Do you know your preferences

This test was designed at Harvard university to identify the inclination of people on various subjects. They have a load of documents that address accuracy issues but explanation was pretty unique. Try it out.

Google Fight

If you are sitting around at work with nothing else to do this is an enterprising way of entertaining yourself. Googling your name is outdated; now you can fight other people. Fun thing to do for a few minutes. Unfortunately algorithm not given.

Supposed to be the Big Daddy of all medical search engines

This search engine was developed by a couple of Indians and is supposed to read through all the contents of a page and display it in an organized format. For example if you search for Piles the page will display results for Piles in the following format:
What is Piles (122 results)
Advanced Piles (91 Results)
Piles support groups (Not supposed to be funny - 67 results)
It is limited to medical searches right and hopefully will expand in the future. There is a dumbass article in the "Times of India" which misleads the reader hence please make it a point to disregard the information.

Light at the end of the Tunnel for Indian politics

I have been a stickler for education and educated people in politics. I think "Paritrana" led by Rajpurohit would define the future politics of India. I cannot predict the level of success that this party would achieve but it would definitely alter the path of present day Indian politics. The skeptics might think "well why would these guys be any different" and my rebuttal is that they are not 85 and know that they will have to stay at least partly true to progress of the country to get re-elected. More over I sincerely believe that their education will push them towards being progressive and productive (Atleast they can sign unlike Rabri Devi). Finally I think there is minimal risk involved in trying out these guys because they cannot do anything that will worsen the situation in our country.
Peace
PS: For those of you who feel that India’s progress has been up to par and I have been overly critical of our leaders - You are sadly mistaken, India with it's vast resources should have been at the top of the world. India's recent economic success is the result of extra-ordinary hard work and dedication by (Indian) Gen Xer's.

Osama is happy to be in the no.1 spot

Mr. Bin Laden let a sigh of relief in his isolated and under-decorated Tora Bora cave as soon as his agent Muhammad Al Tikriti Al Bulbul Al Dickhead informed him about the shift in rankings. Mr. Bin Laden had not been doing well lately with the arrival of naturals like Katrina and Tsunami. He has held a relative sway in the notorious world rankings fending off mild competition from Mr. Kim Jong Il (For his actions and treatment of people in North Korea), Mr. Zarqawi (For his terrorist actions), Mr. Pat Robertson (For his stupidity) and Mr. Simon Colwell (For being himself).

Mr. Laden quoted to the Al-Jazeera reporter that he was happy and that it was because of Allah that he was able to retain this title also adding that there was a Jewish conspiracy. When asked why and where the conspiracy was Mr. Bin Laden declined to comment and wanted to end the interview with a threat that "United States will pay if it does not withdraw from Iraq". When Osama was told that the Americans were paying a very heavy price to stay in Iraq and trying to improve the situation he reacted angrily that he does not want Western Values in the pure Moslem world.

The reporter wanted to continue his interview but he was interrupted by Mr. Bin Laden's agent who wanted to let Osama know that his new 11 year old bride is ready to be deflowered. Osama looked at his Rolex and almost jumped out of his seat and quickly popped a few Viagra’s before slipping into inner cave room. Osama's agent refused to comment but categorically stated that although there have been rumors that Osama's power has dwindled tremendously he still can generate interest through audio threats and vague references. When asked about career alternatives, Mr.Bin Ladens agent said that Osama might be interested in joining either the Dixie Chicks (He has experience in audio recording) or take a position with Halliburton (especially marketing) so that he can use his past contacts.

Think it through, the male female ratio in India

I think most newspapers like sensationalism and don't think through the whole process. They are taking the statiscal data and interpreting results but none of them have give thought as to why this is happening? Fundamentally there was a population boom and resources were scarce. Hence children soon became a means of income and male children were preferred over female children as they were better suited for physical labor. Now most of these dumb ass newspapers have presented the data and a million other opinions but none to solve the actual problem. Preaching morality and equality will not help these people because hunger supersedes everything. These people need help with employment, feeding their kids and education. Well most of the activists don't want to deal with the ground reality, they just want to argue about the consequences of the situation in an upscale coffee shop. Oh by the way I'm waiting for the bra burners to jump on this, conduct rallies and demand justice for women (Oops a small paradox, the mother is equally responsible for the abortion). I'm sure such practices will be condemned by most politicians too but unfortunately most of people who are doing this cannot hear you (apparently there are people out there who don't have radio's) and even if they get the message they don't really give a shit because "you don't know what they went through and are going through".

Welcome to the land of amazingly stupid

What is wrong with Pat Robertson? Can’t he for once shut up or say something logical. I understand that it is his trademark behavior but he is crossing over to the land of amazingly stupid. Well President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad would welcome him to the band. (For further details http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/12/14/iran.israel/)

A Different Perspective

I consider myself to be in the IT industry although I hardly contribute to its progress. I have been hanging out with a lot of IT professionals lately and hence thought it would be justified to write about a few of their opinions about various issues:

WBA (Web logic Admin) enters the apartment gingerly on a Friday night and sees WMA (Web methods Admin), VBP (VB Programmer),BB (Bench Boy), DBA (Database Admin) and WBA2 hanging out.

WBA2 to WBA: What kaka, why so late?
WBA: Too much work and the dicks assigned tickets right at 4:45.
WBA2: I thought Jason was working late today, why didn’t they assign the tickets to him?
WBA: Eeh! He hardly knows anything; I guess he was hired because of affirmative action.
WBA to BB: What’s up?
BB: Two bed rooms and a bathroom.
WBA: Joke aa!!!
BB: Yuppers like my interview
DBA: Avunu kaka what happened?
BB: In simple terms – middle man interview, tell no communication skills, I tell I can program, she tell I need talking, programming not important.
WMA: I think she was right being able to speak well in English is a key part of the job.
BB: But I’m a programmer and isn’t that what I should be focusing on.
WMA: But what about communicating your thoughts and ideas?
BB: English is not the only language in the world is it?
WMA: Well we are in the US
VBP: What about rest of the world isn’t English being imposed on everybody?
WBA2: That is true
WBA: If you guys feel so strongly about this issue why come to this country and speak in English?
VBP: You are taking an extreme stance but we are merely questioning the concept of adapting English as a common language. We are willing to work with the system but we think would it not be advisable to adapt Chinese as “The business language” since it is spoken by the most number of people in the world?
WMA: But English is already established.
BB: All good things have to begin somewhere.
WBA: But don’t you think the change process would face huge obstacles?
DBA: Well at least the ASEAN block can have a different common language right and that would be a decent start.
WMA: I have my doubts about the applicability.
WBA: What about Telugu?
BB: Sounds great
VBP: It will be worse than before none of us can speak decent Telugu, it is a matter of shame but the absolute truth.
WBA2: That is true, we are not good at anything and that is why we are in the IT industry.

And you think you are stereotyped

Well they claim that they are always stereotyped but hey the rest of the world might be right. No you wouldn't give it to us, well at least partly right. No you think we are khafirs and will burn in hell well we think that your thought process is acceptable but the bad part is you fucked with a crazy texan.

What would you pay for a safety pin

I cannot believe that they are charging $53 for a safety pin. I understand some people want to be prudes but there is a limit and the people buying this pin are plain out nuts. That is what I spent per week on food and I thought I was wasteful.
