President(s)?

Yesterday NPR (National Public Radio) featured a debate between the presidential candidates that took place in Iowa. Many important topics were discussed and the candidates tried their best to clearly state their position on various issues such as immigration, economy, war, foreign policy, etc. They also addressed questions such as "Can we please remove options for choosing other languages and messages like ' Para espanol oprima dos' from all the government services calls, since we are an English speaking nation, why should we be asked what language we speak." Yes, that was actually a question asked by some voter living in some small town ..hopefully.. who needs a history lesson desperately... obviously the candidates agreed that we are a diverse nation with many nationalities residing here therefore, government services calls will be provided in many languages that are popular here besides english. During the whole debate, there were moments when the candidates pointed fingers at one another, but in general there were times when they all seemed to bring solutions to the table that would work if they could create a best possible hybrid out of all that was proposed. I thought what about having more than one person as a president? What about having a group? I mean when a group will work together shouldn't it be less likely that they will make a mistake, as a group they should be able to give various perspectives and really inspect solutions proposed by others to see where the defects may be ? That's another thing instead of talking about what each candidate deems to be a solution, why don't they talk about how the solutions proposed by the others will or will not work, and what can be done to improve it. Afterall, don't we all want to see some of the major issues figured out and how can one person come up with solutions to all ?

Amazing...

Try not to watch this video more than one time. Once the song gets stuck in your head, it's extremely difficult to tune out this great music.

To Boss,

 
At present, I do not have the balls to tell you how exactly I feel about you. The closest thing that I will do for now, is pour out my frustrations via this blog in order to still maintain my sanity, so here goes...

Stop saying, "wow it's a pleasant surprise to see you hear so early" everytime I show up before 9.

Stop saying, "are you sure you can get this done?" If I tell you I'll get something done, I'll get something done.

Stop saying "got a hot date tonight?" everytime I plan on leaving early.

Stop saying, "wow i'm surprised you 'actually' took care of this..." sarcastically everytime I finish up a task.

Stop saying, "got plans this weekend as usual?" Yes boss, I will always have plans over the weekends and will do my BEST not to log into work to check e-mails like you do.

Stop looking at me like I am some kind of an idiot. Only selective people, handpicked by me have the authority to do so.

I like taking long lunches. And no, I do not like having lunch with the team, frankly because I think our team is pretty boring. I don't mind putting up with them at work, but I like having lunch as ME time.

Best Regards,
If only I can say all this to you in reality.

Another level of insane

As many of you have noticed, when it comes to our cricket team losing matches, my sanity is compromised at all levels, for a quick overview of what happened last time ... do read this

Even though it's been a few weeks since Marion Jones admitted to doping, it took me some time to sketch up my initial thoughts about her situation and our cricket team..

wait !! there's MORE

Ranbir Kapoor drops the towel

http://www.glamsham.com/movies/scoops/07/oct/29_shahrukh_khan_ranbir_kapoor_saawariya_heyy_babyy_100705.asp

Gone are the days when women shedding clothes for camera used to make news. Today, even men are not far behind, especially in 2007 when first the trio of Akshay Kumar, Fardeen Khan and Riteish Deshmukh did it for HEYY BABYY, followed by Shahrukh Khan in OM SHANTI OM and of course Salman Khan in each of his films.

Now add Ranbir Kapoor to the list who has featured topless in the song 'Jab Se Tere Nain' with just a towel wrapped around his waist. While his boyish charm is at full display in the song as he gets all mooney-eyed for the love of his life, Sonam, there are some naughty antics at display too which should have the women folk swooning.

This is not all as a shot in the song requires him to carelessly fall on the ground with his towel dropping on one side of the body, hence exposing a bountiful of the leggy Kapoor.

.. But eventually we encountered the mother of them all as you can see from the title
There was silence after this ..

A-Choo

My coworker should have written the following post, but she looked at me all weird when I requested for her to do so. Hence, I'll just write it on her behalf...

My coworker's friend wanted to go get a haircut. Coworker's friend (CF) went to a barbershop, got his hair washed and right when barber was about to start cutting CF's hair, barber sneezed really loud, phlegmy and snottily once into the air and once into his hands. Instead of washing hands, barber simply wipes hands on shirt and starts to cut CF's hair.

CF disgusted, but still wanting to be polite and not wanting to put barber on the spot says, "umm... can you wash hands and rewash my hair?".
Barber looks at him all funny, and goes, "why?"
CF says, "Just because... I'm very paranoid about my hair being clean.. ahem ahem.."

After the hair is washed, and cut, CF get's ready to pay the bill and sees that barber charged twice for washing the hair.
CF enraged goes, "Barber, I don't want to pay twice. I asked you to wash my hair again because you sneezed into the open around me, and then you sneezed into your hands and didn't wash your hands!"
Barber had the nerve to say, "but my hands were still clean even after i sneezed into them..."
