Inside Out

As each day passes by, the more I believe very little is needed to make life happy. On most days while going to work Im sleepy, tired and in a crabby mood. The feeling intensifies as I near the office, so does the traffic. Hoards of cars with tired expressionless faces crawling inch by inch as if its a sign telling me not to go to work. We see what is inside of us.

And today yet again the randomness of life makes an appearance. The ipod was playing John Mayer - Half of my heart, as I was just looking outside the cab window, not conciously though. Was smiling to myself as I swayed my head from side to side enjoying the beats of the song. I was in a happy state.

On my left a guy in his car was also happily moving his head/neck back and forth pigeon like and hitting his fingers on steering wheel enjoying the music while waiting for the traffic to move. Il say again, We see what is inside of us.

Randomly he looks to the right. Eyes meet Eyes. Smile Meets Smile. Heads moving in rhythm. Traffic moves. Our cab drives off so does he with his car. My James Blunt Moment! "And I don't think that I'll see her again, But we shared a moment that will last till the end." And so I put it here, in an attempt to freeze it.

Nice to meet you, Stranger! :) Hope you had a nice day!

To whom it may concern

Starting today, all your crap will not be absorbed like a sponge or retaliated with anger or explained logically. I will simply choose to ignore now onwards. Going on 30, you need to learn few things now. For close to 1/5th of that I have known you and shouted hoarse to tell you the same things, you have never learnt. Now you need to learn your lesson the hard way from my silence now. Probably that will work and I hope it works.

Learn to keep your ego aside. You know it costs dearly.
Learn to say sorry.
Learn to control your angry rampage.
Learn to be sensitive to people around you.
Learn to be patient and calm.
Learn to control your extravagance with words and money.
Learn to have faith in yourself.
AND learn to yawn if you are sleepy :P

If you promise to do the above, I promise to hook you up with a nice girl!

My Name is Khan(t)!!

Hence proved!! SRK cant act anymore. Do not, Do not watch this movie!! Horrible! Absolute Drag! Desperate attempt by Karan Johar to move you emotionally. Kajol-SRK magic comes and goes with a flicker of the eye. Intolerably long! Unnecessarily hyped! Pathetic mixed up storyline! Save your time and money by not watching this one.

My Rating: 5 stars in black and that too bold!!

SRK better luck next time! And Amit, you will not be forgiven for making all of us go through this torture :P

10 things to say...

Situation:
With friends, Late evening, sitting and eating at a nice dimly lit restaurant in connaught place.A noisy bunch of people sat behind us and they obviously wanted to make something nice out of a friday evening just like us. Meanwhile, A girl walked upto K and compliments him for his smile and added that she had been noticing him for some time. Our otherwise streetsmart K could not think of anything to say, scratched his bushy stubble and replies with attitude - Huh! You are playing truth and dare! (Duh!! I know what a dumb and boring thing to say.)

Here's atleast 10 things what K could have said for a witty repartee to make it even more fun moment -

1) Is this a contest? Do I get a kiss for a prize? ;)
2) Thanks. But thats what you said last time too. :P
3) Sorry, Im gay. I was smiling at the guy with you. :P
4) Then how about a date? ;)
5) You want my dentist's num or mine? :D
6) You too. But sad that you're wearing much more than your smile. ;)
7) I have other nice things too. Wanna see? ;) ;)
8) Give me three good reasons for me to believe that! 8)
9) Im offended. How dare you say that! I have 'THE' nicest smile on earth. :x
10)Can you say that to my friend whose sitting next to me. He is really depressed. :P

But then they say, when women roll on, men stumble upon! SO K could not come up with a smart line. So next time you find yourself in K's shoes, you know what to say!!

Return on Investment

Hats off to Prof. Eshwar who could relate any MBA funda to life and tried to teach us the same in the operations management classes. I found my analogy for operations management in life from one of the financial world's most important formula.

Its impossible to rationalise feelings and quantify relationship value. However I do feel the ROI (Return on Investment) can really give us a fair unbiased qualitative analysis.

ROI ∝ E1 x E2 x E3

E1 = Emotion; E2 = Esteem; E3 = Energy

It takes time to break even, however in the long run, the ROI should rather be positive. If any one of the E'd take a beating and goes negative, ROI will go down and then its not a project worth investing into. Time ofcourse is irrelevant here.

Some Hypothesis that is! But true if you spare a thought and analyse it.

Food for thought, aint it?
