The List - June 2010

List of me musings for 2010 (so far) - Thirteen per day only

1. People don't know how to wear a suit properly. Sometimes you'll see people wearing the most ghastly suits with even more ghastly shoes and ask yourself why they even bother putting on a suit only to look more like a monkey when they do.
2. People just lack manners and any kind of professional etiquette in India. Yes, I am Indian and I am not particularly fond of how people say you know I want a job in XYZ and it will be better for me when you can actually start now and save yourself (perhaps the country too). Someone always comes back and tries to tell me better by trying to blow rainbows up my ass here. My only reply is George Michael might like it from you more than I will.
3. Telling someone your not capable of mentally growing is already destroying your credibility with them. Don't waste your time trying to move on in life if you've got this attitude. Chances are you've already condemned yourself to a life of meaningless existence and you haven't realized it yourself.
4. High-Definition Television is only 720P and above. Anything else is pointless and shouldn't be advertised as such. MPEG-4 isn't high-def by itself nor will it ever be.
5. People in the country which I live in thrive on "I'll do it yaar" or "Chalta Hai". I'd love a doc to tell them that when someone they care about or they themselves are on their death bed.
6. Zero is the new infinity. Think about it.
7. Companies that claim that they want new and fresh ideas really want older people with proven ideas to work for them.
8. A slut is a male definition not a societal one. Got any other explanation for it? Go ahead I am all ears.
9. Cricket is good as long as its on a channel that is far away from what I want to watch.
10. South Africa has done a good job for the World Cup and probably will do for the rest of the WC as well.
11. England will not make it past the quarter finals in the WC. When they do crash the tabloids in the United Kingdom will do what they do best ... move onto bashing the players personal lives.
12. SAAS is the future and sadly no one is seeing how big it is going to be and capitalizing on it.
13. Steve Jobs is going to die soon and when he does, Apple will still churn out hot products because he's only selling them not making them. The next time that someone says that Jobs made the iPod I will point them to Google and remind them to read first then post.
