Who says luck doesn’t matter?

With a pile of 300 résumés on his desk and a need to pick someone quickly, my boss told me to make calls on the bottom 50 and toss the rest. “Throw away 250 résumés?” I asked, shocked. “What if the best candidates are in there?” “You have a point,” he said. “But then again, [...]



The story of Social Justice

By debashish • Feb 2nd, 2007 • Category: Entertainment

I normally do not post email forwards but this one is bitterly tickling, whoever wrote this has a great career ahead as a satirist IMHO. OLD VERSION… The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant’s a fool [...]



It’s time…

Ok, I agree, this was in poor taste. It would have been suited for a April fool post but I guess anytime is good time for some fun. (Via)

Game-shows on Indian telly: hot again

By debashish • Oct 26th, 2005 • Category: Entertainment

KBC has been the impetus for all the Game shows on the Indian tele, but none could fare better. Channels were in a tizzy during KBC?s first spell, desperate for their share of the pie they went ahead with hastily assembled murky imitations like one hosted by Anupam Kher on Zee or the one by [...]



So u got a good memory, huh?

Very few organisations would go out of the way to provide additional facilities to their customers. Obviously Paypal is one such organisation. It gives you the facility to, guess what, forget your password. So if you were too proud of having an elephant's memory, accept the challenge

Jivha posted an interesting piece (or was it the Kournikova stuff?) on the significance of Titles of blog-posts. I can't agree more with him.

Things people do

What's the big deal about GMail? Even Rediff Mail now has the coveted 1 GB tag. I think the craze for a GMail account is only beacuse you can lay hands on it from an invite (if you were not lucky enought to have used Blogger.com services i.e). Today I got this funny mail from [...]



Care for a Kopi?

This is hilarious! If you're bored of your regular cup of Java here is something different. Try Kopi Luwak! Kopi (the Indonesian word for coffee) Luwak comes from the islands of Sumatra, Java and goes through a pretty unique harvesting process. The beans are infact, “fermented in the intestines of the civet cat, also called [...]

Strange are the ways of Google! Here is another compilation of some of the funny referrers I got in past few months (typos are deliberate): b a t h n i g secnes from indian cinema aruna irani mother tongue Singh and spam and false name email addresses of tractors management officers in india what [...]
