"Why do you want to work here?"

And here I saw the funniest comment,

That reminded me of a joke,

Having seen the guy's small instrument, girl asks "Who do you think you'll satisfy with this thing", the guy replies "Me of course..."

The question you raised is another version of that story. I always reply such a question with honesty.

Based on the information, the job / project allows application of a new technology, new opportunities, pays good, pays normal and I'm broke, I give the right answer.

Who is your Competitor tomorrow!!!???

Who is your Competitor tomorrow!!!??? - An interesting article By Y. L. R. MOORTHI, Prof IIM Bangalore

Enjoy reading..!!

"Have Breakfast… or…Be Breakfast!"

Who sells the largest number of cameras in India?
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.
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.
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).
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.
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?
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?"
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."
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.......

Why people in India hide the truth?

First let me ask you one question, did you watch 3 Idiots? 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.

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 Fashion? 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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

So what my suggestion is?
Please if you feel like a failure, don’t force others to be so.
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.

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...

The most masaaledaar incident of my life: The day I got robbed

August 15th 2009

I was at Sweet Chariot, Koramangala. 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.

15^th August night 10:25

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.

Suddenly I felt something in my neck, something may be crispy. 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 “Maa ch** dunga”.

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 josh 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.

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?

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.

Oh Mahi please! Don’t say that, it was the cake.

Aztecsoft Vibes: 2007

Last three months were very hectic for me as I had a break up and I was unable to forget her, Kanika. 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.

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.

-    Hey Benny. – This one is for me. My name is Akash Bannerjee and my friends call me Benny.
-    Hey Geeta long time, how are you?
-    I am fine man. So how r you doing in Archway? Making some big if else?
-    Ha ha, not really. I am now concentrating on the security side.
-    Oh! That’s cool. You are going to be a hacker or something.
-    Hey I am working on security doesn’t mean I can hack. Hacking is totally different think all total, see…
-    Please bandh karo apna pravachan, we are here to enjoy.
-    Hey guys, wassup? – Asha joins us.
-    Hi Asha, this guy started again with his technical stuff.
-    Hey, he is a geek.
-    I know, I know, you are biased.
-    I am not biased…

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.

-    Hey nice song, who is singing that?
-    Yeah, really nice. Chalo lets go, Benny are you coming?
-    No, you people go.

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.

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?

-    Hey Benny, what are you doing? Come dance with us… Pradeep is shouting from front row.
-    Just shut up.
-    Oh maal dekh raha hai?
-    Shut up yaar!
-    What happened?
-    Nothing. I am not watching, just listening.
-    So the song is good right?
-    Don’t know but the singer is.
-    Benny, are you in love?
-    I don’t know. It can be love or crush; I have to find it out.
-    Chup Sale! You and your philosophy!
-    What’s her name?
-    Who knows! Coming for a sutta?
-    Chal…
-    But she is a maal.
-    I don’t know but yeah, what is her name?
-    How did I know?
-    Maahiya…
-    What? How do you know?
-    The song she was singing Mahiya… Let her call in that name only.
-    Wah re wah... Carry on.

We reached the tea stall, Pradeep ordered for tea and cigarette.

To be continued.

Chapter One
In the train from Howrah to Yashavantpura.

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.

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.

-    Hi, Mr Akash. I am just shocked hearing my name in his mouth.
-    Hello, but I don’t think I know you.
-    You are absolutely correct. We don’t know each other; we are meeting for the first time I guess.
-    What the fuck, then how do you know my name?
-    I have checked the passenger’s list.

Damn it. I have to spend 36 hrs with this idiot.
-    So as I know your name, you might be interested about me too – stranger said.
I shrugged, who wants to know about this bloody fucker but I know he is going to tell me anyway.
- My name can be anything but for the time being you can call me Vivek.
- As in?
- 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.
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.
-    So I think I can guess something about you.
-    Obviously, tell me.
-    You are very upset today.
-    Yes I am.
-    Anything personal?
-    Yeah lil but I can tell you, you are a Stranger. Sometimes it is easy to say personal things to Strangers.
-    Yeah that’s true. So …
-    So, today is her wedding.
-    Whose? Your girlfriend’s?
-    No, not girlfriend, a friend.
-    Whom you love, and she doesn’t right?
-    Yeah, true.
-    So u r from Calcutta and leaving, so that you don’t have to attend?
-    No, I am from Bangalore. I just came here for her call.
-    I didn’t get it, for a call means what?
-    Ok…
I took a little pause.
- I thought of eloping her but she didn’t call.
- I didn’t get you still.
- Then you have to listen the whole story.
- Ok carry on.

The train whistles and its starts for its destination.

If Human have Breeding Season

The breeding season is the most suitable season, usually with favorable conditions and abundant food and water, for breeding among some wild animals and birds. Species with a breeding season have naturally evolved to have sexual intercourse during a certain time of year in order to achieve the best reproductive success. Different species of wild animal and birds have different breeding seasons according to their particular requirements and food availability etc.

But we don’t have. Human also is an animal and if they have breeding season what would happen? Just Imagine.

What animal do is food for existence and exist for food. Sex is not a very romantic thing to them; it is just a way of reproduction. People work for food, but when we get more than what we need we start spending money for other things like fashion, hobbies etc. Today I see 99% people of my age is frustrated (whether girl or boy) because he/she is still virgin (talking about India). Situation wouldn’t be like this in that case.

-    No romance, no drama

Your eyes would have changed. How you see a gal/guy would have change. You always think about the food, not for your other pleasure. No dramatic situation, no love stories, no Romio-Juliet. What about Yash Chopra? Public will see his movie only for 2-3 months. Even shooting is a problem; Sharukh Khan can give expression only in those months. So the film you are shooting this year’s breeding season needs to be released in next year’s breeding season.

-    No family, no sas-bahu soap opera

Why do you need family, when you have only two months of SEX, who wants other burdens? So there is no Sas-Bahu nakhda, no mega. Think about Ekta Kapoor, she will be job less.

-    No fashion industry, no gym, no rona dhona

When you are not thinking about SEX, then why to watch bikini girls on ramp? They will be jobless and what about fashion designers and fashion photographers? Think they will click apple, mango photos, may be in bikinis also. Why we need to impress some one? We will get one in that time, no body will think all the year about SEX. So no need to go to gym, no need to fly to Noida from Bangalore to meet someone.

- No AIDS

Where did HIV [Human Immunodeficiency Virus] come from? Both of the AIDS viruses, HIV-1 and HIV-2, originated in Africa... As is often the case with microbes, a jump from one species to another is probably to blame... chimpanzees (for HIV-1) and sooty mangabeys (for HIV-2)... When did the AIDS epidemic begin?... the Big Bang seems to have occurred around, or just after, the Second World War. Emerging microbial infections often result from adaption to changing ecological niches and habitats.

AIDS actually a disease came from chimpanzees. I don't know who was the guy who had SEX with chimpanzee, but it was only for pleasure not for reproduction. So situation is like you will have SEX only for reproduction, then this couldn't have happen.

- No GAY, Lesbians

Those have SEX for pleasure too, no reproduction need gay or homo sexuality. So on that scenario the gay sex think couldn't be there.

-    No love/crush @ first sight

One girl is singing on the stage, and a guy is flat hearing that. He doesn’t know her, but he loves her music. He doesn’t know her name, so he gives her a nick name. The guy does many things to meet the girl, does many things to know her and after all they are friends, very good and close friends and then he came to know that she loves some one else. What a tragic but romantic story- bull shit, nothing would have happen if there is breeding season.

- Readers if you have many more things to suggest, please drop a comment.

Difference between a boyfriend and a male friend to a girl

In most cases, women's male friends are really just like boyfriends; she'll call to bend your ear when she's been hurt by her boyfriend, she'll call you to fix her car or if she needs a ride somewhere, she'll borrow money - in short she'll treat you just like a boyfriend - all without the sex!

What's your Rashee?

I got a forwarded mail yesterday subjected "Women and Sun-sign", stated different kind of girls of different signs. Actually I don't believe these bull shits at all still I started searching something on guys too. Don't get me wrong it is just to see my sign characteristics are matching with my own or not. See the below whatever I am going to write is not my word at all I can say I just composed all.

Who smiles through life - except when crossed?
Who knows, or thinks he knows the most?
Who loves good things: baked, boiled or roasted? Oh, Taurus!

One of the mottos of Taurus is "Take care of the senses and everything else will take care of itself". The outlook on life of this sun sign is very practical and sensible.

A Taurean is a loving and nurturing person. The keywords that best describe the personality of Taurus are luxury, comfort, sensibility, sensitivity, stability, loyalty and security.

A Taurus man would make a good husband and a father. His is good-tempered and rarely loses his temper; this is one of his finest qualities. In brief, a Taurus man is very much family-oriented and leads a successful personal life.

A Taurean woman is stylish and well-groomed. She is practical and money-conscious by nature. At times, she can be stubborn too. A Taurean woman has the ability to strike a balance between her family life and career. She is a sensible person who understands the feelings and emotions of people around her.

A few positive traits of Taurus are persistence, reliability, determination, trustworthiness, and affection. The negative traits are stubbornness, possessiveness, jealousness and greediness.

A Taurean likes good food, permanency, and all the comforts life can offer. He hates to break his routine or being rushed.

As a friend, a Taurean is very trustworthy and loyal. He would respect his friends. Basically a Taurean gets along with a person who shares his interests and tastes.

A Taurean is a good team player. Any employer would love to have a Taurean in his organization because an individual of this sun sign is hard-working and would never complain about his work. He is even ready to stay back if necessary. A person belonging to this star sign dislikes job-hopping.

It's perfectly true that the bull isn't a wild dreamer like the Aquarian male. Taurus will never sweep you off your feet like a Leo, or promise to take you floating away to live with him in a fairy castle, drifting on pink clouds forever and a day, like an Aries. He's more likely to drop by on foot some Saturday night, with the architect's blueprints for the house he plans to build for you, out of real lumber and with real cash.

A Taurus man is not only calm and quiet, but also humble and practical person. A Taurean man is not the one to fall in love at "first sight". He would take some time to decide when it comes to deciding his life partner. He prefers to take one step at a time. Once he decides on his heartthrob, he would go out of his way to win her love. A Taurus man would send flowers and also write love poems for his loved one. He is the epitome of cleanliness. He does not come back to a disorganized home.

A Taurus man would make you feel secure and he does not believe in taking chances. He would prefer a wife who is ladylike than a tomboyish wife. A Taurean man would not like to be dominated. He enjoys nature and beauty. As a father, he is a tender and loving person.

What is Love

It means making her happy. You can say that, but it is not so easy. Think she loves someone else, mad about him and want to go far just for him, although that guy doesn't respond properly. If you think she is mad, then you are not in love, you are just another selfish chap. Think about yourself, what could you do for her if you would in same situation? Got the answer? Yes that's true, you could do the same thing, what she is doing now. If you have a different answer then you don't love her, you just want her...

Improve your Presentation Skills

They expect a professional presentation, so they expect to see a ''professional.'' Dress appropriately for the occasion, but don't be one of the crowd.

- Wess Roberts

Prepare with care

To give a great presentation, you need great preparation. Start, by thinking about your topic and the audience and what they are most interested in. Then list your key points and write down the general structure of the presentation ahead.
If you need to, write down every word that you want to say and memorize it. Experienced presenters don't need to do this. But if you're a little nervous or you're new to presenting, then by writing everything down it will boost your confidence and settle your nerves on the day.

On the day

Take these 5 tips to give a fresh, vibrant presentation:

Get a good night sleep beforehand. Eat a healthy breakfast and try and free your schedule, so you're more relaxed going into it.
Before you present, spend 15 minutes going over your presentation.
Then concentrate on your breathing for 2 minutes. This focuses your thoughts, relaxes you and gets rid of any nerves.
Remember, the open and close of your presentation are the most important parts. So put in extra effort here, to make it memorable.
If you forget something or make a mistake, then never stop and apologize. Keep going and try and relax. It will soon be forgotten.

Body Language

It's said that 80% of a successful presentation is about body language, and only 20% is about content. So use these top tips to communicate the right message through your body:

Make eye contact with people at all times. Never stare at the ceiling or back of the room as you present, unless the nerves are too much.
Appear confident. Use an open stance, stand tall and proud. Smile and let your personality shine. Don't be overly formal.
Remember that relaxed body language conveys honesty and openness. So walk around a little and make use of props to hold onto.
Vary your voice and use slow, open hand gestures. Never have your hands in your pocket or play with a pen. Move your hands to an open position and then pause for effect.
Speak slowly and carefully, but passionately. If you're enthusiastic about the topic, then your listeners will be as well.

Spark Interaction

Encourage interaction with others during your presentation. By having others talk for a few seconds, it takes the focus off you temporarily, to let you clear your head and focus on the key points ahead. Another trick to clear your head is to pause while your team are reading a slide or considering key points you've just mentioned.

Remember, public speaking is one of the hardest things to master. But if you prepare carefully, take it slowly on the day and are enthusiastic about it, then you will deliver a powerful presentation to your colleagues.

Solve the problem yourself

Your ability to solve problems effectively determines how high you rise in your career.
-Brian Tracy

You get problems here and there. Tell me how many you solve yourself, with your friends or with your parents? Ask yourself. What I suggest is check the problems you are able to solve easily without help, and quickly. Now see these problems are from which field, yep that is your field. Choose that path as your career and set a decent goal.

Happy Breakup

Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened!

We can see the Indians are growing up, the Bollywood is growing up, the industry is growing up. This I start after listening the song Chor Bazari from Love Aaj Kal. I just shocked after listening it. One couple enjoying their break up, wow! I was thinking it is another milestone in Indian Film Industry as I never heard this kind of song and hats off to the guy who thought about it. But suddenly I thought that it is not one day change.

I was searching in my memory for the line of change and I got that. Remember the Move On ad of FastTrack? And this is the today's generation or what you say geNext.

Still I feel some people believe in true love. They fear about break up, they feel sad thinking about it, not noticing someone sitting in-front of him/her thinking about him/her, may be that is his/her true love he/she is searching for. The main reason of breakup I feel is fantasy, sometimes for free space, sometimes for public attention in all the cases more than average and less than average cause break up or sad life. Self satisfaction is one of the reason, not want to compromise or someone compromising more than what need to do.

Most people feel sad about their breakups because no one wants to be alone. There is only one medicine I can prescribe is another relation, but don't go fast, just sake of a relationship. I would suggest open your eyes, you will find someone who can do anything for you. If you don't want to pretend and ask, don't do just be with him or her, one day he/she will tell you. You have given yourself enough chances and nothing working, now give chance to someone else.

Move On and Happy Break Up...
