Lessons from Raj Thackeray

This was a really good chain mail I got and it discusses about the lessons you should learn(rather not) from Raj Thackeray. Thanks Nishu, for forwarding this email.

We all should support Raj Thackeray and take his initiative ahead by
doing more...

We should teach our kids that if he is second in class, don't study
harder.. just beat up the student coming first and throw him out of
the school
Parliament should have only Delhiites as it is located in Delhi
Prime-minister, president and all other leaders should only be from Delhi
No Hindi movie should be made in Bombay. Only Marathi.
At every state border, buses, trains, flights should be stopped and
staff changed to local men
All Maharashtrians working abroad or in other states should be sent
back as they are SNATCHING employment from Locals
Lord Shiv, Ganesha and Parvati should not be worshiped in our state as
they belong to north (Himalayas)
Visits to Taj Mahal should be restricted to people from UP only
Relief for farmers in Maharashtra should not come from centre because
that is the money collected as Tax from whole of India, so why should
it be given to someone in Maharashtra?
Let's support Kashmiri Militants because they are right in killing and
injuring innocent people for the benefit of their state and
community..
Let's throw all MNCs out of Maharashtra, why should they earn from us?
We will open our own Maharashtra Microsoft, MH Pepsi and MH Marutis of
the world
Let's stop using cellphones, emails, TV, foreign Movies and dramas.
James Bond should speak Marathi
We should be ready to die hungry or buy food at 10 times higher price
but should not accept imports from other states
We should not allow any industry to be setup in Maharashtra because
all machinery comes from outside
We should STOP using local trains... Trains are not manufactured by
Marathi manoos and Railway Minister is a Bihari
Ensure that all our children are born, grow, live and die without ever
stepping out of Maharashtra, then they will become true Marathi's

You forward many mails cracking jokes on our country and people but if
you are a citizen of our Country first and then of your state and
think what MNS is doing is wrong and should be STOPPED, Plz keep
forwarding this mail.

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.
