A tablet of Google before you make new friends

Well these days background checks have become as simple as pressing Enter on the keyboard…as a matter of fact and curiosity I Google all my acquaintances… to know more about them… and the stuff that usually turns up is pretty interesting…
From entrance exams, to house details, to interesting news items, Government of India has laid bare all the records for all to read… the electoral rolls… everything is online …googlexed (Google indexed) and googotized ( Google robotized )

Well I know my friends… how well do you know yours???

of MBA Tour, Married friends and other miscellanies

The MBA tour “happened” today, and I decided to do things differently this time. Instead of going at the start of the tour, I went in after about an hour. By this time the enthusiasm levels were already dropping for most visitors were tired. Right time for a focussed pitch. Grin :)

Received a call from a friend, who is now blissfully married (yeah right!!! that was an oxymoron), who used to say that things wouldn’t change between friends… well he is eating home-made food and his words these days…

The out of whack stereo in my car lets me listen to only cassettes now…no more FM for me… to top it, I have a useless cassette collection… so I am listening to gospel music (bhakti sangeet) these days from old worn out cassettes.

Job satisfaction within closed doors… MBA tour was followed by a panel discussion with alums…applicants poured out their hearts… from why don’t they consider 15 yrs education enough… to…. How much GMAT… the alums were like the nannies… a guy complained of low job satisfaction too…

One Down five more to go!!

Allright... today was a good day... not just because i wrote three couplets or the fact that i got up very early and enjoyed the morning... but because today my first application is on its way to Hyderabad today...
Its time to get cracking on the next application in line... this one will be going to London...:)
btw here are the couplets...
***********************************
Is it me the heavens are crying for,
or is it just the rain,
is it the gods washing my memories,
or is it just me and my pain??
***********************************
I wish i could stop this pain
I wish I had the power to heal,
alas i dont know i'd still be human
if i forgot the way i feel
******************************
do we just love misery
or plainly hate ourselves so,
some things in our mind
we just wont let go
maybe they are the meaning of our existence
maybe its just our insistence
whatever they may be,
this i think is true
we are all
fools by our own virtue.
*******************************

Another one i wrote for a friend of mine long time back ...

i ll be the ocean ...
i ll walk with you ...
with my gentle waves just lapping at your feet...
and just when you expect the least...
my tides will take you away ...
away from the world... away to me....

Search and thou shalt find it
