Dilbert in real life

Confronted with an impossible timeline, a lucrative deal and a jaw-dropping opportunity, it didnt take me long to realise we needed help.

Seek help I did, called one of the brightest architects I knew and said "Mate, can you help and you are the only one who can. We have to get this out in 4 hrs time". And like a true mate he said "I will come over to your place rightaway"

After an hour of context setting, opportunity sizing and the attractivness of the deal he nods his hed, looks at his blackberry, clears his throat and says "It is a fantastic opportunity but sadly I am in a meeting with my boss for the rest of the day".

Amen!

Irony

Did you notice the irony....

1. Sachin is one of the 14 invited to Ash Abhi wedding and he is not in the 14 cricketers invited by the cricket board to travel to Bangladesh

2. Rahul Gandhi childishly gloats his grand-mom dismembered Pakistan and the next day Dr. Manmohan Singh says he is the future of U.P and by extension - India

3. Sivaji songs are downloadble on the net prior to its audio release and the songs are plain unlistenable!

Silence

A moment's rage
Spewing hurtful words
That linger for ages
Silence seems longer than swords

Bangladesh

Is the turnover of BCCI more than the GDP of Bangladesh?

How about a hostile takeover? :)

Son

If I am Oracle, is my son MySQL?

Writer's block

Bloggers like me hit a writer's block when confronted with the annual appraisal form!

How about you?
