own sake is a fairly modern phenomenon, becoming culturally acceptable during the Protestant Reformation. A positive view of work was not a cultural norm for Hebrew, Classical antiquity, or medieval cultures. Greek society recognized that work was necessary for the satisfaction of material needs, but philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle made it clear that the purpose for which the majority of men labored was "in order that the minority, the élite, might engage in pure exercises of the mind — art, philosophy, and politics". The Greeks believed that a person's prudence, morality, and wisdom was directly proportional to the amount of leisure time that person had. " Now, my two cents. How does Gita explain hard work for its own sake? Karm Yoga? There are 3 ways mentioned in Gita which get one closer to God : Karm Yoga, Bhakti Yoga and Gyan Yoga. So unless a Slacker is a believer(Bhakt, Bhakti Yoga) or has a sharp intellect devoted in search of God (Gyan Yog), he/she is not as spiritual as a non-Slacker.
Excerpt:
Even today, despite being a veteran of 116 Tests, Murali is a nervous wreck before a game. From the afternoon before, he is restless and nervy, sometimes short-tempered and curt, and tries to sleep as much as he can to avoid that feeling of nervousness. On the morning of a game he can’t even eat, and when he’s waiting for play to start spends most of his time locked up in the toilets or the changerooms. And till he bowls his first ball, Murali is worried. When he sends out
that first fizzing offbreak, though, a switch is thrown somewhere in the back of his mind. The nervous energy that comes from being expected to deliver in virtually every innings he bowls, is converted into a drive to perform.

Dubai-based Jumbo Group has opened its store in The Great India Place, Noida. Here one can try out mobile phones before buying them. I.e. live demo as opposed to the dummies placed in other retail chains(Subhiksha etc.). But the prices are slightly higher here. (See source) So a good strategy would be to try out and zoom in at your phone at Jumbo, at the Great India Place and then go to the basement of CenterStage Mall and buy from Subhiksha or The Mobile Store(located side by side).
   If these pictures tell the story of your marriage/relationship, may be you need something to read, ;-). Here is something for you to read, excerpts from 8 things no one tells
you about marriage.1. Early on, when people say, "Marriage takes work," you assume "work" means being patient when he forgets to put down the toilet seat. In your naiveté, you think that you will struggle to accommodate some annoying habit, like persistent knuckle cracking or flatulence. If only it were that easy. Human beings, you may have noticed, are not simple creatures. Your man has mysterious, unplumbed depths — and from where he sits, you're pretty complicated, too. You have to learn each other the same way that you once learned earth science or world geography.
"It's like losing weight," says Andrea Harden, 45, of Buffalo, NY. "You want it to be a one-time deal. You lost it, now just live. But then you learn it's a lifestyle. That's marriage. The effort is a forever thing." So don't be too hard on yourself — or him — on those days when you feel like you're struggling through remedial math. 2. Whoever decided to tell newlyweds "Never go to bed angry" doesn't know what it's like inside a bedroom where tears and accusations fly as one spouse talks the other into a woozy stupor until night meets the dawn. If this scenario sounds familiar, I've got three words for you: Sleep on it. 3. You will go without sex - sometimes for a long time - and that's okay. 4. A great marriage doesn't mean no conflict; it simply means a couple keeps trying to get it right.
5. You'll realize that you can only change yourself. For more read the original article.
