Self-styled godwoman Radhee maa

Every time I listen to the various stories of all these self styled godman/woman, I really get pissed off. I see there followers coming from the educated background, and it really surprise me that how can educated people fall and start following these people blindly. Time and time again its been proved that many of those have been found guilty in various crimes like rapes, murders, drugs supply, prostitution, black magic, etc,

Many of these self styled godman are behind the bars and we still keep following them. I come from a religious family background but that doesn't mean I going to follow any such people blindly who are just after money.

This is high time we act on it. No saints travel in luxrious cars, stay and 5 star hotels, have round a clock security and fly by business class.

Its as simple as that, there are just doing business and making millions out of it.  

Bajrangi Bhaijaan

The only RSS person I didn't hate was a fictional one: Bajrangi Bhaijaan.

Watch it for a superb performance as usual by Nawazuddin Siddiqui and an angelic treat for the eyes by little Harshaali Malhotra who carries herself brilliantly without uttering a word but says everything with just her expressions. Salman Khan was surprisingly good as a simple Hanuman devotee and Kareena Kapoor is effortless in her role.

Parts of the movie will remind you of PK, where the ills of the world are resolved with honesty rather than shirts ripping of their own accord.

Rules with no justification and lots of inbalance

Trying forcibly to kiss a woman on the road, against her will is not molestation, according to Delhi police. But a couple having consensual sex in the privacy of a room, is indecent and immoral according to Mumbai police. I don't know what is worse. The fact that we Indians are insane. Or the fact that we don't even know we are insane.

"Mumbai Police Arrested 40 Couples From Hotel Rooms For Public Indecency. "
Why? Where was the crime here? The couples were:
1. Paying customers of said hotels
2. Consensual adults
3. Living in a democratic country
4. Following the Kamasutra culture
What does this show about our situation? It shows that:
1. You can't kiss in public. You can't kiss in private
2. Consensual sex is a crime unless you get the blessings of the moral police
3. The word democracy is only used to make a boast about living in the world's largest democracy. In reality, we are the world's largest two faced dictatorship
4. Kamasutra is a product that is "make in india" and exported to the west. Not for local consumers. Except if you belong to the gallery of "saints" like Radhe ma, Gajendra Chauhan, Asaram Bapu, etc

Time to stop being racist

It really hurts when people say things like "these muslims" or "these bengalis" in a derogatory manner.

Sometimes I wonder why such people don't have at least a bit of commonsense in understanding that they could have been born into the very groups they revile. Would they have liked it if someone talked to them in that manner?

Where is that minimum amount of empathy and decency that we should have as human beings? There is no pride that the insulted Muslims are Indians either. Or that many of them abhor the same things we abhor. That they want to live in peace too.

Stop and think before you damn the whole lot just because a few assholes have come your way. If that doesn't help, think about the idiots in your own group and try cursing your tribe. That at least is fair.

That at least, won't be racist.

Porn ban in India

Porn should be a self disciplinary ban and not the responsibility of a government to moral police its citizens their right to view content of their choosing.

This banning and censorship is getting ridiculous and only paves the way for the downfall of a regime that is increasingly turning out to treat the people they are supposed to be serving, as children and not as adults who are sexual beings.

The ironies of choosing virtually a director of porn for the FTII and teaching that a rape accused is a saint in a saffronised school text book, is lost on the BJP just like ironies usually are.

The end result of all this is the ban which will end all bans: a ban on BJP itself.

Reply from Top CEO to a pretty girl seeking a rich husband

A good Share... A interesting read

A young and pretty lady posted this on a popular forum:

Title: What should I do to marry a rich guy?
I’m going to be honest of what I’m going to say here. I’m 25 this year. I’m very pretty, have style and good taste. I wish to marry a guy with 100 crore annual salary or above. You might say that I’m greedy, but an annual salary 2 crore is considered only as middle class now days..

My requirement is not high. Is there anyone in this forum who has an income of 100 crore annual salary? Are you all married?

I wanted to ask: what should I do to marry rich persons like you? Among those I’ve dated, the richest is 50 crore annual income, and it seems that this is my upper limit.

If someone is going to move into high cost residential area on the west of New York City Garden(?), 50 crore annual income is not enough.
I’m here humbly to ask a few questions:

1) Where do most rich bachelors hang out? (Please list down the names and addresses of bars, restaurant, gym)
2) Which age group should I target?
3) Why most wives of the riches are only average-looking? I’ve met a few girls who don’t have looks and are not interesting, but they are able to marry rich guys.
4) How do you decide who can be your wife, and who can only be your girlfriend? (my target now is to get married)

Ms. Pooja I Chohan.

A Reply from Top CEO to a pretty girl seeking a rich husband

A logical yet heartwarming reply from the CEO 

Dear Ms. Pooja,
I have read your post with great interest. Guess there are lots of girls out there who have similar questions like yours. Please allow me to analyse your situation as a professional investor.
My annual income is more than 100 crore, which meets your requirement, so I hope everyone believes that I’m not wasting time here.
From the standpoint of a business person, it is a bad decision to marry you. The answer is very simple, so let me explain.

Put the details aside, what you’re trying to do is an exchange of “beauty” and “money” : Person A provides beauty, and Person B pays for it, fair and square. However, there’s a deadly problem here, your beauty will fade, but my money will not be gone without any good reason. The fact is, my income might increase from year to year, but you can’t be prettier year after year.
Hence from the viewpoint of economics, I am an appreciation asset, and you are a depreciation asset.

It’s not just normal depreciation, but exponential depreciation. If that is your only asset, your value will be much worse 10 years later. By the terms we use in Wall Street, every trading has a position, dating with you is also a “trading position”. If the trade value dropped we will sell it and it is not a good idea to keep it for long term – same goes with the marriage that you wanted. It might be cruel to say this, but in order to make a wiser decision any assets with great depreciation value will be sold or “leased”.

Anyone with over 100 crore annual income is not a fool; we would only date you, but will not marry you. I would advice that you forget looking for any clues to marry a rich guy. And by the way, you could make yourself to become a rich person with 100 crore annual income.This has better chance than finding a rich fool.

Hope this reply helps.

950 million Android phones can be hijacked by malicious text messages

A security research company has found what it's calling "the mother of all Android Vulnerabilities- a flaw in the popular mobile operating system that could give hackers access to millions of users' personal data

In a blog post on its website, Zimperium said 95 percent of Android devices worldwide are vulnerable. "The targets for this kind of attack can be anyone from Prime ministers, govt. officials, company executives, security officers to IT managers," it warned.
But the company told National Public Radio that so far, the flaw has not been exploited by hackers. "That's the good news,"

Attackers only need your mobile number, using which they can remotely execute code via a specially crafted media file delivered via MMS. A fully weaponized successful attack could even delete the message before you see it. You will only see the notification. These vulnerabilities are extremely dangerous because they do not require that the victim take any action to be exploited. Unlike spear-phishing, where the victim needs to open a PDF file or a link sent by the attacker, this vulnerability can be triggered while you sleep. Before you wake up, the attacker will remove any signs of the device being compromised and you will continue your day as usual – with a trojaned phone.

Share from Srijan Pal Singh who was with Kalam Saab during his last day

Srijan Pal Singh who was with Kalam Saab during his last day, writes a heartfelt eulogy which I thought was worth sharing heart emoticon

What I will be remembered for.. my memory of the last day with the great Kalam sir...

It has been eight hours since we last talked – sleep eludes me and memories keep flushing down, sometimes as tears. Our day, 27th July, began at 12 noon, when we took our seats in the flight to Guhawati. Dr. Kalam was 1A and I was IC. He was wearing a dark colored “Kalam suit”, and I started off complimenting, “Nice color!” Little did I know this was going to be the last color I will see on him.

Long, 2.5 hours of flying in the monsoon weather. I hate turbulence, and he had mastered over them. Whenever he would see me go cold in shaking plane, he would just pull down the window pane and saw, “Now you don’t see any fear!”.

That was followed by another 2.5 hours of car drive to IIM Shillong. For these two legged trip of five hours we talked, discussed and debated. These were amongst hundreds of the long flights and longer drives we have been together over the last six years. 

As each of them, this was as special too. Three incidents/discussions in particular will be “lasting memories of our last trip”. 

First, Dr. Kalam was absolutely worried about the attacks in Punjab. The loss of innocent lives left him filled with sorrow. The topic of lecture at IIM Shillong was Creating a Livable Planet Earth. He related the incident to the topic and said, “it seems the man made forces are as big a threat to the livability of earth as pollution”. We discussed how, if this trend of violence, pollution and reckless human action continues we will forced to leave earth. “Thirty years, at this rate, maybe”, he said. “You guys must do something about it… it is going to be your future world”. Our second discussion was more national. For the past two days, Dr. Kalam was worried that time and again Parliament, the supreme institution of democracy, was dysfunctional. He said, “I have seen two different governments in my tenure. I have seen more after that. This disruption just keeps happening. It is not right. I really need to find out a way to ensure that the parliament works on developmental politics.” He then asked me to prepare a surprise assignment question for the students at IIM Shillong, which he would give them only at the end of the lecture. He wanted to them to suggest three innovative ways to make the Parliament more productive and vibrant. Then, after a while he returned on it. “But how can one ask them to give solutions if I don’t have any myself”. For the next one hour, we thwarted options after options, who come up with his recommendation over the issue. We wanted to include this discussion in our upcoming book, Advantage India. 

Third, was an experience from the beauty of his humility. We were in a convoy of 6-7 cars. Dr. Kalam and I were in the second car. Ahead us was an open Gypsy with three soldiers in it. Two of them were sitting on either side and one lean guy was standing atop, holding his gun. One hour into the road journey, Dr. Kalam said, “Why is he standing? He will get tired. This is like punishment. Can you send a wireless message that he may sit?” I had to convince him, he has been probably instructed to keep standing for better security. He did not relent. We tried radio messaging, that did not work. For the next 1.5 hours of the journey, he reminded me thrice to see if I can hand signal him to sit down. Finally, realizing there is little we can do – he told me, “I want to meet him and thank him”. Later, when we landed in IIM Shillong, I went inquiring through security people and got hold of the standing guy. I took him inside and Dr. Kalam greeted him. He shook his hand, said thank you buddy. “Are you tired? Would you like something to eat? I am sorry you had to stand so long because of me”. The young lean guard, draped in black cloth, was surprised at the treatment. He was lost words, just said, “Sir, aapkeliye to 6 ghantebhikhaderahenge”. 

After this, we went to the lecture hall. He did not want to be late for the lecture. “Students should never be made to wait”, he always said. I quickly set up his mike, briefed on final lecture and took position on the computers. As I pinned his mike, he smiled and said, “Funny guy! Are you doing well?” ‘Funny guy’, when said by Kalam could mean a variety of things, depending on the tone and your own assessment. It could mean, you have done well, you have messed up something, you should listen to him or just that you have been plain naïve or he was just being jovial. Over six years, I had learnt to interpret Funny Guy like the back of my palm. This time it was the last case. 

“Funny guy! Are you doing well?” he said. I smiled back, “Yes”. Those were the last words he said. Two minutes into the speech, sitting behind him, I heard a long pause after completing one sentence. I looked at him, as he fell down. 

> We picked him up. As the doctor rushed, we tried whatever we could. I will never forget the look in his three-quarter closed eyes and I held his head with one hand and tried reviving him with whatever I could. His hands clenched, curled onto my finger. There was a stillness on his face and those wise eyes were motionlessly radiating wisdom. He never said a word. He did not show pain, only purpose was visible. 

> In five minutes we were in the nearest hospital. In another few minutes the Doctors indicated the missile man had flown away, forever. I touched his feet, one last time. Adieu old friend! Grand mentor! See you in my thoughts and meet in the next birth. 

As I turned back, a closet of thoughts opened. 

Often he would ask me, “You are young, decide what would you like to be remembered for?” I kept thinking of new impressive answers, till one day I gave up and resorted to tit-for-tat. I asked him back, “First you tell me, what will you like to be remembered for? President, Scientist, Writer, Missile man, India 2020, Target 3 billion…. What?” I thought I had made the question easier by giving options, but he sprang on me a surprise. “Teacher”, he said. 

Then something he said two weeks back when we were discussing about his missile time friends. He said, “Children need to take care of their parents. It is sad that sometimes this is not happening”. He paused and said, “Two things. Elders must also do. Never leave wealth at your deathbed – that leaves a fighting family. Second, one is blessed if one can die working, standing tall without any long drawn ailing. Goodbyes should be short, really short”. 

Today, I look back – he took the final journey teaching, what he always wanted to be remembered doing. And, till his final moment he was standing, working and lecturing. He left us, as a great teacher, standing tall. He leaves the world with nothing accumulated in his account but loads of wishes and love of people. He was successful, even in his end. 

Will miss all the lunches and dinners we had together, will miss all the times you surprised me with your humility and startled me with your curiosity. Will miss the lessons of life you taught in action and words, will miss our struggles to race to make into flights, our trips, our long debates. You gave me dreams, you showed me dreams need to be impossible, for anything else is a compromise to my own ability. The man is gone, the mission lives on. Long live Kalam.

Your indebted student,

Srijan Pal Singh.

A.P.J Abdul Kalam RIP

APJ Abdul Kalam gave us a glimpse of the fun, the easiness, the sheer coolness of having a President who is not a politician.

A missile man passed away

A teacher passed away

A motivator passed away

A dreamer passed away

A gentleman passed away and 

An Indian passed away 

"You have to dream before your dreams can come true."

The Ignition which he saw in all of us is less bright today, it has to be !! As the flame lost its brightest brain..

As the nation stands to lose Honorable Bharat Ratna Mr. APJ Abdul Kalam , our former President, who apart from giving us all an idol to look upto, achieved all this for all of us :

1981 Padma Bhushan

1990 Padma Vibhushan

1997 Bharat Ratna

1998 Veer Savarkar Award

2000 Ramanujan Award

Indian successful web entrepreneurs

This decade has been boom to the Indian web entrepreneurs. Small ideas have got converted into big ventures.. million dollar companies and left behind is lots inspiration to this young generation.

Ideas, hard work and innovation can take you to any extend.

Here is the list of few success web entrepreneurs stories.

Flipkart  

In just seven years of starting from scratch, Sachin Bansal and Binny Bansal, co-founders of India’s e-commerce posterboy Flipkart, have outgrown the financial success of several iconic Indian businessmen.

It didn’t take decades for the duo, who are unrelated to each other, to cross a combined net worth of $1 billion, like it had for technology stalwarts like N R Narayana Murthy and Nandan Nilekani, both of Infosys.  

At the time of raising $1-billion last year, the Bansals’ combined stake of around 15 per cent in Flipkart was valued at Rs 6,000 crore (Rs 60 billion).

Murthy, along with his family, had a net worth of around Rs 8,500 crore (Rs 85 billion) at the time, while Nilekani and his family’s worth stood at around Rs 6,500 crore (Rs 65 billion).  

The story of how the two men started with just two laptops and grew to its current size is inspirational.

They were not only able to ride India’s robust consumption story, but also earned the investors’ willingness to place their bets on their company. In 2014, this resulted in Flipkart raising close to $2 billion.

Zomato  

They didn’t choose the route of big fund-raising like their Indian peers in the consumer Internet space, but Deepinder Goyal and Pankaj Chaddah are clearly focused on establishing their seven-year-old company, Zomato, as a global leader in the online restaurant search business.

Currently valued at around $700 million, experts estimate that Zomato is all set to enter the billion-dollar club in 2015, setting the stage for the founding duo’s combined net worth to touch a billion dollars over the next few years.  

The two former Bain & Co executives have taken the Gurgaon-headquartered Zomato, which began in Goyal’s bedroom, to its current status through global acquisitions, buying out companies in the US, Turkey, Italy, New Zealand, Poland, Slovakia and Czech Republic.  

In six funding rounds, Zomato has raised $113.8 million from three investors, most of it coming from online classifieds and e-commerce company Info Edge, with venture capital funds Sequoia Capital and Vy Capital participating in later rounds.  

Ola

If sources are to be believed, the valuation of mobile app-based taxi aggregator Ola (formerly OlaCabs) doubled in the first six months of 2014.

That would put the Bengaluru-headquartered company, started by Indian Institute of Technology-Bombay alumni Bhavish Aggarwal and Ankit Bhati, among the fastest growing technology startups in the country.  

While Aggarwal and Bhati have kept a low profile, their venture was in the limelight when it entered the $1-billion valuation club late in 2014, just three years after its inception.

In addition, Ola attracted funding of $210 million from Japan’s richest man, Masayoshi Son, the chairman of telecom and media group SoftBank Corp. Ola has so far raised $276.8 million from nine investors.  

Aggarwal and Bhati, both in their late-20s, have not only created landmarks in terms of valuation, but also set records in terms of growing their business: Ola entered nine new cities in a span of 45 days between October and November last year.

The company now has a presence in over 67 cities, and has an ambitious plan to expand to 100 cities by the end of 2015.

Aggarwal’s dedication towards his idea reflects in the fact that along with his wife, he has pledged never to buy a personal vehicle and always use Ola for transportation.

Besides, they are already known for their philanthrophy.

In 2014, Aggarwal accepted the “ice-bucket challenge” from Vikas Malpani, co-founder of Commonfloor, and Kunal Bahl of Snapdeal, and donated an undisclosed amount to the Akshaya Patra Foundation, which provides mid-day meals to 1.4 million children every day.

InMobi 

On February 11, InMobi announced that it had become the first mobile advertising company to reach over one billion unique mobile devices.

“To put that in perspective, it is as big as India’s population,” said an excited company spokesperson.

“Or for that matter, remember Facebook has over a billion mobile users on its network.” Working in the enterprise segment, which attracts far lesser attention than consumer Internet companies, the four founders of InMobi — Naveen Tewari (see left), Mohit Saxena, Abhay Singhal, and Amit Gupta — have slowly but steadily built a business that is today a big competitor for Google.  

Often referred to as “the next Infosys”, InMobi was founded in 2007 by the four Indian Institute of Technology alumni.

It is among the top three mobile advertising firms globally and has business across nearly 200 countries, with revenue estimated at $200 million for 2013.

According to sources, InMobi clocked revenue growth of over 40 per cent over the last six months and is currently valued between $2.5 billion and $3.0 billion.

While there is no clarity on the stakes held by the founding quartet, an industry insider says, “SoftBank owns one-third of In-Mobi, but the founders also have a substantial share.”

TaxiforSure

Business: Aggregates car rentals and taxis

Radhakrishna and Raghunandan G, both IIM-Ahmedabad graduates, launched Taxiforsure in 2011 as an online platform through which consumers can rent taxis. The company has partnered with around 25 cab operators in Bangalore and around 15 in Delhi, including branded operators like Mega Cabs and Cell Cabs. 

The company, which claims to have reached operational profitability in Bangalore, has also done its own branding on about 550 cabs that are operated by small local operators. The past couple of years has seen the launch of a number of online and mobile based taxi booking services.

The two cofounders expect their company to earn revenue of Rs 100 crore by fiscal 2015. 

RedBus

Phanindra Sama was 25 when he founded the pioneering venture together with his BITS Pilani batchmates Charan Padmaraju and Sudhakar Pasupunuri. In June 2013, they sold redBus to the Ibibo Group for an estimated Rs 600-700 crore, the biggest overseas strategic acquisition of an Indian internet asset.

RedBus now sells over a million tickets a month, and the gross value of transactions on the site last year was about Rs 600 crore, up from Rs 350 crore the year before.

Given the operators' wariness to computerize, redBus initially worked on the basis of seat quotas from operators, and returning unsold seats within a defined time before the departure of the bus. Three and a half years later, they introduced a bus ticketing software for the operators that could link to the redBus portal. To their utter surprise, it was a phenomenal success!

Snapdeal

At 25, Wharton graduate Kunal Bahl quit his cushy Microsoft job based in Seattle and even convinced his IIT Delhi alumni Rohit Bansal to take a leap of faith in 2007. 

Bahl originally launched Snapdeal.com as a daily online deals site and was often touted as India's answer to Groupon. The model has, however, changed and is today one of India's largest online marketplace. 

The company boasts of 20 million members, 500+ product categories and 20000+ sellers. It is backed by leading global investors such as eBay Inc, Intel Capital, Bessemer Venture Partners, Nexus Venture Partners and IndoUS Venture Partners.

No buyers, number of unsold houses piles up in all the cities

There seems to be somewhat a bad face for real estate industry. Most of the flats across the country are seen unsold. Investors are staying away as this could be the correction face.

Flats in remote areas are the most unsold one's, followed by the luxurious flats. Interest rates are not the best in the market which are holding the buyers.

Builders are coming up with lots of discounts and offers across the country to overcome this face. Due to this slow demand inventory cost's are getting higher and lots of delayed is been seen in getting the possession's of the flats.

But still no major correction is been seen in most part of the country.

There still lots of confusion with the customers, if its time to buy or to wait for the correction. A small correction could surely be seen in coming days considering the present trend.

Is it time to buy gold

Thinking of buying gold as it hits 5 years low. ahh most of the market annalists thinks its time to wait and watch as gold may see more bottom and chances are very less for gold to recover soon. Most of the investors  are staying away from the gold and going for equity market.

Still lots of people are seen in the gold shops in most of the cities in India. As for most of them gold has reached the buying temptation zone. There is no doubt that gold will remain gold and won't turn in to copper or silver. The inquires amongst the consumers are increasing, specially womens. As we are nearing to the festive and weeding season ahead.

But still most of the market annalist are believe to wait and watch due to international market uncertainty.
