Visa Power

A Declaration: I will not passs critique on any movie in this post.

Now as me and a lot of my friends are all caught up in expressing our sorrow or alternatively our elation based on our geographical location since the skipper is leaving we have manged to fail to recognise the economic coup that the americans have managed to pull off here!!!!
Credit must be given where its due. Now please bear with me here as I try and explain wht the hell I am talking bout.

The americans make us cough up a lot of greens before we can land our respective hineys in the promiseland....all sorts of test fees, application fees and all the other overheads....
We are also made to pay a fee for visa application...so thereby they make a lot of money....so whats the big deal?? u ask...well here it is..
the CIA with its vast spy network spread all over the world manages to identify a "PIED PIPER", so to say, from every community. Unlike the fable however this piper belongs to the fairer sex most often than not. What they will do is through their agents coerce this pied piper to go to US.
They will grant her a Visa even though she might not have her papers in order, might be a possible immigrant and similar shortcomings. U might call it luck I can it exceptional financial acumen.
Now once the piper is seven seas away wht do the rats do??? yeah u guessed it...they will surely try and gnaw their way to US in hot pursuit. So they will go thru the whole process pay thru their noses so on and so forth until they land up at the Consulate gates. However their applications will be denied. So they will reapply and reapply and then some sa there isnt a cap any more.
This policy netted the exchequer around $ 31 billion last year and is set to go up!!!!!
So dont worry folks america is well on its way to recovery thanks to our friendly neighbourhood pied piper and her flute!!!!!!!!

Soporific Saturday

Alas! Friday has arrived. The weekend is here. Yipeee!!!! ...These are the words that all my friends utter every friday of every week of every god damned month. If they dont meet me they make it a point to mail me their wretched cries of relief. "Crap" I say to myself "one more day to go for me before I can experience this relief". Ever since I have started working, this terrible curse has dogged me and as every saturday comes by I again start questioning the logic behind this saturday thing. Why in God's name would a person in S & M be working on a day when all his customers are busy doing nothing? Is it a way of saying that we are so bloody incompetent that we need to work one whole day more to keep our side of the deal? All management gurus, in all their ramblings will tell you that you need to be proactive, anticipate all the shit that you are likely to be in.....Fine ..that works...but there is only so much that even the best of businessmen can anticipa...

Lights........Camera.....Aaction!!!!!!

“Amitabh Bacchan, Sharmila Tagore and Sanjay Dutt” “Yeah right!! And we are the beatles” was our response when this guy narrated the list of people who would be visiting our house for the movie shoot. This was about June last year. We guys had a gala time pulling the guys legs and ridiculing the notion that our house would be the one selected for this shoot. Told all my friends and received more than the odd sarcastic sneer serving only to embolden my belief that it was no more than a trick being played to get us to sign up for this ‘circus’ (as it turned out in the end). We didn’t show any interest after that and neither were we being pestered for it. We had the art director come and pay a visit along with a rep. of the director. Still nothing moved along. They suggested that they would need to make some modification to our compound wall and we asked them shove it. That was the end of it as far as we were concerned. Then one fine day, a Friday, this fellow again came by the house wit...

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...
