For the last 4 days, my left-eye is twitiching. It has been almost 3 years it happened. Well I did experience some bad-luck the last time it happened, but when was good luck on my side anyways :P ? But I went of searching on the net about superstition & eye twitching & as usual google came up with millions of links. Why is google so good in searching ? Millions of people suffer from eye twitching – in some it may be intermittent, brought on by a sudden increase of stress or sleeplessness. In others, it’s more pronounced and can interfere with day to day life. Regardless of which category a person falls into, there’s a goldmine of superstitions that revolve around eye twitching. In fact eye twitching ranks up there with itchy palms and hiccups as the most superstition prone condition! Each culture seems to have its own take on the deeper significance of eye twitching. In China for instance, where superstitions and myths frequently cross over into modern living, the chief superst...

Reality Shows are almost on every TV Channel. Some International, some Indian & guess what, our local Cable TV also has some dance reality shows. Here is the list of those in India LIST that have come through inspirations from abroad. While I am not here to comment on how bad or good they are since that is upto each individual to take the call, but what Reality Shows do is a hope for a “nobody”. Perhaps it reflects the desperation for success & hunger for opportunity. I don’t feel there is any difference between these reality shows and people queing for MHADA flats or Admission to Engineering / Medical or Concert / Show Tickets etc. All this is for a psychological odyssey of self satisfaction and the hope to achieve that dream. One common attribute seen is 90% aspirants, whether it is Singer / Dancer / Roadies / Splitsvilla / Celebrity Dance shows etc, it is always youngsters who are vying for the Gold. Being young is always being alive & ambitious. The network executives ...

Some of you might wonder about the title, but I mean what I say & I say what I mean that too in the order of appearance. The title I mentioned due to the following article Great Recession . Now first of all I have never heard about Mr. Michael Psaros, apart from C K Prahlad, Peter Drucker etc from the Corporate High Seat Accomodators. Second of all, what does it mean by forecasting a disaster? I would like to ask few questions such as : Based on what we are predicting recession ? I mean what are the parameters ? Why was it not forewarned when the market was singing big songs of success & upward mobil? Who are these people caused recession ? Consumers, Business Men, Investors, Government, Neghboring countries success ? What ? Whenever such people give comments, they probably give based on their business graph. Now, listen to this side of the story. My ex-colleagues, who are very much part of the outsourcing industry - IT & ITES, said this last six ...

I stumbled upon this story The Story A simple sentence has become the ultimate justification. IAF Chief is not an ordinary man. But on the hindsight when was the last time we had defense person accepting his mistake in front of a Civilian ? Even in personal life, defense guys are always considering themselves high above everybody. So this statement is not new. Even if it was there a mistake they would not accept it anyway. What should happen right now is situations like this should not be judged by Media. Whenever media comes to know about such things, & gets itself sitting in the between two parties, both the parties go on defensive. First, ask media to stop intervening. Second, find out the problem(technical or human factors) with respect to ATC, IAF Pilots & Commercial Airline Pilot. Third, under RTI, release a report. End of the story. Result : Valuable time & money on TV & News Paper will be saved & aam-junta will stop gossiping.

Apparently media now has new topic of discussion - INDIAN OF THE YEAR, ENTERTAINER OF THE YEAR(A. KHAN) or SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE blah blah. I pity our nation for getting independence and becoming republic . Did we become Republic for this reason so that we can have fun even when the house is burning. Kashmir issue is anyway a favorite side dish for all the scoun***** who are at the Lok Sabha, the Naxal issues and crime against women & children are a never ending cancer for us. Amidst all this we have Thackerey clan reminding us about that we are Marathi & not Indians(though they will close their speeches, with politically correct statements, "JAI HIND! JAI MAHARASHTRA") & scams from fodder, bofors, hawala, stock market(Mehtas, Parekhs & now the Rajus of the world) & also umpteen attempts & success to assassinate some sensible leaders like Indira Gandhi or Rajiv Gandhi along the line of Terrorist Attacks. Hence I really don't understand should we rej...
