Random Thoughts

We fall in love with someone for what they are, then why do we go about trying to change into something else and then complain that they are not the person we fell in love with.

"Love me for who I am...change me for the better man that I can be...but please don't change me to what you want to be."

I hate Hindi serial...they are typical...ugly...bad character...illogical...and mind numbingly brain dead...not to forget repetitive and same...so called "moralistic".

Arundhati Roy defending the Maoist...when has destroying, killing, blood shed become justifiable???

Is hanging Kasab the solution?

We have sentenced Kasab to death for the events of 26th November 2009. But my question is hanging the solution?

What he did is heinous and deserves the highest punishment. But what have we done to prevent another 26/11. We are still susceptible to another such attack, corruption still runs high and most importantly our forces are still not prepared to counter. We do not have the proper measures in place. These are the more important thing that we need to take care of.

Beside we have to deal with naxalities and maoist and their attacks. And now we politicians trying to gain political mileage from and pseudo activist trying to defend them. Just hope they don't get outside support for their so called bloody uprising.

Coming back to Kasab, hanging him elevates him to martyrdom and creating many more like him. What are we doing to prevent this? Obviously his country is doing nothing about it. So what are we doing about it??? That's a question we need to find a solution about.

Is my English Really Poor

On Friday I was told by the business head that my English was pretty poor. This was after he had read what I had drafted for the proposal. Though I squirmed when I read what was written, in my defense that was a draft version and not the final one. And as I had written it in a hurry while multitasking , there were bound to rewrites and edits. Since it wasn't the final draft of the text I don't think he should have been reading it and making his comments until he had the final version of the file. also i had not seen the file itself so I needed to take the time to edit it.

Yup what he said made me question my English abilities. Though I admit that I am verbose, often think quicker than write. And even though I am not a literature and language major, my English is definitely not poor. So when he made this statement, this not only hurt but it also left me fuming. What I should have told him was the facts and asked him to read the final version. But since I didn't tell him that and the dude butted in between he was bound to make such statement.

I know one thing that I have had the least amount of edits from the SME for my storyboards, so where does the question of my English being poor comes up. I know at times I don't read what I write, but no way is my English is poor. So when someone tells me that the content and language is poor, after the SME, who has a doctorate, has approved it, I feel like turning around and questioning their abilities to make such a comment.

Such statements can be frustrating and downright disheartening. What I need to do is to keep this as lesson. I shouldn't be letting this bog me down but learn from it and move on and not sweat too much over it. Make it a point to prove your ability to your detractor and make them feel small and eat their words.

I ain't no quitter!!!!
