My sabatical of six months which ends tomorrow has been quite refreshing except a few irritants. I had decided to spend the time in Lucknow with my relatives and friends and also to enjoy the mouth watering Kababs with Parathas (Ulta tawa) and Biriyani. This time I had decided to taste it in different joints unlike The famous Tunda. Personally, some were actually better than The Tunda. The one of Siddique Bhai in Mumshi Pulia was awesome. To tell you the truth, The Tunda Kababs now are more of Papaya (which is used to soften the meat).
The city of Nawabs is also unique in the sense that it has a perfect blend of modernity and old world charm. The people of this city rushes back home at about 6-6.30 pm from office and tell you what they are at home in about 10-15 minutes. That's the beauty. Think of it in Delhi.
Oops!!! That's where I am headed back after this wonderful relaxation because what Lucknow really misses are job opportunities. What consequtive state governments have failed to offer its citizens is opportunity to work locally and enjoy the best of both worlds.
Anyway, for all of you who matter much in my life, I am in Delhi starting 28th May and will meet in the popular hangouts like Kalkaji gol-chakkar, FCC, Ghitorni Pahari (one of the best places in Delhi to unwind in the middle of nature.) In the meantime, pls visit www.techchannelsindia.com. Henceforth, this will be my professional identity. I have realized that this is the segment which really gave me a lot of affection and I had neglected this segment for almost 5 years. Therefore, my renewed association with this section. This is only a beta site and being improved.
See you then...Chao.

Channel Media Reporting: The “Ghajni” Effect
What is common between the disgraced Ramalinga Raju and Vivek Prakash (Remember him?)
In the recent past when the industry learned about Ramalinga Raju’s alleged fraud leading to his resignation and subsequent arrest, we seemed to have forgotten Vivek Prakash, the ex-head of Samsung’s IT division. This was more evident in the scores of frenzied media coverage.
We have decided to resume our journey in journalism by pointing out this fact because minus his alleged financial mis-adventure, Vivek Prakash was equally popular in this channel segment. The journalists reporting on IT industry knew him well but now they seem to be suffering from Ghajni effect (short-term memory loss) while reporting on Raju and Satyam. The first major shock on hearing of fraud in the IT industry was therefore not of Ramalinga Raju but was that of Vivek Prakash.
Vivek can safely be credited as one professional responsible for creating and strongly establishing Samsung as a IT player but today the channel segment and even the journalists covering this segment seems to have forgotten him.

"I Love You" is a Lie
How many times have you told somebody "I love you" or somebody has told you the same? That many times, be assured you have told a lie or you have been subjected to a lie. Don't believe me? Well try this sincerely with me once...Take a deep breath and think of the person you think you love.
All that you can remember are the good feelings that the other person has made you feel...and good feelings come from satisfied senses. Some will satisfy your emotional senses, others will satisfy your physical senses, while others will satisfy your funny senses and so on...We only say "I Love You" when some senses are being satisfied by the other person in parts or in totallity (at least we think so) or we say so simply because we want something from that person. Also you will notice that "I Love You" syndrome is mostly felt and told either pre-sex or having sex.
I maybe wrong but I feel that we only love ourselves and because our various senses are satisfied by the other person partly or completely, we say "I Love You. " Therefore...
we lie!!!
