Kannada Barutha?? (ಕನ್ನದ ಬರುಥ) ಮತ್ತೆ ಎನ್ನ್ರೀ ದಾಡಿ ಕನ್ನಡದಲಿ ಮತದೊಕೀ ?

2009-07-15T16:53:00.003+05:30

Aaaah! I am most of you in Bangalore would have heard this, but what is "kannada barutha?" here it goes. Bangalore the IT capital of India , the silicon city and now a Metro city opened its gates to almost all kinds of people. Very evidently the recent poll census proved that there are only 47% of original inhabitants in Bangalore/bengaluru. The life style of the city has seen a gradual change with Pizza Corners replacing MTR's, classy eat out's replacing "Vidyarthi Bhavans" and flashy pub's replacing all our "Mahalakshmi wine shops".

"Change is inevitable" from the days of BEML, HAL and BHEL to INFOSYS, WIPRO; Bangalore has a new look now on the world map. Gone are the days where a typical Sunday for any bangalorean was a nice romantic walk on the pavements of "LALBAGH...", "rave idli and coffee.." at the nearest yet old looking MTR and a wonderful Annavra film either at Santosh or central 'talkies'. Today's Bangalore is deluged in traffic, stress and pressure, Saturday nights without beer is desolate and a Sunday without a visit to either a nearest spa or health clinic is schlocky!!

The gandhibazar's are now AC cooled super markets, majestic is now replaced by ultra modern and diversified Brigade road, sri cauvery coffee joint is now Coffee days.. and "Bhagyalakshmi coffee adda.. is now barista. With globalisation and more retail market the city will definitely see more forceful changes.

Have all these changed our language? Kannada the local language of Bangalore is supposed to be one of the most meaningful language, it also

has an unique script as compared to its other counterparts; but how many percentage of people really use Kannada in Bangalore now? The figures are staggering, only 37% of people speak kannada in the state's capital, for rest it is only "Kannada barutha?"

Any normal guy starts with this sentence "Kannada barutha?" while talking to other person, people confirm before they speak the language. You want to ask an address in Bangalore? Or reply to a question then English is the most preferred language other than Hindi.. It's a famous fact that two kannidagas in an IT company always talk in a neutral language!! even the vendors and shop keepers are channeled with this new wave, the moment when you step in any shop in Bangalore , you are always asked "Kannada barutha?" or the entire conversation takes place in non kannada languages. People have lost the confidence of speaking in the local language and more over speaking Kannada on the streets of "M.G road "or "kormangala" is substandard.

Shopping malls in the city have been completely banned from using Kannada, not a forced one but definitely an adapted one. One has to confirm that the other person knows the language before he starts using any language. "ondu glass beer" is a insult when it comes to any decorous pub in Bangalore . "Swalpa menu card kodthira..??" has been replaced by "Can I have the menu card please...?"

Just to hit some facts, marathi is still the largest and common speaking language in mumbai even though mumbai has the highest no of inhabitants. Telugu is a practised ritual in yet another IT HUB Hyderabad. When it comes to tamil nadu, beware you can be alive either if you are a fan of rajnikanth or you know tamil.. Malyalam runs in the blood of every mallu be it Kuwait , dubai or any hospital; but when it comes to kannada it is always "kannada barutha?" and next is "namaskara."

I am neither a Kannada activist nor do I run any Kannada supporting organization, I am just a plebeian who just love the language.

Globalisation is the trend and modernisation is the mantra but at the cost of the language? Sounds no logic.. Is speaking kannada down market? The answer has to be found within oneself. Next time when you hear "kannada barutha?" you just remember that "kannada runs in your blood.."

Instead of forwarding other unwanted mails, forward this to your friends. Make everybody aware.

Got a forwarded mail, felt interesting...

2009-07-13T13:48:00.002+05:30

I still remember the days i used to spend in one my uncles (Dr GM Kudari, He is a well known cardiologist in Mysore) place one of the best time i had, I had no other work there other then watching TV, cooking and reading newspapers i enjoyed all the tree.

My uncle used to read many newspapers one in which he used spend lot of time is "The Economic Times" I used to wonder why he would read so much in that paper where there is no good photos and news, cos my favorite section in news paper is "Bangalore Times" (An additional attach comes with "Times of India") cos i love to read and see bollywood news

This was the short story back in 1994 - 1996 (times of my 12th standard)

Recently, there is so much of talks about recession, economy slow down, US markets, BSE Sensex (Down to 8+ thousands), NSE, GDP Etc. Etc

Talks like, Sensex is going down and down day by day and it might reach as below 6k, GDP is raising all time high, people of lost crores of rupees in stock market, and more importantly one of my friend lost a nominal big amount in share trading - these multiple hits of those news created some sort of curiosity to know about whats these all about.

I think this is the transformation stage where I myself created so much curious to know about it more and more.

I quickly got one trading account from Karvy (www.karvyonline.com)

Well, It does helps in many ways, keep track of economy not only India but also US, cos whenever there is drop in US Market next day you see the same down trend in India Stock market.

Anyways Now i am newbie in this field and so excited to learn and know and ultimately make money out of it..

My logic is quite simple, if you open and FD (Fixed Deposit) Account max you might get 10% for 365 days, in the worst case i would be expecting to make 10% of invested money in 1 year.

To be honest i strongly anticipate you will definitely can make your money group much more in the shorter period, keep in mind you should have patience and place your money smartly.

As I said above heir no harm for 10% of your invested money for sure if you invest for long term.

Invest Carefully, Start with Less do not hurry, take decision wisely.

Do not dream for big, Go Steady..

Happy Trading..

Cheers and keep rocking and keep making money its all Business EOD

Six Ways to Thwart a Backstabber at Work

Today’s team-oriented work environments encourage employees to be open, work collaboratively and share ideas and insights. But while these conditions can be positive for productivity, they can also make you vulnerable to the office backstabber. You know, that devious co-worker who acts all friendly and supportive to gain information – even your trust – then jabs a knife between your shoulder blades when you're not looking.

Marcy, a marketing manager at a Fortune 100 company, fell victim to a backstabber early in her career. Marcy routinely ate lunch with Michael, a co-worker, and the two used to bounce ideas off of one another. Then one day in a staff meeting, Marcy’s boss presented a concept for the new brand campaign that was identical to one Marcy had shared with Michael – and credited Michael with creating it!

After the meeting, Marcy went to her boss’ office to tell her the idea was actually hers. However, she left feeling as though her boss doubted her story and possibly even considered her petty for complaining.

Then there’s Jack, whose manager would praise him to his face, all the while telling his own boss that Jack was incompetent. His motive: to look like a hero for all he accomplished despite the “dead weight” employee he had inherited.

And let’s not forget Irene, whose boss used to support Irene’s ideas in private, but then rip them to shreds and slime all over Irene in public if something went wrong and the ideas didn't work out.

None of this surprises Dr. Gary Namie, author of "The Bully at Work: What You Can Do to Stop the Hurt and Reclaim Your Dignity on the Job." Namie says backstabbing generally stems from jealousy, ambition and/or greed and that it is especially prevalent in environments that combine scarce resources, weak people and little or no accountability.

Namie also points out that supervisors backstab even more frequently than colleagues: “They kiss up the ladder and attack down below.”

What can you do to avoid turning your back into a knife rack?

1. Think Before You Speak. Be careful not to say anything to anyone in the office that you wouldn't want repeated. Instead, find a mentor outside the company to reduce the likelihood that your secrets will be used against you.

2. Know How to Spot a Backstabber. Is there a mismatch between a colleague’s words and actions? Do you continue to “misread” a co-worker’s intentions? Does a colleague’s smile or praise seem false or a bit forced? Finally, does the individual have a history of backstabbing? People who have backstabbed before are likely to do so again, so learn from their past victims’ experience.

3. Ally Yourself With Others; Distance Yourself From the Backstabber. Stay as far away as you can from backstabbers while still maintaining your professionalism. But do form alliances with trustworthy colleagues for support, protection and to stay tuned into the grapevine.

4. Get Clarification. If the backstabber is your boss, Namie suggests you ask for and record in writing the specific procedures your boss wants you to follow, the result he or she is after and the performance standards by which you will be evaluated. Supervisors can get away with backstabbing when there is ambiguity. Clarity usually puts an end to the confusion – and the backstabbing.

5. Handle Confrontations Publicly. Namie advises politely calling the backstabber on his actions in public. For example: “Your being critical of this idea surprises me, as you gave me your full support and endorsed it when we met in my office last week.”

Namie says that backstabbers are obsessed with appearances and want to appear cool and collected. As long as you remain emotionally in control when you confront them in public, you will embarrass them enough that they will leave you alone.

6. Take the High Road. Don't get into a mudslinging match. It will only make you look worse. Acting with integrity and dignity usually pays off in the shortrun and always pays off in the longrun.

Come Home and Contribute to Earth - World Environment Day

Ask yourself what you have done for earth and whats your contribution. Day by Day Earth is getting more and more difficult to live and we are in the verge of spoiling it rather then saving it.

May organization and companies are contributing to create awareness and everyone of us should feel responsible to SAVE OUR MOTHER EARTH

SAVE MOTHER EARTH - SAVE ENERGY - MAKE THIS WORLD MORE GREEN TO LIVE.

The most visible sign of the environmental damage caused by humans, the melting of the ice on the oceans and on land is a local and global problem. Arctic ecosystems, whose best known species is the polar bear, are under threat. Native peoples, particularly the Inuits, also see their living conditions worsen as the ice melts. The ice is a witness to the Earth's climatic evolutions and its disappearance will have consequences far beyond the polar regions. As the ice-cap melts, sea-levels will rise drastically altering coastlines all round the world.

Main jahaan rahoon - Main kahin bhi hoon - Teri yaad saath hai

2009-01-21T14:58:00.001+05:30

main jahaan rahoon
main kahin bhi hoon
teri yaad saath hai

jaane kiski talaash unaki aankhon mein thi
aarajoo ke musaafir bhatkate rahein
jitane bhi woh chale
utane hi bichh gayein raah mein faasalein
kwaab manjil thi aur manjilein khwaab thi
raaston se nikalate rahein raaste
jaane kis waste aarjoo ke musaafir bhatkate rahein

main jahaan rahoon
main kahin bhi hoon
teri yaad saath hai
kisi se kahoon
ke nahi kahoon
yeh jo dil ki baat hai
kehne ko saath apane ek duniya chalti hai
per chhupke is dil mein tanhaayi palti hai
bas yaad saath hai
teri yaad saath hai - 3
main jahaan rahoon
main kahin bhi hoon
teri yaad saath hai

koyi puraani yaad mera rasta roke mujhse kehti hai
itani jalati dhoop mein yuun kab tak ghumoge
aayo, chalke bitein dino ki chhanv mein baithe
us lamhein ki baat karein
jisme koyi phool khila tha
us lamhein ki baat karein ke
jisme kisi aawaaz ki chaandi khanak uthi thi
us lamhein ki baat karein ke
jisme kisi nazaron ke moti barse the
koyi puraani yaad mera rasta roke mujhse kehti hai
itani jalati dhoop mein yuun kab tak ghumoge

kahin to dil mein yaadon ki
ek suli gad jaati hai
kahin har ek tasveer bhahut hi dhondhali pad jaati hai
koi nayi duniya ke naye rango mein khush rehta hai
koi sab kuch paake bhi yeh mann hi mann kehta hai
kehne ko saath apane ek duniya chalti hai
per chhupke is dil mein tanhaayi palti hai
bas yaad saath hai
teri yaad saath hai - 3

sach toh yeh hai kasoor apana hain
chaand ko chuune ki tamanna ki
aasamaan ko jamin par maanga
phool chaaha ki paththaron pe khilein
kaanton mein ki talaash khoshboo ki
aarjoo ki ke aag thandak de
barf mein dhundate rahein garmi
khwaab jo dekha chaaha sach ho jaaye
isaki humko saja toh milani hi thi
sach toh yeh hai kasoor apana hain

kahin to beete kal ki jadein
dil mein hi utar jaati hai
kahin jo dhage tute to malaayen bhikar jaati
koi dil mein jagah nayi, baaton ke liye rakhta hai
koi apni palko par yaadon ke diye rakhta hai
kehne ko saath apane ek duniya chalti hai
per chhupke is dil mein tanhaayi palti hai
bas yaad saath hai

Ghajini Vs Corporate work life - A lesson from Short term memory loss!!!

2008-12-27T01:35:00.007+05:30

:-) see I have started my post with the smile... cos I try to find some sort of message from any movie I watch (may be not always) but at least from Amir's movie, I know he is perfectionist and believe he will have some message from the movie he act like say for example RDB (Rang de basante) and TZP (Tare Zameen Per).

Well I had a similar mind set while I went on to movie to watch it, by the end of the movie I ended up in no message ;-) .. HOWEVER .. I still found one after I reached home... through Short Term Memory Loss!!! Lol...

Yeah Short term Memory loss...

Do you remember I have written couple of my previous post exactly or similar on the memory :-)

1. Oh Gosh!!! It’s very difficult for me to remember all I need to do... (Memory loss you see)
2. How do I Optimize My work to remember what I need to do!!! (Over coming memory loss)

Well this movie is somewhere relates to the posts I have written. ..

If you want to show perfection at your work and perfect follow ups and speed up your process then WORK LIKE SANJAY SINGANIYA (its Amir's name in movie Ghajini)

Let me explain...

He has short term memory loss in the movie (like we everyone has in ourselves absent minded you see ...) so how do you over come with absent minded. You need to follow Sanjay (Amir)

Truly... lessons are

Always have a note on what you did
Always set timeline for what you do.
Always record on what action you do.
Always follow-up on what you have noted.
Always find the link to reach your goal.
Last but not least... Hard Work & Focus!!!!

This is what exactly in the Film Ghajini project to take his revenge on killer of his girl friend and now you need to do similarly the same... you girl friend is your goal and revenge is your objective... and you are the tool.

Just to throw a light of the comparison... with movie - Ghajini and Corporate life growth...

1. Always have a note on what you did

Amir always takes up the note on every action he does so that he should remember everything and goes along the track!!

we need to do exactly similar in the work place take a note on what you do, how you do and fix your alerts and calendar to achieve it.

2. Always set timeline for what you do.

Amir's sets the timeline on what to kill his enemy and now you need to do the same :-) when to kill your boss have a timeline to it (just kidding ;-) ...)

Have a timeline fixed timeline not adjustable or Indian timeline (you know what I mean) to achieve short term agenda's

3. Always record on what action you do.

Well Amir's takes photo of each person he kills and mark it as done when he finishes them and even if he wants to remember a friend.

Do it similar, document it anything you do any project you do so that it can be reused to see it in future.

4. Always follow-up on what you have noted.

Well Amir will have a follow up note on what to do next and whom to kill, see you got it... do the same... have follow up remember i explain in my previous post !!

5. Always find the link to reach your goal.

As Amir always used to find some sort of clue to find Ghajini and he will proceed,

That’s where you are... Every action you do will be counted to your growth and every project you do every activities you do will be added to you KPI ;-)... you know better what is KPI is..

6. Last but not least... Hard work & Focus!!!!

Though Amir's body is projected for a very short screens or moments... he have worked hard continuously for an year to gain that body... it will never come in over night or just like that .. It requires consistency and commitment.

This part doesn’t need explanation for any corporate... self explanatory isn’t it.

Hmmm go-ahead watch out for movie...

I would give it a 2.5 * out of 5... In that 1.5 is for Amir and 1 is for director if you take out Amir then there is nothing left... one who have watched Tamil Ghajini might not like it .. It’s balanced...

Keep rocking Keep commenting... ;-) and please keep talking...

It’s Pradeep SV.

How do I Optimize My work to rememeber What I need to do !!!

2008-12-15T01:23:00.007+05:30

It's a part II of the my previous post - "Oh Gosh !!! its very difficult for me to remember all I need to do .."

If you have not read my last post please do and then go-ahead with this one to get the link back ... :)

So... coming back to me...

Here are some of the basic things I do in office to remember what i need to work and this technique might be helpful just in case if you are like me...

I will make mails as follow up (as soon as I read mail if I need to follow up that mail then I will mark it as follow up, that dumps the mail in the follow-up folder which highlights for me to check and follow through)
I will block my calendar (If that follow up comes under three days ago, or month ago or older I will drag and drop to calendar and block my calendar so that I need to work on that on mail at that time .. there is no other go I have finish that)
Write the To Do list - Dusvedaniya (soon I come to office first thing I do is make a list of things I need to do for that day, and I will make sure I will finish that work before I leave home, trust me even if I want to read any article I will block my calendar)
Update agenda on the meetings (before I sent out any mail I will update agenda or if I had just sent a meeting request with the general discussion say for example task review meeting then I will send out the request with or without agenda however in the meantime I will keep updating topics I have to discuss in the meeting schedule on my calendar so that I can discuss all that’s in the list while I am in the call/meeting.
Meeting note on one note - Thanks to Microsoft very excellent tool to make a note of the calendar I would recommend everyone to make use of one note to make the meeting note.

Most important things... I forgot to mention its 1 hour drive to office from my home... so what i should do so that i should not just kill my time driving... Ting!!! Idea (This phrase I learnt from the those beautiful people I had interacted in past and a permanent thread keep running still in the back of my mind always) So in the busy days we get less time to interact with the people around us, we never even call to close family people and friends for months sometime .. everyday while go to office I call all of them who I think I should keep in touch (Except some which I cannot call even though I want to) hmmm I get happy talking, and making sure I am in touch, well ..

I am polling my car from someday... so i need to thing of some other alternative now so that not to kill time just talking with my friend while drving (yeah somtime i drive and many times him - i hate driving in traffic you see) so again Ting Idea !!! .. I have mentioned him to bring one everyday one article on Web analytics (our core expertise) and read out explain and discuss till we reach office whoever not driving... (Me now ;-) ...)

Take Aways!!

Always make To Do it list (or do it list)
Reduce traffic (by Pooling Car - Comute.com)
Do not waste the time - Keep thing and extract best out of it.
Do multi tasking (keep watching TV while you do other work ;-)..)
Rest pleas comment if you read my blog.

Hey... I am getting sleep... Good I god time to write something today... its Sunday... night I will publish this once I have a spell check... i am very bad in spelling...

Good night and bye to CNN IBN (I was watching news along me write ;-) ....)

It’s Pradeep SV for you...

Make a Game (Same we are playing in our life )
Take a Walk (we do take every now and then for a coffee break)

You know what... let me explain a footage (the word i learnt by seeing Big Boss on Color TV) which happened in my office... I was asking my colleagues to bring a Gaming CD (Age of Empire - the only game I liked till today and played completely many times) and he never brought it and he kept forgetting it... i had given the idea also I said .. "Please take a snap of mine and make it as your phone desktop wallpaper so that every time you see me... you will remember AOE..." hehehee hai na good idea...

Well that didn’t worked... so I had decided another idea... every morning I came to office the first thing I started doing is. I went to him and said... "Hey Mr. Age of Empire !!, How are you doing today?" hmm you know what... the idea worked out after 9th day of regular wish... ;-) believe me I got the CD...

Read my next post ....

Lot lot of people will accumulate to see and pray for god.
Crowd will be religion free, all the community people will gather there to see a spectacular view of chariot and god decorations.

I start thinking when I feel that i need more, to be more specific I start thinking of advanced features when I am actually very lazy .. dreams never burns out you see .. either it will be consistent or exponential, in my case its sinusoidal ;-) sometime or most of the time or never :-) (thats my mind says...)

Well If i start writing exactly all the what my mind is saying then even i will never understand what i said if I read the same post later in time .. :) why later .. even if i read after few hours ;-)

So .. in morining i was watching my beloved TV (I die for my TV its my moster TV :) and i love my TV more then my fridge ;) ... ) Well i have Sony Bravia monster telivision stilll .. look at the dream or desier to have more and more features to make me more lazy and comfort.

I was wataching ad of Tata Sky and it says .. you can recored programmes and even you can pause live match, well .. I will be in office in day .. then how would i record todays show when i am in office .. see .. Need #1 I SHOULD BE ABLE TO PROGRAM MY TV SO THAT I RECORDS WHATEVER PROGRAM I MENTIONED IN THE MENU WHEN I AM NOT AT HOME SO THAT I CAN COME BACK AND WATCH THE SAME :) is it a needed one :)

However i should not get so much confused to program it .. thats when HP touch Smart comes in picture., my remote should have LCD and drag and drop options, like you see .. it show all todays programmes and there should be a basket where i can drag and drop into the basket so that i should record all inside that basket.

I have 5 remotes in my home, i should have somthing one common touch screen remote which controls all my gadgets like Speakers, Tata Sky, TV, DVD player and my Play station (if any ;-)..)

Pradeep SV: Redefining My Blog Objective

2008-10-20T11:49:00.007+05:30

Today while coming to office, I was thinking about this blog (pradeepsv.blogspot.com) I have left completely idle from last few months, and also i was thinking about on what intent i had started this blog, what was the objective of it, My profile or the field I am working right now since last 3+ years i,e Web Analytics are has changed the way i think... Seriously believe me .. I always think how organized i can work or execute whatever i do (doesn't i never used to think before, it has thoughts and thinking has increased and striving to accuracy), it can be writing blog, cooking at home, cleaning my room, planning for a weekend, i want to be perfect and extract best of it.

I always ask myself what is the objective of what i am doing and how do you measure success, sometime i give the name "passion" if i don't find any objective behind it ;-) say for example buying an iPhone (though i use phone just for talking why do i need high end phone isn't it passion - i never bought yet thats a different story ;-) ) there are may of this sort which we normally tag it with passion.

Ooppss .. i easily go out of focus .. yeah i was talking about the reach or the context of this blog, until today i used to put all what i read anywhere it may be (copy paste) and what I observe (my own) and what i see interesting (usually copy paste) didn't had anything in my mind earlier and today i am thinking i should have something as objective and serve some purpose today or later at least to one person (me ;-) ..).

I am thinking it doesn't any specific audience in my mind except me, my friends, my dear and near one's, all those what want to know what my minds thinking and last but not the least FOR THOSE ONE WHO HATE ME (trust me i never hated you and i still love you and love you all)

So, thats the short update and decided to keep everything aside and just talk or write "WHATEVER MY MIND SPEAKS" i really want to document what I think and every moment and see how the change has occurred? How I could change to make myself better?, what I could have done to make it move on my way or smoother.

Summary/Conclusion

I am redefining my blogs objective
I will be writing whatever my mind speaks and thinks (May be not all but what i can share)
I will write all my observations, my experience my thoughts.
I promise it will not hurts anyone's feeling while I write anything on anybody

Please Note: Whatever I write is not anyone’s perspective or solely my personal views, and it not written to hurt anyone’s feelings or anyone’s mind sets, Just in case un-knowingly if I had written anything odd or which obstructs anyone's perspective please do send me a mail to pradeep_soft@hotmail.com and I will remove the post/words if I feel its genuine.

Some of the Blot Stats till today before I leave

I will update this as an when I feel it has to be changed to make it better.

Microsoft's founder and head Bill Gates steps down

2008-06-27T12:50:00.003+05:30

The founder and head of Microsoft, the world's largest software company Bill Gates steps down on Friday.

One of the richest men in the world, Gates will now work full time for his charitable organization The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

The 52-year-old will continue to be chairman though, but will only retain a nominal role in the software empire.

He is still is the biggest shareholder of the company and his 8.7 per cent stake in Microsoft is worth about 23 billion dollars.

Gates authored the personal computer revolution three decades ago when he founded Microsoft along with his friend Paul Allen.

It is almost unthinkable that any one human could pick up where BillGates leaves off when he ends his full-time tenure Friday as Microsoft's leader.

But as Gates bones up on epidemiology at his charitable foundation, the software company he built with a mix of visionary manifestos and extreme hands-on management must still wake up Monday to face hard problems even he could not solve. Among them: beating Google Inc. on the Web while fending off its attacks on desktop computing.

When Microsoft Corp. announced in 2006 that Gates planned to go part-time as board chairman, so he could spend more time on his global health charity, it named two senior executives to guide the company's overall technical direction.

Gates' recent remarks, however, indicate Microsoft is looking to a much larger group of employees for big-picture guidance and long-term planning. But it's not yet clear whether the company can replicate his thinking with more traditional corporate processes or whether it should even be trying.

From Microsoft's start in 1975, Gates has been the company's genius programmer, its technology guru, its primary decision maker and its ruthless and competitive leader.

He would famously disappear into the solitude of a country cabin to digest employee-written papers and ponder the future of the industry, then emerge with manifestos, including the 1995 ''Internet Tidal Wave'' memo, that could shift the focus of the entire company.

He is credited by analysts and academics for the emergence of software as a moneymaking industry; previously it had been a pastime for hobbyists or a subset of the hardware sector. He is revered by many engineers, despite his propensity to fling expletives at underlings whose ideas he scorned. And he has built Microsoft into a hugely successful monopoly that has only grown stronger despite major losses in antitrust trials in the US and Europe. More on IBN News ;-)

छोडो न मुझे यूं बेकरार सा

2008-05-31T01:07:00.002+05:30

I am so fascinated about this song that i should write this in Hindi......

छोडो न मुझे यूं बेकरार सा
कर भी दो इजहार तुम अपने प्यार का
तुम्हारे दिल की है ये मंजिल मेरा दीवाना दिल
बोलो तुम बोलो
हो ओ हो ओ
कर दोगे इनकार टू जी न पायेंगे
जो कर दोगे इकरार टू मर ही जायेंगे
तुम्हारे दिल की है ये मंजिल मेरा दीवाना दिल
बोलो तुम बोलो
हो ओ हो ओ येः

इतने पराये जो हो तुम पहले कभी भी न थे
मेरे जहाँ में घमों की हो
तुम टू वजह ही नहीं थे
दिल से मेरे तुम ख़ुद को निकालो
या फिर मुझे ही अपना बना लो
बोलो तुम बोलो
हो ओ हो ओ

खोयी खोयी ज़िंदगी की
राहों में अब आ भी जाओ
जो तुम नहीं आना चाहो मुझको ही पास बुलाओ
कब तक जियेंगे ऐसे बताओ
मुझको नहीं तुम आजमाओ
बोलो तुम बोलो
ओ ओ हो ओ
छोडो न मुझे यूं बेकरार सा
छोडो न मुझे हूँ
कर भी दो इजहार तुम अपने प्यार का
तुम्हारे दिल की है ये मंजिल मेरा दीवाना दिल
बोलो तुम बोलो
हो ओ हो ओ हो ओ हो ओ

Arun Sarin's Vodafone legacy STEPS DOWN !!!!

2008-05-31T00:59:00.002+05:30

News that Vodafone's worldwide boss Arun Sarin will step down in July came as a bit of a surprise, but from a personal point of view his timing is perfect.

He leaves as Vodafone posts a full-year profit of a whopping 6.6 billion pounds and Vodafone benefits reaps the rewards of its move into emerging markets like India, which has propped up the company's growth rate.

It was a different story a couple of years ago, when Sarin was weathering a shareholder tussle to get rid of him. Some of Vodafone's influential shareholders were frustrated that Sarin, who took the role as CEO in July 2003, hadn't outlined a plan to deal with flagging growth in Vodafone's stronghold - Europe.

There were some nasty headlines at the time and the crisis threatened to split the company's upper management. In a shareholder vote at the time 10 per cent of ballots were cast against Sarin. But the board backed him, and a good move that has turned out to be.

When I saw Sarin speak at the 3GSM conference in Barcelona last February he stole the show with his articulate vision for entering emerging markets - in Vodafone's case, India and Turkey in particular. India has been the real success story for Vodafone and now the company has its eye on expanding its presence in China - the other booming mobile market.

That's his real legacy - taking the plunge into new markets, spending big to do so and ensuring Vodafone executes well in those markets.

He's also been responsible for steering Vodafone away from a mobile-only strategy to one where the company has admitted it needs to be in the fixed-line broadband game as well. You don't have to go further than New Zealand to see evidence of that.

Vodafone's purchase of ihug in 2006 was one of the early signs that the worldwide group planned on becoming a full service provider offering triple-play offerings under the Vodafone banner. Other investments in broadband operators around the world has re-inforced that strategy.

Sarin only visited New Zealand twice on short trips. Herald Business editor Liam Dann interviewed him on his last trip here in March when Sarin was given an official welcome at the airport and met with the prime minister.

"New Zealand is leading the parade within the Vodafone family in terms of taking us to the world we are going to." Sarin told Dann.

Where Sarin's track record hasn't been so good is in innovating on services and picking winners in Vodafone's core mobile market. He panned the iPhone before this year signing a deal to bring the phone to ten countries through Vodafone.

Rival mobile operators have gained ground on Vodafone in the most competitive markets through the introduction of attractive all-you-can-eat data plans, strategic mobile phone handset partnerships and by doing away with the walled-garden approach to mobile content epitomised by the Vodafone Live portal.

Still, for a 53 year old CEO who has weathered some rough times at Vodafone, now is a good time to go out. The British press has come to the conclusion that Sarin is quitting while he's ahead. It's hard to come to any other conclusion than that.
