'One thing I like about Shah Rukh Khan' contest@maktion

SHAH RUKH KHAN.
Yes, you read it right. It is 'the' opening line of this post, nothing before, nothing after, no hyperlinks, no link backs, just Shah Rukh Khan. This post comes at a time when the entire nation (and world) is preparing to meet their new superhero - G.One take on baddie RA.One! But before putting on the G.One suit, our SRK has donned many roles, some mind blowing, some that forced tears out of your eyes, some that inspired many to stretch to win and some that just made you laugh. Only SRK could do that in one lifetime.

I am nobody without my hair, I just love them!

'Aur kitna waqt lagega?' Barber: 'Sa'ab, paanch minute lagenge, aap baithiye idhar, inke baad aap hi ka number hai.' Me: 'Hmm, theek hai. India khel rahee hai (looking at the TV), kya lagta hai kaun jitega?' Barber: 'Sa'ab, Sehwag chala gaya ab sab kuch Gambhir ke upar hai, balla chalega toh jeet sakte hain hum'. Me: 'Chalega, chalega! Gambhir itni furti ke saath khel raha hai, mujhe lagta hai ki hum nikaal lenge.' Barber: 'Haan sa'ab, aa jaiye, ab aapka number hai.' Me: 'Tight rakhna, peeche se square, side se sharp and upar se medium - bilkul pichli baar ki tarah, aur dheere daudana apni kainchi, koi jaldi nahi hai' Barber: 'Jee sa'ab, bilkul yaad hai. Apna sar aaghe kijiye, thoda side mein.' (with a smile).

iOwe you Steve, iWrite to thank you - Non-Apple'er

Dear Steve,

i was studying Sales Management in our Business School library back in 2007 and found it utterly routine and monotonous. A company makes a product, the Marketer weaves a marketing plan around it and finally the Salesman pushed it on the ground in a completely different way. No matter what people did here in India, this cycle remained the same. One or two successful deviations might have happened but they were never reported in textbooks or perhaps our Teacher never told us fearing we would not be able to survive if we adopt a path less chosen.

Domino's Pizza ruckus over Re.1 screws evening

A wonderful weekend with lot of activities, some good reading, home movies with late night Coke & Lays, reading some interesting things on Gandhiji, talking to friends, helping a young HR trainee Samantha on Twitter (Follow her @Springurl86) with her assignment followed by attending my Real Estate agent's new office opening ceremony. This was till 8:00pm on Sunday, October 2, 2011. My sister had gone to her Office's weekend picnic and I thought I'd give her a surprise once she returns by ordering some new Pizza variants along with some pastry or something.
