L. R. MOORTHI, Prof IIM Bangalore<br /><br />Enjoy reading..!!</blockquote><br />"Have Breakfast… or…Be Breakfast!"<br /><br />Who sells the largest number of cameras in India?<br />Your guess is likely to be Sony, Canon or Nikon. Answer is none of the above. The winner is Nokia whose main line of business in India is not cameras but cell phones.<br />Reason being cameras bundled with cellphones are outselling stand alone cameras. Now, what prevents the cellphone from replacing the camera outright? Nothing at all. One can only hope the Sonys and Canons are taking note.<br />Try this. Who is the biggest in music business in India? You think it is HMV Sa-Re-Ga-Ma? Sorry. The answer is Airtel. By selling caller tunes (that play for 30 seconds) Airtel makes more than what music companies make by selling music albums (that run for hours).<br />Incidentally Airtel is not in music business. It is the mobile service provider with the largest subscriber base in India. That sort of competitor is difficult to detect, even more difficult to beat (by the time you have identified him he has already gone past you). But if you imagine that Nokia and Bharti (Airtel's parent) are breathing easy you can't be farther from truth.<br />Nokia confessed that they all but missed the smartphone bus. They admit that Apple's Iphone and Google's Android can make life difficult in future. But you never thought Google was a mobile company, did you? If these illustrations mean anything, there is a bigger game unfolding. It is not so much about mobile or music or camera or emails?<br />The "Mahabharat" (the great Indian epic battle) is about "what is tomorrow's personal digital device"? Will it be a souped up mobile or a palmtop with a telephone? All these are little wars that add up to that big battle. Hiding behind all these wars is a gem of a question – "who is my competitor?"<br />Once in a while, to intrigue my students I toss a question at them. It says "What Apple did to Sony, Sony did to Kodak, explain?" The smart ones get the answer almost immediately. Sony defined its market as audio (music from the walkman). They never expected an IT company like Apple to encroach into their audio domain. Come to think of it, is it really surprising? Apple as a computer maker has both audio and video capabilities. . So what made Sony think he won't compete on pure audio? "Elementary Watson". So also Kodak defined its business as film cameras, Sony defines its businesses as "digital."<br />In digital camera the two markets perfectly meshed. Kodak was torn between going digital and sacrificing money on camera film or staying with films and getting left behind in digital technology. Left undecided it lost in both. It had to. It did not ask the question "who is my competitor for tomorrow?" The same was true for IBM whose mainframe revenue prevented it from seeing the PC. The same was true of Bill Gates who declared "internet is a fad!" and then turned around to bundle the browser with windows to bury Netscape. The point is not who is today's competitor. Today's competitor is obvious. Tomorrow's is not.<br />In 2008, who was the toughest competitor to British Airways in India? Singapore airlines? Better still, Indian airlines? Maybe, but there are better answers. There are competitors that can hurt all these airlines and others not mentioned. The answer is videoconferencing and telepresence services of HP and Cisco. Travel dropped due to recession. Senior IT executives in India and abroad were compelled by their head quarters to use videoconferencing to shrink travel budget. So much so, that the mad scramble for American visas from Indian techies was nowhere in sight in 2008. (India has a quota of something like 65,000 visas to the U.S. They were going a-begging. Blame it on recession!). So far so good. But to think that the airlines will be back in business post recession is something I would not bet on. In short term yes. In long term a resounding no. Remember, if there is one place where Newton's law of gravity is applicable besides physics it is in electronic hardware. Between 1977 and 1991 the prices of the now dead VCR (parent of Blue-Ray disc player) crashed to one-third of its original level in India. PC's price dropped from hundreds of thousands of rupees to tens of thousands. If this trend repeats then telepresence prices will also crash. Imagine the fate of airlines then. As it is not many are making money. Then it will surely be RIP!<br />India has two passions. Films and cricket. The two markets were distinctly different. So were the icons. The cricket gods were Sachin and Sehwag. The filmi gods were the Khans (Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and the other Khans who followed suit). That was, when cricket was fundamentally test cricket or at best 50 over cricket. Then came IPL and the two markets collapsed into one. IPL brought cricket down to 20 overs. Suddenly an IPL match was reduced to the length of a 3 hour movie.. Cricket became film's competitor. On the eve of IPL matches movie halls ran empty. Desperate multiplex owners requisitioned the rights for screening IPL matches at movie halls to hang on to the audience. If IPL were to become the mainstay of cricket, as it is likely to be, films have to sequence their releases so as not clash with IPL matches. As far as the audience is concerned both are what in India are called 3 hour "tamasha" (entertainment) . Cricket season might push films out of the market.<br />Look at the products that vanished from India in the last 20 years. When did you last see a black and white movie? When did you last use a fountain pen? When did you last type on a typewriter? The answer for all the above is "I don't remember!" For some time there was a mild substitute for the typewriter called electronic typewriter that had limited memory. Then came the computer and mowed them all. Today most technologically challenged guys like me use the computer as an upgraded typewriter. Typewriters per se are nowhere to be seen.<br />One last illustration. 20 years back what were Indians using to wake them up in the morning? The answer is "alarm clock." The alarm clock was a monster made of mechanical springs. It had to be physically keyed every day to keep it running. It made so much noise by way of alarm, that it woke you up and the rest of the colony. Then came quartz clocks which were sleeker. They were much more gentle though still quaintly called "alarms." What do we use today for waking up in the morning? Cellphone! An entire industry of clocks disappeared without warning thanks to cell phones. Big watch companies like Titan were the losers. You never know in which bush your competitor is hiding!<br />On a lighter vein, who are the competitors for authors? Joke spewing machines? (Steve Wozniak, the co-founder of Apple, himself a Pole, tagged a Polish joke telling machine to a telephone much to the mirth of Silicon Valley). Or will the competition be story telling robots? Future is scary! The boss of an IT company once said something interesting about the animal called competition. He said "Have breakfast …or…. be breakfast"! That sums it up rather neatly.......<br /><br /><p style="text-align:left;" class="getsocial"><a title="Add to Facebook" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://thefundoowriter.wordpress.com/2010/02/11/who-is-your-competitor-tomorrow/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img style="border:0;margin:0;padding:0;" src="http://getsocialserver.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/gs3015.png" alt="Add to Facebook" /></a><a title="Add to Digg" href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=http%3A%2F%2Fthefundoowriter.wordpress.com%2F2010%2F02%2F11%2Fwho-is-your-competitor-tomorrow%2F&title=Who%20is%20your%20Competitor%20tomorrow!!!%3F%3F%3F" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img style="border:0;margin:0;padding:0;" src="http://getsocialserver.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/gs3025.png" alt="Add to Digg" /></a><a title="Add to Del.icio.us" href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=http%3A%2F%2Fthefundoowriter.wordpress.com%2F2010%2F02%2F11%2Fwho-is-your-competitor-tomorrow%2F&title=Who%20is%20your%20Competitor%20tomorrow!!!%3F%3F%3F" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img style="border:0;margin:0;padding:0;" src="http://getsocialserver.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/gs3035.png" alt="Add to Del.icio.us" /></a><a title="Add to Stumbleupon" href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=http%3A%2F%2Fthefundoowriter.wordpress.com%2F2010%2F02%2F11%2Fwho-is-your-competitor-tomorrow%2F&title=Who%20is%20your%20Competitor%20tomorrow!!!%3F%3F%3F" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img style="border:0;margin:0;padding:0;" src="http://getsocialserver.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/gs3045.png" alt="Add to Stumbleupon" /></a><a title="Add to Reddit" href="http://reddit.com/submit?url=http%3A%2F%2Fthefundoowriter.wordpress.com%2F2010%2F02%2F11%2Fwho-is-your-competitor-tomorrow%2F&title=Who%20is%20your%20Competitor%20tomorrow!!!%3F%3F%3F" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img style="border:0;margin:0;padding:0;" src="http://getsocialserver.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/gs3055.png" alt="Add to Reddit" /></a><a title="Add to Blinklist" href="http://www.blinklist.com/index.php?Action=Blink/addblink.php&Description=&Url=http%3A%2F%2Fthefundoowriter.wordpress.com%2F2010%2F02%2F11%2Fwho-is-your-competitor-tomorrow%2F&Title=Who%20is%20your%20Competitor%20tomorrow!!!%3F%3F%3F" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img style="border:0;margin:0;padding:0;" src="http://getsocialserver.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/gs3065.png" alt="Add to Blinklist" /></a><a title="Add to Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/home/?status=Who%20is%20your%20Competitor%20tomorrow!!!%3F%3F%3F+%40+http%3A%2F%2Fthefundoowriter.wordpress.com%2F2010%2F02%2F11%2Fwho-is-your-competitor-tomorrow%2F" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img style="border:0;margin:0;padding:0;" src="http://getsocialserver.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/gs3075.png" alt="Add to Twitter" /></a><a title="Add to Technorati" href="http://www.technorati.com/faves?add=http://thefundoowriter.wordpress.com/2010/02/11/who-is-your-competitor-tomorrow/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img style="border:0;margin:0;padding:0;" src="http://getsocialserver.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/gs3085.png" alt="Add to Technorati" /></a><a title="Add to Yahoo Buzz" href="http://buzz.yahoo.com/buzz?targetUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fthefundoowriter.wordpress.com%2F2010%2F02%2F11%2Fwho-is-your-competitor-tomorrow%2F&headline=Who%20is%20your%20Competitor%20tomorrow!!!%3F%3F%3F" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img style="border:0;margin:0;padding:0;" src="http://getsocialserver.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/gs3095.png" alt="Add to Yahoo Buzz" /></a><a title="Add to Newsvine" href="http://www.newsvine.com/_wine/save?u=http%3A%2F%2Fthefundoowriter.wordpress.com%2F2010%2F02%2F11%2Fwho-is-your-competitor-tomorrow%2F&h=Who%20is%20your%20Competitor%20tomorrow!!!%3F%3F%3F" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img style="border:0;margin:0;padding:0;" src="http://getsocialserver.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/gs3105.png" alt="Add to Newsvine" /></a></p>Abhinabahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03018961417528573781noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27629275.post-63816221641060125432010-02-09T20:20:00.000+05:302010-02-18T14:12:28.770+05:30A must have application: TweetDeck<a href="http://thefundoowriter.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/tweetdeck.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-891" title="tweetDeck" src="http://thefundoowriter.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/tweetdeck.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="180" /></a>Here in tweet deck you can link your social and professional network sites like twitter, linked, myspace, facebook.

I think 90% of you people have watched it. Many say that it is one the wrong education system of India. From my point of view it is not, it is on the system that is there inside your mind.<br /><br />Here in India whenever you want to do something out of box, either you will be slapped by your parents, family or someone very close to you. Take the character of Madhavan, he wanted to be a photographer but because of his parents he went to engineering college. They forcefully stopped him to be a photographer. Have you watched <a title="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fashion_%28film%29" target="_blank">Fashion</a>? The same story here also, Priyanka Chopra’s parent was not willing to send her to the fashion industry. She has guts to protest so she did, many don’t have so they lie.<br /><br />So, my last paragraph was all about some examples and one word out of the box thinking. Now here I want to elaborate the meaning Out Of the Box Thinking. Tell me who is the last Nobel laureate from India? Yes from India, 100% India, I am not asking about someone who got Nobel from some other country but an Indian. It is C.V. Raman, 1930, pre independence. Name few scientists, some photographers, and some Olympic medal winner, top in literature, poet, director, ad magnets, fashion designers, or some other well known people in the world working in India, for India and are Indian. You will get few; we are 100 cr people, so now calculate the percentage of people who think out of the box.<br /><br />So India is shining right? We have a big boom in IT industry right? So actually what is the position of the Indian software engineers in world, let’s discuss about that. You know names of the big IT giants of India; name at least one software, designed and marketed by them, name one innovation. Name one chip designed by an Indian company, one mobile, anything innovative in this web world. Actually we are C graded slave of US, UK or Japan. The work what their people will do in 30 days, spending 30 rupee, we do that in 5 days, spending just one rupee. Things are their, innovations are their, estimations are their and we work as slave, come to office on Saturday and Sunday, work late night, and do whatever our big bosses (read gore langurs) tell us to make them happy. This is the story of service industry, even if in product companies also they don’t give important works to the Indians and we are happy with the easy works there, even most of the people don’t want to innovate something because their brains are already hibernated by the system.<br /><br />Now tell me why only few people are thinking out of the box, and others are not? I think there is the mystery. Many of us think out of the box but others force them not to think out of the box. Main reason for this is their past failure or they can’t think like that. Suppose you are a middle class guy and your girlfriend wants to be a model, will you support that? How many of you? Tell me the percentage. Now if you stop her forcefully, she won’t do that, because she loves you, but will you be able to stop her love towards that? Now if she does something like posing in front of camera not professionally though, she will never tell you, because she knows you will be hurt, you will never let her do that, so she lies. Does it mean she doesn’t love you? No, it means she fears you more than she loves. Same occurs for the parents too.<br />Many parents don’t want their child to become model, singer, and actor because they think they will be lost. And others who have the ability to become a scientist, they become a “A” graded software engineer because of our education system, and others those want to be something other than this, become C graded software engineer in some well reputed service company of India, get married with a bubbly girl and start the same cycle for the next generation. The cycle never ends.<br /><br />So what my suggestion is?<br />Please if you feel like a failure, don’t force others to be so.<br />If you feel that you are a successful person, don’t think everybody will be successful in your way. Don’t force your thinking to others, whoever they are.<br /><br />If you are being forced by someone, think again and again, it’s your life, so decision should be yours. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life...Abhinabahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03018961417528573781noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27629275.post-64093510012358305552010-01-23T03:51:00.000+05:302010-02-18T14:14:30.102+05:30Silhouette : Ude jab jab julfe teri<br /><div style="text-align:left;padding:3px;"><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/abhinabab/4295681091/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2629/4295681091_d6ebb4e5ef.jpg" style="border:solid 2px #000000;" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:.8em;margin-top:0;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/abhinabab/4295681091/">Silhouette : Ude jab jab julfe teri</a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/abhinabab/">abhinabab</a>.</span><br /></div><br /><p><br /><br /></p>Abhinabahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03018961417528573781noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27629275.post-68196582989681373012010-01-19T23:06:00.000+05:302010-02-18T14:14:30.102+05:30Free Yourself<br /><div style="text-align:left;padding:3px;"><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/abhinabab/4278913271/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2755/4278913271_c172b7e4b3.jpg" style="border:solid 2px #000000;" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:.8em;margin-top:0;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/abhinabab/4278913271/">Free Yourself</a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/abhinabab/">abhinabab</a>.</span><br /></div><br /><p><br /><br /></p>Abhinabahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03018961417528573781noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27629275.post-34016946957742835602010-01-19T23:05:00.000+05:302010-02-18T14:14:30.103+05:30Solar Eclipse 15th Jan, 2010<br /><div style="text-align:left;padding:3px;"><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/abhinabab/4277047298/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2471/4277047298_95f6cd36a6.jpg" style="border:solid 2px #000000;" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:.8em;margin-top:0;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/abhinabab/4277047298/">Solar Eclipse 15th Jan, 2010</a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/abhinabab/">abhinabab</a>.</span><br /></div><br /><p><br /><br /></p>Abhinabahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03018961417528573781noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27629275.post-8496934578449812692010-01-06T17:15:00.000+05:302010-02-18T14:12:28.771+05:30Jyoti Basu Dead ?<img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-855" title="jyoti-basu" src="http://thefundoowriter.wordpress.com/files/2010/01/jyoti-basu.png?w=249" alt="" width="249" height="300" />Jyoti Basu is reported to be dead as per the latest information recovered.

He was admitted to the Salt Lake AMRI Hospital in Kolkata for the aforesaid pneumonic infection.<br /><br />The death news of the iconic figure will be shocking to many of his followers as he was the pioneer of Leftist movement in India. The West Bengal Govt. is preparing for the mourning.<br /><br />Jyoti Basu was the member of CPI (M) Politburo from the founding time of 1964 till 2008 and served as the longest Chief Minister of India from 1977 to 2000.Abhinabahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03018961417528573781noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27629275.post-5929900462067789032010-01-04T02:01:00.000+05:302010-02-18T14:14:03.713+05:30Good Bye 2009Ohh what a year it was, amazing.

This is a famous cake shop in the city. I was there to buy a cake for Mahi, day after was her birthday. Mahi is a friend of mine, actually very close friend of mine. It was already 10 PM and I was in a hurry as I don't have any vehicle and I have to go to Ejipura, that is a big distance, more than 3 KM. I got the cake at 10:15 night. Actually I wanted to spend that night with Mahi only, but what to do, she already had a date. I started walking towards my place thinking those things.</p><br /><p><strong>15<sup>th</sup> August night 10:25</strong></p><br /><p>While walking I was thinking, what I am going to do special for her tomorrow. I called up Indrani and started talking to her. In my right hand it was the cake and my left hand was busy holding the mobile. Now I was in the lane between 80ft road and the Koramangala club.</p><br /><p>Suddenly I felt something in my neck, something may be <em>crispy</em>. Before understanding something I found some five people have covered me, and one guy already taken my lovely HTC Touch. I don’t know what to do the guy who was holding me and was just saying “<em>Maa ch** dunga</em>”.</p><br /><p>Three guys left with the mobile and two more guys are still there. Then I realized it is a robbery. The other guy who was not holding me tried to get the cake bag from me. I don’t know what happened I suddenly, with my full <em>josh</em> punched him at his nose, it was bleeding, not his nose but my hand, I punched on his teeth, bull shit. I don’t know what happened then, the guys started running and the second guy also followed him.</p><br /><p>I was not sad; I pat myself for fighting for the cake. And suddenly I started laughing, what the hell I did dear, I didn’t fight for the mobile which costs twenty thousand, but I fought for the cake, I bought for Mahi’s birthday, why?</p><br /><blockquote><p>I thanked those robbers for putting me in that situation, and what they did to me is they made me realize what I love, and who my priority is.</p></blockquote><br /><p>Oh Mahi please! Don’t say that, it was the cake.</p><br /><p>___________________________________________________________________________</p><br /><p><em>A real story, I put it here to participate in the blogger competition.

It is Vibes day today, and everybody in office is happy about that. I was having lunch with my group Pradeep and Srinivas and discussing about that the all other guys will be coming for the Vibes and we are going to meet them. Pradeep loves a girl Prativa, she is also coming. I am ready with my newly bought digi-cam. Pradeep told us we can start at 2’o clock and reach there by 2:30 at the place. I am not at all interested in Vibes, but I am interested in meeting old mates and noodle group.<br /><br />But as usual 2:30 we started and then my favourite jam in Hosur Road, so we reached there at around 3:30. The program has already begun. I don’t have any wish to go inside the hall; I lit a cigarette and started enjoying it.<br /><br />- Hey Benny. – This one is for me. My name is Akash Bannerjee and my friends call me Benny.<br />- Hey Geeta long time, how are you?<br />- I am fine man. So how r you doing in Archway? Making some big if else?<br />- Ha ha, not really. I am now concentrating on the security side.<br />- Oh! That’s cool. You are going to be a hacker or something.<br />- Hey I am working on security doesn’t mean I can hack. Hacking is totally different think all total, see…<br />- Please bandh karo apna pravachan, we are here to enjoy.<br />- Hey guys, wassup? – Asha joins us.<br />- Hi Asha, this guy started again with his technical stuff.<br />- Hey, he is a geek.<br />- I know, I know, you are biased.<br />- I am not biased…<br /><br />Hey I am so lucky, two girls discussing about me, and this girl Asha thinks I am the new generation Einstein. But I am feeling bored, I need to go home.<br /><br />- Hey nice song, who is singing that?<br />- Yeah, really nice. Chalo lets go, Benny are you coming?<br />- No, you people go.<br /><br />I am speechless, I am speechless, I am speechless, don’t get bored readers, my thinking machine stops working. What a voice and I don’t know what other things are there, I want to see her alone, I don’t want any disturbance. I slowly started moving toward the hall. The song is coming closer and closer, my heart beat is increasing higher and higher.<br /><br />The hall is full of audiences; they are shouting and whistling like anything. A girl is on the stage. Her legs created a pyramid structure. She is in a blue top and a jeans, may be denim colour, the colours and all are not recognizable from this distance, and also light is very low and coloured on the stage, so I don’t know she is fair or dark but yes she has some thing, she is some thing, but who is she?<br /><br />- Hey Benny, what are you doing? Come dance with us… Pradeep is shouting from front row.<br />- Just shut up.<br />- Oh maal dekh raha hai?<br />- Shut up yaar!<br />- What happened?<br />- Nothing. I am not watching, just listening.<br />- So the song is good right?<br />- Don’t know but the singer is.<br />- Benny, are you in love?<br />- I don’t know. It can be love or crush; I have to find it out.<br />- Chup Sale! You and your philosophy!<br />- What’s her name?<br />- Who knows! Coming for a sutta?<br />- Chal…<br />- But she is a maal.<br />- I don’t know but yeah, what is her name?<br />- How did I know?<br />- Maahiya…<br />- What? How do you know?<br />- The song she was singing Mahiya… Let her call in that name only.<br />- Wah re wah... Carry on.<br /><br />We reached the tea stall, Pradeep ordered for tea and cigarette.<br /><br /><em>To be continued.</em>Abhinabahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03018961417528573781noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27629275.post-68735218862426000622009-11-02T14:51:00.001+05:302010-02-17T01:15:01.320+05:30Maahi - Chapter one<b>Chapter One<br />
In the train from Howrah to Yashavantpura.<br />
</b><br />
It is very difficult now days to get a proper seat, whatever it is AC or not. I have a journey of long 36 hours and I got the RAC seat, I call it Jab We Met seat. If the guy next to me is some budha, then I am gone, I have to sleep the whole 36 hours.<br />
<br />
Here comes my number 36. What a coincidence 36 hours on the seat number 36! As I thought in seat number 37 there is middle age bald guy, with whom I don’t want to talk. A deep sleep is waiting for me.<br />
<br />
- Hi, Mr Akash. I am just shocked hearing my name in his mouth.<br />
- Hello, but I don’t think I know you.<br />
- You are absolutely correct. We don’t know each other; we are meeting for the first time I guess.<br />
- What the fuck, then how do you know my name?<br />
- I have checked the passenger’s list.<br />
<br />
Damn it. I have to spend 36 hrs with this idiot.<br />
- So as I know your name, you might be interested about me too – stranger said.<br />
I shrugged, who wants to know about this bloody fucker but I know he is going to tell me anyway.<br />
- My name can be anything but for the time being you can call me Vivek.<br />
- As in?<br />
- Slow friend slow, I will let you know the story. Actually I am thinking that we can play a game, game is like you will tell me your story then I will tell you my story.<br />
Who wants to discuss personal with this Vivek or whoever? But I was really upset today, so I thought OK we can give a chance.<br />
- So I think I can guess something about you.<br />
- Obviously, tell me.<br />
- You are very upset today.<br />
- Yes I am.<br />
- Anything personal?<br />
- Yeah lil but I can tell you, you are a Stranger. Sometimes it is easy to say personal things to Strangers.<br />
- Yeah that’s true. So …<br />
- So, today is her wedding.<br />
- Whose? Your girlfriend’s?<br />
- No, not girlfriend, a friend.<br />
- Whom you love, and she doesn’t right?<br />
- Yeah, true.<br />
- So u r from Calcutta and leaving, so that you don’t have to attend?<br />
- No, I am from Bangalore. I just came here for her call.<br />
- I didn’t get it, for a call means what?<br />
- Ok…<br />
I took a little pause.<br />
- I thought of eloping her but she didn’t call.<br />
- I didn’t get you still.<br />
- Then you have to listen the whole story.<br />
- Ok carry on.<br />
<br />
The train whistles and its starts for its destination.<br />
