Congress gets power, I get an IP Softphone

/

/
Congress is getting back to power in Delhi… while some people would not like it, I am not surprised by this situation and am rather happy to see Sheila Dikshit continue ! This time around some 60% of the janta voted and I feel most would be glad to see the result !In the last 4-5 years, I have seen a lot of things changing in Delhi and more for good than bad and I am hopeful that they were continue. The way Delhi has worked on its infrastructure is commendable and while that should continue, I am sure the other things which need attention would get their due in the next few years !

So way to go team !

And I got a IP softphone today…


now I am ready for a true home office and would be available on my office extension irrespective of where I am sitting in the world ! how cewl is that ! The world of Outlook Web Access, VPNs, Xtra-nets, and Soft Phones !

Prasha – Cook(er)

Third time in a row, cooking for myself did not disappoint me ! And I am nothing but extremely happy that the food has been great !I am also surprised that I did not mess up the salt or anything else either !!! But this is a pleasant surprise !

And too bad there was no one to see the expressions on my face when I tasted food 🙂 :/

I am getting there 🙂 slowly but surely !!!

and celebrating with a nice banana split scoop is just the right thing !

p.s. thanks Joy for the title 😀

Gorgeous !

What is it that makes women look amazingly beautiful when the breeze plays around with their hair? and when they decide to just come in front of the face?I live in a windy part of the city in Milwaukee, and every morning when I come to the office, I see a number of them walking, with the hair freely tossed around by the wind… (I guess they have not started feeling too cold yet, good for me 🙂 ) and they just look gorgeous !

English, whats the big deal?

/

One of the best experiences of working in a foreign country is the way your thoughts about English, change !!!In India, it still stays a BIGGGG deal, and in the UK or US, its just another language… We still look down upon people who cannot speak english and are more comfortable in their own languages, but here I really do not see people judging you by the language you speak !!!

There are people who speak English ridiculously, and some who have a horrible accent, or have a very very very heavy MTI (Mother Tongue Influence) but guess what !!! It does not matter, till you can “communicate” well !!!

I say, forget about how well you can speak English, and how many bigg words you know… just think of how well you communicate… rest does not really matter !!!

One of my meetings today was chaired by a lady from China, had 5 Indians from Gharwal, Punjab, Maharashtra, UP and Madras, and all the Americans had a different accent too !!! still the meeting went super well !!!

English, after all, is no BIG DEAL !!!

अरेतूअभीतकनहींगया?कितनेमहीनेहोगएहैंतेरेकोअमरीकामें?

ढाई

हद्द है यार !!! चल आज चल…

नहीं यार, मेरे दिल नहीं है !!! क्या करना है जाकर? यहीं बैठते हैं, सुंदर सुंदर लडकियां घूम ही रही हैं उन्ही से काम चला लेते हैं !

अबे चल…

यार !!

चल ना बैठे रहना ऐसे ही वहां पर भी… कोई बड़ी बात नहीं है !!!

चलो फिर !!!

And never before I have said NO to so many dripping hot girls in one night !!! hehehe… what an ego boost (I am just ignoring the fact that I would have to shell out anything between $20 to $100 for the act of seduction that would have followed, had I said yes)

I had been told that a strip bar is THE place to be in if you are in the US, but this was never in the to-do list… however once I have been there, I am glad it was never in the to-do list !!!

The bodies were flawless naked…
The dances seductive…
The faces blank…
And expressions forced !!!

And because I usually start looking at women face down and not breast up, I was only put off with the forced faces that I saw all around !!!

Its a fact that bodies, faces, skin are used as products these days, but Deja Vu (said to be the best strip club in Minneapolis) was one place where I saw this happening to the limit… Just moving naked objects ! nothing less nothing more !!!

Now if you are too desperate to have a naked body dance around yourself, strip bars are the place for you! I just could not make myself like what was happening there!

Spending anything between $20 to $100 for a personal lap dance… sit in the front row, keep a $1 bill in front of you, so that the pole dancer can come to you and rub your face against her boobs, take your cap if you are wearing one, rub it between her legs and you keeping it forever as a souvenir !!! All of this happening while I was only feeling lost looking at it happening with people around !!!

The interesting part is, that when I told this to a few gal friends, they were like, “we also want to go !!!” I was surprised initially !!! but then I thought it could be just plain fun if I am going there in a group that I am comfortable with !!! I am sure I am not going to drool over any of the naked bodies there, but I might just enjoy the entire club thing more !!!

To mention a few good things…

  • Pole Dancing is tough !!! and very !!! needs a lot of control and expertise !!! True ART, I must say !!

  • It was interesting how there were groups sitting there enjoying !!! Men and Women both in the group !! Getting some sexual pleasure was definitely not the agenda for them !!! plain neat fun !!!
  • It was not a shady dingy smoked up place… but a very well lit, nicely decorated, and professionally maintained place !

A few days back I saw a car on the road here, I recognised it and smiled because I feel good if the same models are introduced in India and outside !!! For me that represents a growing India…
Honda Accord, CRV, Civic; Toyota Camri, Corolla; The Chevrolet UVA (Aveo in the US) are exactly the same models !!! nice… Ok, back to the incident !!!
Everything was fine till I saw the logo of the brand, and I was shocked !!!
The car looked like the Chevrolet Optra and it was carrying a Suzuki Logo… Pretty interesting eh !!!
Check out the following links for yourself !!!
I don’t see much of a difference !!! Do you?
