Most vela thing I do with high-end apps..

Ever thought why you need a scientific calculator to add (6+4)*37? ;)

I did the other day when I was using Excel for something so vela. Though the above and what I did with Excel don't fall in the same league, we seem to have gotten so used to having high-end apps and hi-tech toys doing all our work for us, that we automatically start using them for all kinds of useless things;)

It hit me when I was trying to capture our team vote for most popular cuisine so we could go for our team lunch and get on with it;) I had to capture all votes, 3 cuisine preferences, and I prompty used Excel to calculate and see which cuisine won, so we could decide on what place to go to. Our meetings last hours otherwise trying to figure which pace to go and eat;)

Right now I can't think of anything else on the spur, but I am sure I did more such vela things with tech tools/toys. Will keep adding to this post.

you are stupid u know that...

A while ago I was sitting in a meeting with my laptop lid forced down. I HAD to listen to what was going on in the meeting. So anyway, at the end of the meeting, Gmail told me this:

I recently changed my blog comments as being "moderated"- essentially it means, I will have to approve any comment before it gets posted on my blog. I had to do this after some really smart people (unlike ones like me, of course) started leaving comments on my posts which were sooooo relevant and directly connected to the blog-posts that I can't begin to describe it.

So anyway, I saw this comment and I was like, uh oh! I should delete this comment. Then, coming as I was, just out of a meeting, my mind was still in the "think out of the box" mode, and I said, no, wait, what would a person intend by leaving such a comment? What would prompt someone to show such intelligence and be even smarter by not leaving their name...hmm...what....just what? (Ohh come on duh! )

Then I was like, maybe I should not delete it, after all. Maybe I should write about it. Yes, that is it. I should write about it:) Here is a comment that shows clearly, beyond doubt, that this person can accurately assess what I know about myself and what I don't. And how many possess this remarkable talent? Such flair is indeed rare to be seen. I should respect the intelligence flowing here, and I most definitely do. So here is my blog-post solely dedicated to singing the praises of this unprecedented and never-before-seen talent. Amen!

[All the possible pun intended]

And such keenness of mind should not be lost on the world, so you can see this comment here....

Why AR should be DIL to senior-AB

Too many acronyms? Well, its late and I am still at work, so what do you expect?:D

Anyway, I try to keep my blog strictly a-political but it doesn't exclude Bollywood, so I can write as much as I want about latest and greatest gossips et al. I just realized it, so here is a good one to start off with.

Why should Aishwarya Rai be Daughter-In-Law to Amitabh Bachchan. Forget Abhishek, he plays little role here other than that I prefer him any day to the other actors in Bollywood;)

To begin with, I like both Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek. I liked him in Refugee itself, see I have this talent to recognize other talents;) When everyone wrote him down, I said, I like him, he will shine someday:) He is too over-shadowed by his Dad's legacy right now. And he shone slowly but steadily:D

Then I like Aishwarya too. Not necessarily as an actress but in general for her drop-dead looks. Subhash hates her;) But I like her and I maintain it :D

But the topic here is not about Abhishek marrying Aishwarya (I am glad about it, believe me) but about Aishwarya being the right daughter-in-law for senior AB.

I have only two coincidences to think of. Audience can help add to these;)

1) Both have their wax models in Madame Tussuad's :D
2) AB senior's Dad was Harivansh Rai Bachchan, and now will have a daughter-in-law, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan:D

What excellent coincidences, enough reasons for them to marry any day;)
