Apparantly,Our company decided that employees are being paid too much.So,instead of reducing the salaries, they have decided to suck the fortunes out of us in various ways.The latest one is the 60% hike in the monthly transportation charge. Here is the communication from our global HR head:
"........ We have done an analysis on the Transport Service provided by company at the current subsidised rate. Based on this analysis, we have found that the service is not being utilized effectively and this in turn is leading to high expenditure for the Company. The cost is higher as route planning and capacity is not optimised and the usage is not uniform......"
Let me rephrase that gem of the observation for you.
" We are a bunch of morons here. We doesn't know how to plan and execute the transportation plan. Since We are lazy bastards who don't give a s*it to what you think,We have decided to charge the hell out of you for our inefficiency. Because we CAN! HA!HA!HA!so long,SUCKERS!!!!"
Here are few words i want to say to this overpaid HR Head:
-First of all,Rs.1000 for a 15Km journey is not "subsidised". Its f*king stealing, u thief! thanks to ur incompetence, now its 1600!
-Its not our F*king problem if the route planning and capacity is not optimised. Isn't it ur f*king job to optimise that S*it???
-What do you mean we are not using the service effectively and the usage is not uniform?? We are not school children u mudhead!Irrespective of how many days we are coming, u are charging us for full month,right? What the hell is this blabber about uniformity??? You drunken lemure!!!
If you find the launguage used in this post a tad harsh,that can mean only one thing: GET OUT OF MY BLOG,
STINKING HR MANAGER!!

My encounter with Weaseleeez...
Now,i've never thought reading business paper would make me chuckle... but today's Business Line changed my opinion.I was reading an interview with Infosys CEO gopalakrishnan (or Krishhhh as some people call him!).
Talking about current financial crisis,he estimated that it would take 2 to 3 years for thing to settle down. And then he denied the reports that Infy is laying off people. However, he agreed that there were several performance based involuntary attritions taking place.....
Hold on for a second and comprehend that statement. If you don't believe me,read it for yourself.
I've never heard so many jokes in dilbert books about weaseleez,the official management launguage. But this is the first time that i am seeing it in news papers.....

Luck by Chance - My thoughts
OK. I've a confession.
Bollywood movies are my guilty pleasure... I know they are trash. I know they are shameless rip offs of hollywood films. heck! even it's unofficial title is also a rip off. Yet, i see them because they are atleast better than... well... Our Regional films.Atleast they don't have an introduction song for heroes, interval "bangs",goons with 3 metre long beards,sumos flying in air... etc. And yet,every now and then i get a chance to see a hindi movie which fills me with the hope that may be we are improving.
Today after I watched "Luck by Chance",Hope sprang to life again.....
I was enthralled with the title sequence itself,Showcasing all the otherwise obscure people involved in filmmaking;the tiny screws in the giant mechanism of cinema:The extras,the projectionist in the theatre,the chai wala at the shooting, the make up assistant,low level costume supplier,the light boy...
The one thing i really loved is the subtlity involved in many of the scenes.You never see protagonists saying "I love you" to each other,but you realise it! With a simple shot of Konkana sen sleeping in her bed and Farhaan tying his shoes,Zoya conveys us that they've consumated their affair. But the scene which tops the subtility show is the one involving Farhaan and Isha sarwani.With out showing any nudity or even a kiss(They barely touch each other's fingers),Zoya created an extremely erotic and sensual scene in the film.You can actually sense the transormation in Farhaan's face when he senses the hints of isha and decides to play along.A lot of characters convey us what they wanted to tell with out actually saying it.This is one of the most intelligent film making i've ever seen.
This guy Farhaan Aktar continues to impress me.directing,script writing,acting,singing...He is sure one guy to watch out for. But what i lovemost about him is his selection of films. Both "Rock On" and this one are a notch above today's hindi cinema. And i must say, i am very glad that finally, mainstream hindi cinema is able to offer Konkana some roles. Few years ago, i used to see her in only parallel cinema like Mr and mrs ayer! Everybody in the film does their job well,but i am disappointed with JUhi.Her role has nothing to do in the movie. Even If you erase her from each frame,you won't feel any difference.I don't know why she is doing this insignificant roles....
The climax is in resonance with the freshness of the movie.There is no sugary romantic end.And the story is not so much a story as it is a slice of life of the main characters. some people may find the narration slow,but i call it "gentle".
To sum up,My brother always ridicules me for watching hindi cinema. Now, "Luck by chance" is the kind of film which i can show to him without embarrassing myself.
