Awesome!!!
Simple English Please
Over the last few weeks, I have had the pleasure of interacting with a lot of people from almost all walks of life - from the CEO’s to the average guy you see everyday. In all these occasions, one thing that baffled me was how people go to lengths to use complicated phrases for things that could be explained in plain, simple English.
Not that it is bad to use such words, but why make things hard for the people involved. If your daily routine involves using complicated terms, then I guess its not bad. But when it is not, why go the extra mile when you can accomplish the same task much easier and simpler?
At the same time, I wonder if the people (including myself) listening to such conversations understand what exactly is being conveyed! I don’t understand much of these jargons and corporate savvy terms that I come across everyday. So, I make it a point to interrupt and ask them the meaning for the same, even they think something else about me.
The main purpose of communication is to ensure that everyone understands it properly and to do that one must be express it clearly and plainly. No matter how great one talks, if others are not able to understand what you are trying to tell them, then it just doesn’t serve the purpose at all.
So, talk in Simple, Plain English Please 
A Slow Start
For some unidentified reason, November has been very slow so far. Nothing interesting happening off late and It’s been pretty boring and uninteresting. By the time i reach home after work, i am pretty much tired and just do only the basic stuff online. While i have written a lot of new stuff, somehow i haven’t had the urge to publish them yet.
Oh yeah, i watched Quantum of Solace today and i loved this new “dark” look of Bond

The Day the Earth Stood Still
Priority
I had actually listened to this song before but i was in the midst of doing something else, so i didn’t quite tune in. Fortunately, i listened in today and i am glad i did :). A beautiful rendition of the Electric Sitar and what a wonderful way to start this Diwali! BTW, the song is called “Priority” and it is by “Niladri Kumar”
Blogging Hiatus
First it was the lack of inspiration and now its Diwali season. I am hoping to post regularly/more after Diwali.
BTW, all these lovely comics are by Blog Comics
Happy Sweetest Day
I just found out tomorrow, October 18th is “Sweetest Day”. Whether it is celebrated worldwide or not, who cares. Another reason to have fun and enjoy.
Blog Action Day 2008
Today is Blog Action Day where bloggers/sites around the world will publish, donate, or promote the issue of poverty.
Lack of Inspiration
For the last few days, I really no inspiration/thoughts to write. I have reasons to write and I do want to write a poem, but somehow the thought process (or as i call it, the feel) is not happening. 
The Beginning of Happiness
As soon as i entered the house, a strange silence fell over me. It was as if i had become dumb all of a sudden. Nothing could prepare me for what i witnessed. Emotions were mixed and i simply did not know how to react.
It all started like as usual. A quick shower, a quick bite and race to the office before the early morning rush settled in. Just like everyday, i greeted him via a text message.
But today was a little bit different. He did not respond immediately like how he always does. I assumed he would be driving so the delay.
As i waited for his reply, i gradually settled down to the day’s work. I work in a very busy environment where every second counts and the boss watches like an eagle ready to pounce on the moment someone relaxes. As I started work, my mind kept wandering to the missing text message that should have been here almost an hour ago.
