Twenty years from now, my men will be ready to die for me, but not for you.’

The above line sounded like one of  Togadia’s or Modi’s usual rhetoric when I first read the headline in Rediff news yesterday..still I proceeded to click the link and open the article to be left utterly speechless and pleasantly surprised.

The above line is a retort by a 21yr old NDA cadet to his engineering friends while discussing how much money they’ll make in their respective careers. As the article suggested its not just the explosive nature of the reply that impresses  but also the belief with which it was said that leaves the reader with so much to ponder about.

In times when most of us crib on a regular basis as  to how-Bhalai ka zamana na raha, log matlabi ho gayen hein etc. It is heartening to see that there are young Indians who still believe  that faith , trust and loyalty are not words extinct. And when the belief is as sincere as shown in this case…it can only spread.

Sincerely Proud..

Did anyone imagine that an Indian businessman could say: “We can manage Land Rover and Jaguar better than Ford.”

Resolutions Update

The New Year is already 10 days old, so I thought I’ll give myself a status update (Yeah..Yeah, I work in IT) on my recently made but unposted resolutions.

Resolution 1: Quit Smoking-Once and for all.

Status: Doing surprisingly well, actually too well…doing so well that quit not once but thrice already in the first 10 days..and all the 3 times have been ‘once and for all’ ..Planning to quit again tommorow..and then again the day after…

 

Resolution 2: Find myself a girlfriend.

Status: Hehe..This one’s actually a veteran, been on my resolutions list for some years now…its like that player who regularly gets picked into the squad…but never gets any action. But on a positive note…I think there will be some development on this front soon..or so I hope…’Hope’ is such a beautiful support structure..

 

Resolution 3: Be Kind, Helpful and Friendly.

Update: I was kind enough to treat myself to 2 movies in as many days.

 

Resolution 4: The amount of time…(what!?…still thinking about the ‘helpful’ and ‘friendly’ part of the 3rd resolution?..uhm..well..I can only be one thing at a time…and definitely I am no saint…anyways I didnt say I’ll be all the three together…and…I think ‘kind’ is a decent start). Yeah, So I was saying, considering the amount of time by which my thesis has got delayed…I realised its not gonna happen unless I strongly resolve to do it. So, at #4-Finish Thesis.

Update: Now, since this one is a first timer…unlike the 2nd resolution..I shall come back to it later during the year…or maybe the one after.

 

Resolution 5: Will not do or say anything Racist.

Update: Since Kangaroos don’t like being called monkeys..uh..ok..peace.

FYI last time I sang “Sexy Lady” & “Wasn’t me”, I’ll also sang “Spinning around ” and “Can’t get you outta my head”..just to show that I hear to music by all kinds of skins…and my genre is not just asian or black.

On my last visit to the Zoo after visiting the apes enclosure I asked for the Kangaroos as well..its not my fault there are no kangaroos in Hyderabad Zoo…Im not a racist.

Finally, I know a Black Merc is irresistible but being a non racist person I would consider a white one as well before I buy..whenever that will be.

Okay..thats a wrap on the update.

 

PS: I just read the post and I think….I NEED HELP!!
