Good Morning 05102011

Afternoon saw some shocking news trickling in. India's largest lender has been downgraded in terms of its financial strength. This is going to affect the country a great deal.

And soon we might see India going
through some tough times. How I wonder, our government is going to tide over this? And they are showing no intent as of now. And the policies are only good enough to deteriorate things.

And there are things brewing up in Wall Street. That's what NY Times says. Americans are growing more restive of tax cuts and outsourcing. A few years ago, this would've been unpredictable even to the wise men and many made dough out of it.

Dreary mornings coming up

The best part of being a 'trainee' is you get a respite from the drudgery of your workplace in the pretext of institutional training. For the last three weeks I was away at fort Kochi. The place is a historic spot which parallels Goa.

To be frank there was little learnt about the job. Evenings were spent at the beach and many nights at a shack drinking. Some great friendships were made over the bottle and a few fights too. Since none of the girls were great looking no serious attempt was made to woo. Then there was a small drinking brawl too. Anyways, I am today rejoining my branch. I am feeling sick of it too. But do we have a choice?

I was stunned to hear a news about my friend. He was forced to take up an assignment in USA. The company had no other substitute. He being so attached to family and friends here, was literally on tears. The company promised to get him back as soon as they get a substitute. This happened some 6 years ago. Yesterday I heard he settled down in USA and has applied for a Green Card. And none of his friends is in touch with him. A land of much temptations indeed.

The destiny has chosen me to share my birthday with Indian version of Google. A long 25+ years have passed. Birthdays is no longer something I look forward to. I would like to get this over with.

My mates tried to make it best one possible with a lot of birthday bumps. There might be a party tonight. Hope it doesn't my purse.

Just watching a morning show for jobless. People moan how low waist jeans are destroying our culture. Hope these moral police remembers until a few decades ago women used to go bare chested around here.

Sharing a line : Every morality is a pseudo morality

Universal Truths

Today morning, my room mate came running in. The headlines screamed something.

I took up the paper to find that the age old Theory of Relativity is on the verge of extinction. My friend has his exams coming on in December and in one morning the entire world of physics has changed.

I can't help but reminiscence with a tinge of sadness about the nights spent convincing myself that light is the fastest in the world. Now the kids have to learn different theories at school.

Still human race isn't willing to admit the evergreen, unchanging theory ' Life is nothing but an illusion '

Women might be the most difficult among the God's creation to analyze.
The above statement may not find any opposition, even from a staunch female chauvnist. It was just yesterday while I was sharing a walk with a girl. Suddenly she says ' I've got to go ' and goes. Not even a decent good bye.

Rest of the week is going to be bit hectic. I've been asked to do a talk on the economic situation of the country in 80's. I am not an economic student but then it doesn't matter. I have found some quite interesting facts. Looking on to add more.

A local debate ranging on is about a treasure trove discovered. The temple people says its theirs and intellects days its the nation's. Whoever wins It's theirs to plunder.

Yesterday was the death anniversary of one of the prominent personalities on Kerala - Sree Narayana Guru. He fought against the notorious untouchablity system prevalent in the state. Alcohol was his second enemy. He commanded his disciples not to consume, produce or sell liquor. Today his followers are the strongest in the country - politically and financially. The organisation is headed by one of the most powerful liquor barons in the country.

A fast approaching birth anniversary is something I look ahead with certain apprehension

Dangerous liasions

Yesterday saw the sorry spectacle of Kochi tuskers team being scrapped off. I checked the Twitter to see what Tharoorji had to say on that. As usual he was kind enough to shift the blame on the management. I wouldn't want to get into another Tharoor rant. But am hopeful he would recollect the shallow promises  made in relation with venturing into a money churning business.

Even Machiavelli wouldn't have envisioned a situation where the politics and corporates intertwine dangerously. Our society is living in the danger of exterminating itself thanks to selfishness of a few.

Some more hypocrites

An interesting news came in the newspaper, ' Common man have had enough of hartals'. I am surprised that Common man has no problem with the frequent petrol hikes. But he is in deep distress with hartals and strikes.

And to provide some sort of relaxation Berlusconi has claimed he has some 'it' with 8 women. Now for a man who is fraction of his age, its difficult to imagine the possiblity. Still the unrealistic never fail to stimulate us.
