BLENDER’S PRIDE FISHING STORY( nice one)

I finally got around to going fishing this morning but after a while I
ran out of worms.

Then I saw a cottonmouth snake with a frog in his mouth, and frogs are
good bass bait.

Knowing the snake couldn't bite me with the frog in his mouth, I grabbed
him right behind the head, took the frog and put it in my bait bucket.

Now the dilemma was how to release the snake without getting bit.

I grabbed my bottle of Blender’s Pride and poured a little whiskey in
its mouth.

His eyes rolled back, he went limp, I released him into the lake without
incident, And carried on my fishing with the frog.

A little later I felt a nudge on my foot.

There was that same snake with two frogs in his mouth.

Eight Mighty Moves to Strip Tease

You know you have thought of it, and he's certainly thought of it. But how do you conduct striptease for your partner not looking, and feeling nervous, but like a pro? Just make these moves

1) SET THE SCENE

Email or text your partner earlier in the day and set a time for him to be home. Ask him to buy a bottle of wine and have it on ice by the time you get home. When you're nearing home ask him to put on your chosen music so that it plays when you are sashay in home. Tell him to turn down the bright lights and wait for you on the couch. Take a deep breath and a liquid courage and make the entry. Carelessly throw your bag into a corner and undo your hair. Sashay around the room and make figure eights with your hips. Flip up your hair back and feel proud.

2) JUST PLAY ABOUT A BIT

Have one item of clothing, say a tie or a scarf to play about with. Run it through your fingers, over your shoulders and your hips, arching your back. You can use it as a blindfold or tie him up with it later.

3) THE STRIPPING BEGINS

Take off your top very slowly, but not completely off. Turn your back to him and look over your shoulder to him as you do this. Unbutton and shrug your shoulder gently so that it slides off. Remove one hand at a time but don’t drop it. Turn around to face him with your hands covering the bra and breasts. Remove the top completely and drop it to the floor.

4) THE SKIRT GOES

Turn your back to him again and slowly unzip your skirt. Don’t wriggle out of it. Just arch your back and slide it off. Let it lie on the floor and step out of it.

5) NOW OFF GO THE HEELS

Remember to wear something preferably heels, that don’t require to say "Time-please" and then bend over to remove the buckle, just lift each leg behind you, an take them off by clasping the back of the angle. Throw one at him to catch.

6) STOCKINGS COME NEXT

Now sidle up near him, and maintain your eye contact all the time. Put one leg on the armrest next to him or on the couch. Slowly roll down the stocking giving him the look that says? "Wouldn’t you like to do this?" Slip it off your heel and unfurl it around his neck so that he can smell you

7) NOW DOWN TO BASICS

The concept is to slowly unwrap a present that is YOU. Take as long as you can with this one. Face him and shrug of your bra straps. Turn around and look over your shoulder. Snap open the clasp, but let bra remain in place. Now turn to him with an arm across your chest, and zip out the bra from underneath. Look Wicked, and slowly reveal.

8) THE LAST ONE TO GO

Now this one is again tricky because undies tend to curl into a menacing web that grips you. Stand with your feet apart, and looks better if you have slipped back into your heels. Slip in your fingers and stretch them away from your body. Take them off while keeping them stretched. Once past the knees, let them fall to your feet. Step out slowly one foot at a time. (Don’t wear a stingy thong, this act might get messed up)

9) VICTORY LAP

Don’t just rush into act now. Sway around caressing your body and slowly undo his dress, believe me once this is done, he won’t be able to stand it any more.

10 reasons why India still wont become a superpower in next 20 years

1.Religious extremism: Long term trends indicate that liberals and moderates in every religious community in India are on the defensive.

2. Left wing extremism: Extremism in the form of the Naxalite movement, which is a result of geographical reasons and also social and political forces, owing to the continued dispossession and deprivation of tribal people in India.

3. Corruption: The corruption and corrosion of the power center in India, as a result of political parties functioning as family firms rather than open, transparent political systems.

4. Decline of public institutions: This includes universities, police, civil services, the judiciary (except for higher judiciary) etc.

5. Rich-poor divide: The increasing gap between the rich and the poor which is particularly manifested through farmer suicides in India, a phenomenon that has become pervasive only in the last 10-15 years, perhaps because there is now the expectation of a 'good life' that did not exist before.

6. Environmental degradation: The degradation at a local level, which is impacting people's lives in very real ways, whether in the form of massive depletion of underground aquifers, chemical contamination of soil, death of rivers, loss of species etc.

7. Apathy of the media: Apathy in covering issues of rising income inequality, environmental degradation.

8. Political chaos: The political fragmentation manifests as coalition governments at both the central and regional levels, which makes it very difficult to forge sustainable long term policies in the realm of health, education, etc.

9. Border disputes: India's unresolved border disputes, especially in Kashmir and the North East (Nagaland and Manipur) which indicates that there are parts of India that are not comfortable with being part of India.

10. Unstable neighbour: India's increasingly unstable neighbourhood is another serious impediment to our superpower ambitions.

Be careful with Indian Oil Petrol pumps on Airport Road Bangalore (Kodihalli and Domlur)

This is to describe how the Indian Oil Petrol pumps at Airport road make money by fooling people. I recently got a two wheeler with my nominal savings. My focus was on economy alone. The closest pump to my house is the Indian Oil Pump at Domlur and Diamond District.
The use of my vehicle is usually limited to my office travel alone(which is really close). I had a vague idea about my tank capacity. The fuel in my tank lasts for a week and I refill it every Friday. I always request a full tank fill.

Now some days i notice the guy tries to deviate my concentration with questions like Cash or card or repeat the question on how much to fill. Now a different guy will be doing the filling job. When ever this happens he fills only 50Rs and stops. Now he behaves as if he heard it 50 Rs and made a mistake and now fills the rest to the brim something equivalent to 175Rs. So total 175(Actual) + 50(fake) = 225/-

I happily drove off without even a sign that i was fooled. Now some days these people do fill Full tank continuously without making the hearing mistake and my total cost is 165 to 180 and not more than that. This made me bit suspicious. SO i started monitoring and recording the data

Week1 172.50 (Continuous Fill)
Week2 180 (Continuous Fill)
week3 165 (Continuous Fill)
Week4 230 (50Rs Break Fill)
Week5 225 (50Rs Break Fill)
Week6 167 (Continuous Fill)
week7 165 (Continuous Fill)

Now why is this happening that i pay more when they don’t listen properly. Today I decided to go to the Domlur Pump and filled my tank full. It was a Continuous Fill (162 Rs). I drove nearly 1 km for the heck of it and then went to the airport Indian Oil pump at (Kodihalli). I told him Full tank again. I am so sure he cannot fill 50 Rs worth petrol because its goanna overflow but the story repeated. He tried to deviate my concentration and changed the dial to 50. Now one more thing you can notice is when he really fills you can feel the vibration of the fuel falling in your 2 wheeler. This is absent always for the initial 50 Rs.
This time I am convinced that there is no new fuel added in my bike and I tried to make a scene over there using my limited vocabulary of gaaly , the guy panicked and gave me back the money and said a quick sorry and started catering the next customer as if nothing has happened. Any ways finally I saved my 50 bucks. So I came back home. But then there are many who are still not aware about this. So I thought to blog it, a simple effort from my side hoping for change. Also when I look at my experience I guess, if there is only one guy to cater you then the chances of fooling this way is less.
It’s sad to know that in India it’s not only tough to earn your bread, but to even more tough to maintain it safe. May be this is not just an issue with Indian Oil pumps alone. But wish some kind of sting operation is done to catch the corrupt guys. Hope my blog will throw some light on the management of IOC to put an effort in the same direction.

Some water for my deserted blog

I guess it was a few years back on the same eve I thought of starting a blog. I thought New year time is the best time to make resolutions and may be demolition of your sins of the year and to start as a new brand again. The reality check says that the story started but never went well every time, or rather there was a consistency of irregularity both in my blog and life. You could never ever predict when I blog and it would be a long wait, if you ever thought to read it (Any ways , I guess no one does that). So I decided to start again. But this reminded me of my teachers in primary school. “Rajeev , how many times I need to tell you , analyze and understand your mistakes before you start again” If they get to see me ,they might say that I never learned it till day. But this time I decided to jot down the reasons why I didn’t feel like blogging. Here it goes

1)I am a person who always like to be the way I am,, lazy and human
2)I wasn’t really sure if my blog is of a real priority or passion.
3)My 24 hrs was actually well allocated with tight deadlines in my previous company and when you live with a group of bachelors, where do you have time for something like this, especially after the regular fun activities.
4)Like any confused average computer engineer, I had my confusions whether to do an MBA now or later, to start a business now or later, and to get married now or later. Well none of the above problems are clearly resolved till now. I guess that gives a clear picture about me right?

Now since I already know my problems I need to find my own solutions. After giving a thought on a few solutions, I finalized some simple solutions for the above 4 problems.

1)This cannot be changed until I measure it. But how will I measure it. I guess its simple just take the count of things I wanted to do myself and the count of things I did it. To my surprise it was none. I was just swaying in the wind, and moving with the crowd. This is not going to work well.
What does that mean? I have been reacting to my surroundings and swinging to my own emotions like any normal man.
Solution: Do one thing I want to do this year. Make a cautious effort to tie down my emotions.
2)This was easy, it’s because blogging wasn’t my priority even though I have a passion for ijavascript:void(0)t.
3)No time to breathe, that was my life after work and travel in my previous company. Finally I quit the company and picked a new company near my residential area which has a better prospect.
4)Still confused , But to reduce the confusion, took some decisions , MBA within next 4 years, Business within next 10 years , well this was difficult to fix a time ,,,finally the last one ,,,its human nature to solve easier ones earlier and tackle the tough one later. Marriage is a more complicated process and needs more analysis to get a better understanding :)

Markets crashed heavily 1200 points in 3 days

You can’t expect the so-called BULL RUN in markets every time. Life is not meant to be fruitful every time.It has to have ups and downs, and unless we don't correct our downs, we would never see the up's again. I just hope the market would recover. Whenever the markets reach the break-even point, you can see high volatility in the market. It’s the warning for the Crash. All the principles are so analogous to every ones life. Some thing you certainly observe in Large Caps is that there are lots of experts to manage the company. And so it’s always traditionally recommended to invest in such large caps, so that you have a reasonable improvement in returns through out lifetime. It doesn’t mean that they wont crash, but yeah the chances are less, since the expert managements constantly monitor them. Now small caps is the one what most people love to invest, because if its a success its the best. The chances of success depend on how the company performs in one year and how well it projects for the future. If its turn over was very consistent and expected, then its your best time, don’t hesitate to invest looking for a better time. But yeah most of the investors are scared of small caps and mid caps because of the volatility it has. Always a small group does the end-to-end management of small caps. Hence the chances of success depend on the commitment of the entrepreneurs who drive it. If a good committed team, which has patience and quick learning capabilities, drives the small caps then the profits and growth rate would be soaring, and nothing could stop them. You are said to be good analyst when you can & know these fluctuations come and when they settle down. If you don’t know the “How To”'s you might loose money and you life too. But you would rarely learn without experience either.

The Right Time

People say wait for the right opportunity, So that you can get the most out of it. If its a pure luck game , then it might be true. Otherwise if you keep waiting the opportunity might never come.
But if its a challenge then better work to make the opportunity more predictive and precise. My parents tell me stick to what you do, your growth would be slow and steady. My PM says jump into the challenges, take it up ,and try to deliver,, so that you are not new to it the next time. But the question is where to draw the line between these two. No body gives the bullet proof formula to success. Why? Simply because it keeps on changing and hence challenging. In this environment if i ever go slow and steady, I won’t be able to take up any of the serious challenges; if I jump into it there is a risk that I might fall. Dilemma is still on. Let’s see how it goes
