Some guy bought a new fridge for his house.
To get rid of his old fridge, he put it in his front yard and hung asign on it saying: ‘Free to good home. You want it, you take it.’
For three days the fridge sat there without anyone looking twice.
He eventually decided that people were too mistrustful of this deal.
So he changed the sign to read: ‘Fridge for sale $50.’
The next day someone stole it!
India is a Land of diverse cultures based on Religion & Linguist… Though my Ideology favors my religion I look at the greater interest of my country… I’m not in favor of suppressing any religion nor be suppressed… But I was surprised to see someone in my age group who was Ideologically connected to my mother tongue…
Though he was cool & composed in argument unlike me… He was very strong in his belief… He has put his country behind his ideology… Though I was disturbed by that attitude it gave me more insights about effects of polarization done by some fringe elements…
Being a Tamalian I just pitied the case of Sri Lankan tamils and I assumed that was a micro affair because the loss of LTTE disn’t create a big impact on us… Also I was happy that there was no big issue created by Muslims when the Babri verdict was given…
I thought we have become mature as a country in spite of differences we have… But when someone close to me who wants to Leave this country because it is not doing anything to his men… He went to the fact telling he was willing to be a 3rd rated citizen in a foreign country than here…
His concerns are;
My only answer is I was never been treated like a 2nd class citizen by this country… Our home minister is a Tamilian… Infact for more than 2 decade Tamil Nadu had major chunk of portfolio in the Central Governments… Sri Lankan issue or Tamil Fisherman issue is not handled well must be accepted… But we must remember we have greater say in the central cabinet(DMK)… So, the truth is fellow are corrupt and they are not working for the cause of our brothers… If we ourselves ignore the cause of our own people tamilians… It is not reasonable blaming someone who is not linked to us in terms of language…
Though I was not convinced by my friends argument… He was not in a mindset of accept mine either… So, we decided to stop this without any conclusion…
Moral: Changing ones ideology is a difficult task or it is impossible…
Corruption in India for last 2 decades if around 80 Lakh Crore… Though the list includes Private scams too we have to blame the government for the lapses to control those scams… Here is the list of scams…
In recent times I’m approached by lots of youngsters who have zeal for entrepreneurship… They have wonderful ideas and some even have good execution plan… But what is common with all the folks is the dreaded word “Fear of Failure”… They approach me asking me to help them in execution… In simple terms it is their idea where is I’ve to;
What all I can get in return is their support from outside… Meaning they wont quit their job & they will keep giving their thoughts… They quit and join me when everything is set and company comes to a comfortable position…
In simple words they want some third person to take the risk and they will share the benefits once the project is a success… If it fails they don’t have anything to loose other than some time they spend on meetings & fringe jobs they do…
The reasons they have for not quitting their job immediately is;
For all those gentleman I’ve a simple answer… I’m not stupid… If your Fear Supersedes your Passion it your problem… I’ve no obligation to baby sit you for your success…
All I can tell is you are not an entrepreneur material because you don’t have traits such as;
Finally I’m sure you can’t become an entrepreneur until you change your attitude…
This time I’ve never written or blogged about new year resolution owing to my previous year track record(Yes, i never succeeded in any one of the resolutions)… But something I wanted to do this year is to control my expense… I started believing in the concept Money Saved is Money Earned…
So, I decided to settle for freebie’s, discounts & get out with friends only when they Dutch… After that resolution I went out with friends to Mahabalipuram & to the movie Dhobi Ghat on 26th… After a long time or for the first time I’ve been outing with friends where expenses were dutch’ed…
It was a travel of 100 KM in a day, with lunch in a hotel, a movie & dinner… Overall my share of expense was less than Rs.300… Never in my life I’ve come home by spending just 300 bucks by enjoying an entire day…
So, my dear friends hence forth be prepared to take me out only when you are ready to share the expense…
This is the latest in medicine, effective for cancer!
Lemon (Citrus) is a miraculous product to kill cancer cells. It is 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy.
Why do we not know about that?
Because there are laboratories interested in making a synthetic version that will bring them huge profits. You can now help a friend in need by letting him/her know that lemon juice is beneficial in preventing the disease. Its taste is pleasant and it does not produce the horrific effects of chemotherapy.
How many people will die while this closely guarded secret is kept, so as not to jeopardize the beneficial multimillionaires large corporations?
As you know, the lemon tree is known for its varieties of lemons and limes. You can eat the fruit in different ways: you can eat the pulp, juice press, prepare drinks, sorbets, pastries, etc.
It is credited with many virtues, but the most interesting is the effect it produces on cysts and tumors. This plant is a proven remedy against cancers of all types. Some say it is very useful in all variants of cancer. It is considered also as an anti microbial spectrum against bacterial infections and fungi, effective against internal parasites and worms, it regulates blood pressure which is too high and an antidepressant, combats stress and nervous disorders.
The source of this information is fascinating: it comes from one of the largest drug manufacturers in the world, says that after more than 20 laboratory tests since 1970, the extracts revealed that: It destroys the malignant cells in 12 cancers, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreas.
The compounds of this tree showed 10,000 times better than the product Adriamycin, a drug normally used chemotherapeutic in the world, slowing the growth of cancer cells. And what is even more astonishing: this type of therapy with lemon extract only destroys malignant cancer cells and it does not affect healthy cells.
Groupon has changed the way we shop on the net and it has created a platform which benefits the vendor & the buyer… For thouse who have no idea about the concept here is how it works;
Groupon.com is a site where in a vendor can display his product or service for a massive discount on a commitment of getting specific number of purchase.
Example if I’m a Vendor selling Jeans… I post a discount of X percentage (most cases it is more than 80%… I commit for that percentage of discount if 100 people commit to buy the product… Deal succeeds if number of people reach 100 else it gets cancelled…
Also there are some vendors who give massive discounts even if there is no minimum guarantee of purchase…
Since I run a Web Development company I got lots of request to develop a site similar to Groupon… I’ve been waiting for a long time to get something similar in India… Also I was following couple of sites based on Groupon concept… For last two months this wave has caught up in India… Following are the sites which I’m aware of;
Latest sensation among those 3 sites is Sosasta.Com which is acquired by Groupon.com for $10 million… But SnapDeal.Com must be the market leader because he updates atleast 2 new deals per day for almost all major cities… This month I’ve purchased 4 deals & I’m happy about the the deal I got from Big Brands…
I’m very much thrilled for getting such massive discounts and I’m expecting more such offers in days to come…
After trying Aircel & Airtel until 2004 I settled for Hutch (now Vodafine)… It all started with minor issues with Hutch & after then it has been a smooth ride… After sorting those issues I’ve only become comfortable and addict to this brand…
I keep hearing issues about Airtel & Aircel from my friends related to Billing, Signal Problem, Poor Customer service etc… I’ve never worried about anything else… If I was genuine in paying my bills promptly I’m given best of the service…
Now Mobile Number Portability getting introduced today a lot of my friends asked if I’ll try with some other operator… Though I’m happy that MNP is going to keep Mobile Operators on their toe’s… I’m not planning to shift because I’m sure Vodafone is only going to improve its standards compared to other operators… Infact I’m happy that I can bring all my employees under Vodafone CUG…
For now I’m following Vodafone…
