India changes every moment

Posted by Praveen राठी

After a long gap, I thought of surfing through the blogs/net for the updates my friends have put. Not that I was very busy all these days, but just didn't feel like browising the internet (though the security audits in my company were also a reason). I had started getting a feeling of emptiness and then some introspection led me to Google and hence the blogs. Feeling better now! :)

Things have lot changed since I last visited my "Blogroll".

Stock markets have revived (and how?) post elections and UPA's thumping win.

2-month long strike of Bollywood's film producers against the multiplex owners ended. Movies ringing again.

IPL got over. Cricketers made heavy bucks in SA, but our filmstars associated with different teams ended up in disappointment.

T20 worldcup - debacle for Indian team.

I am too happy for Saina Nehwal. Wish her all the best! Most of the people erratically pronounce her "Sania".

iRace (Infosys Role and Career Enhancement) got implemented. Lemme tell you, employees were really nervous about this, though it had absolutely no impact on their salaries and compensations.

Nandan quit Infy and joined as the head of the Unique Identification Authority of India (who says govt jobs are not challenging). Got a forward this morning only which says that Nandan after attending his first session in Parliament, sent an SMS to our chief mentor NRN: "You won’t believe it but these guys work just like us. I am on a NATIONAL BENCH for the next three months!". Details on another blog here.

Monsoons (Rains, to be precise) finally arrived in Pune making it all green after a long wait.

And many more that I can't recollect right now...

And I am ready to move back to Bengaluru. I am a better swimmer and a better cook now (can feed myself atleast).

During the surf process, got this thread on Microsoft answers: "Hard Drive weight increasing?" and I am pleasantly amazed to see how people are trying to make the customer understand that there is no way we can have an equation to convert "memory" into "weight". Ha ha ha ...

And all the while I have been writing this, I was thinking of a caption for this post. Could not get any! Now I need to invest 5 independent minutes into this task.

Na, still no help with the title of the post. But "Ah! what an enjoyment it is to read the views/reviews/re-reviews on the net." I'll try to be more regular.

That blog seems to be a good result of imagination. Nothing more.

Talking of Saina, do you know that her coach is P Gopichand who has an Arjuna award, a Khel Ratna and now a Dronacharya award in his kitty!

Yeah.. right. That's what we too concluded here. But, it was a good read.

"Saina" .. yes I am aware. Born in Hisar, Haryana :-P and the Indonesian Open that she won recently was one of the rare tournaments when her coach "P Gopichand" was not physically accompanying her.
It feels so good to see the Indian Flag in this Chart
