Check De India
Even though, all my optimist expectations on World Cup became true, I had a very pessimist expectations on outcomes of Indian win. Twenty20 World Cup will be conducted once in every two years. Does that mean, once in two years, there are more chances of mobs burning effigies of cricketers or cricket board as well as state governments pouring money on cricketers. Yuvi is given 1 crore as well...

Jack of all trades - The Darker Side
The following is a technology related stuff and The Darker Side of Me and a very very very long “essay” about me. Be warned. Gone are the days when I didn’t know how to shut down a windows PC. When I use to call those so-called “engineers” to fix my PC and shell out an extra buck to get some games installed on my box. I remember the day when my cousins made fun of me...

Unlucky RSA and the lucky Oz
No !!! I’m not going to talk about RSA algorithm for signing and encryption, but about Republic of South Africa. And its about South African cricket team. Even though I’m not a hardcore fan of cricket I follow the results of almost all the matches. As an Indian, Team India is the team which I always want to win.

Michael Moore’s two documentaries Fahrenheit 9/11 and Sicko made me believe what ever he has shown in the movie. I almost believed some of those Theories after watching few documentaries. Today, I realized that I shouldn’t believe everything that I see in those...

Denial to Acceptance

I read about this in a management book by Andrew S Grove - Only The Paranoid Survive. The book is about exploiting crisis points that challenge every company. Those crisis points which can make business diminish or make them grow enormous. While reading that book, I understood...
