I HAPPENED TO LISTEN THIS GREAT SONG FEW DAYS BACK . ITS TOUCHING . I
JUST WANTED TO SHARE THE LYRICS WITH YOU GUYS TELL ME IF YOU WANT MP3
OF THIS SONG
"WORKING CLASS HERO " BY JHON LENNON
As soon as your born they make you feel small,
By giving you no time instead of it all,
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school,
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool,
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years,
Then they expect you to pick a career,
When you can't really function you're so full of fear,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,
And you think you're so clever and classless and free,
But you're still fucking peasents as far as I can see,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
There's room at the top they are telling you still,
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill,
If you want to be like the folks on the hill,
A working class hero is something to be.
A working class hero is something to be.
If you want to be a hero well just follow me,
If you want to be a hero well just follow me.
HAVE A GOOD TIME

Delhi Vs Banglore: A Tale of Two Cities
Now its been almost two months since I have been in The “silicon valley of India “ . On my first visit I was enthralled to visit the city which was hailed as the Mecca of software in India, but guess what?? The city was nothing as I expected. But shock was a pleasant one ,specially after two years of hard time at Delhi .Life (initially) was cool and city was nice to me. After spending close to two months here and after interacting with lot many people who are the part of action of city when I look back and compare the life in Delhi and banglore I find myself in a CATCH-22. So I jot down my experience. I may ruffle a few feathers but here are my versions of a comparative study between two cities I hope you will find it correct ,useful and entertaining
Delhi Vs Banglore w.r.t: Weather Wine Women
Weather: Well Talking of weather it’s a no brainier. Thumps up for the city of banglore weather here is really cool, so much so that even in winter you can roam around in night in a half sleeve shirts. Thanks to the weather, females in banglore can afford to show a lot of skin which otherwise be buried under the tons of clothing in this season. I was surprised to see the innovative, daring and inviting ways of female dressing there. Low rise jeans V-Neck Tees and deep cuts here and there but follow the cuts with your eyes and the trail finishes the moment You think that the Truth and the Holy Grail is Just a inch below. it was like watching the trailer of SWADESH trailer is so interesting that you will dye to see the whole movie . But thanks to m workload I can neither see Swadesh nor complete my quest for the Holy Grail, which was JUST a inch below the cut. Still it was a visual treat and I had a good lot of this treat.
Wine: now I want to make it clear at the outset that I am not a heavy drinker and only take beer as the source of alcohol. But drinking in Banglore is an Experience of lifetime and people here seems to spend there life time in drinking. I have even seen guys in my hotel who take Beer and Tequila shots on Breakfast Table. They seems to follow the golden rule of drinking that “THE BEST WAY TO AVOID THE HANGOVER IS TO KEEP DRINKING “ Unlike Delhi where you have to drink the holy water in SHABBY “AHHATAA” provided by government, in banglore you can have beer just about everywhere “ JHIDHAR NAZAR GAYEE UDHAR SUROOR HEE SUROOR HAI , MERA DIL MACHAL GAYA TOU MERA KYA KUSOOR HAI “ . Female too are equally participating in this Smoking is In Thing here and I have observed that girls sucks the cigarette so hard as if sucking cigarette is precursor to sucking something else.
Women: Now women in Banglore are the most interesting aspect of the city. In just two month I came across three instants of Live in relationships. For beginners in “live-in “relationship” you live with the female without getting married. In more unpolished way of explaining you can say “You Can Get Fresh Milk Without Tying A Cow”. I frequently visited a café named Java City it played jazz music and oldies from Elvis and other. It was great .I was told that café is famous for the incidents of One nightstands on tool free basis. But even after 6-7 visits nobody zeroed in onto me, but something was really going on there. Well better luck next time. But Jokes apart I find female in the city more independent, pragmatic and modest with comparison to Delhi. Best part of The females here was that unlike Delhi they were not any Call Center working mindless ostentatious punk, talking in some suede American accent, Here girls can talk and they can talk intelligently. Some of the female I talked with were more beautiful between the ears than between the legs. But either way they were inaccessible to me, again courtesy my workload. Better Luck Next Time Here too.
That was a small analysis on the basis of WWW soon I will post another analysis on Carrier Compensation n Community (CCC) in banglore.

Blog and The Traditional News Medias
Hi all
since past few days i was refelecting on something . something which at the first glance looks very common place and mundane but as i gave it a serious analysis it was something that shocked me . it was something about internet and the way we access news and form opinion .
for some of you it might be very very simplistic but it was something of a discovery for me so iwould like to share it with you.
The fact that internet has revolutionized the world is an old story , the fact that it has redefined the face of business world and changed the rule of game too doesn’t gives a kick. These are big games but how does it effect some thing more fundamental Our WorldView our opinion . Inspite of Internet and all the source of info some COWBOY from texas was able to launch a war on some gulf nation for some nonexistent W.M.D and get away with it and more tragic is the fact that people and a large number of them believe that cowboy was not fighting for oil. Truth seems to be different from NEWS.
we were conditioned to think what we were told to think, by our teachers, By our parents ,by our church and in modern days by news channels ,No matter what we love to believe , no matter which news paper or news channel we subscribe to our knowledge of world was second hand we always learned the story not as what it happened but as what it appeared to the journalist . Journalists were in turn told by their bosses to see what was favorable to their political/corporate/ terrorist godfathers. We never crosschecked we never had a mean to cross check. It is an old axiom that people only question those things which are within there reach nobody wants to go an extra mile in search of truth . J.B.Shaw once said “If a news paper says there is a baby in Texas who has a head of an pig and and body of an human people will believe it but put an sign board in your neighborhood park with “WET PAINT” written over it and people will go to it and check whether it is really wet or not . field of vision seems to be controlling extent of enquiry “??”
The grip of media is so tight and so invisible on our mind and our thinking that sometime we live in a sort of matrix . I wonder this is what orwell meant when he was writing 1984 is the media and its nexus is some sort of BIG BROTHER.
You will be surprised to know that how things looks different once you get it from two different sources (Two Different channels or newspapers) I found myself fortunate to spend my formative years in Sriganganagar a small city near India –Pakistan long before cable television we enjoyed the luxury of two channel Our very own doordarshan and PTV of Pakistan . Initially I used to be amused by listening the two entirely different interpretations of same events in these channel some thing as trivial as a cricket commentary give two different story depending which side of the crowd you want to please or FOOL. This becomes more painful when you see a news report on Kashmir, two channel supporting two views both backed by facts and live transmission .you don’t know what to believe and what not to believe .
But some thing is fundamentally flawed here aren’t we supposed to hear what happened there at the place of event and decide what to think on our own and decide what to back or what to oppose by best of our OWN knowledge but subconsciously we are outsourcing this to media . Every Sunday morning I pickup my newspaper and read what is “swaminomics’s “ stand on latest economic issue and for past 2 year, more often than not it was used to be my stand. I outsourced my opinion. I outsourced my judgment I know people like me are plenty and we are fool enough to consider our self smarter than the villager who believe in something just because that is what told to him by XYZ. But hey stop and think for a while is there any basic different in him and us? Answer is YES his ignorance was forced our ignorance is chosen. we asked for it .
News channel and media are there to report the news not create or explain the news.
That brings us to the Question of how to search for the real story not the modified cooked up version oneway of doing it is to check up internet based news blogs its basically very easy to read and often a first hand account of people who were there at the time of any event . even though these blogs might be a bit raw and unstructured but they are refreshingly honest and candid . people on blog are not bound by any protocols or something to stop them from speaking there mind . one these platform only you can listen to other sides of story and understand other persons view .
when you are exposed to Varity of view on some topic and nobody is there to tell you what to think than only you think and form an opinion and that is your opinion .
for example earlier I used to believe that world is unnecessarily bad for Israel ,that they face hostility of world without doing anything to deserve it . I believed it because I read it in novels, watched it in movies and other source of knowledge were are sympathetic toward Israel and a bit hostile toward muslim people fighting them . but through blogs only I came to know that Israel has also commited it’s share of atrocities on muslims and it has no legal or historical claim on the land of Palestine and Gaza strip
now my views are more fact based and I have a less radical stand on this issue . but this is not important what is important is the fact that the view is my own .
so go on read blogs discover new facts and when you find something interesting don’t forget to tell me .specially if it is about some new tricks to get date or soem new way to do sex
.
We will talk about the impact of internet on commerce in next posting c u than
