Chief Belief Officer - CBO

I'm sure all of us have heard about CEOs', COOs', CTO's, but wait have you ever heard of a CBO??? in other words Chief Belief Officer!!! Well sure folks who were followin TEDIndia@Mysore would have heard of it and sure its been makin rounds around the net about his talk at TEDIndia@Mysore!! Thought I should share the same with the rest of them who hasn't been lucky enough to hear on it or see the person!!!

Personally, though I'm more or less an Agnostic Person, definitely kudos to DevDutt, who actually by profession is a CBO with the Future Group!!! who actually was damn good at weaving a story with ancient mythology and present day working conditions and more!!! Definitely an amazin video to watch

Well sure, it would also get us to the question, now that we breached the Belief frontier, is there anything else?????

30 second speech!!!!!

Here's a 30 second Speech by Bryan Dyson (CEO of Coca Cola) :


"Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the
air.

You name them - work, family, health, Friends and spirit and you're keeping
all of these in the Air.

You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will
bounce back.

But the other four Balls - Family, Health, Friends and Spirit - are made of
glass. If you drop one of these; they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked,
nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same.

You must understand that and strive for it."

How I wish this could help people prioritize their lives!!! I mean we need to work but guess itz a pretty fine balance which we need to strike!!! Hope everyone readin this can manage to do the same :-)

DESERVIN????????

There have been times when I see pics of my friends/acquaintances or hear about them as to what they have been upto, it gets me to thinkin do they really deserve that??? I mean not that I'm jealous that they have achieved somethin or got to do somethin which I didn't but for all that I've known them, I personally feel they don't deserve it coz there are other worthies accordin to me!!! Hell I ain't no one to be judgmental about anyone, but when you compare two, sure we are bound to find a nicer one of the two :-)

But, what is that makes LIFE so partial???? Have you noticed, people who have it all get more and people who don't have never get it or are robbed off it!!! WHY??? Sure we can have a lot of arguments sayin, you have to work towards it, you didn't work hard but hell I ain't gonna buy any excuse.. probably yeah few got lucky but what about the rest???? Despite all efforts they never make it??? guess then we blame it on Bad Luck huh????

Guess thatz how the fabric of LIFE is huh... we still move on and hope that even we would get there someday and yeah that would take us a different topic of HOPE!!!! ;-)

Sure, I ain't gonna find an answers to all these but hell whatz the harm in speakin my mind out????? huh????

Education V/s Cleanliness!!!!

We've all been told that education brings in civil sense and other senses!!! But off late I've really started to think if this really has come true!!! Yesterday I was ridin on my bike and I see this pretty smart guy in a BIG car who very casually pops the gum in his mouth and throws the wrapper on the road!!! I really wanted to pull him aside and give him a piece of my mind but alas he drove away!!!! But my question is would he do it if he was at his own home???? Sure he would walk up to the dustbin and dispose it...

This is one off!! I've always found that even my friends do the same, its a different matter that when they litter the place, I personally ensure I pick up and keep it in my pocket and over a period of time they realize not to throw things at least when I'm around but I'm sure they would be throwin thrash behind my back with a glee!!!!

True we don't have strict rules when people litter our streets!!! Sure the same folks when the they travel abroad, ensure not to litter any place coz they would have to dole of heavy fines!!! and sure over a period they inculcate the habit of not litterin, but the same folks when they land here, I'm sure they would have made a huge paper ball to litter once they touch Indian shores!!! Guess they get that simple pleasure of litterin at their whims and fancy!!!

I've always been asked, what happens to the rest of the litter on the road when I pick up the litter created by my friends, true I can't go about cleaning the streets, coz people would just ensure that they litter right after I clean the place, but hell I've always believed that it begins from "YOU" and I know as a matter of fact that I would continue in my pursuit of not litterin and not allowing others whom I know to litter!!!

I know it might take years but definitely I believe I've made a start and probably after years I hope that we would have a clean India and would definitely like to thank one of my dear friend for instillin these beliefs in me!!! Thanks Shwets!!!

Déjà Vu

Well I've been wantin to write this the moment I saw a comment from my friend on one of my posts!!! But then I thought I should be crazy coz though it has happened many a times, this was like, hell I knew she would write the same response and bingo I get the same!!!! Over the weekend when I attended a friends daughter's birthday, she happened to mentioned that it felt like Déjà Vu and I was like hell I thought only I feel that!!!!

But once we started talkin about it, I realized that I'm not the only one and worse now it scares me!!! Coz at times what I dream isn't really the best of things but few, yeah I really don't mind ;-)!!!! Not sure how many of you have seen the movie Déjà Vu but well at least in the movie he is allowed to make amends, wish we were all given same option!!!

Well fortunately there are few dreams which I feel should come true and with my fingers crossed, I hope that a day comes when its true and definitely not gonna pen them down coz what if it never happens ;-)

Aerial Visits

I hope all of you have been following the newspapers, wherein last week with all the rains and the crops being destroyed and then people losin their homes and schools, our elite lot, I mean our beloved politicians go about their routine of doin Aerial visits at the affected areas!!!!!

Now when I see snaps of the same, I always wonder what is that they achieve by Aerial visits??? Can't they use the same resource to help people to who are stranded in the middle of the river??? They could use it to drop foods, medicines but to assess the damage why do these folks go about doin Aerial visits???? again the attention of the district administration would be diverted to see that their SUPER bosses are comfortable and everythin else can wait and that means even rescue work???

I'm sure quite a few would say I'm bein harsh on them, sure you do have your point of view, but when I see it from my end, I feel its just a waste of time and resource, the same could have been used elsewhere more productively. I mean look at it, Sonia Gandhi made an Aerial visit to both AP and Karnataka, other than she bein a Chairperson of UPA, does she have any authority to release any amount of relief fund from the coffers of the government???? Well guess its just to score a point in the game of politics!!!!

Well, I would rather suggest that our beloved politicians, get down from Aerial visits, come to the scene of destruction and without much hassles, get down to work and ensure that all the rescue work is happenin and see to that the emergency medical care is provided, set up a god damn base and ensure that the rescue operations are happenin as it should happen!!! Guess askin for too much coz they just can't wait to get back to their cozy beds and oblivious to all the happenins around them coz they sufferers are lesser mortals and they can wait!!!!

Roots!!!!!

Well I ain't gonna write a review on a the books ROOTS by Alex Haley here ;-) though its one of the BEST books I've ever read and for those who have never read it I HIGHLY recommend the same.

But I wanted to address something which has been on my mind for sometime!!! Decided that its time I pen the same. Well for all that we know, as humans we always see and feel that the other side of the pasture is GREENER!!! Well now gettin to the point, I've had quite a bit of opportunity to meet and exchange notes with the expat community and I really appreciate it when they try to get themselves localized to our surroundings, but yeah end of it they definitely still retain their identity but enjoy being part of the local surroundings.

Now, to our brothers and sisters of INDIA, I've noticed that when they leave the country, obviously for GREENER pastures in and in some cases GREENER money, I see that they too try doin the same as the expat crowd!!! But wait, you see the change they go through??? to a large extent they don't want to showcase their roots, they develop a fake accent, and definitely they end up being a sore thumb for themselves!!!! Beat this, I know this guy who actually started usin his second name as his first simply coz they couldn't get his first name right????? How low can you stoop with your dignity?????? or probably I was wrong and he was bein considerate ;-)

Now why would they do that?????? Aren't we proud of our roots?????? Agreed we are a chaotic country and we have quite a bit of lows, but I'm sure we have our highs too!!! But what troubles me is, people are ready to just disown their roots, they even find it difficult to keep in touch, don't even want to be tagged on pics of old albums, only makes me wonder, when they come back to their roots should I even bother to touch them with a barge pole, I mean, come on they aren't the only one who can disown, we can do it too!!! Sure I have planned to reciprocate and nothin would stop me from doin that!!!!
