Resurrection

I welcome you all to my blog once again. Don't know what compelled me to write this post, but yes as the title suggests, I hope that this post marks the new beginning for my blog. Life is full of ups and downs and so is the economic cycle. US as well as 90% of the developed world is officially out of recession, however, much still needs to be done. Looking back at the year 2009, it will be remembered for the resurrection of the world economy. Positively, this could be the worst year that the world economy has gone through in our lifetimes. The best thing is that its behind us.

Bottomline: We can look forward to the green shoots of economic stabilization turning into trees of economic growth bearing fruits of job creation and prosperity in 2010 once again.

I guess thats enough of economic gyaan! Let me write a little about what's going on with my life now. I wrote about "moving on" in my last post. Yes, I think I have moved on. New company, new teammates, new city, new people, new roommates. So a lot of News except I try to remain the same old me! So any of my old friends reading this believes he/she has been shortchanged in the moving on process, please feel free to lodge a complaint on my no.

And like I mentioned in my previous post I see a lot of my friends getting married or planning to do so. And I am still doubtful when will I be "mature" enough. Well here's my take on when a guy should get married:

1. When you earn enough to save at least 60% of your income after accounting for all expenses, income tax and/or mandatory investments for income tax savings.

2. When you are ready to follow orders for 8 hours in the office and 8 hours at home everyday.

3. When you know that you don't have any issues with someone monitoring your every move and every plan and advising you even when you don't need any advice.

4. When you think that kids are more important than your career.

5. When you are over 25 and you are not seeing anyone with or without the intention of a committed relationship and your parents start blackmailing you emotionally to get "settled".

Hope you like my first post after a long time.

Kaltxi ("Hello" in Na'vi Language)

For the uninitiated, this is the character Neytiri from James Cameron's on-its-way-to-being-the-biggest-all-time-blockbuster movie, Avatar. Neytiri is a Na'vi princess. Na'vi are the indigenous(read tribal) natives of a distant celestial body Pandora , where Avatar's story is setup. One month back, after the movie's release, fantastic opening and critical acclaim, people were calling it the Jurassic Park for the new generation, now after Avatar has broken all previous records at the box office in terms of business and popularity, it is being compared to Star Wars, the movie that established Science-fiction as a genre in Hollywood. The reason I chose to use Neytiri's picture in this post is because Neytiri represents the perfect combination of beauty, strength and values that constitutes the masterpiece, Avatar. On the outside Avatar is beautiful with all the complex 3D effects and motion capture technology used in production. But what really makes the m...

Rock On

Welcome to my blog. I had the idea of starting a blog since a long time, but didn't know what to write about. But finally I have made up my mind to kick off the blog with a review of the recently released Bollywood movie Rock On, which is making waves as well as a lot of money at the box office. Rock On is truly rocking movie-goers across the country right now and it deserves all the praise and appreciation that it is generating. After experiencing it myself, I can assure you that Rock On is going to be a landmark in the ever so long journey of Hindi cinema. To be frank, I expected to see a lot of wildness and break-all-the-rules attitude, as anyone who has watched the promos would, and I don't say that the movie lets you down on that, but what takes you by a pleasant surprise is the amazing grip of the story as it shifts gears smoothly from the wild-rock-band attitude to the much more real, mature and relate-able for the general audience carry-on-with-life-as-it-is attitude. I...

Hope

Letting this blog die a silent death is not an option for me and I blame my laziness for not writing a single post in the past so many days. I wrote something about two months back but never bothered to post it(Another example of my laziness getting the better of me). I thought I should include that text in this post. So here goes... There has been a flurry of monumental incidents since my last post. Just to name a few of the prominent ones, the scarce positive incidents first, Obama's official inauguration as the first Black president of the US, Ghajini breaking all records at the box office, Slumdog Millionaire bagging multiple international awards and now the negative ones, the Mumbai Terror Attack, the deepening global financial crisis leading to a worldwide economic slowdown/recession, the biggest ever corporate fraud in India, the Satyam Scam. So what does the future hold? Where are we headed? Is there a silver lining to the darkest cloud hovering over the world economy? When...
