Girls in my life!!


These are the girls who came in my life till date. They have moved forward in their life but I’m not. So for now let me list those girls and tell you what attracted the most;

Juhi-ChawlaJuhi Chawla: I think she is the first babe I started to admire once I reached my adulthood. I was (I think still I’m) a die-hard fan of her and I use to watch all her movies in the 90’s. I can remember the days where I had internet connection from VSNL which was shell based. I use to download her stills and can view those images only after downloading as there was no GUI with shell account. She really dazzled in mid 90’s.

Raveena Tandon: I’ve soo much attraction towards her that I’ve asked my mom to look raveena_tandonfor a bride like her. Her Cheez Badiyae Mast Mast in Mohra still stays in my eyes. In my early days of internet browsing I spend maximum time downloading her stills. Late 90’s and early 2000 I spent a lot of time dreaming about her while studying, sleeping and driving. If I’ve a daughter for sure she will be named after this babe.

urmila_mandotkarUrmila Matondkar: After the release of Rangeela two things happened one is A.R.Rehman’s entry into Bollyhood and the next one is Urmila wave all over India. I’m one person who fell for this babe. She is not only known for her beauty but also for her acting skills. If anyone has to see her best one you must watch Ek Haseena Thi. Again she shared some moment along with Raveena :P.

Drew Barrymore: I must say my love for her started while I was five or six years old. That drew_barrymoreis when I watched the movie the movie Extra Terrestrial. The next time I saw her was in the movie Charles Angels and I fell for this lovely cheek. The last movie I saw her was He is Just not In it for You bur she lost her charm in that movie anyways this babe too has a special place in my heart for ever.

priyanka_chopraPriyanka Chopra: I didn’t get attracted to her when she won neither Miss.World title nor when she acted in her first movie Tamilan. I first got attracted to this babe after watching the movie Mujse Shaadhi Karogi and Salaam-e-Ishq. Fashion made a strong mark in me to fall for her. Now-a-days she finds more time in my dreams.

Nicole Scherzinger: I heard she has ventured into movies but I can’t think of a day where nicole-scherzingerI’ve never thought about this babe for a moment. I got my first enemy in my life because of her. Once I came to know she is dating F1 star Lewis Hamilton I started spending more time in Karting and improving my skills to compete with Lewis one day. Normally I never buy videos of albums. But when it comes to this babe I’ve brought all her albums with videos. I have no words to describe about this babe. For now let me take a deep breathe and move to next one.

tanisha-mukherjeeTanisha Mukerjee: She might have not clicked that much in movies but after seeing Unnaalae Unnaalae & Sarkar Raj I got attracted for her sweet mannerisms and child like acting. Her vibes are soo powerful soo much so that it makes me so fresh after seeing her. If at all I want to marry someone I’d like them to have her mannerism.

Liv Tyler: I came to know about this babe only a week back after watching the movie The liv_tylerStrangers. In the review I wrote in my blog I said only that that justified for time & money spent was Liv. She really sizzles and I think she has found a new place in my heart. It is time to collect more pictures of her and watch more movies of her.

Tamana_bhatiaTamanna Bhatia: She is the latest one in the list and I dream about her a lot now-a-days. Again I didn’t like her from the beginning. I got attracted only after watching the movie Ayan where she sizzles. I’m sure this babe is going to come a full round in the Kollywood and Tollyhood. Till then let me wait for her :P.

Sameera Reddy: No words to talk about this girl. All i can say is she is simply HOT. She really sizzled in Varanam Ayiram & sameera_reddyMusafir and currently if there is someone whom I wanted to get married other than Raveena is Sameera. I know marrying her is a distant dream but no one can stop me from thinking :). Again if don’t get married to her I wish I have two daughters to name them Raveena & Sameera. At present my notebook and mobile if filler with her wallpaper and screensaver. If Sameera reads this blog some day or some time I wish she contacts me and that would be the day in my life. Ok now let me stop here and start dreaming.

KPN Travels & Disappointments


I’ve been travelling through KPN Travels from my teens say for last 13 – 14 years. There were days where we strive to travel in KPN for itz service. But off late it is sad to see itz service detonating as it become a Big name. I personally faced a lot of problems with them and last week when my colleague Mr.Ramanan had a very bad experience which I faced 6 months back. I thought it was high time to bring things to Light.

 Let me start it from problems I faced.

Personal Experience One: Six months back I booked a ticket in KPN from Madurai – Chennai. I reached the boarding point 20 min before bus arrived and I got the boarding pass immediately. Then I was asked to sit on the waiting area and they said they will call me once the Bus arrives. Since it has been an hour I went to them asking if the bus has arrived and to my shock they said bus has already left and they blamed me for not checking with them regularly. Also when I requested a refund they denied it nor did they say they can make alternate arrangement because it was the last bus. I didn’t want to create any problem because I thought I must take part of the blame for not checking with them regularly.

Personal Experience Two: Five months back (during January) I was travelling in KPN from Chennai – Madurai… They driver of the bus must have kept the A/C so much cold that no was able to sleep and every one wanted to Piss because of the A/C. We all insisted the driver to reduce the A/C but it fell into his deaf hears. Then later we all asked him to have a pit-stop which was also not considered. Over a point our anger was downgraded and we started begging with the driver as we were unable to bare the cold. The driver real psychopath took all of us to Madurai with great despair. I thought of escalating it and ignored it because I didn’t want to mess with the livelihood of a driver.

Personal Experience Three: Four months back again I was travelling in KPN from Chennai – Madurai and after travelling an hour from Chennai I want to PISS badly. I requested the Driver stop for a moment. He denied my request telling if he did so many others will request the same. Finally he stopped at the pit-stop point which took another 2 hours. Again I left it because I didn’t want to complain about this to anyone because I thought there is some mistake on my part.

Ramanan’s Experience: Last week after Startup City Event was done me & bala dropped Ramanan in Bhommanahalli by around 9 PM and he got his boarding slip by 9 o clock itself. Ramanan’s bus was scheduled at 11 o clock… Ramanan said he was checking every 15 min from 10.45 PM onwards and it seems he was told bus was late. Then finally there was a bus which came by 11.30 PM and when Ramanan asked if that was his bus he was told that was not his bus. But eventually that was the bus he should have boarded.

Again by 12 o clock when Ramanan approached them about the bus. He was told the bus already left and the person who was dealing with him went into hiding. Again he was not offered a refund. But he some how managed to convince them and he was sent in by 1 o clock special bus in a seat that is next to Drivers seat. He resisted traveling in that seat. They said there is nothing they can do if he can’t sit there. Eventually he had to travel sitting there and travel with great discomfort.

It is very much sad to see a company which was known for itz service levels and for the way they scaled in 15 years to come down so drastically in service levels. I don’t know if they have taken success for granted? Anyways on all occasions we were in receiving end and unable to do anything. Atleast by writing this blog let me get contented that I’m passing this to 100’s of people and make a small effort to show my protest.

Raising capital for Cogzidel


For last 2 months we are working on raising capital for expansion and to provide 360 degree web solutions. We presented our Business Plan to many VC’s the common reply we got was our Business Model was fragmented and VC’s never invest in fragmented business even if it is promising.

We were advised by them to go for Angels or Private Equity investors. So now we are looking for Angels or PE’s. So, if anyone of you or your friends are looking to invest in some company kindly ping me we will present our business plan.

My Tattoo Experience


tattooFor long I wanted to tattoo and the dream got realized last week when I went to Garuda Mall. I had a temporary tattoo painted my star sign Pisces in my right hand and after 3 days I tattooed a sea horse at Forum Mall.

 

It took only 2 – 3 min of time to get it sprayed but there was difference in pricing at Garuda Mall we were charged only Rs.40/- where as in Forum Mall I was charged Rs.80/- almost double for the same.

 

After I got tattooed I was given a small slip which had Tattoo Care instructions.

 

  • Do not rub tattoo when wet.
  • Do not apply soap, creams on tattoo.
  • Only pat with towel after bath. Do not scrud it off.
  • May last only for 2 – 3 days for oily skin types.
  • Dab with powder after bath to increase life.
  • To remove tattoo use baby oil.
  • Tattoo is extremely oil sensitive.

 

Yesterday I went to Bella Ciao restaurant in Kottivakkam Beach, Chennai for dinner. I found a stall for tattooing but the stall was closed. I might go there by evening and get a new tattoo in my hands. For a person who needs to get tattooed can contact Garuda Mall & Forum Mall folks in this number

 

Garuda Mall – +91.9900807317

Forum Mall – +91.9448454625

Alliance Portrait


Last Saturday I’ve been to StudioK to shoot for marriage profile. This was a long pending request and again my laziness prolonged this simple request for more than a year and after cancelling the appointment for 5 – 6 times finally I’ve done it.

 

I must really give credits to StudioK folks and I’ve never been thru such a professional way for shooting for photos.

 

Now my parents are happy and let me see if this turns up lucky to find my better half.

Warning about the implications of these products!!!


I got an email from my friend and not sure about the authenticity of these facts. But I wanted to share them under the assumption if they are true.

 

Mobile: Don’t put your mobile closer to your ears until the recipient answers, Because directly after dialing, the mobile phone would use it’s maximum signaling power, which is: 2watts = 33dbi. Please Be Careful. Please use left ear while using cell (mobile), because if you use the right one it may affect brain directly. This is a true fact from Apollo medical team.

 

Appy FIZZ: Do not drink APPY FIZZ. It contains cancer causing agent.

 

Mentos: Don’t eat Mentos before or after drinking Coke or Pepsi coz the person will die immediately as the mixture becomes cyanide.

 

Kurkure: Don’t eat kurkure because it contains high amount of plastic if U don’t Believe burn kurkure n u can see plastic melting.

 

Tablets: Avoid these tablets as they are very dangerous

 

  • D cold
  • Vicks action- 500
  • Actified
  • Coldarin
  • Co some
  • Nice
  • Nimulid
  • Cetrizet-D

 

They contain Phenyl- Propanol -Amide PPA. Which Causes strokes, and these tablets are banned in U.S.

 

Cotton Ear Buds: Please do not show sympathy to people selling buds on roadside or at Signals(In India). Just wanted to warn you people not to buy those packs of ear buds you get at the roadside. It’s made from cotton that has already been used in hospitals. They take all the dirt, blood and pus filled cotton, wash it, bleach it and use it to make ear buds. So, unless you want to become the first person in the world to get Herpes Zoster Oticus (a viral infection of the inner, middle, and external ear) of the ear and that too from a cotton bud, DON’T BUY THEM!.

First & Second Startup experience – a comparison


I had the opportunity to be a startup twice in my life. My first one started as early as a student and the second was with eight years of entrepreneurial experience. I just wanted to compare how it makes a difference and how I felt on both occasions. So here is a small comparison chart;

 

First Startup Experience

Second Startup Experience

 

 

Lack of experience, focus & investment.

More experience, focus & reasonable investment.

 

 

Trust levels are low among stake holders.

Trust levels are high among stake holders.

 

 

Company & Personal costs are low.

Company & Personal costs are High.

 

 

Fluctuations in motivation are High.

At times motivations levels fluctuates. But experience shows how to overcome it.

 

 

Fear of failure is less because there is not point to prove.

Fear of failure is high because people expectation is high because of past success.

 

 

Problem solving was poor.

Experience has improved problem solving skills.

 

Over all it is interesting to be a startup second time also I might think my piece of cake is being like a Serial Entrepreneur so that I always have the excitement of being a Startup. Anyway let me enjoy my second stint of being a startup and run the show until I loose my motivation.

Why I like Shinjuku Incident & hate The Strangers


I’m a movie buff and I see at least 3-4 movies a week but I never blog its reviews. In my Bangalore trip I watched two movies where in one movie really inspired me and the other one made me think I wasted my money. Which prompted me to make this post.

 

Why I like Shinjuku Incident

 

I was really inspired watching Shinjuku Incident.

 

Firstly I liked Jackie Chan portraying a role which is away from his image. The movie doesn’t have any heroics of Jackie and this role has really fit well for his age and he has done justice to the role where we can see maturity and experience. He has really shown class.

 

Secondly movie showcases how life changes and thinks that changes character of humans. In one scene Xu Jinglei says how things transform in human;

 

  • She will explain how human run for basic need which is food by telling her poverty ridden childhood.
  • Then how desire strikes a person where she gets a neighbor who has new cloths and gadgets which create a desire in earn those things / lifestyle.
  • Then how desire changes to desperation to earn the desire.
  • How man falls for power after gaining his desperation.
  • Finally how power creates ego and makes him cruel.

 

Over all I like over all aspects of the movie like Screenplay, Storyline & Jackie’s mature acting.

 

Why I hate The Strangers

 

I was pulled to this movie because of Liv Tyler. Other than that I can’t understand anything in the movie.

 

Let me start with good points in the movie. The movie has screen play and music which really horrifies audience. But we are not sure / understand the story.

 

The movie starts by Liv rejecting her boyfriend’s proposal to get married and they goto a lonely farm house on the hoods. There they are horrified by three Mask faced strangers. The strangers have many opportunities to kill the couples by they never do that instead they keep horrifying them fully.

 

Finally they capture the couples and kill them. In the climax two goto the house and find the dead couples and when they try to go near Liv she screams and the movie ends.

 

The audience leaves the movie without knowing?

 

  • Why The Strangers kill them.
  • How Liv doesn’t die even after being stabbed by knife.
  • Strangers face is not shown at all.

 

Over all I came out thinking why I wasted my money & time. Once consolation is Liv Tyler she looks gorgeous.
