Perception

Let’s suppose that two firemen go into a forest to put out a small fire. Afterwards, when they emerge and go over to a stream, the face of one is all smeared with black, while the other man’s face is completely clean. My question is this: which of the two will wash his face.’

‘That’s a silly question. The one with the dirty face of course.’

‘No, the one with the dirty face will look at the other man and assume that he looks like him and vice-versa, the man with the clean face will see his colleague covered in grime and say to himself: I must be dirty too. I’d better have a wash.’

IPL Bazaar

Last week I wasted 14 hrs of my life watching people getting sold “Live and exclusive”.I usually don’t watch T.V more than a hour a day.I watched the entire event only because of one reason :  Dr. Vijay Mallya(My Idol) and RCB , the team I follow.

The dust of the IPL Player Auction has settled. Players had been sold like slaves under the hammer.Other than IPL the only place I had heard of such auction was in the history class where the war prisoners were sold as slaves to the highest bidder. Same thing happened at banglore last weekend.The only difference was ,unlike slaves  the cricketers here actually get the money, as opposed to their owners.

Players of the likes Ganguly,Gayle,Lara,Jaysurya,Vaas  go unsold , whereas franchise shell out hell lot of money on players like Ravindra jadeja , Joginder Sharma , Irfan Pathan. I think after such humilitaion , most of the biggies will opt out of auction for the next bidding.IPL will definately have to look for the alternative.

The thing I  hated the most in IPL auction was the fun made around Md. Kaif , when his name was called for the third time for the auction on request of Pune warriors and 3 franchisee owners including RCB were bidding and laughing.

My Philosophhhhhyyyyy – Savings

Wikipedia: “Saving is income not spent, or deferred consumption.”

Harsh Arora: “Saving is the surplus left after you have bought everthing you wanted or spent on anything without giving a second thought to it and you cannot do anything with the money left”.

Quote of the day – Knowledge

Millions of people falsely believe that “Knowledge is Power”.Knowledge is only potential power. It becomes power only when , and if , it is organised into definite plans of action and directed to a definite end.

10 Rs. Note

What would you do if you found Rs. 10 note on the street/road ?

Whatever I had done with the money , I always felt guilt-laden. I am always in a  dilemma , what to do with the money?

Following are the things I had done at various time with the money I got:

When I was around 12, I found a Rs.2 note  near a shop and I gave it to the shopkeeper.But after returning it to shopkeeper, thoughts came to my mind that I should not have returned to him as the Rs. 2 note might be of some customer and if I got that , then its mine. Then after that , I kept the money with myself which I had found.

When I grew older, I started to give the money to the beggars or donate it in some temple(My Mom’s advice).

When I started the business , I found one(Rs.10)  in the office and kept it with me. My view at that time was that I should respect the money by whatever means they come(at that time I also have the loan of 4 Lakh and was almost broke).

Few days back I saw the Rs. 10 note on street, I didn’t event pick up that as I was not sure what I will do with it.(From that only, I got the idea to write this blog).

I don’t think the above scenerios had been the same if I had found Rs. 500.

True Friends – The Zahir

Our true friends are those who are with us when the good things happen. They cheer us on and are pleased by our triumphs. False friends only appear at difficult times, with their sad, supportive faces, when, in fact, our suffering is serving to console them for their miserable lives…

When I had started my first business(MARWAR) , the friends who use to visit me regularly , didn’t even came at the inaguration.But when I close down the same, they called me up and  express their sympathies. I can relate the above definition of true friends with this experience.
