Like every other sane person, I also get annoyed and irritated when I get emails from “Mmary” with a subject “Re:Your ticket to fantasy”. . Therefore, atleast corporates should have effective spam identification and removal rules, to ensure that employees don’t get disturbed by such crappy spams. And here is a company that takes this way too seriously...
Being a criminal is one thing and having a criminal brain is another. Extrapolating that.. being a spammer is one thing and having a spammer brain is another.. Here I was innocently sending a mail to my friends that I was planning a holiday in December, and that gets tagged as a spam as the subject line and the first line of the body of the message had the same text.
So the next mail, I had ensured that the mail subject line and content were not the same. Didn’t help much as the message was again as tagged as spam, because the body contained the word ‘virgin’. All I was telling him was that I would be flying back by Virgin Airlines L….
Since then, I have focused more on the subject and the text of the message than the actual content, and though this does not give as much high as hacking, it does give a very cheap thrill when the mail actually passes through as a non spam mail!

Incredible India, well.......
Diverse cultures that infuse inclusivity
Communities that claim exclusivity
A nation is not built by mere numbers
People need to wake up from deep slumber
Was looking forward to a pleasant experience
A day that would increase national pride
Behaviour marking unprecedented indifference
All my expectations were taken for a royal ride
An event organised to showcase the identity
That we are one for all, and all for one
To a nation that is sportive and supportive
The incorrigible outlook, managed to impress none
A premise that education is an answer
To combat poverty and communalism
Was proven wrong with consummate ease
Ironically, on Diwali, it was darkness that prevailed

Finally it has Donned on me!
The movie buff in me wakes up every Thursday, and works feverishly to decide on the movie that would going to set the pace for that weekend.
And today, I just realized that I am actually looking forward to a Shah Rukh film, the Bollywood equivalent of Kollywood’s Vijayakanth. Theiir approach is going to be the same, irrespective of the character, still they rule the masses, either with sheer screen presence, metaphorically and literally respectively, or unintended comic sense.
The only difference this time, is that the movie I am looking forward to, incidentally has Shah Rukh, and to me he is not the one who will steal the show. I expect Boman Irani to steal the show, and Priyanka Chopra to steal my heart yet again J. If Shah Rukh sings ~Mein Hoon Kaun~, he might just get the best prize for winning the Fancy Dress competition for aping Big B.
And Farhan Akhtar’s technical finesse is something I am really excited about…
So, To see or not too see is not the question. when to see is the only question!

Reality Bytes
There is something about these reality shows that keeps me rooted to my seat, and watch it till the very end of the episode, even feeling uncomfortable to switch channels during ad breaks. Am I addicted to these shows? No. However, when I switch on the TV if there is a reality show on air, I find it tough to give it a miss….
So much so that, when I have lunch at home, and I find that the sambhar that I cooked is less spicy, my laziness prevents me to get up and get some salt or pickles, and I all I need to do is just switch on the TV and Dr Phil guarantees adequate masala to keep me quiet and supplements my bland food effectively. Not a single case where he has given a firm direction, and whats more, end of the episode, he asks his clients, who are fresh from serial domestic fights, whether they want professional advice to bring them to peace, one wonders, what he was doing consuming valuable air time.. nevertheless it is engrossing and entertaining. Lakshmi in Tamil sob show “Kadhai alla Nijam” has a long way to go if she has to reach the dizzying iconic status that Dr Phil has achieved in preaching nothing.
Dinner time, and the judges of Australian Idol, Mark Holden, Marcia Hines and Kyle Sandilands, ensure that the viewers are taken on a roller coaster ride of emotions, not seen even in a Sooraj Barjatiya movie. I am not a great fan of Firang music, so I really can’t appreciate when a singer actually sings well. But unmindful of the limitations, I enjoy this show for the melodrama despite the predictability in the character sketches of the judges.
I actually grew nervous when Aus Idol got over (I think its over J ), when I chanced on an episode of Survivor. My God.. Innovative bitching on co survivors behind one’s back is the USP of this show…extended my dinner intake because of this show!
If I go any further in this direction, I might prefer Big Brother to a Captain Flick.. May the Force be with me, and stop me from treading this unacceptable path…

All the world is a stage
Chennai – Melbourne –Accra. Nandan Nilekani’s vision of winning in a flat world was slightly modified to ‘Playing in a Flat world’. This was possibly just the fourth time in my life that I was performing on stage. The interesting aspect being, no two times with the same exploits.
This time around, I was part of a students’ ensemble playing the Djembe, which is a West African drum, an instrument I have been learning for three months now. We were performing at the Esplanade which is one of the oldest Hotels/ Pubs in St Kilda which is the Summer Capital of Melbourne for its beach and added fun and frolic ;).
Our part lasted for just about ten minutes, but it was truly memorable. Since this was the first gig that I was performing in, the intial moments were jittery, but once into the groove, it was masti! I had a bout of nerves, before the event, but after I saw my fellow performers already down with a couple of beers waiting for our turn, I just told myself that it would not be as tough I thought it would be.
Once on stage, I had the shock of the evening, when I found that only one of classmates was on stage, and the rest from a different batch! Fearing that I was possible ascended on to the stage earlier than required, I checked with my teacher, if I was in the right place, and only later did I realize that rest of my class mates were sitting on the chairs they had brought for the event, and hence were occupying the first quarter of the audience space themselves.
The group was truly multi ethnic and the output just vindicated my belief that Music can be a Great Unifier.
The performance/stage is not even remotely comparable to the December season concert in Music Academy, but never the less, it was an enriching experience. There is nothing that quenches a performer’s thirst more than the genuine applause one gets from the audience, not even two bottles of Castle Lager!
A big thanks to my friends Pramod, Sriram and Dhaval for turning up early for the event, and standing up (literally), for me!
If you are interested in catching glimpses of Shivamani II in the making, feel free to mail me, and I will send across the photos/video clips, proudly presented to you by ace photographer Pramod!

Autobiography of an Eternal Wannabe
In this season of endless biographies, authorized and unauthorized, and autobiographies,we are confronted with a precarious situation. Suneil Shetty is planning to release his autobiography “ The Eternal Wannabe”.
I have managed to lay my hands on the manuscript of the Preface to this book, using my far reaching contacts.. So read on as it might help you in knowing whats in store when you end up in the nearest Landmark Store to grab your copy
Preface
When my son Aahan brought me his English Homework book, and asked me to read his essay ‘Autobiography of a two rupee note’, my thoughts began to wander. Am I not worth even two rupees, for no one has even thought about a biography on me. Not to feel utterly disappointed, I took it upon myself to show the world who Suneil Shetty is.
My sincere thanks to the Bollywood producers who have refused to queue up in front of my house, with offers, for that has given me all the time in the world to finish this work. I have divided this book into two broad phases of my life- namely Being Sunil, and Being Suneil.
This book captures very little of my childhood, because I presume that when people are positively uninterested about me when I am a veteran Bollywood actor, their interest in my childhood can be no better.
The Eternal Wannabe is a vehicle in which I am going to take you through the journey of my career path, from the days when I wanted to be the number 1 action hero, before Akshay stormed his way into the scene, and then moves on to the days when I wanted to be a wholesome actor , before Aamir and Shah Rukh took over. And the journey doesn’t stop there.
Then I wanted to be a comedy actor, after the miracle hit Hera Pheri , before all three mentioned above took away the shine from me. I even touch upon the phase when I wanted to be a sought after villain after Main Hoon Na.
It then takes you through the most successful phase of my life, which is acting as the m+nth hero of any movie, and use Bollywood as a cash cow and not as a medium to attain glory.
Come, join me in this event filled journey and you will have the ride of your life.
Forever Yours,
Suneil

Lecture From the Sun to a Son
I had to get up and travel to the city real early today morning for an appointment. It was such a pleasant sight to see the sun real bright as early as 6:30.And this is what the Sun had to tell me, to ensure that I enjoy every moment of this spring...
Where were you yesterday morning
Were you hiding under the blanket?
Where were you yesterday morning
Were you still dreaming big time ?
I wait for you every morning
To get a glimpse of the fresh you
And you fail to meet me
When I am young and bright
I don’t want to leave you
In the influence of the dark
So I illuminate your world
Shining through the Moon
Has there ever been a day
When I have failed to rise
Seen the best and the worst
But never shrunk or shrugged
Its time for you to wake up
Enjoy the genuine brightness
Soak up in the real warmth
And liven up your own world!
Where were you yesterday morning

Seen the best and the worst

Its time for you to wake up
Enjoy the genuine brightness
Soak up in the real warmth
And liven up your own world!
A favour for Rahul -Part II
We continue on some more FAQs that will help Rahul meet the press with a straight bat in WC 2007!
MC: The toss was very crucial for this important match….
Scenario 1: Rahul wins the toss, elects to bat and bats out the opposition from the match
Rahul: Of course, in big games like these, you would love to have a little bit of luck going your way,and yes, the toss was very vital, as we were far more comfortable in bat out the opposition out of the match, then chase a total on this pitch.
Scenario 2: Rahul loses the toss, chases and wins the match
Rahul: The result should be determined by the team that emerges stronger in any given situation, and I don’t think the toss really has an impact on the outcome of the match.
MC: So how important is Tendulkar factor for the Men in Blue
Scenario 1: Sachin has scored a stunning run a ball 80 that has helped India win against Pakistan
Rahul: The effect of Sachin’s presence can never be explained in words. He simply lifts the morale of the side, and has an aura that keeps the team buoyant, and more he plays more the team gains
Scenario2: Sachin has been sent back home because of tennis elbow injury relapse and India lose to Pakistan
Rahul: Well, Sachin is a great player in his own right, but I think each one of us have to understand our responsibility and play to the full of our potential. Only then can the team click in the long run (*And you thot I will say Sachin is a thing of the past like what Veeru said about Dhaadha.. Sorry*)
MC: Irfan Pathan at Number 3. Is it still a unanimous ‘think tank’ decision?
Scenario 1: Irfan scores a match winning half century in an otherwise low scoring game
Rahul: Yes, We have fixed the slot for him, and as an all rounder he is only emerging with more promise after every outing (*just don’t think about his eight previous failures during this reply*)
Scenario 2: Irfan fails miserably at number 3, for the third time, and his bowling is also impacted because of this
Rahul: Well, Irfan is young and extremely talented. The world is not going to end after this World Cup for him. We are grooming him for the WC 2011, and what better stage than this to work on all permutations available as far as he is concerned (*I am tired of Irfan bashing.. may be this will keep the media silent for atleast two and a half years*)
So my friends, as you can all see, I am really investing time to help out Rahul with his media management, so that he can fully focus on his cricket and his on field thought leadership, rather than increasing wrinkles on his forehead fretting about the next round of media bashing. Wish me luck in this endeavour!
Punch Pandi's plea: In the absence of innovative stroke play or innovative captaincy, I only wish Dravid atleast develops an innovative media plan, and not make it so predictable, in the absence of which, I will not watch even the half a dozen matches that I watch them play.

A favour for Rahul
After seeing the Indian Cricket Team lose convincingly to the Aussies, I had a rather disturbed sleep. The only silver lining in my sleep was when Rahul Dravid came in my dream and asked me to be his ‘media managing’ mentor during India’s World Cup 2007 campaign. Though I am not sure how long the tourney will last in the tournament , I am taking the task very seriously believe it or not, I have already started to pen an FAQ manual for the Captain of the Boyz in Blue(s).
Question 1:
MC: So what do you think is the main reason for the defeat?
Situation 1 : India has not played in a one day for about two months prior to the tournament.
Rahul: Since this is the first gane in two months, the players were a bit rusted, and we are only bound to improve after a few games
Situation 2: India has played a couple of unwarranted triangulars before the start of the WC
Rahul: We have had a lot of cricket in the last two months, and it is just that the boys are feeling a bit jaded. We are looking forward to the three day break before we take on Kenya, which is a critical encounter
Question2
MC: So, what do you think the morale of the team is going to be ahead of the crucial match against Pakistan?
Situation 1: India has had a thumping victory against Kenya in the previous match
Rahul: Well, you know, it is always important to have a win under your belt before you take on the big names in the tournament, so the morale would be upbeat, and the boys are ready for the challenge
Situation 2: Kenya sets up the first upset in the tournament beating India by 4 wickets
Rahul: Well, you know, it really doesn’t matter what happened in the previous match. This is cricket, you lose some and win some. So it is imperative to take each match in isolation and concentrate hard. The boys morale would be positive by the time the match starts. No two ways about it.
Question 3:
MC: Congrats on a great performance. Your century really helped India post that big score which was beyond the reach of the
Situation 1: Rahul opens the innings with Sachin
Rahul: When you have 300+ as the target you are looking to set for the opposition, the openers must set up the contest and that is precisely what I did. When the openers set the ball rolling, it is easier for the middle order to capitalize on the start
Situation 2: Rahul has batted at number 5 and scores the century
Rahul: For a big score, it is extremely important that the middle order comes to the party irrespective of the start the openers had given. That is why we have seven batsmen and not just two…(*to end with a ‘gotcha’ kinda smile*)
To be continued…

Jis Des mein Yarra Behethi Hei
Sometimes in pusrsuit of the abstract,the tangibles turn invisible. Just to ensure that we are not lost in profound thoughts on this blog, here goes a small poem on Melbourne, the city that is currently sponsoring my daily bread...
Paanch Gali ka Shehar Hei
Beech mein Yarra Nadhi Hei
Swasth Hawa Masth Jagah
Ye He Melbourne Meri Jaan
Dhin Mein Poora Kaam
Shaam Ko Thoda Guppa
Jiyo Zindagi Aman Se
Ye He Melbourne Meri Jaan
Har Dhin Mein Chaar Mousam
Chaaron Or Dikhegi Hariyali
Kitne Baag aur Kitne Maidhan
Ye He Melbourne Meri Jaan
Jahaan Dekho Romance Hei
Khel Khood mein Shauk Hei
Faltoo Chinta Karna Joke Hei
Ye He Melbourne Meri Jaan

Not all choices are no-brainers
Game for some senti stuff?.. then read on.. if you think you dont want to spoil the weekend with a heavy read, you can keep this for Monday.. it might be a bit light compared to work!
God works overtime most time of the year, deciding for you, who one's parents should be, who is destined to be born as your brother or sister, and even has dedicated staff working for him in this place called heaven, where they are busy making matches. So technically, you don’t even land up choosing your spouse, though you think you have taken part in the exercise.
So having done all this, he goes on a vacation once in a while, and he lets it open for his creations to choose people to populate the space designated for friends. So here we are trying desperately to figure out,
who could fit the bill as your best friend from whom you can take his /her pencil in school without his/her permission,
the chosen one with whom you can share a bite of your lunch,
the one with whom you can go the cinema after bunking college,
share secrets about your crushes,
the one whose shoulders you can take for granted to lean on when in need
the one whom you are confident would place the relationship above personal interests
And man, do we succeed in this simple task…. I cant talk on behalf of any one else, but I think the friend has a responsibility greater than that of any parent, brother, sister or a cousin, as this relationship has not been thrust on you by The Almighty, but one is gifted this supreme role by someone who is just like you, the chosen one…..

50 Not Out..
This is post number 50 on vaaman… and it’s a milestone that gives me a decent level of satisfaction, and I hope I have given you a little bit of variety and an element of unpredictability as to what my new post would cover.
I sincerely thank you for taking time off to visit my blog irrespective of how regularly you do this, and I only hope that I can entertain you enough to bring you back on to this page, and manage to leave a frown in your face, when you don’t find an update.
The blogging platform has helped me lots in knowing new people and making new friends. Blogging has opened my eyes to views others hold on topics, that I think deserve atleast 500 words of web space. It has also made me read the posts of fellow bloggers, and it certainly helps to know what fellow common man thinks and not just what the Netas say that they are thinking.
Its been a pleasure presenting my thoughts to you, and I shall do all that I can, to keep this going, and keep raising the bar as we progress in this journey

Cheers!
I sincerely thank you for taking time off to visit my blog irrespective of how regularly you do this, and I only hope that I can entertain you enough to bring you back on to this page, and manage to leave a frown in your face, when you don’t find an update.
The blogging platform has helped me lots in knowing new people and making new friends. Blogging has opened my eyes to views others hold on topics, that I think deserve atleast 500 words of web space. It has also made me read the posts of fellow bloggers, and it certainly helps to know what fellow common man thinks and not just what the Netas say that they are thinking.
Its been a pleasure presenting my thoughts to you, and I shall do all that I can, to keep this going, and keep raising the bar as we progress in this journey

Birthdays and the Elusive extra toffee
Today I had this pleasant and unique experience of chatting simultaneously with two of my ‘jigree’ dosths who wore their birthday dresses to school on the same day ,14 years ago!
On that note here is yet another attempt to transport you through this small journey into early school life… “Nyaabagam Varudhe Part III”
My birthday falls in end of April, and so, I never had the opportunity to go to school wearing the newly bought dress on my birthdays. But that doesn’t stop one’s excitement when it is any of the class mate’s birthdays.
The pride that the b’day baby’s face exuded, the suspense factor of what toffee was in store, and which class the sweets would be distributed were just some of the highlights.
If two classmates celebrate their birthday on the same day, even better. One toffee is finished pre lunch and the other in the second half. And that is the day when the kid wins new friends, as the classmates are hopeful of getting that extra caramel chocolate in the second interval from out of the reserves stored in the side pocket of the school bag!
And the birthday kids are no less shaane.. They use this as an opportunity and go that extra mile and offer one extra chocolate to please their favourite teacher.. “ Please take one more, Miss” .. If only the teachers were kind enough to acknowledge this and knock off a few blackmarks off the kids’ names…
Waiting for another spark to be aroused to embark on “Nyaabagam Varudhe Part IV”.. This is, after all the season of sequels in Bollywood too..

It's Tamil this time!
Why spare my mother tongue.. after torturing all my readers with poems in English, I thought I will pen one in Tamil.. So here it goes!
Mounam Saadhikum Idhazhgale
Kolam Podum Kolusu Kaalgale
Idhu Kaadhala Verum kaanala
Unarchiku Vizhigal Or Kaavala
Vandhaai Paarthaai Venraaiye
Caesar Kulathu Pen neeyo
Inum Kidaikavilai En Idhayam
Thirudiyadhu azhagiya theeyo
Malargalin Vaasam Nee Dhaano
Naan Utkollum Swaasam Nee Dhaano
Mounathin Vilakkam Ariyeno
Un Idhayathil Vasipadhu Adiyeno
Idhu eppadi irukku ;)

Coffee with Karan
As I was completing my routine jog around the MCG today morning, I spotted a curious tourist, who looked very familiar. He was just stretching his hands out and looking towards the sky and trying to picture someone in front of the majestic stadium. It was at that time, my mental google popped up with one search result…. The one and only Karan Johar
Knowing fairly well that he cant say no to coffee, I asked him if we could have guppa over a cup of coffee, and he obliged as expected.
So what transpired in the ten minute tete-a-tete was a free exchange of concerns and ideas..here are the excerpts
Me: So Karan, what brings you to Down Under.. leaving your adopted metropolis, NewYork
Karan: Shahrukh complained to me that he was bored of enacting his trademark ‘spread the arms-look up to the sky- release that fatally explosive constipated smile’ act in London and New York.. so here I am scouting for a new location, and have almost finalized on MCG for the next project
Me (*thrilled): So, you have got the concept ready for your next project?
Karan:You must be kidding. Story, Screenplay and Dialogues will follow later. All my projects begin with addressing Shah Rukh ‘s whims and fancies
Me: Just between the two of us. Can you please tell me how you ensured every Indian watched KANK in the first week
Karan:That’s a simple trick. If they praise the product, I ask them to spread the word, and if they come up to me taking an unfavourable stand even without watching the movie , I give them a cold stare and tell them not to go by some word of mouth, and find out for themselves J. Either way, they land up watching the movie.
Me: What is the idea behind making movies that span for more than three hours. I presume you have a misconception about an eternal classic. Just to clarify, it is certainly not a movie that goes on till eternity.
Karan: See, this is where my second source of revenue comes into the picture. I don’t care if the movie goer cries all through the movie, but what is important is that the snacks counter folks should laugh their way to the Bank, so I make it as long as possible so that the sale of popcorn and cool drinks increase manifold, and I take a cut from that too!
Me: What about your third source of revenue which is from the sale of DVDs?
Karan: Good that you brought about this point. To be honest, I am not expecting great returns from DVD sales, and instead I have struck gold with KANK, by contracting with the para military forces. The deal is that, whenever they run out of tear gas during any riot control operations, they would screen KANK on the streets, to bring about the same effect. Is there a better way to make people weep for more than three hours?
He then excused himself as he had to catch the next flight to Sydney, to check if the Opera House was a viable option as well. By then I was awestruck by the innovative commercial acumen of Johar Junior, and felt reassured that Bollywood was in very safe hands indeed.
Total Disclaimer: The entire episode is purely a figment of my imagination (right from the morning jog till the feeling of reassurance)

Impossible says I'm possible
It is just the power to see
That’s been snatched away
No one can clinch from us
The right to have a vision
We may not be provided
With The gift of the gab
But with sheer determination
Are sure to make a statement
So what if fate has been cruel
Not allowing us to walk at will
We still can achieve so much
The world will march behind us
You need to be a bit louder
We cant pick up mild noises
It is just the failure to hear
But to succeed, we are here.
Mere sympathies fail to work
In miracles we seldom trust
A level playing field we need
To prove, we can be the best
Inspired by true story of Siddharth (http://in.rediff.com/money/2006/aug/23sid.htm) and countless other unpublished success stories...

Laloo IIM Prasad and the Mahim Madness
Story 1: Laloo is going to be invited to IIM Ahmedabad to deliver guest lectures on management strategies!! Bewildered? This is no political gimmick but based on sheer weight of performance involved in turning around the loss making Indian Railways to a corporation that has cash reserve of Rs 1100 crores, in a two year span. Our Hon'ble Railway Minister has managed to turn the tables around, has happened with minimum impact on the
everyday passenger, and deftly increasing freight rates to ensure profitability. There is certainly more method than madness in this wily politician now.
Story 2: August 2005 – The entire city of Mumbai lashed back at the Mumbai administration for not having been able to effectively carry out disaster management after the furious floods played havoc on the city’s landscape. They were looking for a more responsible Govt to warn them of such impending catastrophes in advance so that lives can be saved
Fast forward into August 2006 – Mahim creek water turns sweet.. I must admit that if there is one stretch in Mumbai rail network that can wake you up even if you manage to doze off in the crowded compartments, it is the stench from the creek between Mahim and Bandra. As the news of the ‘miracle’ spread amongst the Mumbaikars, they wanted to have first hand information on this, and so they start to taste the sea water. This frenzy continues despite being warned adequately by the district officials that it is very much likely that water borne bacterial diseases could emanate from the Mahim waters. Not sure what exactly the people want the administration to do if they are not inclined to listen to such simple instructions.
Maybe this would even prompt Pepsi to abandon the “Pepsi is safer than Tea” campaign and take up “Pepsi is safer than Mahim water” campaign soon.
Kalyug is in full swing with politicians attempting to turn a new leaf, and the public blisfully prefers to tread the path of 'informed ignorance'.

Maverick School of Intuitive Entrepreneurship
Only God knows what prompted this title, but when I was discussing with my colleague at work, as to how it feels more rewarding when you know that you have created a pie of value, then just get a share of the pie by virtue of being in a vantage position, I just got this term out of the blue and this has sort of stuck with me thro the evening.
I have not read any biography or autobiography of any great entrepreneur, but for Maverick, which talks about the revolutionary path adopted by Semco, after it was taken over by its second generation leader Ricardo Semler.
Here is a brief note on how I classify entrepreneurs. I have not analysed their history or growth path, but these are just my views at a superficial level.
The by the book, value system entrepreneur – He who believes that investing in a value system is as important as strategizing a business model. NR Narayana Moorthy is the brand ambassador for this enviable breed. One of the most revered industrialists in India, his institution stands testimony to the fact that, when you do what you think is right and most importantly what most others think is right, and the time will come, where you will surely shine.
The second generation entrepreneur – Azim Premji is an amazing example of how as a second generation entrepreneur, you can take the organization that you have inherited to the next level, and not squander your father’s wealth to restrict the money to his generation. I don’t think it is very easy to run a business when a thousand people view you as the leader born out of autocracy than out of democracy. To take no cognizance of that, and proving your mettle time and again is no mean joke.
Vijay Mallya also breaks into this league, and he is a second generation leader whose flamboyant lifestyle is viewed as a sign of vanity, and with greater degree of attention, whereas one cannot take away the credit he deserves for revamping and rebranding the UB group, and the way he has ventured into the airline sector.
The aggressive.. Annihilate the competitor mould – None other than Dhirubhai Hirachand Ambani can epiomise this variety. With humble beginnings as a worker in a petrol pump in the Gulf, his vision and the confidence that he can make a difference to the way business is run in India, is unparalleled. The way he went about building an empire with steadfast commitment, his trust on the famed Inner circle and the ability to topple competition with both grit and tact, right from the time he played with the happiness of a bear cartel running against him when he was a nascent entrepreneur, till his vision of 10 paise mobile phone are just pages out of the epic called Dhirubhai, the real Ambani.
Maverick Entrepreneur – This clan is my favourite. The eccentric attitude often acts as an opaque mask behind which is this absolutely astute master of business. The potential to hog the limelight is a given for them. The one person who standsout in this category is Richard Branson. The way he posed as a girl at the launch of Virgin, was a path breaking effort J. His simple idea of welcoming all the passengers aboard his fleet by imprinting a message with his autograph is not something that goes unnoticed if you are a leisure traveler. If there is one autobiography I would love to fetch from the racks, it would be “Losing my virginity” by Branson.
Just in case you get an impression that this post was boring, please do let me know, and I will switch back to my more cozy style of writing… stepping out of comfort zones, occasionally is not that harmful though. J

Ode from an alumnus
This is a little poem written in nostalgic thoughts on the glorious school days. This year incidentally. my school P.S.Senior Secondary School is completing 30 years..So read on.. this is "Nyaabagam Varudhe Part 2" :)
The Fun, The playground,
The teachers, the blackboard
The aayahs, the big shed
We miss these and more
Truly committed to the service,
Teachers we were blessed with
Shaping us to what we are today
We owe them infinite gratitude
Merrily Sharing our lunch boxes,
Praying for that extra holiday,
As complete strangers, we met
As friends we remain till date
Be it the acads, be it the games
The Penchant for classical music
The value system that is unique
P.S at thirty, is thirsty for more

Gaptain's Diksanary
Year 2010. The Red carpet is all set to welcome the new international superstar… yes you are right….Gaptain it is.. and what shot him to international stardom… It is the climax scene of the movie.. “Gaptain raaks”
Gaptain is trying to rescue his father Tom Cruise (Cruise apparently decided that he was too old to be an MI agent.. little did he know that Gaptain was 10 years elder to him), and his beloved mother Rekha (Rekha finally thought that acting as Gaptain’s mother was not as damaging as Hrithik’s grandmother), from a terrorist… yes you guessed it right yet again.. it is my favourite Baakisthaan Theevaravaadhi
Gaptain as usual is the police inspector and to him saving his mother and motherland are one and the same.. so why bother protecting motherland ;)
When the world expects an action packed finale , it is the Gaptain’s dialaak delivery that packs the punch… so here it goes…
“Hey….You know who I am.. I won the Gold Medal in Sooting Kaampatisan in the Sydney Olimbiks….And now I am a police Aafisar… You know why? To jhoom in on khiriminals like you and soot you all” The terrorist can't take it any more and faints promptly..
Flabbergasted with what had happened, the Police Commissioner
Asks Gaptain to explain the phenomenon.. and Gaptain starts one more set of punch lines…. “ Kamisinar saar…Be it protecting the daalars at Suvis Bang, ensuwaring peaceful elaxans, or protecting the werld from Baakisthan terrorists.. If Vijay Kant no one can”….The commissioner puts in his best effort to hide his unbearable laughter and congratulates the ultimate Messiah of the masses..
Take a Bow Gaptain Take a Bow!
