terrorism and personal gain

I was just reading a news article which quoted Mr. Ric Charlesworth that subcontinent has changed since 1980 when he played hockey professionally in Pakistan.
He thinks that Commonwealth games and hockey world cup next year may be Jeopardised because of security concerns.
Australia did not send the hockey teams to India because of Mumbai attack and he goes on to say that he left the job on mentor to Indian hockey also because of security reasons.
He just forgot to mention the reason at that time, on the contrary he said it was all due to IHF fault and we all agreed with him as he was a foreigner which we think are superior..so he remebers this now after a year..
I dont say India is safe or Pakistan is or everyone should sshow solidarity to India but I say this why to take out personal grunt on this matter Mr. Ric Charlesworth.. I admired you as a strategist but now I am sorry to say you have lost respect in my eyes and I think in eyes of many other Indian fans..

the comedy show

In Bangkok one thing which I have with me is free time and because of this number of saas bahu serials I have watched in last 10 days far exceeds whole no I have watched in my life time. But believe me these serials are changing..the shadyantras and saajishs are giving way to a mix of normal life serials but this is not about saas bahu aur saajish :P this is about a very important thing for us all Indians( elections) and I think whole world is also waiting for the outcome..
So while watching these serials I sometime switch on the news channels also and in tht by luck I saw a pannel discussion. Actually everytime I open any news channel the news out thr gives me enormous confidence that If I failed as an enterpreneur I have Indian news channels as my backing :P
any way the news was that Shahrukh Khan and Preity Zinta will do campaign for congress..
As a management graduate I was thinking what a great move by party to attract young people..we dont have young leader so attract them with Filimi chamak dhamak.
I was amazed at the progress India has made, Now shahrukh instead of selling pepsi( ohh..its Coke its difficult yaar) is going to sell congress..nice move by party..
first Jai ho copywright and now Shahrukh and Preity.

As a young educated voter I was contemplating that what these parties thinks of us Indians fools who we will vote since Jai ho is being played or shahrukh says congress is good or BJP is good..dont we have our eyes, ears and mind of our own.
Dont our PM, Mrs Gandhi can say what Shahrukh will say..
is this our politics..Ankur you were right when you say politics in this country is going down to an unthinkable level...
I am confused for whom to vote..I see no alternatives in front of me..
Instead of waiting for someone to stand up and get counted when will I do the same..

this is why politics has gone down to this level

The B-School Story ends :( :)

So I am going to be an MBA soon(provided that I did not fail all my last term paper and going by the records I think I should not fail any ;-))
I have left the campus beefore 15 days but did not got on internet since than as I was visiting one of the most beautiful country in the world Thailand and still I am sitting in my place at Bangkok but it is not about the visit tthat will come later its abt the B school story

its an special feeling to get a degree which youu wanted so badly and for me it will always be a dream come true. Yeah not fully but partly yeah I got what I wanted.
Many things I heard about a B school, IIM Indore made me revisit tthat.. those dreaded night outs at IIMs were missing from my life.. that different world where everyone is at his own is also missing..I found real good buddies out there at my stay..
but yeah there were classes ffull of discussions, there were mess bakar at 3 in night, badminton at 3:30.. night cricket.. football...yeah there were new initiatives ...night outs to submit assignments as u were sleepin for the whole week :P
There were guest talks..some which made you more bald..and some which made you think..ohhh can this be done or why the speaker is going to stop.

there are loads of thinks to write and I think there are several posts in which I am going to bore you all

PS: I know the post did nt make much sense but now its over :P ;-)
