As i take out my bike and enter the streets, i am witnessing quite an unwholesome site, a bike has apparently scrapped past a car door and the owner of the car, who i believe is a man of breeding, is menacingly yelling out imprecations at the miscreants who've sped past him. &lt;i&gt;Mental note to self&lt;/i&gt; : &lt;b&gt;Be Brave. You'll be victorious today. &lt;/b&gt;Fifteen minutes have elapsed and i have traversed half the distance required to reach my destination. The streets are filled with agitated people (Mondays are quite a handful, Especially after a sleepy Sunday ), traffic peccadillos and pollution. As i slowly reach my destination i am on the look out for the security guy. As is his wont, he comes running along and barks at me stating that i should put the center stand for my bike to save up space for the other bikes (Which is not that much.Perhaps, if a bunch of bikes are parked that way it makes a difference. My bike alone, with the side stand, makes no difference) i quarrel with him for sometime and my intransigence is enough to quell the old man's rebellion. &lt;i&gt;Mental note to self&lt;/i&gt; : &lt;b&gt;Be composed. You have what it takes.&lt;/b&gt; Having climbed up the stairs, i type 3-5-9 on the touchscreen just before the entrance and the screen now reads "Welcome &lt;i&gt;Ashwin Ganesh Krishnamurthy&lt;/i&gt;".&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;There are two coveted chairs in my section. Not only do they have the ergonomic advantage but the gluteus maximus is at its ease when rested upon on the cushions of these chairs. Moreover these recline back only up to an angle of 145 degrees and the recoil is pretty good in them. Both of them are black in color. Both of them are made of fine leather.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;As i enter my section, I hear a noisy commotion and i look in that direction to find that two of my seniors are having a showdown and caught in their tug of war was one of the soft leather beauties. I am quite saddened by the thought that a chair of such perfection should be caught amidst this fracas.&lt;i&gt; Mental note to self &lt;/i&gt;: &lt;b&gt;Do not let sentiments affect you. Grab the next one. &lt;/b&gt;I tiptoe past the seniors, in their commotion they had forgotten the second one. I see it. Its safely resting in the shadows. The black leather camouflaged with the shadows, but not difficult to miss. I lunge for it without even a second thought. Even as my fingers are gripping it i could feel its cushion and i could imagine myself resting on it. Ahh..How divine. I drag it towards my seating area. Much to my bafflement i realize that another hand is holding it and pulling it in a direction opposing to mine. My mind was contriving powerful words, words that will ensure that my gluteus maximus is provided with the best of comforts for the day. Heck, i have been preparing myself for this moment ever since i woke up. I must have a look at the poor fool who is going to be rained down with such words and be reduced to a mere smear. As i look up to see a face, much to my dismay , it is my TL(Team Leader for you non-IT folks). Experience tells me that when faced with such a situation, belligerence will make things only worse. So i smile at him amiably and let go of my grip.As i drag a decrepit carcass of a chair (there are a whole bunch of these in my section) with feigned alacrity,i console my gluteal muscles and make a &lt;i&gt;Mental Note to Self &lt;/i&gt;: &lt;b&gt;Tomorrow get a knife.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1273081020572283880-1041411111012583148?l=something-for-your-mind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://something-for-your-mind.blogspot.com/2011/03/chair-wars.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ashwin)</author><thr:total>4</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1273081020572283880.post-7525015416065497457</guid><pubDate>Sat, 21 Aug 2010 16:25:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-08-21T19:21:21.626+05:30</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Top 5s</category><title>Top 5 Break-up Lines</title><description>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;A Long overdue i'd say, My blog has been quite barren.

Now thats awesome."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Fact:  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;n the past year more than 1,000 applications were officially shut down by facebook administration for privacy violations. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Facebook is a land of opportunities". &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;#4&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt; - What is a country if it does not have friendly people? The enigmatic way your friend requests lure your mind into accepting everyone (relatives, family friends, co-workers, your boss, axe murderers) without checking out their profiles or forgetting the fact that you have quite a few "PERSONAL" photos in your profile, is the work of a pure programming genius.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Fact :&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt; Y&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;ou can buy up to 5 new FACEBOOK friends from a private firm named &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://usocial.net/facebook_marketing/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;uSocial&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;. The price is 7,6 Cent per friend.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Facebook is a friendly place to be".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;#3 - &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Just imagine. A place where you can talk to anyone, become friends with celebrities, politicians, sportspersons (if you're lucky enough to find the real profile or clever enough to disregard the fake profiles), No restrictions, no bounds. Chat.Interact.Become famous by association. Or you dont like a particular celebrity? (Psst.. hint : P-a-r-i-s) you can easily tarnish their image in facebook! See &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.asylum.com/2009/09/17/facebook-political-scandals-why-we-will-never-run-for-office/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;this&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt; for more details. Furthermore you can start your terrorist organization or your own group to con people or a fake profile to make people believe that you are Lemmy Kilmister. Its your world out there and you are the king. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Fact: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;T&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;he normal state of the laws has little effect in cyberspace. This means that if somebody starts e.g. a Facebook campaign claiming that you are a paedophile, drug dealer etc. normal civil rights will usually not protect your reputation. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Facebook has no rules or laws".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;#2 - &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Some say the best way to distract one from serious addictions like drug,sex,pyromania..etc is by getting addicted to facebook.With all your friends, relatives and people from everywhere around the globe to talk with, numerous applications,quizzes..etc to play, the truckloads of photos,videos and profile pictures you can stalk and with more innovative ideas looming around the corner, Facebook can provide a good distraction.Heck, its only gonna cause you CTS or spinal problems or eye defects and if you get too addicted you can always go for the FAA (Facebook addicts anonymous).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Fact : &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;sychologists have introduced the diagnosis FAD (Facebook Addiction Disorder) as a new kind of addiction disorder.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;We hope you had a wonderful time in facebook, we wish to have you back soon."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;#1 - &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;No tickets, visas or passports!

So i decided to write up something about all this in me blog and keep up with the trend. With my college education coming to an end (finally) in a year, I'll be left to fend for myself in the big urban jungles, I'll have to find a job that can support my dream "bachelor pad" which i plan to construct and occupy (i'm gonna call it "The Wolf's Lair"). But dreaming aside, comes the hard part, Finding a job in these times, Its undoubtedly clear that, Santa will be handing out pink slips instead of gifts cause the lil elf factory will not have cash to buy the raw materials ( My managerial skills are showing up!! w00t!). So i have taken the liberty of writing down the top ten jobs, to keep ur wallets full (on some level).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;# 10 - The Intern&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, a very "Fulfilling" job. It can vary from unpaid to paid. You'll need to have a high degree of self esteem because you will be working with people half ur age (depends on ur age). But, wat the hell, u can always say&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt; "im rediscovering my core attributes"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt; or &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;"Interning helps me branch out to other areas other than wat i learnt in college"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt; or &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;"It will look good in my resume"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Job Security Statu&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;s&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt; :Insecure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;#9 - A Street Performer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whoever said street performance is demeaning?! With recession hitting people hard, we have to change our morals. It pays top bucks if u let go of that little ego and dignity that u have worked all ur life to achieve. Why is this number 9 and not number 10?  For starters, This job &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;friggin pays&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;!! Anywho there are so many options like - The clown, The Mime, The rapper, The robot.. etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Job Security Status&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt; : Secure as long as u desire. Though you'll need to have a decent crowd to  get the greens. One day isn't always like the other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;#8 - The Annoying Telemarketing Dude/Dudette&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If u have the energy to keep on talking and/or make people meet ur demands just by talking and u have a certain threshold to bear ur customer's curses and yells, This is the job for you!

So the next best thing for single men/women is Dating. Online dating saves so much cash. All you need to do is create a snazzy homepage which lets ur customers date online. You enable them all virtual dating needs form casual clothes, tuxes to wine and condoms (did i mention? create a virtual "doing it" place too, but face the consequences, it will be no different from an average porn website) So the meeting, talking and buying is all done online and all u have to do is contrive a webpage such that, the customers dont feel the need to meet each other person. Your customers do have to register ofcourse (thats where u can milk the money). Requires superior knowledge of web designing and programming.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Job Security Status&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt; : Very secure, There are tons of single men and women who wanna get laid.. urm.. i mean..

The job pay is decent (disheartening to hear that people spend so much for nannies, kids need to learn how to be own their own!! :-/). The best part is, u get to abuse their house, their food, their pay-per-view, their internet and just about everything. Its a package deal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Job Security Status&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt; : Secure.

Life planner ofcourse can demand tons of money cause he/she is planning a person's life. And based on the success they can fix the cost of their "service" (and ofcourse, if not tipped its frowned upon - downsides of aristocracy).So being life-planner doesn't need That much, Just find the right dolt and ur good to go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Job Security Status&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt; : Innovative idea and is based on referrals from person to person.

Do u want tons of money, but you dont wanna get out of that couch ur sitting on?  Are u shallow enough to take up any job as long as it pays u like crazy? If yes, This the no:1 job for u and all the other lazy buggers out there. The job is excruciatingly simple, u just have to be a spouse to the person who is filthy rich and/or earning a lot. You'll get the best food, meet the finest people, Wear Armanis and Guccis and Do whatever u want. Theres literally no hard work required, just keep ur spouse happy!! ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Job Security Status&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt; : Till u die.

Imagine our world if all of us spoke whatever comes to our mind,whenever we think of it! I thought of a few examples,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;During a Date&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Guy- "This is our third date, do i do you today?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Girl-  "You have zits and your breath stinks,so im thinking...NO!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;At the Office&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Worker- "You dont deserve this job, i work twice as much as you and all you do is criticize!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Boss- "Thats 'cause my wife's dad owns this comapany, why do u think i married her anyway? Oh.. and You're Fired!!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;At Home&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Mom- "do your chores, you lazy sack"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Son (not me)- "Bite ME!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mom- "You're Grounded"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And it goes on for every situation.. How long do u think the world would last? 30 seconds maximum? On the bright side, trust issues will be solved. But Im glad there's something inhibiting us from speaking our mind.. 'Cause our imagination can go from being really ecstatic to downright creepy, and when all that comes to our mind and we do speak it out,its gonna be collateral damage! OR.. i think this might just be the perfect utopian society... Think about it!! No more lies and no more cover ups and primarily..No more guilt (aftermath of lying ofcourse). Ofcourse advertising will get affected.. so what will pharmaceuticals write in their pills ? "we haven't found a cure for cold yet.. but we have mixed a few chemicals  and we're pretty sure it can fight your cold.. Oh and this is just the beta. If its successful we plan on giving it a flavour and putting it in an attractive package". And on the whole, i think the population crisis will come to a staggering halt. Most of the men are sick in someway and most of the women dont like men who are sick in anyway. With this bottleneck of "not lying and not covering up" very few actually get to be couples anyway. And this goes without saying.. lawyers, politicians and chronic liars will have to commit suicide cause its their whole life/profession thats getting affected. Come to think of it any profession involves a certain degree of lying and certain degree of covering up , just matters on how large the 'degree' is. So lets hope 'frontal lobe &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;disinhibition&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;' doesnt affect us :-P ( i heard its a rare condition so.. relax!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- AddThis Button END --&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1273081020572283880-4154181180859483995?l=something-for-your-mind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://something-for-your-mind.blogspot.com/2009/03/funny-thing-i-saw-this-episode-of-house.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ashwin)</author><thr:total>6</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1273081020572283880.post-7386881237902689097</guid><pubDate>Sat, 04 Apr 2009 08:46:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-03-16T07:19:45.863+05:30</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Humor and Spoof</category><title>Crowarchy</title><description>&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;C&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;rows  rule the planet!! Here i am.. thinking.. that monarchy was eradicated,but only recently, after 2-3 days of observation and logistics i truly believe that crows rule India and which ever country they are found in. With my powerful reasoning i will prove it. Ok here goes,  Crows generally pee everywhere.. and whose cleaning it?? US. HUMANS. (If this argument aint strong enough.. theres more. Read on, its a short blog) Well.. I've had my fair share of experiences with these ugly and extremely annoying creatures and to top it all up, i live in a country where crows are abundant!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In India, crows are  believed to be dead people coming back to life (sort of like a messenger to the heavens!!) Which is why, before any rituals, food is left outside the house for the crows. These pampered lil fiends eat our food, crap on our house (not just 'house', They crap everywhere cars, bikes, doors, trees, HELL.. They've actually crapped on my head once!) and just fly off!! Ok having complained so much.. i cant leave out 'cawing'. Even Roosters are melodious.. Crows just go overboard with their pointless sounds and hoarse noise. We feed them with food and i've heard that, some couples actually have a bird house just for crows ( Ok, this is partially made up. But if there are houses for birds, why not for crows too? Its a possibility),Not to mention their annoying screeches which wake us up and/or make us  wanna shove food up their mouths so that they just stop cawing. And worst of all its a 'they'.. Crows team up into mini platoons and attack their victim(s) and torture him/her  into doing their bidding (by bidding, i mean ,Food. And by attack, i mean their nagging caws. Cleaning up crow-shit is left to the victims) Thats food, shelter, a command of authority and an army!! I rest my case by saying that, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Its&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt; a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;crowarchy!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- AddThis Button END --&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1273081020572283880-7386881237902689097?l=something-for-your-mind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://something-for-your-mind.blogspot.com/2009/04/crowarchy.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ashwin)</author><thr:total>4</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1273081020572283880.post-6324836946862541456</guid><pubDate>Sun, 15 Feb 2009 09:26:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-03-20T17:21:57.071+05:30</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Poems and Limericks</category><title>Big Bunch Of Crap..</title><description>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;I read this &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Edward lear &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;book and i got inspired, I wrote most of these limericks in class (during an insanely boring lecture) so, pardon me.

So as i sip my morning coffee.. i look at the table.. look at the news papers lying there. So i decide.. why not give the newspaper a shot.. it is still prevalent in our times even after the t.v and internet have been invented. So i take it in my hand.. my lap is flooded with the supplement brochures.( one jus read "contact 9860557432" in a white paper!! wats the point.. i dunno). After that its the supplement papers.. wow! this doesn happen with internet or t.v!! So now the papers lying on the table are Main, Entertainment, classifieds(based on the day.. its a different supplement) and those aforementioned brochures..  I choose main,Cause entertainment supplements have nothing but : celebrity gossip, primarily,which celebrity is getting married and/or divorced or how many kids this celebrity has or where his/her mansion is... (who Gives a Damn??)  Us mortal working drones cant earn like those hollywood celebs.. unless a distant rich uncle leaves us a fortune!!! so anyway.. i choose the main newspaper. And one thing strikes me!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;How does the news from all over the world fit into a newspaper?!?!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;(Jerry seinfeld has joked about the same.. but it strikes me everytime too) It sounds near impossible! even news from the remote parts of the world are in our papers (worthy news) but still.. kudos to the writers though.. they do a good job in fitting all those stuff happening across the world into the newspaper(s). Maybe thats why its still so popular.. cause if its internet, its got so many annoying links, adds and pop ups in between!! and t.v, well.. the tube has so many news channels that even i could start one (provided i have the capital and probably a satellite!!). So i begin the arduous task of reading this marvellous piece of invention. And i see that my ma has jus apparated outta nowhere.. hands on her hips. "Ashwin its time for college!!!" (i was jus struck with an epiphany.. that i could actually waste time without doing anything) Okay.. its become a drill nowadays. wake up, attempt to read,get ready for college!! scientists should probably invent a tablet which feeds news to ur brain directly after u swallow it, i even have a name for it "newcin". "hey folks.. introducing newcin, the revolutionary drug which feeds news into ur head, comes in several flavours- World news,entertainment,sports, politics, gossips, pointless advertisments, classifieds, education and weather forecasts to name a few.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- AddThis Button END --&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1273081020572283880-7552244771684663721?l=something-for-your-mind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://something-for-your-mind.blogspot.com/2009/01/struck-with-epiphany.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ashwin)</author><thr:total>5</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1273081020572283880.post-8956416977524090459</guid><pubDate>Wed, 14 Jan 2009 13:09:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-03-18T20:35:00.347+05:30</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Science and Tech</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Cerebration</category><title>Negative Time</title><description>"Wat if we could move in the negative time axis.. does it mean we can go back in time?".. haha freaked you out didnt i?? No. Dont worry this is not a theoritical physics blog.. not that kind. I saw this movie "the butterfly effect" and ashton kutcher was able to go back in time, to correct his mistakes in the past so as to have a favourable future. But each action in the past resulted in something less favourable in the future.. ultimately making him lose the one thing (his love, childhood friend) movies like this makes u wanna think!!  wat if we could actually go back in time? (i'd not take up engineering as my course!! i'll seriously have a better future if i did that.. wats possibly worse? i'd take up beggin in the streets for engineering any day!)&lt;br /&gt;1. if we do go back in time do we get young?&lt;br /&gt;2.wat do we do if we meet ourselves in the past?&lt;br /&gt;These two questions arise. I've been pondering over this for a long time now. Wont you feel weird seeing yourself all grown and stuff?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of a sudden one day.. this utterly shabby guy comes upto me.. he's got a long goatee,he's fat (3 times my size) and bald, with a stench that makes my nostrils die on the spot. He takes my hand, shakes it and says "Im Ashwin Ganesh and i own a video store, its in the slums of chennai and i live in a broken down book shelf of an apartment and live with rats" before im able to react, this other guy comes up to me.. now this guy is clean shaven, has combed hair, decent build and he's got a  freaking rolex on his left hand (no.. not the fake one!!). he takes my hand and shakes it and says "I'm Ashwin Ganesh and i'm the ceo of a gaming company, i live in a condo at besant nagar very close to the beach". Now its quite clear that these two are from the future.. both contrasts!! one of them who i'd become one day! (obviously i'll choose the 2nd guy) but i gotta follow his path.. and the rules which he prescribes to me, to become all that he is. Where is the third guy? the guy who will be the future of all i want to be right now.. the current moment. Well its quite clear.. the third guy is happy and he doesnt wanna change his past for a favourable future, so he's happily sitting in the future. (there can be a third, fourth, fifth guy... etc) but these two seem unhappy, which is why they've come to advice me on the mistakes i would probably face and should &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;correct&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; for a favourable future. So now again there are 2 more paths... either these two guys (after &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;correction&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;) or the third guy (who is probably happy .. whoever he is, whatever he does!) you're probably getting bored after reading so far.. i admit, its very dry. But it gets you thinking right? (No, apart from thinking of ways to swear at me for blogging such a pointless topic). And yeah i'm gonna become the third guy.. the guy who will be the future of current thoughts..(who is probably a modified version of the first or second guy.. called &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;correction&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(P.s: I wanted to bring a dramatic effect to the word "correction", on the lines of "the twilight zone" and "the weird circle")&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1273081020572283880-8956416977524090459?l=something-for-your-mind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://something-for-your-mind.blogspot.com/2009/01/negative-time.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ashwin)</author><thr:total>6</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
