The Buzz & Beyond

Once live an old man who had difficulty with his vision. He visited a doctor who told him that his eyes need replacement. The old man refused and replied, "Doctor, i have a wife, 4 sons and 4 daughters-in-law. So this put together 9 pairs of eyes. When i have 9 such pairs why should i replace my eyes?" The doctor obliged. This went on well till one day suddenly their house caught fire. All those with eyes who could see the fire escaped. As per the nature of law, they tried to protect themselves first. However, by the time the old man realized that his house is under fire, the fire has spread all over. All those who came out now screamed stating that their beloved old man is still inside and some one has to help him out. But none had the guts to enter the house with fire and save him. The old man in search of a door, ran from one place to another but got hit against the walls. Alas! he died. This shows that only eyes of your own will come to your rescue whenever there is an em...

There was a rich merchant who had 4 wives. He loved the 4th wife the most. He adorned her with rich robes and treated her to delicacies. He also loved the 3rd wife very much. He's very proud of her and always wanted to show her off to his friends. However, the merchant is always in great fear that she might run away with some other men. He loved his 2nd wife too. She is a very considerate person, always patient and in fact is the merchant's confidante. Whenever the merchant faced some problems, he always turned to his 2nd wife and she would always help him out and tide him through difficult times. Now, the merchant's 1st wife is a very loyal partner and has made great contributions in maintaining his wealth and business as well as taking care of the household. However, the merchant did not love the first wife and although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her. One day, the merchant fell ill. Before long, he knew that he was about to die soon. He thought of his ...

I decided to go to Mahabaleshwar during these deepavali holidays, this time. Visiting an hill-station always brings a worse feel of déjà vu, as the uphill / downhill roads, the pathways, the lush-green mountains, lake with boating, riding on a horse’s back – all seems to be similar. I knew one cannot escape these in a hill-station. I doubt, can there be a hill-station without all these mentioned here. Initially, I thought I would be taking rest in the chill climate in a hill-station that too during Deepavali holidays and planned for a 3-day-rest. However, what happened to otherwise. I never felt the chillness in Mahabaleshwar though it was November in a hill station. The place was warm enough and I had a tough time climbing up hill roads (though I walked a little). The taxi association had fixed rate for stipulated places of visit which I feel is exorbitant fares. The place, Panchganga (five rivers converge in a single spot) is a place worth-seeing. All these five rivers join in a si...

I am unable to access my blogpage. what happened to it? did someone hack it? btw what is hacking? how to do it? can someone explain?

It is a history now that India has won the 20-20 championship. When cricket is slowly transforming into baseball, winning in such sports makes one wonder whether we are the champions of cricket or baseball or golf (this is because, nowadays cricketing strokes are similar to the strokes of baseball or golf). As usual, the entire country is reacting or rather over-reacting to this incident. The winning team was received with much fervor and they will go on a victory lap from airport to Wankhade stadium in an open bus. State Governments after state governments are declaring a bonus amount of Rs 5 lakhs per player for this feat! Maharashtra Government has gone overboard to announce Rs 10 lakhs to the players while their farmers are dying out of starvation! One TV channel went on criticizing mr. Narendra Modi who kept cool and did not announce any such bonus to the cricket players. I may not be surprised if Modi subjecting to such pressures might declare bonus (may be more than any State). ...

At last, the Indians have won the first T20 World Cup tournament in a cliff-hanger thriller finish. Or one can say, the team of 2020 has born. Whether ex-President Kalam’s visionary 2020 India is made or not, but India is capable of building a team for 20-20 at the least! Now, for another 48 hours, no news is too big for our entire media channels that will cover nothing but the historic (?) win of India in 20-20 World Cup. Even the news of Rahul Gandhi becoming the general secretary of INC (though it is a known fact and was only a matter of time) has taken a back seat. The media even covered the Kabirkhan aka shahrukh Khan congratulating the winning Indian team (dont ask what did SRK do to Indian cricket team) Nothing succeeds like Success! This is proven in this episode. A man, who was questioned of his wicket-keeping skills or lack of it and was supposed to be dropped from the team, is turned into a sudden hero. He has become wisdom of cricket, leader of future and everybody says n...

T 20 or twenty-twenty is the buzzword that keeps the cricket fans all around the world hooked onto. From a long, tiring, (or sometimes boring) 5 day affair this game has taken changes - sometimes accidentally and at times forcefully into a faster game. Efforts are on as to give a facelift to this game as good as soccer or hockey. The game is fast and so is the result. Cricket has started taking leaves out of the others books as to make it attractive and entertaining. “Ball-out” is one feature similar to the penalty stroke and so is the “free-hit” concept. I vaguely remember that 24 years back a tournament (named as Double-wicket tournament with each side having only 2 players and common fielders) was held with similar rules in Chennai Chidambaram Stadium. L Siva was spotted there as a good fielder and Robin Singh was spotted as another Kapil dev (however he entered the national side much later, courtesy politics, is another story). With newer rules, cricket seems to be attractive and o...

It is almost 10 days now that the Ram-Setu project has stolen the limelight. Every channel, every newspaper and every website covered this subject in full details. There were discussions between the so called learned men, rationalists and religious personnel. The public memory is too short and in another week’s time, all of us would forget this and would be discussing something more sensational. When the whole world is into this, why should I lag behind? Let me also blog on this but would like to be different. Science and Faith are two extreme poles. In fact I had already blogged regarding this subject – or just reproduced the conversation between Albert Einstein and his professor. http://ngkjrs.blogspot.com/2007/09/is-god-dead.html The argument between Science and Faith has no end to it. Science says that nothing is true unless it is proven by experiment or you can say to disprove what other claim! However, the irony is, almost all the scientific statement are re-written. What accept...

According to the injunctions of the revealed texts, the first birth of an Aryan is from his natural mother, the second (happens) on the tying of the girdle of Munja grass, and the third on the initiation to (the performance of) a (Srauta) sacrifice. II.169 (Now a days a thread replaced this Munja grass - Darbai is another story) Among those (three) the birth which is symbolised by the investiture with the girdle of Munja grass, is his birth for the sake of the Veda; they declare that in that (birth) the Savitri (Goddess of knowledge) is his mother and the teacher is his father. II.170 They call the teacher (the pupil’s) father because he gives the Veda (knowledge); for no body can perform a sacred rite before the investiture with the girdle of Munja grass. II.170 He who has not been initiated should not pronounce any Vedic text excepting those required for the performance of funeral rites, since he is on a level with a Sudra (meaning unlearned) before his birth from the Veda. II.172 Th...

I am just reproducing an argument Albert Einstein had with his Professor on the above subjectThis story was in circulation since long in internet. I am just reproducing that. The professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, The Almighty. He asks one of his new students to stand and..... Prof: So you believe in God? Student: Absolutely, sir. Prof: Is God good? Student: Sure. Prof: Is God all-powerful? Student: Yes. Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm? (Student is silent.) Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. Is God good? Student: Yes. Prof: Is Satan good? Student: No. Prof: Where does Satan come from? Student: From...God... Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world? Student: Yes. Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correc...

This has come several rounds in the internet. Still, as the memory of the public is very short, i felt it sharing after a decent gap. So the public speech of Dr. APJ Kalam goes..... I have three visions for India. In 3000 years of our history people from all over the world have come and invaded us, captured our lands, conquered our minds. From Alexander onwards, the Greeks, the Turks, the Moguls, the Portuguese, the British, the French, the Dutch, all of them came and looted us, took over what was ours. Yet we have not done this to any other nation. We have not conquered anyone. We have not grabbed their land, their culture, and their history and tried to enforce our way of life on them. Why? because we respect the freedom of others. That is why my first vision is that of FREEDOM. I believe that India got its first vision of this in 1857, when we started the war of independence. It is this freedom that we must protect and nurture and build on. If we are not free, no one will respect u...

The greatest gift nature has bestowed on us is "self-awareness" – the ability to know what is happening in us at any given point of time! This faculty of knowing oneself is not given to plants and animals and hence they do not know that they exist. Obviously they can not modify their way of life or behavior at their will. This explains why the plants and animals are as they are for many millions of year. The concept of evolution and civilization doest and can not exist in their kingdom! This faculty when used can help to bring dramatic changes in ones behavior at will. Every human being is unique in their own way and that is the plan of the nature! What we are today is the result of various conditioning that happened right from the day we came into this planet. The parents teachers , society and religion are the mediums through which we have been conditioned. The beliefs and values ultimately guide us as the light house. Some of the conditionings are good and some of them are...

A few years ago, at the Seattle Special Olympics, nine contestants, all physically or mentally disabled, assembled at the starting line for the 100-yard dash. At the gun, they all started out, not exactly in a dash, but with a relish to run the race to the finish and win. All, that is, except one little boy who stumbled on the asphalt, tumbled over a couple of times, and began to cry. The other eight heard the boy cry. They slowed down and looked back. Then they all turned around and every one of them went back. One girl with Down's syndrome bent down and kissed him and said, "This will make it better." Then all nine linked arms and walked together to the finish line. Everyone in the stadium stood, the cheering went on for several minutes. People who were there are still telling the Story,,,. Why? Because deep down we know this one thing: What matters in this life is more than winning for us. What matters in this life is helping others win, even if it means slo...

In the mid’90s Daniel Goleman started talking EQ or emotional quotient. Danah Zoher and Ian Marshal in their recent work SQ: connecting with our spiritual intelligence observes, “While computers have IQ and animals can have EQ, it is essentially an SQ that sets human being apart. Therefore, ‘the wheel of life’ to roll smoothly, all the spokes of the wheel –IQ, EQ, SQ represents moving from gross to subtle, infinite to finite and from tangible to intangible. SQ has several dimensions: Compassion, wholeness, self-esteem, gratitude, spirit of surrender, service and the ego. Handling the ego is one of the critical dimensions of enhancing SQ. Ego issues, if not handled with care, can create problems in our personal, social and professional lives. Hence for better relationships, it is very important to understand and handle the ego - both of self and others. Ego stems from our bundle of memories. It gets further reinforced when we repeatedly embrace a particular thought for extended period ...

Karan and Arjun were woodcutters working in a forest. Both were under a contract in which they were paid a lump sum amount for the period of 1 year for felling trees. During the time of contract renewal, Arjun was paid an increment of 12% as his fees and Karan was given an increment of only 5%. Karan went to the boss and questioned this. The boss replied, "I agree. In the initial days, both of you used to fell 3-4 trees a day. Slowly you could fell only 2 trees and Arjun still continues to fell 3-4 trees." Karan was furious and went out. He went with vigor and started felling trees however; he could not fell more than 2. He was surprised. How is that I cannot fell more than 2 while Arjun does. In fact he even takes breaks during the day while I do not. He went to Arjun and asked the reason. Arjun replied, "Yes. I do take breaks but during the breaks, I used to sharpen my axe! That’s why I could still fell 3-4 trees. When was the last time you sharpened your axe?" M...

Once a successful Business tycoon was answering a press-conference on his success. One of the young journalists asked enthusiastically, "Sir, what is the secret of your success?" The businessman replied, "I took right decisions on right time" The journalist not satisfied with the answer asked, "How is that you took right decisions at right time?" The business man answered, "This comes by experience!" The journalist not to be outdone asked, "how did you gain that?" The businessman replied, "By taking wrong decisions at wrong time!" Making mistakes is common. One who learns from the mistakes (not to repeat them) become successful. Learning is Experience!

It was the final year in an MBA school and the professor gave the students a pop quiz. All of the students were conscientious and had breezed through the questions, until they read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?" Surely this was some kind of joke. All of the students had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would they knew her name? Almost all of the students handed in their paper, leaving the last question blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade. "Absolutely," said the professor. "In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say hello'. Respect each and every individual" This is an important lesson for those who aspire to be on the top post of an organization!

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two "wolves" inside us all.. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego". "The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." The grand son thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?" The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

Rule 1: The Boss is always right. Rule 2: If the Boss is wrong, see rule 1. Rule 3: Those who work get more work. Others get pay, perks & promotions. Rule 4: Ph.D stands for “Pull him down”. The more intelligent a person, the more hardworking a person, the more committed a person; the more number of persons engaged in pulling that person down. Rule 5: If you are good, you will get all the work. If you are really good, you will get out of it. Rule 6: When the Bosses talk about improving productivity, they are never talking about themselves. Rule 7: It doesn’t matter what you do, it only matters what you say you’ve done and what you are going to do. Rule 8: A pat on the back is only few centimeters from the kick in the butt. Rule 9: Don’t be irreplaceable. If you can’t be replaced, you can’t be promoted. Rule 10: The more crap you put up with, the more crap you are going to get. Rule 11: If at first you don’t succeed, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it...

The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and laying up supplies for the winter. The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away. Come winter, the Ant is warm and well fed. The Grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in the cold. We all are aware of this old Story and the moral of "Think in advance and plan your life" Now goes the modern version.... The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and laying up supplies for the winter. The Grasshopper thinks the Ant's a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away. Come winter, the shivering Grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the Ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving. NDTV, Star News, Aajtak, Tej, Headlines, show up to provide pictures of the shivering Grasshopper next to a video of the Ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with...

December 13th. Five years ago on this same date, India was shook by the news and the so-called leaders of the country were trembling in fear that they skipped their beats, sleeps for a week's time. I hope all of you would have got the idea on which this blog is being discussed. There was an attempted attack on the Parliament House of India that was thwarted by genuine soldiers of India who gave their lives and saved the so-called leaders of the country who were inside. After 5 years, if one has to say that politicians have done something in this regard, then it must be - "Cook politics". This is what precisely is being done. All the soldiers were given posthumus awards. Leader after leader shed their tears, eloborated in eloquence about the sacrifice made by the soldiers, sang hymns and went by. THat's it! We can expect only these and not more than these from them. Today, the Government is more concerned about the culprit who was sentenced to death by the Supreme Cour...

Spiritual quotient is the buzz word of the modern day management. No doubt Indian gurus mint money all over the world spreading the spiritual management to the corporates and also doing yeomen service. Yoga, Pranayama, Meditation and list goes on and on. Newspapers, magazines, websites invariably all of them carry pages of reports on teh benefits of these to common people. More so, the bigger corporates insists on practicing this and are getting benefited in this. "why dont you try it! its amazing!" my pal shared. I never dared to ask him whether had he tried it or not for what would he think about me! Perhpas this may be worth trying and i am a novice who is unaware of what meditation is let alone its benefits. I have seen my boss used to go on a meditation spree after his lunch for 30 minutes in his cabin and we are not supposed to disturb him. My neighbor also persuaded me to join him in meditation. till then i never knew that meditation could be done in a joint venture. I...

This is not my workpiece but worth a reading. When you were 8 years old, your dad handed you an ice cream. You thanked him by dripping it all over your lap. When you were 10 years old, he paid for music lessons. You thanked him by never even bothering to practice. When you were 13, he suggested a haircut that was becoming. You thanked him by telling him he had no taste. When you were 15 years old, he warned you not to watch certain TV shows. You thanked him by waiting until he left the house. When you were 17, he taught you how to drive his car. You thanked him by taking it every chance you could. When you were 18, he was expecting an important call. You thanked him by being on the phone all night. When you were 19, he paid for your college tuition, drove you to campus, carried your bags. You thanked him by saying good-bye outside the dorm so you wouldn't be embarrassed in front of your friends. When you were 50, he fell ill and needed you to take care of him. You thanked him by re...

It is one of the biggest issues faced by the entire world; Much is discussed about this topic. Invariably all magazines, NGOs, news channels devote some time or pages to cover this subject. I really used to wonder many a times that whether eradicating child labor is possible in India? How far this could be achieved? Would this really do good or harm to the Indian Economy? i am not an expert to give comments on these but i can submit my views (my frank opinion and it may differ from person to person) All these institutions suggest one thing that provide them primary education. I do agree that they have their own right to be educated. I just can’t imagine the amount of the problems faced by families under the poverty line. Are the parents not interested in getting their kids educated? then why they have to depute their kids to earn money by doing some job or other. While we talk all rosy pictures, we fail to see the reality of those people who suffer from the poverty. Can any one assure...

It is not an exaggerated statement if someone said that the Indian News channels provide more masala than these soaps. It has got every ingredient of an typical Indian film in its coverage and many a times they even better Indian masalas. As usual that evening I was surfing the Indian news channels and stopped (rather shocked to stop) at one channel that ran a documentary(?) titled "mere papa to fansi do" The news was pathetic one that the father sexually absued his own daughter (that too in front of her mother) and also had sexual relations with other girls in front of his daughter and wife. What a pervert he could have been? This news does not worth a coverage of 30 minutes. But these news channels kept on showing the photographs of the father with other girls and interviewed the daughter. The small girl unknowing of what some people (in the name of the news) are making money and fun out their story, kept on telling what she was taught. I am not saying what the father did w...

A timeless lesson on how consultants can make a difference for an organization... Last week, we took some friends out to a new restaurant, and noticed that the waiter who took our order carried a spoon in his shirt pocket. It seemed a little strange, but I ignored it. However, when the busboy brought out water and utensils, I noticed he also had a spoon in his shirt pocket, then looked around the room and saw that all the staff had spoons in their pockets. When the waiter came back to serve our soup I asked, "Why the spoon?" "Well," he explained, "the restaurant's owners hired Anderson Consulting, experts in efficiency, in order to revamp all our processes. After several months of statistical analysis, they concluded that customers drop their spoons 73.84 percent more often than any other utensil. This represents a drop frequency of approximately 3 spoons per table per hour. If our personnel is prepared to deal with that contingency, we can reduce the numb...

Between 18 and 20 a woman is like Africa, half discovered, half wild, naturally beautiful with fertile deltas. Between 21 and 30 a woman is like America, well developed and open to trade - especially for someone with cash. Between 31 and 35 she is like India, very hot, relaxed and convinced of her own beauty. Between 36 and 40 a woman is like France. Gently aging but still a warm and desirable place to visit. Between 41 and 50 she is like Yugoslavia, lost the war - haunted by past mistakes. Massive reconstruction is now necessary. Between 51 and 60, she is like Russia, very wide and borders are unpatrolled. The frigid climate keeps people away. Between 61 and 70, a woman is like Mongolia, with a glorious and all conquering past but alas, no future. After 70, they become like Afghanistan. Most everyone knows where it is, but no one wants to go there. Geography of a Man: Between 15 and 70 a man is like Iraq - ruled by a dick!

1. Count to 10, slowly 2. Take deep breaths and repeat ... relax, relax 3. Walk away 4. Change your thoughts from negative to what can I learn from the experience 5.
