Finally I have found time to enroll for Public Relations Consultantcourse .......A dedicated time off about 6-8hrs per week from my exciting humdrum work at AT&T Mobility.......
Having completed 2 modules of 8 listed along with their course work , assignments & test..... I feel it’s an exciting time in public relations, as the landscape will surely be evolving and changing........ Its a window of writing to ones own world !!!
I am seeking to learn most appropriate media, writing good press release, techniques & building relations with newspapers, TV, radio.Seemingly everyone is blogging today ......... and you should too.
It’s a right start to be in this PR industry !!! Trust me ...... Its worth it ......
I always think should I celebrate according to IST or CST ??? Never mind ..... Its my b'day and I have all the time to create time ...... Ahem .... Ahem !!! Happy Birthday to me ........ Happy Birthday, have another beer ........ Happy Birthday to me .........
I love my family. I love my friends .I love my job. I love my life. And I love you all, even when you’re grumpy .............
Here’s what I want you to do for my birthday. Send someone an e-mail and tell them how much you appreciate them, or love them .......... That’s what I want as a b'day gift .......... That would mean a lot to me ...........
Do you control your passwords or do your passwords control you .... ? That's a tricky one ......
I just had a strange feeling about this at work today ...... Nope ! I was not trying to beat those Monday Blues ........I think these passwords are like toothbrush ....... Never to be used by someone else than you ..... I am sure they need to be changed once every 6 months .........
But I am sure there are many of us who are paranoid of passwords ...... Especially guys trying to hide stuff from the opposite sex ...... Hmmmmm maybe even vice versa ...... What say people ?? .............
When somebody is doing a film on a slum boy, it is bound to show the hard reality in slum areas ........That does not mean that India has been projected in the wrong way ..........
If you get to watch ‘City of God’ which shows the bad side of Brazil , one expects it to be a poor country with little scope for improvement .......... But actually Brazil is one of the fastest growing economies in the world along with Mexico, India and China .........So lets not waste time in cribbing on petty things or try to join those hypocrites ..........
I would rather celebrate for all the good reasons & emotions ........AR Rahman has equalled the academy record for highest nominations the same year for music..........Its time to hail Rahman. Stay Blessed AR ............. Jai Hoooooo !!!
Hate it or love it, the underdog is on top......... I think SDM will win 7/10 nominated categories !!!

*** Do not miss it to watch on Feb 22nd ......... Adiós.........
We are about to witness a painful summer for Wall Street, nothing different from previous summers ........
Leveraged buyouts are responsible for this current scenario.....It is a very dangerous trend that has played its part in causing increasing defaults of companies and non-performing assets of banks going up..............
What will happen in the next six months is not known. Having read of recession & depression in the books....... Now I feel we are living in actual history..........
Nevertheless, we cannot lose hope as I am sure we are not at the end of a tunnel yet........ or is Mayan doomsday prophecy on its way ??
Mutalik follows Indian Culture. He does not wear Chaddi which campaigners are sending him...... Lol .... Jokes apart........
Pink Chaddi is western in design and culture.What is the use of sending this ? You think he will get the right message ? Come on ...... Wake up !! Get some better ideas ....... Now do not tell me we need bailout plans for Ideas ......... I am sure we have many in store....
By the way who is this Mutalik, what is his background, qualification, experience and family background.........Does he have children? If yes I feel pity for them to have such a narrow minded, hypocrite father. Cut the crap ...... Enjoy Feb 14th ' 09 ........
Happy Valentines Day !!! Have a great weekend .......... Ciao :)
Good Morning My Dear Valentine ....... What makes you think I am the one ? As you know the "World" to me has be nothing more than fun ...........
To make it simple America is calling Iraq its valentine for all the good reasons....... I am still not sure how many of you got it ?? ....... Hmmmmmm ............
Indian films are growing up both in terms of story telling and also its music............Delhi - 6 is a complete album..... No two minds on that !!!
You start loving the real music only when you move away from the cacophonic sounds...........There are multiple genres of music in it. There is a Qawwali, Hip-Hop, Fast Rap, Sufi music, Indian Classical etc.............
So I felt apart from just admiring his talent I think we need to learn more from AR .......His humility and simplicity for sure is one of the traits I would like to import.........
If in the after life there is not music, we will have to import it ...... Jai Ho AR !!!
This morning I was listening to this song by a Scottish band Travis .........."Why does it always rain on me?" . Then had few quick curious questions in my mind as to .............
Why was I born on Feb 28th ? Even though it was leap year,why not Feb 29th ?
Why did I never have siblings ?
Why did I get into engineering even though I wanted to be a journalist ?
Why did I not take up dance or theatre serious even though I won many accolades ?
Why did I move away from Bangalore - London - Chicago ?
I am sure we all have questions which are all left unanswered ? Then I felt the song lyrics should have been more like ....... "It does rain on everyone not only Me......"
It is true that most IT bosses are into corrupt practices.....
KrishGopalakrishnan of Infosys was once caught while selling his stocks. That was a criminal act and yet nothing happened?? NRM and Infosys have always maintained their share prices by manipulation of their revenues and guidance !!!
But how can the Ambanis be spared ?? ..... from Dhirubhai then his sons get away with far worse .......... there are other big n small time players .............
If all these guys can get away and even be glorified, then why not Raju ? Like my Infy friend (Sorry can't take his name ) rightly mentioned in this Economy-Driven world...... All are "Opportunists"............ Business is what matters at the end of the day.... Hmmmmm ......... Maybe !
Is it their bread n costly butter which makes them do this ?? ....... Expected !!!
I have friends with blogs specifically dedicated to technology, politics, music, photography and public relations, and yet I am not so focused, probably because I’m passionate about too many things in Life............
Perhaps the question should be, why did I even start? Ever since I have got started, I am hooked ........ To be honest, I write for my friends n family. I try to provide them a quality publication because I respect them, and in turn I hope to earn their respect !!
I'm far too egotistical and obsessed with the idea that my life is a movie starring myself called ......... "Its not the World , Its Me" ........
The worst slump of the modern era has entered a New Year in the hope that the incoming president Barack Obama will do wonders.
Kennedy once said "Ask not what your country can do for you..." Change ??If you want to make enemies, try to change something.... Everyone has been naming him The Messiah.... The Magician.... Authentic Jesus.... The Saviour !!But for me he is just "Barack Hussein Obama " ..............
Mr. President Elect good luck at your office......... Jan 20th is not too far to be changed !
Many of my pals are making some New Year's resolutions, who made big resolutions last year had trouble keeping them.Lose weight .... Gain weight .... Quit Smoking....... Quit Drinking ..... What not ???
It wouldn't be New Year's if I didn't have regrets ..... So Chillax and make Bonhomie official now ! See you all here next year ........... Peace !
Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again during this time.
We should be like wet cement , trying to make an impression every year which passes by .
The year 2008 truly belongs to 2 Malayali girls Parvathy Omanakuttan (1st Runner up MW 2008) & Asin Thottumkal (Bollywood Debutant of Ghajini a remake of Tamil movie ) ..........
Gods own country has set its own standard & its modesty has increased with these beauties.
A woman of substance is like a melody which haunts you day n night !
The above count is my stay away from Bangalore , having stayed 2yrs in London and 3yrs in Chicago.
Life away from home has become a foreign language and most of the time I have mispronounced it. I recollect a spat with my dad during my college days having challenged " I shall prove you that I can stay away from home for 5 good yrs ". (Being the only natty child to my folkz ......................)
I have no regrets as I believe that everything happens for a reason be it good or bad and this journey since 2004 has been rewarding in moulding a character tagged "RAHUL".
You hate it or love it , I am sure most of us do watch this talent hunt . I have been following all the seasons till date and to my surprise this II4 is a bit different from the rest due to "Girl Power" been raised quite often by the judges.
Lay back and watch to see if its going to be a Boy or a Girl this season . I think the people of India would choose a better singer irrespective of gender .
Having said that we should be our own judge as we cannot put a "stop payment" on reality check of these shows !
Finally I have found time to enroll for Public Relations Consultant course ....... A dedicated time off about 6-8hrs per week from my exciting humdrum work at AT&T Mobility.......
