Where is the Cash!!!



Credit card companies do come up with some nice line.. Today happened to stumble upon one HSBC line that me laugh.. It said.. "Shop More, Live more"...

Well who does not want to shop and live more.. But I wanted to ask.. Who is giving free monies... Are they???

Silence

The other day while driving back home from office, one of my colleagues asked me..

"How comfortable are you with Silence!!?"

Pat came the reply.. very much..

Though on second thoughts.. I do not think so as humans we can ever be comfortable with silence. Yes maybe when one has a good control over his / her mind... this may happen. We keep searching for something or the other to keep our selves occupied.. Even when alone.. a book, the music, the fleeting thoughts over some fun / argument.. keep running though.. Yeah now a days, the fingers running over mobile keeps us more occupied that any thing else...

The only time that I can think of being very comfortable is sitting quietly at the sea shore.... I do not why but a big solace and comfort... :)

Smoke on Fire...

Funny Language -- English


English .. English... Oh my dear universal language...

How much more beating would be taking.. Recently on my travel to Yelagiri, an hill station close to 200 Km from Chennai on the national highway to Bangalore, I happened to see this lovely board with a rate chart. Amazed at the governmental help to educate all...

The Crossroad..

This is some thing that I had jotted down a few weeks back...

I have been at a strange juncture of my life. A time where i had to choose between a career that has been well established for the last 4 1/2 years to that of some thing new. A time again to rejuvinate my strength and start my fight to re-establish my place in this new company. Well on one hand i am sure of myself that my inner strength and will, will drive me to establish my self. But deep down some where there is a feeling that if i could have managed the current system for some more time then i could have moved up in a well established place. But then I could not compromise on my self respect and dignity.

But then new place and new environment excites me. It does gives me the energy to fight. For me it has always been the time factor. I am patiently gonna wait and fight to prove my self, rest all time will say.... Good Luck Sid!!

Anger -- Health, wealth & Dignity!!!

As a child, I was always told that Anger is not good for health. During my management classes I was told to manage my anger. But, today I learnt how anger can not only be bad to health, as well as to wealth and dignity…

There was this lady in my office, who had given some of her clothes (Blanket & Towel) to be dry cleaned. The way these dry cleaners deal with others things, they happened to spoil the towel. On being caught and questioned, they also added that they could bleach it clean white. Being an expensive towel, the lady argued. The argument got hated up with the broken English manager in between. When the lady found that the dry-cleaners are not going to give her money or apologize, she happens to pick an iron rod and went whack on the glass pane. The glass pane came shattering down…

When she came back to the office, there was an government official to receive her, who politely requested her to come to the police station as the owner of the dry-cleaning agency has filed a case. Poor lady, all this happened for what.. a 800 buck towel!!!

So lesson learnt.. control your anger or else loose your health, wealth & dignity…..
