Welcome 2009

I recently realised that Subhiksha is in trouble. They ran out of cash. The other day I had read RS say somewhere, our margins are 5% in an industry where the average margins are 2.5%, so we are doing well. Times, they change.

One of the problems with my lifestyle is that i do not read newspapers regularly..mostly on weekends. Because there is no real logic as to why do they need to publish them daily, or even 2 times a day for that matter, wouldn't once a week suffice. Also mostly because it is gibberish.

A: So how much did you earn in your previous job. So why did you leave it. What is your salary. The problem with opportunities is that when they come we don't take them and when we want them, they disappear. Don't do that. Do that this way.

B( Chatterbox) : You don't talk much. Can you get a job for my wife, she is BE computers, yes a fresher. So what is the model number of the phone. what all songs do you have. Please use bluetooth and transfer the songs, i don't know how to so please do it yourself, i will tell you my choice of songs. I never call it bombay, i always call it mumbai. I work in RBI. I work in printing shop. I am the machine operator. Kasab should be shot dead. All the five fingers are not identical.

C:( Engineer going for SSB interview) The market is very bad for freshers. Everybody asks for experience, if nobody gives us a chance from where can we get any experience. Since nobody has any job, everybody is trying for an MBA.

C( 42-46, swimming coach): You should not run away from hijras. I hate all policewallas and lawyers.

D( Lawyer): In law a man is not guilty till proven otherwise. Prosecution needs to prove Kasab is guilty. There is a system, that has to be followed.

S: Yeah, she will tell her parents sometime. I might marry by late 2010.

I : what changed

S : Nothing. Period .

A: There is nothing called Kal Sarp Yog in Indian Vedas. It is when all your planets are on one side of the horoscope, it looks like a snake. The probability that it will be such in a horoscope is more than 60%. That's it. Shani need not neccessarily be bad, it is merely a period where you are rewarded for your good deeds and punished for your bad ones. Shani is always nyayapriya.

I : Go tell my mom all this.
