If the service quality in Government establishments sometimes get on your nerves, then here is one of the few management principles to deal with them and extract the maximum possible benefits out of them. Now before beginning i must apologise to every government official, if they chance to read this, but I don't think I am any different from the majority by saying that employees of gov jobs have got a kind of attitude that is not much liked.
Today I set off on foot to the local Post Office to withdraw the interest they provide on my savings account. My journey to the post office is also no less interesting. It's more like an expedition and less like a quarter mile walk. The road to Post office which is infamous for the swamps, open man-holes, uneven terrains and unscrupulously parked vehicles which appear to be goading you by saying "look at your pityful condition. You don't even have a place to stand... Dare to cross us...". Well unfortunately there are no parking waalaahs here so we don't have anyone to blame for the disorderly parked vehicles unlike in new market. As you step inside the building, the stench of urinals will burn your nose. If you investigate a little you'll be surprised to know that there is no public urinal in the building, this probably means that a few minutes ago someone might have drained himself on the wall you are leaning against. A few more remarkable features are the 'exclamattion marks' in indelible red paint produced by chewing a betel leaf filled with "who cares" ingredients and dying plaster falling off the walls like glaciers of the Himalayas.. Ohh!! my apology, the simile is incorrect... glaciers are white. I think now you have an explanation why gov employees behave the way they do. So in order to deal with them, you need to have high levels of patience, a commanding voice tuned to a pleading mode and observation skill. The most obvious scene inside the office will be a not so useful conversation going on on a not so useful topic. So in order to cut the conversation, find the moderator i.e. the person who is influencing and controlling the discussion. The next step is to approach the moderator with the work you came to the office for. This will result into two consequences. Either (if he is the person concerned) he will stop the discussion and start doing your work or he will point out someone else for it.In the latter case you need to eyeball the moderator so that he doesn't start the discussion again.This happens because he will be annoyed and will be loking for a chance to launch a quarrel with you, hence the discussion comes to a freeze. Apart from this there are few more consequences. Like the discussion continuing even when they are doing the work. In order to deal with such situations you need to interfere with the work of the person you are getting your work done from. Just try to confuse him with your presence of mind and in a few moments he will be devoting his full attention to your task... So guys this is all... good luck with gov employees

Jannat Barooay Zameen Ast, then it is this

Bhopal,
If there is heaven up there... I saw a glimpse of it today. I have never seen an 'oh so romantic' a blue sky. The aphrodisiac fragrance of a winter morning has never been so bewitching. The clouds have never seemed so exquisite, all I missed was a camera to capture the moment forever into my life.
As I drove my way back to home from hostel, after a sleep over following an exquisite chicken curry delight prepared by Chef cum Engineer Tiwari, a delightful experience for winter, I couldn't keep my eyes off the picturesque views. I drove watching the greens rejuvenated and a morning made beautiful by an untimed night drizzle. I was however a little bit intimidated, the night before, by the cold, that generally follows such winter drizzles and hence that would prevail from the next day. But this magnificent climate seems to have shadowed my apprehensions. I have never felt so romantic on a morning like this before. It has unleashed the aesthetic human inside me. So beautiful it was today that these words spilled out of my heart and fluttered my lips "If there is heaven on earth... it is this, it is this, it is this"

My crush(es)

However I am very well acquainted with the fact that my blog is no more hidden from my family members but i must mention that I am no more a coward in admitting truths. So I can now make a confession... A confession about the first crush I had. The confession about the longest crush I had. The confession about the shortest crush I had. And here I must mention that all through my life, till now, I have had only 2 crushes; none of which is prevailent anymore.
There have been only 2 girls in this world so far who have blown dangerous avalanches in my mind. Through 'dangerous' I certainly don't mean that I was madly after them. Of course I have a habit of getting berserck and lunatic about a goal I wish to acheive. I chase those things in a mad pursuit..(Sorry for praising myself, I hate it as well. But it was required here)
But unfortunately girls are no 'thing'. So I never took any step.Very soon I will post about it... This was just a teaser... :-P

Yet another contravention of a grand convention
13 Dec '09,
6:00 pm,
It's 6 PM, the sun has gone beyond the horizon and the twilight is dissolving in air as if God is hippie and took a marijuana drag just a few seconds ago and the smoke is fading out in the sky. A few kids can be heard frolicking a few blocks away and chorusing the tune of a telecom company... Free ADVERTISING!!! There parents should ask for money from the company. I scratched my scalp and despaired at the strands of hair falling out on my diary which lies on today's newspaper. I don't want to become Vin Diesel before you know what or even Nicolas Cage for that matter.(D-:)
I swayed away my mind from my distressed coiffure back to the newspaper, The Copenhagen saga is still on. While the entire world is clamoring for curtailing carbon emissions, a clan of intellectuals, which I am adhering to, is pessimistic about the convention. Will the conference be worth all this effort? Even if a consensus is built up, which seems unlikely after the EU taking a stand and the Beijing summit conglomerates denying to accept the treaty in it's present form, it won't make much of a difference to the prevailing climatic degradation. History is full of examples wherein treaties have been violated by countries to shirk political and economical instability within the territory of same. The most relevant example being the Kyoto Protocol which wasn't earnestly followed since closing down industries and slowing growth rate, the only possible option in absence of technological changes, would have caused serious turmoil in the nations concerned. As a Result the countries didn't compy to the target of reducing emmission rate by 5% of what was in the year 1990. In Fact the emmission rates have surged disasterously. But of course there have been numerous technological innovations for the sake of environment, but very few of them have been viable.
Surrender to the truth!!! We are in a cul de sac. Either we must compromise on political instability or conjure up some viable technological solution or put an individual effort. I shall stick to the last one instead of summoning countries for conventions with such pomp and grandeur. To simplify things, the problem can be solved much well on an individual effort rather than creating a brouhaha on an international level which does nothing but intimidates and paralyses the common man.

Women-The biggest puzzle

If woman is said to be the reason behind your success. Then history is evident she will destroy it as well with finesse. I must mention here that I am not saying this out of any personal experience but after the calamity that has befallen the ace golfer,Tiger Woods. After the fate bringing him to a sure end of his golf career, now it was time for Gillete to make a blow. They have axed the $19.4 billion deal with the golf-God. Let's see what's more for him in this Pandora's box. That's why they have rightly said If she can wade off your woes, then she can also become worst of your foes....
