Long time

Quite a long time since I updated my blog.... Was stuck on a pretty demanding assignment... Also made a day long visit to Bhopal... It has been quite hectic since past 3 weeks, with no bloody personal time-off...
Well recessionary times!!!
Had gone to a party on Friday nite in the club with two of the collegues... Had a good drink (apparently the Master Bartender of the club - Ashok has now perfected his art)... It was a sexy Jamaican Margerita... Enjoyed it on friday nite... but then had a massive hangover on saturday... Virtually spent the whole day sleeping...
Went for a long drive today... Quite sunny... with chilled beer for company...
Deadly combo...
Cheers Guys!!!

Doggy Doggy

Well...lot has been written about how Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire is a fantastic film and definitely has done India a lot proud by winning a record Seven Oscars'....

No doubt winning that beautiful statute is a dream for any film-maker but are we not taking it a bit too far....

I do not find the movie any great... it actually is quite disgusting in its portrayal of people living in Dharavi's slums and glorifies their hardships and problems... In my view it is quite demeaning... I could not digest that movie... Infact after seeing the promos of the movie, I had waited for the DVDs to come in the market and chanced to see a pirated version at one of the business locations... definitely proved me right.... no point in wasting money in going to a multiplex for the pic...

Anyhow this is the topdog of the day after winning the Statutes... and as they say "Make Hay While the Sun Shines"...

Justification for Actions

When One does any thing or take any actions which are of no concern to others.... Does one need to justify that??
My emphatic answer is NO......
If one has a mind of his own and think that his actions have no impact on life of other people, in my opinion, it does not require any kind of justification to be given to others.......

Cheers

Weekend in winter

Dunno about all of u, but i like to enjoy my winter weekends... some days without any buzzing of cell phone or telephone, alone with a well stocked kitchen and a good book to read... Will come to review of the books in one of my later blogs but this was one of the pretty good weekends I had spent at home.. The only place I wandered to was not more than 1 Km away, i.e. my dad's home under construction... rest spent peacefully in catching up on sleep or reading or looking out of the windows trying to figure out who was the babe up at 7.00 AM in one of towers of my apartment complex.. phuh.. atleast now I apparently have some motivation to water the plants in the morning (with water)... huh...

One hell of a week

Last week has been quite happening, rocking, eating, traffic burdened, traveling and being bombarded by Satyamoid....



What happens when you get to hear that one of the largest company's stock has fallen 94% due to a fraud perpetrated by Management, coupled with a hard hit client (who since he knew that you were a auditor of that company at some point of time is out to give you a 3rd degree) along with maddening travel plans (to lovely city of Kolkata with all the mishti that world can offer) and parents' visit to your sincerely's abode (u gotta spend time on cleaning up)...



Delhi's traffic is definitely not making things easier... I had to commute to parts of Central Delhi (CP) and South Delhi (Nehru Place) virtually on a daily basis last week and it was surely not easy. Well I guess it is going to get worse. Infact we should change the working times... lets say start the day at about 8 AM and close by about 5 PM (!!!).

Satyam: Effects on an Ex-Auditor

Today.. Satyam's Chairman wrote a honest letter to Company Board and SEBI / Stock Exchanges... Being earlier a part of PwC (currently the auditors of Satyam) and being a part of the audit team for Satyam about 8 years back, I guess substantial part of my CV will have to be knocked off... Lets wait and watch......
