Significance of wearing saree

I remembered one touching line from a telugu song which was prasing a woman wearing saree

Let me put the line as it is:

" Nuvvu pattu cheera kadithe oh putthadi bomma
aa kattubadiki tarinchenu pattu purugu janma!!! "

Wow.....

All the very best Padma Bhushan Nandan

Infosys proved it again!!!

Though Nandan M. Nilekani is very crucial to their business when the Govt of India needs his service, board members of Infosys has accepted his resignation and showed their responsibility towards country when they need to scarify an impartment recourse and co founder of the company.

Nandan has been involved in various initiatives of the central and state governments; He was the Chairman of the Government of India’s IT Task Force for power. Nandan has also served as a member of the subcommittee of the Securities and Exchange Board of India that dealt with issues related to Insider Trading, and as a member of the Reserve Bank of India’s Advisory Group on corporate governance.

Being the author of the book “Imagining India? Ideas for the New Century?” he has indepth knowledge on

1. Globalization, India’s demographic advantages.
2. India’s infrastructural challenges.
3. India’s issues such as conflicting political ideologies, labour reform and higher education.
4. India’s democracy and technology, health, pensions and entitlements, the environment and energy.

No doubt he is the right person to chair “unique identity Program” to address
The security concerns and many e-Governance services incorporating online verification of a person's identity.

Let us all wish Padma Bhushan Nandan to drive UID program successfully and help the country

Lift Please

After so many days I thought of pen down something in my blog. Being busy(Oh really ????) I was not even touched my blog for a year and felt some thing missing.

Last month I was going back to my place after office around 8pm from Hi-tech city to kukat pally via Hi-Tech city station. It is very common that few of the people will be waiting at cyber towers to go towards kukatpally(most of them to Hi-tech city station) and request for lift in bikes and cars.

I like to give lift to the needy but the question is to whom I have to give lift among them? Generally my methode to sort one person from the crowd will be like this

1. First I prefer the people who are thin (my Bajaj CT100 will cry if both are traveling on it are above 200kgs :-) )

2. Second I will look for the poor. mostly my choise will be people belong to construction work or security staff in the corporate companies near hitech city.

3. A third criteria is the one who is walking rather standing and expecting some one’s lift.

I will get satisfaction most of the times and few times punishments too
Let me explain one such situation:

One day I was on the way to office and near JNTU I saw a 10 years old boy expecting lift. I thought of giving him lift and stopped my bike and called that boy to come and sit.
I surprised to see along with this child another 18 year boy also occupied my back seat.

With his attire of black dress(usually lord sabarimali ayyappa devotees wear black dress)I understand that he is a devotee and I doubted he is not a true devotee. But i don’t have guts to ask that guy to get down(who like to mess with lord ayyappa??).

i started moving.........

few minutes that devotee(i dont think he is a fraud) has started his speech about praying methods and his plans to go kerala etc continuously.

Literally it was a torture and I thought of asking him to get down twice before reaching hitech city. Because of that child i was bearing him. When I reached hitech city this guy has asked me to provide INR 500 towards his expenses to go sabari(Kerala) .

I got angry but being coward to mess up with god I have contributes INR 100 and said bye bye.

So bottom of the story: judge people before giving lift to them

Overseas Jobs

In a poor zoo in India, a lion was very frustrated as it was offered not more than 1 kg of meat a day. The lion thought its prayers were answered when one of the managers at Dubai Zoo visited the zoo and requested the zoo management to send the lion to Dubai Zoo.
The lion was very happy and started thinking of a centrally A/C environment, a goat or two every day and a Dubai Residence Permit also.On the first day of its arrival at the zoo the lion was offered a big, very nicely sealed bag for breakfast.
The lion opened it quickly but was shocked to see that it contained peanuts. The lion thought that may be they cared too much for him as they were worried about his stomach as he had recently been shipped in from India.
The next day the same thing happened.
On the third day again the same food bag of peanuts was delivered.
The lion was very furious; it stopped the delivery boy and blasted him.
"Don't you know I am a lion... the king of the Jungle..., what's wrong with your management? What nonsense is this? Why are you delivering peanuts to me?"
The delivery boy politely said, "Sir, I know you are the king of the jungle but ...err... didn't you know that you have been brought here on a "monkey's visa."?

Ponting; Then ok. Come


;-) :-)

After watching the test match, I feel some rules have to be incorporated by ICC to give the other teams a perfect clarification

(1) Ricky Ponting – (THE TRULY GENUINE CRICKETER OF THE CRICKET ERA AND WHOSE INTEGRITY SHOULD NOT BE DOUBTED ) should be considered as the FOURTH UMPIRE. As per the new rules, FOURTH UMPIRE decision is final and will over ride any decisions taken by any other umpires. ON-FIELD umpires can seek the assistance of RICKY PONTING even if he is not on the field. This rule is to be made, so that every team should understand the importance of the FOURTH UMPIRE .

(2) While AUSTRALIAN TEAM is bowling, If the ball flies anywhere close to the AUSTRALIAN FIELDER(WITHIN 5 metre distance), the batsman is to be considered OUT irrelevant of whether the catch was taken cleanly or grassed. Any decision for further clarification should be seeked from the FOURTH UMPIRE. This is made to ensure that the cricket is played with SPORTIVE SPIRIT by all the teams.

(3) While BATTING, AUSTRALIAN players will wait for the ON-FIELD UMPIRE decisions only (even if the catch goes to the FIFTH SLIP as the ball might not have touched the bat). Each AUSTRALIAN batsman has to be out FOUR TIMES (minimum) before he can return to the pavilion. In case of THE CRICKETER WITH INTEGRITY, this can be higher.

(4) UMPIRES should consider a huge bonus if an AUSTRALIAN player scores a century. Any wrong decisions can be ignored as they will be paid huge bonus and will receive the backing of the AUSTRALIAN team and board.

(5) All AUSTRALIAN players are eligible to keep commenting about all players on the field and the OPPONENT TEAM should never comment as they will be spoiling the spirit of the AUSTRALIAN team. Any comments made in any other language are to be considered as RACIALISM only.

(6) MATCH REFREE decisions will be taken purely on the AUSTRALIAN TEAM advices only. Player views from the other teams decisions will not be considered for hearing. MATCH REFREES are to be given huge bonus if this rule is implemented.

(7) NO VISITING TEAM should plan to win in AUSTRALIA.. This is to ensure that the sportive spirit of CRICKET is maintained.

(8) THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE : If any bowler gets RICKY PONTING - "THE UNDISPUTED CRICKETER WITH INTEGTIRY IN THE GAME OF CRICKET" more than twice in a series, he will be banned for the REST OF THE SERIES. This is to ensure that the best batsman/Captain will be played to break records and create history in the game of CRICKET.

These rules will clarify better to the all the teams VISITING AUSTRALIA.

History does have its lessons

History does have its lessons

Next time someone starts to spread gossip, think of this:

In ancient Greece (469 - 399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded for his
wisdom.

One day the great philosopher came upon an acquaintance who ran up to
him excitedly and said, "Socrates, do you know what I just heard about
one of your students?"

Wait a moment," Socrates replied. "Before you tell me I'd like you to
pass a little test.It's called the Triple Filter Test."

"Triple filter?"

"That's right," Socrates continued. "Before you talk to me about my
student let's take a m! oment to filter what you're going to say. The
first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are
about to tell me is true?"

"No," the man said, "actually I just heard about it and..."

"All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it's true or
not. Now let's try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what
you are about to tell me about my student something good?"

"No, on the contrary..."

"So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about
him, even though you're not certain it's true?"

The man shrugged, a little embarrassed.

Socrates continued. "You may still pass the test though,because there
is a third filter - the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell
me about my student going to be useful to me?"

"No, not really..."

"Well," concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is neither
True nor Good nor even Useful,! why tell it to me at all?"

The man was defeated and ashamed.

This is the reason Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such
high esteem.

It also explains why he never found out that Plato (his student) was having an affair with his wife.
