money can buy me!!!

The most popular song running in my mind nowadays (my mind has its own popularity chart which runs multiple songs at a given time) is "kyun paisa paisa karti hai ...paise per kyun marti hai..." from de dana dan..
Its a tuf question to answer..why we want money...all of us know that we would have more comfort once we have lots of money but that will also involve a lot of management...and will we ever get enuf of it (money not management)...

Sometime ago i read a story (a forward) abt some fisherman living in some coastal area (guess it was in USA) who lazed around most of the day enjoying their lives with their families and friends..and fished just to fulfill their necessities..and then a city person-an MBA to be more accurate(yet another joke on us MBAs) came down telling them that they should fish more often..which will lead to more money, multiple houses, more comfort more .... at the end leading to more time for them to spend with their friends and family - Essentially what they were doing anyways...
So the moral of story is that we are running behind things which will help us getting things which we dont realise we already have!!!

Well I came to think of money is because I am trying to use adsense on my blog-very obvious duh!! and even though I have written about many many topics only one seems to be cacthing the whole ads attention - my credir(I misspelt in the title of post) card horror story...
Money (or relatives) seems to be popular even here!!

PS: the title is the response to the question in the song mentioned at the beginning!

google

I am trying out google wave.. its nothing great..feels like a clutter...hope the crowd computing makes it into something worth...
I have to try out google analytics in detail..I am trying to run it for my blog (well thats my only website) but to start with it has so many links and interlinks when you start reading..i got so confused I left!!

century!

This is apparently my 100th post..woaa in 3 years i have been able to reach 100...Quite fast I say..(i say is the effect of radio one- bengaluru which I listen to religiously for 1-1.5 hrs each morning evening on my way to work and back..) yes I am now in bangalore finally...
Finally I have move out of chennai; i hated it; staying there for almost last 2.5 years..was a torture almost always...
Now the life is totally changed...industries, my routine ..everything...its a new world..
I tried blogging from my new mobile but it dint work.. :(
I actually typed almost a post and it dint autosave.... :'((
There are still thousands of thoughts that cross my mind which I want to write here and ponder on them (ha ha pondering on a thought who uses such language now)..anyways it actually does help me to think about something when i write it out here....
so thats one reason for writing a blog!!

work without pay

Well its not me who worked without getting paid; but i felt that SHankar Ehsan Loy werent paid for the music of London Dreams neither was Prasoon Joshi was for his Lyrics...
I mean how can SEL can do this to their fans...
The movie could have been much much much better...
I like Salman...and Ajay can never act...Asin luks boring..even ranbir wasnt useful...Om Puri was insulted by giving such a role...
..But yes I did sit through it...and ran off as soon as the credits started rolling

forgive and forget!

sometimes the closest ones of urs upset u and u cant forgive them for the rest of the life...
sometimes ur friends /acquaintances do something really bad that upsets you and u just let go of it after sometime...

Y is it difficult to forgive and forget what ur closest ones have done but easier for others... they are also just humans...

ICICI credir card is horrible!!!!

Its the angst i feel that gets me to visit my blog to write time and again..
this time its the credit card...
The icici credit card I hold has a credit limit of 66k and behaving myself last month i didnt overspent(atleast on my credit card) and managed to be maintain a credit balance of arnd 6k...
Well my mom was interetsed in buying of smthng in gold for herself and I decided to use my hard effort saved credit balance and splurge in there...
I gave my credit card to swipe and mount of something arnd 26k and the transaction was declined to my utter surprise..well this happened twice thrice...i called up customer care and we are all aware after a good full 5 min I was able to speak to someone in there who simply told me that your swipe was stalled for security reason and instructed me that dont keep on trying but try after 10 min..it will be APPROVED(yeah to spend withing my credit limit they are giving me an approval- wat an honour)..
adding to my humiliation it dint work again after 11-12 min(yes i was counting every minute as it was a humiliation that the credit card company subjected me to)

AGain it was declined and again after trying to reach for a customer care(they should change teh name to customer harrasment) the guy proudly tole me u can buy only worth 20 k of gold(wat on earth.......)
i kept on telling him its none of his business how much i swipe till its in my limit... but NO the self appointed credit Limiter had put a limit on my pre approved credit limit!!!
To my utter dismay the card was declined again even for my approved 20K...bl^&&* H&*$ ...
What on earth these companies think of themselves?? I have never defaluted on my credit card payment and this is what i get in return!!!
I have decided to close ICICI credit card and switch to someone else!!! and yes I will keep badmouthing ICICI at every avaialble opportunity!!!

just like that...

Watched "the ugly truth" - went without expectations- even the hero dint look attractive enough to entice - anyhow but due to lack of options i went.
I found the language thoroughly offensive
BUT (now thats a big but) i laughed my heart out... may be its the punch or the delivery...i njoyed it just too much...


*************************************************************************************

Should comments on facebook be taken personally?!
How do you tell someone that u dont agree with the thoughts they are endorsing without realting it to them in anyway...

***********************************************************************************

I am frequenting bangalore just too much and my system is a flop one which hangs every now and then and so... I am blogging so less....anyways another important reason- i am playing a lot of facebook games and enjoying it...i think i can live my entire life playing these games and ofcourse the new ones that I am sure will keep on coming!

What one wants?

Ok... I have become judgemental and have been giving reviews abt the places I am visiting: which are about the things/ services anyone wants:

First in line is the one restaurant in Chennai which i was deciding to write about when it opened last year called northern spices in Nungambakam (well it closed down officially this year may :( ))
It had the nearest north indian cuisine and reasonable rates....that i had come across in chennai....
I took everyone there - my parents, my friends, their hubbies... ofcourse the crowd was always thin there and mostly we were the only people eating there... no doubt it was supposed to get closed sooner or later.... I miss that restaurant and finally i am writing about it as i had thought at the time of my first visit there, though a bit too late....


next in line is the parlour which i had good opinion about and which scored 8 of 10 in my opinion almost 2 years ago and now its just 2 off 10...
Its he naturals saloon at spencers plaza...I have been avoiding it later and have finally decided never to go there again... their last stroke came yesterday when after my manicure and pedicure i saw scrathces all over my nails....and trying to fool the customers in the name of spa pedicure...come on guys...its a services company for God's sake..and we specially dont fool people who have been ur regular customers and who are well aware of the processes. This parlour has totally lost it and now has a gud competition with a new smaller parlour having opened bang opposite.. I wish the new kiddo on the block all the best...


well being a cold coffee person i have been to ccds in all the places i have stayed in- Mangalore, Manipal, Bangalore, Chennai, Mumbai, cochin.... and my ranking for the best ccds are:
1. Cochin, one of the best ccds i have visited...
2. Manipal, i adored the choc-a- vloc there and the service was real gud...
3. Mumbai, nice ones whichever i visited
4. Bangalore, all the ccds are decent..
5. Mangalore - gud ones

well Chennai is definitely out of question as the CCDs here are worse than anywhere and worse then each other- actually i believe they have an intracity competition of who can serve the worst...my two takas on various CCDs in Chennai:
1. Shoppers stop - ooh horrible, they serve water coffee and sugar with a hint of milk..
2. Ispahani center - my oh my why doesnt the AC work here
3. Lifetsyle-City center- my dear customer only God can save u!!
4. Somewhere in gopalapuram - we dont have anything in stock...
5. i dont remember all the others but they have surely made me a more loyal customer to Barista when i am in chennai..while earlier I was one CCD loyalist everywhere else...still waiting to find a decent CCD in chennai...

rest reviews later....

My two takas....

my two taka on Naukri.com only for women: It sucks!!!!!

my two taka on movie: "the proposal" : u wud never miss it..it has a share of laughs but definitely not a must watch and ohhh so predictable and sandra bullock is looking OLD in the first half... i am sure there are better make up people like the ones who worked on her for the second half..and the lead actor..not at all a hottie or handsome :(

my two taka on book :"The woodlanders": I am loving it...full review once i finish it...

I hate:

Not being able to watch movies for a long time - its almost a month now!!!

Not being able to switch becoz u cant sell urself gud enuf!!

Not being appreciated!

People who talk loudly on phone when others are around!!!

Girls who show off their BFs or vice versa (u knw how much i hate it in my earlier post).

Coming back from Bangalore (weather from heaven) to chennai(weather from hell)..

Packing and unpacking before and after a trip!!

and a lot many things- but woh sab...phir kabhi.....
