Kiss from Liberia!

We all receive phishing mails once in a while, ain't it? War in Brukina Faso - want to shift to India with tonnes of money - have no means to do so, so need your help! Will give you commission!
We'll share 50-50!
Hell, come on - you just help me shift - give me 10% of what is mine.
Ha Ha! It is no doubt fun reading these mails and pressing spam button after that. But recently, I received one which demanded more than just passing attention. Here goes the text from a sweet lady called Jasmine:

Tere,
Hello, how is your day,i pray this letter meet you in good health.
How are you and your day my names are Jasmine Awa i am 24 yrs old
,single,never married young girl, searching for a man who is caring
and loving,i came from Liberia in Africa and i am the only daughter of
Dr Wilson Awa. My late father was the director of 'AWA INDUSTRIAL
COMPANY LIMITED' (AICL) before his death from the war going on in my
country .
It was on one early morning attack from hired assasins, killing my
parents on a cold blood as i am the only one left. I managed to flew
to a near by country Dakar Senegal where we are staying now as a
refugee. I was doing my second year in nursing school before the
incident occured,I saw your mail while I was browsing the internet,and
decided to contact you. I will like to know your likes and dislikes
and what you are doing presently,I believe our future relation can
start from here.have a nice day.
I will tell you more about me with my photo in my next mail.
Awaiting to hear from you, God bless you.
kisses from Jasmine.

hope to hear from you soon.

Awesome! Now, they even want to start a relationship! Seriously phishers, you think this is going to be an attractive proposition? Have you made your B-Plan properly? Why the hell would I want a relationship with a Liberian Girl? No. Thank you. [yes, I have pressed the Spam Button, finally!]

Saraswati to Laxmi!

 Image Courtesy: http://www.thehindu.com/ Now that MBA is over and I am considered an ounce wiser, being back home means work. There are so many pending things that are just waiting in the attic to be dusted and made to work again. One of them is the mammoth task of physical share transfer and dematerialization. Though stated in one pretty sentence, it takes months of effort and work. And of course, money!  My brother has been painfully going about the motions of this work for a couple of months now and nothing much yet seems to have resulted out of it. We struck a good deal with a certain Saraswati something shares. I asked, "How much would this one fetch us?". He replied, "Enough to recover the money you spent on your MBA degree". I exclaimed, "Really! Waoh! Even after they have been dormant for like 15 years??!". He quipped, in exasperation, "Weren't they supposed to teach you all this in B-School?" I did shut up and let him do this pain

Were you sleeping?

How irritating is it to get a phone call when you are in that last hour of your sleep on a Saturday morning? Worse, if it turns out to be your mobile service provider wanting to confirm if you would want to upgrade your 3G plan (which in any case sucks with most providers in India!) Even worse, what if it turns out to be someone important, like your boss? Now you don't want to sound totally sleepy - do you? What would he/she be thinking of you if he were to ask, "Were you sleeping?" at 11 am in the morning? (And, this is judgmental attitude is especially true of older white haired balding bosses!) Well, here are a few tips to sound all alert & morning crispy when actually you would have killed him for ruining your sleep on a Saturday morning. They have worked well for me, hope they would for you too! - Take a deep breath, let the phone ring for a few seconds so that you get a chance to clear your head (hope you did not have much alcohol last night).

Continuity called Nature

Other not so important news is as follows. I am limping with a completely removed nail from the finger next to toe on my left foot, heat is getting unbearable as it is supposed to be, work is hectic as usual, I don't find time to exercise, I like to sleep more and I am hopelessly stuck in a rut of work-home routine with minor hiccups like the stupid freak toe injury. Pretty uneventful as usual. What we tend to forget while ranting like I just did is that these continuous monotonous processes in life are also the driving force for us to graduate to newer and widened laws of nature - even though we may tend to resist them. It is hard to realize the importance of these circles until you find few precious minutes for yourself to think and look around. There is nothing new with spring and summer. We hardly have spring season though - summer conquers spring quickly and brutally. I happened to be loitering around lackadaisically on the terrace and found the beautiful burnt orange on t
