Pakistan, we love you

No, I am not drunk, no alcohol, I condemn terrorism and I still fuss over eating green vegetables.


Imagine, Imagine and just Imagine that one day everybody from India, i.e. me, u and v go to the border. There is a long-long, O yeah a very long line the other side too. Just hug one person and say, "Pakistan, we love you". Lung cancer, AIDS, Global Warming, accidents have taken many of our and your souls away. Let us just live in peace and give a ,.|.. to war mongers.
Am I asking too much ? Am I dreaming too high ?

Sorry, I woke up a bit late,
But I partied late, yesterday,
Today I feel a bit great,
And I want to extend a hand for my own sake.
No more, No less, Something I must confess,
I missed your support, I missed my brother,
When a couple of dreams here were blown away,
By a few stray bombs here and there,
But I still stand here with the same warmth,the same cold,
As I stood decades before.
I know my men, my ego and yours too,
But still I stand and say today, Pakistan, We love you.

Calling John Lennon

Imagine there's no countries 
It isn't hard to do 
Nothing to kill or die for 
And no religion too 
Imagine all the people 
Living life in peace 

PS: My condolences to those who lost their loved ones in the Mangalore air tragedy.

Giving the finger to a scripted life!

It's crazy to take jobs just because they look good on your resume. That's like saving sex for your old age. ~ Warren Buffet. You have plans for your life, career etc. You've built an entire script but what is this based on? Scott at Ted talks about how almost 80% of the people around the world don't like the job they do. In his career, he found one day that most of the job he did was automated by his competitors. Building the resume was clearly not way forward. It was during that time he he heard the quote by warren buffet, " It's crazy to take jobs just because they look good on your resume. That's like saving sex for your old age ". This was when he left his job. While there are know universities, which talk about finding your passion, Scott talks about a lens that can help in finding the job we love.

Twitter and the world of hate - Delhi Gang Rape

Common wisdom says that venting out reduces frustration. Twitter, Facebook, and blogs help us achieve the same. While what normally starts as a "venting out" experience, I suspect is turning out to be an anguish enhancer. When I look at trending topics on twitter all what I see is a world of "Hate". Small pieces of hate messages turn out to be a big collective bunch of hate. Take the case of Delhi gang rape and some ill-minded comments of politicians and spiritual gurus. What started as scattered bickering remarks against a comment made by "Asaram" has now become a full fledged ball of rage. This rage was "non-directional", had no agenda and was oriented towards sarcasm and wit. While Delhi gang rape highlights poor governance, societal problems and problems of law and order, venting out on a forum that accumulates the frustration by many such people only adds to the low well-being. It is time we use some discretion and post messages that...

Twitter vs. News - Effectiveness in building relations

Social Media has been termed as an effective way to build relationships. Brands are trying to harness this capability by building social presence on this new media. Celebrities today account for the maximum amount of followers on the web with twitter being a fine example for this. But is this new media effective in creating relationships with this vast list of followers, which celebrities often tend to have? In an interesting research by Lee and Jang , they explore the effectiveness of celebrities in building social presence on new media. They compare twitter and a news website to check the relative effectiveness of enhancing social presence. While the traditional PR machinery used by celebrities might give them news coverage, they contend that their tweets can reduce the barrier of relational development as compared to a news website. Their findings are counter-intuitive and very interesting.
