a declaration: I will not pass critique on any movie in this one....

Now credit need to be given where it due. While we have been caught up in the all the grief or alternatively the elation depending on your geographic location we have somehow overlooked the revulotion in revenue generation that is about to sweep across the US of A.
consider this.....
The americans ask you to pay the following b4 u can get ur ass in their land.....
1. GRE fees
2. TOEFL fees.
3. Application fees.
4. Visa application fees
just to name a few heads.
add to that the overheads like courier charges, all sorts of fees that u gotta cough up to get all the necessary documentation.

Heres the masterpiece though. The CIA through their large spy network ( I have met a few of their agents ) identify the "pied piper" , so to speak,of every community. Unlike the story though this pied piper is mostly of the other gender. Now they will persuade this piper girl to take her GRE, TOEFL ....so on and so forth till they get her ovr there.......they will grant her a VISA even though she might not have the necessary documentation, she may be viewed as a possible immigrant and other such cases.
U might call it luck I call it exceptional financial acumen.
Now once the piper is in the states what do the rats do?? yes u guessed it........they will try to slowly gnaw their way to the land of the free. They will go through the whole process keep paying through their noses will get admits and will arrive at the consulate gate for the visa. But alas they will be denied. And so they will try again and again since there aint no cap any more.......as u can well imagine it will never stop.
This policy made the american exchequer some $ 31 billion last year and is set to go up...
The US is well on its way to recovery with a little help from the friendly neighbourhood pied piper!!!!!!

Train Drain

Was in training all of last week. They were trying to turn me into a "Young Leader". When you go through these trainings that teach you about management, communication, teamwork all such related names for what the marwadi clan calls " common sense" u are given a lot of case studies to pour over about how some companies were brought bck from the brink of extinction. They make fascinating reading and you are left with two major thoughts: 1. The size of the goneds that these guys must be having to take the decisions that they did. 2. Is it really as easy as they make it out to be??? C'mon of course they must have gone through hell. What did they do when their strategies blew up?? u gotta be given a chance to know that....wht do u think??   Had gone for another movie last week. DEEWAR....i gotta say it was one awesome experience. How do u take a good cast, a decent story base and a lot ofmoney and turn it into utter crap.  I was feeling like a gynac who upo...

The King of Screw-Ups? Not quite.

The cool gust of wind hit him flush on his face and awoke him from his reverie. The chill only made the pain worse. This time round however the wound wasnt external. He could deal with that. It was his Ego that had been hit and it hurt bad. There was only one thought on his mind as he sat there alone on that dark damp cool night his loneliness only compounded by the misery of the situation he found himself in. The last twenty minutes had just flown by. There was only though on his mind 'how could this have possibly happened'? It had all started so well just 24 hours ago. This was to be a very simple mission. He just had to go in exert some pressure, take care of a few little niggles and get out. There wasn't any fire fighting to be done this time. The Boss had told him just as the workday was getting over but there wasnt a problem. He had used his position to score good travel accomadations. The wind picked up again and alongwith it the pain ...

Who are "these people"?

I recently had the chance to visit Pune on a short trip. Between gobfuls of sumptuous comfort food I caught up  with lots of family and friends. During these conversations one common theme started to emerge that I cant stop  thinking about. But before I go any further a quick tangent…. ….On this trip I threw caution to the wind and ate what could be the Mt Rushmore of desserts. Puran Poli,  Basundi, Jilbi (aka Jalebi) and Motichur Ladoo. That led me to the conclusion that this is the best lineup of  desserts in the world and they all come from a relatively small geographical region. You add stalwarts like  Shrikhand, Aamras and Kaju katli to this list and we have a true All Star team! I challenge any region in the  world to come up with a better line up. But anyway, enough about that. Everytime I engaged in a conversation and the subject veered even close to the Indian State of the Union there  would be this common theme; XYZ is ...
