Every morning, I usually have a coffee at work. It is near this window overlooking the parking lot. I am usually early, a lot of people come in after i do. I notice quite a few people come into work.

The women usually dont comb their hair looking into their bike's mirror. The men with some hair comb their hair, adjust its position looking into the mirror on their bike. This does not take them too much time.

Its the bald or balding men who take the most time adjusting their looks using their bikes mirror. I wonder why they do so. Their poor hair could not stand their torture and obsession with their hair and has given up, despite this these men torture their hair. I pity their hair. I wonder what is the point of bald or balding men combing their hair.

Ah someone once said there are two types of men, the bald and the balding men. Well then men should not simply bother combing their hair.

Dude 1: Smoking Kretek cigarettes is supposed to cure asthma and respiratory problems.

Dude 2: Thats bullshit, its like saying "having sex to attain virginity"

:-O :-O

PS: Kretek Cigarettes apperantely are supposed to cure asthma. I quote from Wikipedia "The creator of kretek was one Haji Jamahri, a native of the town of Kudus in Indonesia’s Central Java. Suffering from chest pains, Haji Jamahri attempted to reduce the pain by rubbing clove oil on his chest. Jamahri sought a means of achieving a deeper relief and smoked his hand-rolled cigarettes after adding dried clove buds. According to the story, his asthma and chest pains vanished immediately."

:-O :-O

......if news papers now consistently choose columnists because they are dumber than the average reader. Then the reader would massage his/her ego reading the columnist, and also can have a good laugh at the columnist. Classic example would be the Business Standards weekly technology column

There was a time when reading the Hindu editorial was educational, it was before N Ram decided to turn it into the "People's Daily of Chennai". Indian Express and Hindu writers were more intelligent than the average reader. The news papers actually strive to publish intelligent writers who made sense.

PS: Maybe I was younger then and dumber, therefore found the Hindu and Indian Express writers as intelligent.

Irrational exuberance never lasts. Plain and simple.

Sensex at 13000, Nifty at 3600. Japan 1990?

Recession? Depression? Housing bubbles always precede them.

Another Great depression, nah too far fetched.

Interesting time to live through I suppose.

..........is now screwed from both ends.

1) At one end inflation leads to increasing prices in the market. This is largely fueled by global developments.

2) And at the other end, employers do not dole out as high pay hikes because they can feel the pinch of rising commodity prices leading to lower margins. They cut expenses to remain afloat, viz pay hikes, while at the same time increasing prices. Repeat impact 1.

This is the worst time to be a salaried employee. Entrepreneurship is the way ahead, its a one side whammy, and the salaried class can always be screwed to avoid a double whammy ;)
