Women's day

This day marks the true tribute to one deserved half of the world. Yes, I do know there exists a third variety of the sexes. But innately they either feel like a woman or man. So my statement is justified. This day is a truly remarkable day. I have a special affiliation to it as you would see as I spell it out. Our office had a small celebration today for Women’s day. Celebrations such as these if celebrated at our homes or clubs are called occasions and in a corporate set they are called engagement activities. I seriously don’t know how people get engaged especially when they get pulled out of work to hear some clichéd words and eat some cake and samosa and effectively ruin 30 mins of the day. Without digressing much (you have no idea how much I would love to go on and on………. on this) let me bring you back to our inglorious (sorry Quentin) women’s day celebrations. Did I mention clichés before? So they go like this, one employee asks the other “how come there isn’t a Man’s day or Men’s day?”. The other guy brings all his wit to the fore and replies “Because the other 364 days belong to men.” Loud laughter. (Seriously??!!). The jokes don’t end there. All the women are asked to come to the centre. There is a delicious pine apple cake. But pause. The COO is now cracking a joke on what women want. (Bah!!) Loud laughter again. Dude, it’s the COO u better be laughing.

The eternal question, the power of women, the code tougher than the Da Vinci Code – what women really want. No man has cracked it so far. Do you know why? Because no woman has cracked it so far. Every woman is made unique but there is some serious telepathic interconnectivity when it comes to this. Every woman manages to confuse the man just the same way with some distinguishable patterns. I think the question is never what women REALLY want. The question is simply what women want. It is just that moment and that certain wish. Does she know how to get it fulfilled? Of course, what are you there for? When she looks at you with such dew in her eyes that makes you feel like Superman, did you totally enjoy it? Now wear your underwear on your pants and be ready to fulfill her 1412 wishes. (it is one more than the no. of tigers. They are no match to women’s wishes).

Coming back to our little “engagement activity” in office. Followed by the joke one employee decides to give a 2 min speech as to how important the role of women is in our lives. All the women who are ready to pounce on the cake patiently listen to it. After a series of encomiums one female employee decides to lighten the mood by this joke. She says “God created man and then created woman so that he could rectify all the mistakes he made with the first model. Hence the masterpiece.” Loud laughter. (what did u expect). I was going choke choke But today’s women’s day so they had their moment. Else I wanted to check with that God-woman- employee how come God made man first? Why do we have so few women who are CEOs and COOs? Why do we have so few women who could clinch power and rule states? The masterpiece seems to have some serious flaws.

The last few lines have totally portrayed me in chauvinistic (pig) light. I want to clarify. I am all for the women. I am a big fan of theirs and been so all my life. Afterall they are responsible for the intrinsic beauty of the world. If you are wondering why intrinsic beauty, that’s because someone said beauty isn’t the outer appearance it is what’s inside. I bet that was a woman. Then why do cosmetic companies do roaring business? By the time you read that last line I would have fled from the country. But I still want to clarify my point… I …love…..respect….affection…adulation….am serious…. When was I ever joking….. God, not again…… SAVE ME SOMEONE!!!

The story of the storytellers

Dork: The Incredible Adventures of Robin Einstein Varghese If Chetan Bhagat didn’t do enough to inspire me and confuse me, Sidin Vadukut has just taken it to another level. Let me tell you a little bit about the “CAT” grind. Any averagely informed MBA seeker will realize that there are 6 institutes located in 6 different places of India that abbreviate to 3 letters and one has to master an entrance test, again abbreviated to three letters, to get through the portals of the apex institutes of the management world in India. Once you join a coaching centre it pretty much becomes clear that if the picture of IIM Ahmedabad does not feature next to your beloved family deities then you aren’t really serious about your classes in these institutes which will put you through a psychological toughness that is required to endure 2 hours which will largely constitute inability to answer most questions. Once you come out you feel like shit and feel much better when you see the thousand odd students ...

Why Chelsea?

I’ve often held this grouse against Liverpool and Manchester United’s fans that when you tend to have a discussion with them they bring out the reference of the “glory” days of the clubs. Man U in some respects have continued their supremacy owing to the twin factors of a tenacious manager and some poor performances of their rivals. But Liverpool as long as I have followed the league have been very patchy. They throw in some brilliant unstoppable performances some times and play utterly clueless football at other times. There is no denying the glorious history of the club. They have been the club with the most number of premier league titles and a history that’s etched in stone and full of achievements. If anybody does begin giving me a lesson on the history of football where the club that I follow features very little in, one would still find an ardent listener in me, because ‘we love this game'. But to all those people who have followed the glory days of Arsenal and Liverpool,...

Have you been a victim of attraction?

Have you been a victim of attraction? It is so tempting that even if u are made of steel, u’ve got to sway. It’s irresistible. It is seductive. It keeps luring you away. Attraction is usually for something, for example you are attracted to a particular object or person. Attainment of the same isn’t half as fulfilling as what attraction does to us. That’s why Hope is such a wonderful thing. It keeps us in a dream land of belief that someday things will change. The concept of some day is so fantastic that it, in most cases, will lead you to inaction. The “some day” has to be created by you. Hoping is just the odor. The actual thing is the source of the sweetness. Odor just has a marijuana effect, hence fighting it is tremendously difficult. You need guts to overcome the lure of attraction. It is fancy to dream big but if you don’t know your route to achievement then your dream is just a movie that has flown you away one minute and crash lands you the next. But attraction in itself isn’...
