Death asked Life: "Why does everyone love you and hate me"
Life Replied: "Because I am a beautiful Lie and you are a painful Truth"

Warren Buffet's Comment on Ethical Values & Organizational Reputation
Copying this from a Yahoo Report on Warren Buffet (Link) as i feel this story and following comments needs to be remembered by all working men and women, particularly in light of what is happening today in the financial world with Wall Street under the scanner for starting the financial crisis in 2008:
In 1987, Berkshire bought $700 million of convertible preferred stock in Salomon Inc. Four years later, Buffett became interim chairman to restore order after a Treasury auction bidding scandal. On Sept. 4, 1991, Buffett testified before a subcommittee of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce about Salomon. Excerpts got into a movie created by Buffett's daughter Susie and shown to Berkshire shareholders at each annual meeting.

Excerpts got into a movie created by Buffett's daughter Susie and shown to Berkshire shareholders at each annual meeting.
In part, Buffett said the following:
"In the end, the spirit about compliance is as important, or more so, than words about compliance. I want the right words and I want the full range of internal controls. But I also have asked every Salomon employee to be his or her own compliance officer.
"After they first obey all rules, I then want employees to ask themselves whether they are willing to have any contemplated act appear the next day on the front page of their local paper, to be read by their spouses, children and friends, with the reporting done by an informed and critical reporter.
"If they follow this test, they need not fear my other message to them: Lose money for the firm and I will be understanding. Lose a shred of reputation for the firm and I will be ruthless."
Lets remember the great man's words for our own good...

Time Magazine's Quote on Sachin Tendulkar
"When Sachin Tendulkar travelled to Pakistan to face one of the finest bowling attacks ever assembled in cricket, Michael Schumacher was yet to race a F1 car, Lance Armstrong had never been to the Tour de France, Diego Maradona was still the captain of a world champion Argentina team, Pete Sampras had never won a Grand Slam. When Tendulkar embarked on a glorious career taming Imran and company, Roger Federer was a name unheard of; Lionel Messi was in his nappies, Usain Bolt was an unknown kid in the Jamaican backwaters. The Berlin Wall was still intact, USSR was one big, big country, Dr Manmohan Singh was yet to "open" the Nehruvian economy. It seems while Time was having his toll on every individual on the face of this planet, he excused one man. Time stands frozen in front of Sachin Tendulkar. We have had champions, we have had legends, but we have never had another Sachin Tendulkar and we never will."
Thanks God - err - Sachin!! :)
Thanks God - err - Sachin!! :)

What a Eulogy & What prose by W.H. Auden
Fell in love with this brilliant Eulogy that was delivered with so much passion in the movie 'Four Weddings and a Funeral'. The Eulogy is mostly a piece by W.H. Auden which is bound to move even the most hard hearted individual. Brilliant...
Matthew talking about Gareth:
"The most splendid, replete, big-hearted, weak-hearted as it turned out, and jolly bugger most of us ever met. As for me, you may ask how I will remember him, what I thought of him.
Unfortunately there I run out of words. Perhaps you will forgive me if I turn from my own feelings to the words of another splendid bugger: W.H. Auden. This is actually what I want to say: "Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bonel, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. Let the aeroplanes circle, moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message 'He is Dead'. Put crepe bows 'round the white necks of the public doves, Let traffic policemen wear black, cotton gloves. He was my North, my South, my East, and West. My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong. The stars are not wanted now; put out every one, Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun, Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood; For nothing now can ever come to any good. "

Param Vir Chakra: Title Song of Doordarshan Serial (Shaan Teri Kabhi Kam Na Ho) & Other Details
Found this very recently on YouTube. Many thanks to Amrinderpal for sharing this gem. The details of the song are:
Title Song: Shaan Teri Kabhi Kam Na Ho
Serial: Paramvir Chakra
Director/Producer : Chetan Anand
Brilliant memories came rushing back when i heard this song again. I remember the times when i used to sit glued to the television waiting for the episodes of this serial to come up. I became an avid watcher of Indian Armed forces after this serial was aired. There were times when my eyes were filled with tears on watching some of the episodes (I was very young then!!).
In fact i would request every Indian to at least read the basic facts about their Heroes who received The Param Vir Chakra - The highest military decoration in India awarded for the highest degree of valour or self-sacrifice. Read about 2nd Lt - Arun Khetrapal, Major Somnath Sharma, Flying Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon, Lance Naik Albert Ekka or the most recent Captain Vikram Batra (The guy whose war cry, "Yeh Dil Maange More" became the rallying cry of the Entire Nation during the Kargil War) and the rest of the Vir 21 and i promise you that you will be swept with emotion and patriotism.
Remember that most of these soldiers and officers gave their lives in making sure that we live with our heads held high. The least that we can do for them is give them our RESPECT...

Aman ki Aasha - An initiative of The Times of India Group & The Jang Group of Pakistan (Part I)
I chanced upon this brilliant video (Song sung by Shankar Mahadevan)about an Initiative called 'Aman ki Asha' which talks about brotherhood between Indians and Pakistanis. It shows us how much similarity exists between us and how we should never let that go away. True, there are massive problems between us but some start needs to be taken and nurtured. And this seems to be a good one at that...
Everyone who wishes to see peace and happiness in India and Pakistan - and in the larger context, the world - should support this initiative. It is a great start by the biggest media house in each country and would definitely help in furthering the cause of bringing stability to this region. More details and news reports are available on the TOI website 'Aman Ki Asha' and the Geo TV website 'Aman Ki Asha'. There is also a Facebook page to keep tabs on all events.

Choose Life
Anyone who knows me well and understands what i have been through over the last couple of years would agree that things have not been...well, let us just say 'Normal', something that i desperately wish for. But lets keep that for later. This is my first post after the end of the 'noughties' era and i would at least try and make a positive beginning on my blog...even if that is someway off the radar in real life....
The quote that i post here is from a movie called 'Trainspotting' by our very nearly own Danny Boyle (yeah...the man who gave us the multiple Oscar winning and Indian branded Slumdog Millionaire). Somehow this movie is in some ways a reflection of the pain in life and what people including myself go through. However, it also has a quote which i have always found extremely reinvigorating if you think about it....Something that should 'probably' be my new year resolution...
Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself.
Choose your future.
Choose life.
That is the end of my liking of this brilliant dialogue but there is more to it, and for people who chose that...well...To each their own!!
.....But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?
-----John Hodge
Let this year be the year of choosing LIFE...

Meaning of "Lorem Ipsum vim ut utroque mandamus intellegebat, ut eam omittam ancillae sadipscing, per et eius soluta veritus"
Was just editing my blog when i came across the following quote at the bottom of the Blog 'Edit':
"Lorem ipsum vim ut utroque mandamus intellegebat, ut eam omittam ancillae sadipscing, per et eius soluta veritus"
Was quite intrigued and so googled for the same. And the answer is also quite interesting. Well, in the first place, it doesnt actually have any meaning nor is it Latin. It is actually gibberish which is written so that some sort of content can be used for the sake of illustration. It's called "greeking" -- it's filler text that developers, publishers etc use to designate a text paragraph, without actually putting anything specific in the paragraph.
Wikipedia says: In publishing and graphic design, lorem ipsum is the name given to commonly used placeholder text (filler text) to demonstrate the graphic elements of a document or visual presentation, such as font, typography, and layout.
Even though using "lorem ipsum" often arouses curiosity because of its resemblance to classical Latin, it is not intended to have meaning. Where text is visible in a document, people tend to focus on the textual content rather than upon overall presentation, so publishers use lorem ipsum when displaying a typeface or design elements and page layout in order to direct the focus to the publication style and not the meaning of the text.
Very Interesting!!

Defining Pain
To God...Hope you are listening :'-)
I have over the past couple of years heard a lot of inspirational stories and seen a lot of rich presentations/ videos on motivation. More often than not, they have a message of keeping positive and telling us that failures are part and parcel of life, without which success cannot be achieved and infact success cannot be appreciated without it. I agree, wholeheartedly. Just that there is a small problem.
What do you about time? Till when are you able to cope with your situation if it is continuously going downhill. When do you say enough is enough and you cannot take it anymore. Furthermore, what do you do after that? What are the choices a person can make.
There is a theory where a lot of people mention about happiness and sadness having their own specific time lines and both definitely coming to an end after some time. Not sure about this though. Just take my case. Everyday my depression keeps becoming deeper. Everyday i think the corner is just about to be taken and i will be free again but it does not. I have been thinking on those lines for the last 2 years. That is an awful lot of time to be depressed :) and i am just tired, plain tired. Now how do i decide that its time to throw in the towel or not? Till when should i continue.
And hey, before you make a judgment call about me, let me assure you that i have tried...a lot! Tried to be happy and not getting bogged down. I have always got up and tried to push myself harder. Try and make myself better and try and adapt to situations around me. Sure, i have been grumpy sometimes but that has never stopped me from giving myself a good chance of trying to be happy. Oh and yes, i try to be happy every moment or at least most moments. A lot of times it is false and most possibly meant for other friends to make them happy but didnt someone say that your own happiness lies in the happiness of others? Hmmm...again an unanswerable question!
Another thing; i am religious or at least believe in god and used to pray, till a couple of months back when i realised that it is all so futile. The gods are not really going to help you. I believe in their existence completely but am not sure as to their work profile; as in what are they supposed to do if they cannot even guide you, forget about helping you directly. All i had asked was for some guidance to tell me the path that i should take but umhnnnn; sorry guys but God really didnt answer and the situation is not that great. So again; what should i do? Interesting question that!
I know some people will come and tell you that there is so much misery in this world and yours is nothing compared to that. Agreed that i am not physically handicapped, agreed that i not mired in poverty, agreed that i don't have abusive parents and definitely agree that i have had many more opportunities compared to so many others around me. However, pain is very very relative. Its almost like a child aspiring for a chocolate while a grown up man aspiring for a luxury car or an old man aspiring for comfortable retirement. Aspirations and pain are very very relative. A person might be poor but extremely happy. The opposite is quite true too. And i am sure you understand what i am saying. Everyone would have gone through some form of pain and sadness in their life. The question is, for how long?
You might ask why i am not thankful for all that i have got?...Well i am, i definitely am for having had some good times in my life but i can't just live on those memories for life, right? particularly when the painful ones are so near and recent. What are the next steps when everything that you do gets a spanner in the works. Every step that you take encounters a roadblock.
I consider my aspirations to be a happy and cozy dream. About finding life and soul within you and enjoying every living moment to its fullest. Why is it a crime to dream about this. Ok, now coming to the question of if i am tired with all of this, what are my options. Do i decide to end my life. Is it not an option of the losers or is it that god has to maintain a percentage of suicides every year and that some people will come to their end irrespective of how much they tried to resurrect themselves. Is there any other option; maybe just let go and let life decide for you while you do nothing and wait for some god to act. But isn't a purposeless life meaningless. Will you not become a dead man walking. Or you may decide to continue fighting but then again till when...or is there no end?
Just a final word. I recently heard a quote 'Keep swinging away' when you encounter troubles. Its supposedly a very famous quote by some baseball player of the 60's. I have one question, what happens when after swinging a lot of times, your arms are really tired. Do you drop your bat?!
Any suggestions! :-) (A very wry smile)

Apple: Think Different - Here's to the Crazy Ones :)
Came across this brilliant motivational piece and a very old Apple advertisement. Just my way of telling everyone...All of us have the chance of one lifetime to change the world...Lets be crazy enough to do something about it!!
Apple's original "Think Different" ad from 1997: "Heres to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. Theyre not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you cant do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."
Order of appearance: Albert Einstein, Bob Dylan, Martin Luther King, Jr., Richard Branson, John Lennon (with Yoko Ono), R. Buckminster Fuller, Thomas Edison, Muhammad Ali, Ted Turner, Maria Callas, Mahatma Gandhi, Amelia Earhart, Alfred Hitchcock, Martha Graham, Jim Henson (with Kermit the Frog), Frank Lloyd Wright, Pablo Picasso, and Shaan Sahota (young girl).

Father's love towards his Daughters....
"I soon found that the greatest joy in my life was the joy I saw in yours. And I realised that my own life wouldn't count for much unless I was able to ensure that you had every opportunity for happiness and fulfillment in yours."
- Barack Obama to his daughters Sasha and Malia for expressing regret for not spending enough time with them in the last 2 years.

The Best Movie Quote/ Dialogue of 2008
"Do I really look like a man with a plan, Harvey? I don't have a plan. The mob has plans, the cops have plans. You know what I am, Harvey? I'm a dog chasing cars. I wouldn't know what to do if I caught one. I just *do* things. I'm a wrench in the gears. I *hate* plans. Yours, theirs, everyone's. Maroni has plans. Gordon has plans. Schemers trying to control their worlds. I am not a schemer. I show schemers how pathetic their attempts to control things really are. So when I say that what happened to you and your girlfriend wasn't personal, you know I'm telling the truth. It's a schemer who put you where you are. You were a schemer. You had plans. Look where it got you. I just did what I do best-I took your plan and turned it on itself. Look what I have done to this city with a few drums of gas and a couple bullets. Nobody panics when the expected people get killed. Nobody panics when things go according to plan, even if the plans are horrifying. If I tell the press that tomorrow a gangbanger will get shot, or a truckload of soldiers will get blown up, nobody panics. But when I say one little old mayor will die, everyone loses their minds! Introduce a little anarchy, you upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos. I am an agent of chaos. And you know the thing about chaos, Harvey? It's fair.

Someone's famous words...My Belief
- With reasonable men I will reason; with humane men I will plea; but to tyrants I will give no quarter, nor waste arguments where they will certainly be lost.
- I am in earnest; I will not equivocate; I will not excuse; I will not retreat a single inch; and I will be heard.
- That which is not just is not law.
William Lloyd Garrison
US abolitionist & editor (1805 - 1879)
It's all a Joke-'er'!!

Time defined !!
We choose starting points, when in truth every moment exists in the context of every single moment throughout time that precedes and follows it. Time is a tapestry with neither beginning nor end. We like to think stories start at a single point, but in truth, its all one eternal tale....
