The entrepreneur inside

Well, I expect a tinge of excitement and enthu with each new article I read, everything new thats put in front of me. The excitement lasts a couple of days. The thirst to know more lasts a couple of hours and a desire to do something about it lasts ... well ... gone before I dare to think twice.

Anyway, the gist of the story is that I came across this piece of lecture, which blew away my mind.

The world is flat

The authors talks for about an hour on various interesting topics revolving around globalization, offshoring, insourcing (yeah, this exits too), outsourcing .... well , what he says , flattening of the world. And as like any good orator, he tells numerous interesting stories that proves that the world is, in fact, flat. What makes the article interesting is that you can totally relate to it.

Well, you enjoy Mr. Friedman, while a little entrepreneur inside me thinks of doing something revolutionary around the concept ;).

beta isiliye sharaab nahi peena.

As I returned towards my car, I saw something. The driver’s side was on opposite direction as I walked, and a head plus mustache was popping out of the roof. I was quite sure that there was an uncleji standing trying to unlock my car. My head started working fast.

Why is he trying to unlock my car? Is he trying to steal it? Not a very good thief I guess trying to do that right in front of me. Ok wait, he’s too dumb to be a thief. Thieves are not dumb. My bike was stolen last week and the guy who stole it must be as smart as a PHd atleast. We were like 8th pass in front of him. So whats that uncleji up to?

Maybe he is just standing behind the car hiding from someone. His wife? Yeah, wives can be scary. But no. People want to hide, rather run away from them but usually can’t. Kids? Playing? Na. Not on this street. Look, his hand is in sight now. And there is a key. The key is in the lock. And he’s definitely trying to open my car. Damn the uncleji, I have a remote controlled central locking system. What does he know ? Remote Control hai mere paas.

No wait, may be its not my car. Aah, that gives the answer. What was I thinking? Dumb me. There is a similar car on side. Ye lo, that’s the one which is mine, not this one. Bechare uncleji faaltoo “damn you” kha gaye itni baar. Dhatt tere ki. Jao maaf kiya.

Smiley. Sigh. Wait.

I pressed unlocked button on remote.

[OINK] [OINK]

Uncleji’s hand came to a sudden halt after, what seemed like a month of trying to open the lock. That was in fact my car. And lock opening sound has just shocked him. Petrified for like 5 second, he realized what has happened.

Back to his senses he yelled, “Oh! Arey!! Oye!!! Sorry beta !!!” as he walked away embarrassingly to his car, probably thinking “aage se itni kabhi nahi. Tauba.” … ;)

Me and my friends had almost laughed our kidneys out as we entered our car … :) …

u-turn

Life takes a u-turn. Well, looks like it. I wondered how come people get fed up of nothing to worry? I did the same. Well, I realized how much worth I have become four years of watching fwded stuff, beer-ing on fridays, and remaining ghar ka laat shaab with his own seperate room full of TV stuff. Someone must have realised that and corrugated my mind with the opposite. I wonder how can I get brainwashed with such stuff. Hell lot of talent this person must have had. I was thinking of wat was going through my mind , and hey , even u don't get it , but i am still convinced.

i thought of all the ironing and dhulai i'd hav to take care myself, but it wud probably build some character as my mom says. I'd go with "Z" if it really does.

i thought of all the eat-something-just-to-eat-stuff i'd have to do outside, but it'll probably get me more versatalite at eating. I may end up learning how to eat bhindi or arabi for instance. yuckk!!

i thought of all the phone calls i wud wait for , and later wonder why dint i get any. well, i mean, wat wud i do when i'll hav lotzz of time. But hey, i'll hav lotzz of time, i guess ;)

and look at all the extra beer-ing i'd hav to do :(. But again, on a positive note, look at all the extra beer-ing i'd hav to do ;)

And if nothing else, I cud get married in the end .... ;) . But Wait, this talented person, i mean me, is trying to convince me again that probably i should not ...
