Fair & Lovely, Bad Managers, JJ, Sutton United !!!

Shades Michelle Obama

I post this in BLACK as my appreciation to Black Shade!! 

I was always thinking that the shade of Human Skin and to look fair is an obsession with Indian /South Asian women!! Imagine my shock when I heard Assignment last night during walk on how this is also a big issue facing black woman across Africa and United States! I am feeling a lot of respect for Michelle Obama how she overcame this as well as an example to other dark shaded black woman to get back some self confidence!! In an Indian context this is such a disgrace, I recollect, when I told Mom to look for a girl back in 1990s, the color, complexion etc, never even occurred to me to mention as an aspect to look for!!! Thankfully Mom, my grandmother (here with son below 1994) being a lot lot fairer, also never

used it as filter to scout potential brides!Thank Heaven for that!!!

I always look forward to Lucy Kellaway's weekly pod casts over last 7-8 years!!

She always gives a counter perspective to everything that happens in world and I tend to agree 99.999% of her view (I am being High"D" cant go along/get along as per norm).Lucy would be quitting, Financial Times after good 30 years, this summer and going to Teaching Math for school kids. What a change?. 

In this podcast, Lucy ponders about how despite world class facilities, flexi timing,good food (Good fuck too, as I know of a company that keeps condoms for disposal to employees at Bangalore; wonder they allow sex at work?hehehehhe I personally know of Pregnancy at work reported as NEAR MISS reporting ehheheheheheheheehehehheheheheheheheheheheh) people are very unhappy, uninspired, demotivated at work!! The Reason, they have bad, horrible, pathetic, lousy, idiotic Managers as their bosses to guide/chart them! I am not surprised with this as I owe my success more to my leaders who mentored/coached me and I picked tricks of the trade which I have covered in many Facebook posts!!!( I had only one very very bad boss in my 28 years! Lucky I got rid of him 7 months flat and moved to a suepr job in 1999)

Every day new twists and turns are emerging on JJ death. I wish the government goes in to bottom of this and clears all doubts! தமிழக முதல்வரும் கேள்விக்குள்ளாக்கப்பட்ட அவரது உடல் நிலையும் - ஓர் ஆய்வு  It is right of people to know how their leader died! While I am not a JJ fan (for that no politician in last 30 years) I can't help feel sorry for JJ for the way the end came to her especially last year or so! I always predicted she wouldn't pass 2016 in my tweets!! 

Until yesterday the only Sutton I know was Management Teacher Bob Sutton!!(Knowing doing gap) hahah! So today Sutton town in UK most talked about in Football. A club 102 places below Arsenal

They couldn't get past Arsenal, but boy! what a performance!! I was told that their annual wage bill of 40,000£, is half as much as what Peter Chech Arsenal goal keeper gets as Weekly wage in EPL!! This 250,000£ is windfall for them!! FA Cup is all about such teams and shows class of English Football.

Take care, have a great day, God bless

Rubber Stamp, 7£, FA CUP giant killer ,நாதாரி நாய்களா

I am of the opinion that the President of India, Governors of the Indian States are just dummy position with Rubber stamps to endorse governments at office. I cant recollect any person of political background in these two positions in my memory of 40 years have done anything useful or contributed anything to society. Oh! yes their sexcapades, greed, bills footing lakhs on pvt aircraft use makes you loathe them!!The greatest rubber stamp I recollect was VV Giri!! I also recollect cursing the death of President Fakhrudhin Ali Ahmed as Bugger died on day of Cricket test match Ind vs Eng 1977 so NO radio commentary to follow!! hahahahh!!! 

So while there is no need in a larger sense for this position, I am puzzled why this ceremonial post is lying vacant in TN over past 5 months or so! The current TN acting governor is shunting between Bombay and Madras! Shows how the current idiotic central Government cares in providing support for the process of governance however useless the position is! 

I finished reading Good old James Hadley Chase's "No Business of mine" set in 1947 UK!! a Champagne bottle cost 7£! I calculated current cost is about 300£, Intriguing!!

FA Cup always produces a Giant Killing act! This year we can expect a 5th division teams 100th & 120th ranked in FA ratings playing a potential Quarter final. (Lincoln vs possibly Sutton)  FA Cup final was non miss event to follow over Radio during 80s for me!! Don't think current Champions League can get that kind of support!! 

நாதாரி நாய்களா  Pl listen to the common man anger against MLA's who created ruckus! Watch out very very abusive language in TAMIL!! ehheeh! 99% Indian folks would use such language to PM, CM, MLA, MP, Justice system! As Justice Katju says  in this video,All should be shot or hanged including BJP Goons!! hahah! That man in Tamil audio u can hear he spits!! No wonder India grows in spite of Politicians, governance, Bureaucrats!!

Have a good day!! God Bless!

ASSE, Roe vs Wade, Watchman to Mr President, Boss FILES!!! அடி வெட்டு குத்து கொல்லு

I am delighted to see that the "American Society of Safety Engineers"(ASSE) Event at Hyderabad over last 2 days went very well. Folks indicated that there were lot of learning sessions for Safety professionals. I did feel bad missing out on my presentation sessions on PROCESS SAFETY at the event due to a personal situation. ASSE India does a great job in conducting value add sessions on various topics across India and ably supported by American Folks! While ESH involvement, Engagement stems a lot from Leadership and commitment, which is sadly not the way I see now with Costs / Price tag alone coming as deciding factor in everything vs Value add event to business as was case even 15 years back! As I read Schumpeter this morning, Short termism has ruined everything ??? Blame CEO's taking excuse on Shareholder value ??? 

Know this face and Name?? Well she passed away today at the age of 69! As a conservative, I am against Abortion of pregnancy, except as done to protect woman's life or determined based on medical condition. I still feel helpless when Lalitha had to undergo termination of her first pregnancy before Radhu,due to medical complication,(One of major decision for us to quit Gujarat due very poor health care;of course not the only one!!)thankfully the system exist here in India to work that out an easy way,unlike paying heavy price in some Catholic nations like Ireland etc. Termination is thankfully a non issue here!!My view is abortions / terminations are bad /dangerous than complete delivery on Woman's physical, emotional, mental well being and least done is better!!! It was interesting that the staunch abortionist (Pro choice) rights, this lady turned against Abortion to become Pro Life in her campaign!! Life always teach lesson and turn around!!! Freakonomics had intersting take on Roe vs Wade that crimes reduced due to this historic SCOTUS Judgement!!!

Tea Seller(s) became leaders with மோ(ச)டி Modi, OPS dishing out horrible, inept performance! Now a Security Gaurd, Watchman becomes President and let's hope he is different to work his country through! Welcome to the Rock, Mr Adama Barrow, who was doing that job in London few years back! Goes to show when things work you can do wonders!! Gambia is a classic case when you have neighbours who care for fair process,dictators can't stick around! I wish him all luck!  

Boss Files is an excellent Business Podcast with Leaders on issues, success, challenges from Leadership perspective. I have listened to 5 out of 13 so far !! Discussion with Abby Wambach as Episode 1 is apt one to start the series!! The last name is an Epic lawyer in the 90s serial Picket Fences, so I decided to listen and was not disappointed!! 

US World cup Winning Soocer team at WH with Abby Wambach 

 

Late Fyuvesh Finkel as Lawyer DOUGLAS WAMBACH in Picket Fences  90s serial with his Emmy Award!!! 

I leave with Shameful Images of TN yesterday in Assembly! Picture is worth 1000 words! Do we deserve democracy???? hahahhahahah!!! Disgrace! 

Have a great Sunday, God Bless!! Stay Safe!

Saturday Evening Temple visit!!

Saturday evening time are for Temple visit with Lalitha. With Maha Shivaratri around the corner Saturday week, the Kadu Malleswara temple is getting ready. This 400++Year old temple has awesome History. 

New Bull Statue getting ready! 

Ravan To burn???

Nandi in Human Form!!! 

Lord Murgua our First port of call

Good Governance!!, We Googled you!?? , 143Bn$, Marry in their 80s!

Youth Protest over corrupt TN Government planned across from Tomorrow across TN!

I am kind of alarmed at Youth Protest movement planned from tomorrow across TN. While I am all for protests/strike etc as collective aspect to express dissent (In fact we did our own share of few sit in college days to have our way in internal issues)Youth taking this up in national /political issue is a cause of concern and cause irrevocable hardship for them going forward. I recollect the time between 1968-1985, the 18 years of my youth,we don't recollect any turbulence that affected our aim of life at that age,that is to study super for great performance (???? I was first from last is another matter) get a great post graduate degree,get a top notch job and thus a license to a good Sex with woman to marry and love!!Remember we had the 1971 War,1975 Emergency which could have lead to lot of chaos and things could have derailed. Shows sometimes, Good governance is like good Management,mundane, non sexy and routine and grinds life!

I recollect protests can lead to an individual in to black mark situation which can come back to haunt in life as we go up in career ladder!!! 

"WE GOOGLED YOU" and come to harm the very aspect that could be in conflict!! 

I wake to the morning news of Kraft bidding for Unilever at 18% more stock price totalling to a price of 143 Bn$!! I am told that is more than the GDP of Hungary!!! I recollect going mouth Agape when 1995,Novartis was formed from merger of Our Sandoz and rival across Rhine- Ciba Geigy for 5Bn$ then!!

That looks loose change in these times. (I am told this is II biggest merger post Vodafone!) As like every Hostage /Kidnap bid,this 1st Bid, will be rejected by Unilever,I would think 35% would be a premium that would settle!! Let's see!!!

Amazing to read, 42 years after they first met and had a platonic relationship, they decide to marry and is happening today! Life can take you to places!! 

Bill Gates Annual newsletter and Notes FEB, an awesome read, 36Bn$ as give away! What a man!! Still Indian Saffron Scoundrel மூதேவி பண்ணி பீடை would find fault with everything he and Melinda does, saying all these is Conversion tricks and medical guinea pigs!! hahahah! Ungrateful bastards I tell you!!! Conversion and corruption U can NEVER win me with any argument!! NO CHANCE!!

Have a good day, God Bless, Take care.

25 days! Fillon, Nun Band! Sexting!!!

Wow, it is just 25 days in to Trump Administration, it looks like 25 Months of action!! Scandals, Inept WH Team, Exits, Disagreements, Tear down of laws, Decline position offered, Cold War,Asking Reporter to Sit Down/Arrange meeting! #POTUS Trump is nothing folks expected!! I am sure over time Trump would find his way through and he has great team as his cabinet as Secretaries!! He need to remember only one thing and don't do!!! Americans wont care if Muslims Slaughtered or blocked their exit, Blacks being Hammered, Chinese being made Pickle etc etc, they would shrug, turn face and move on!! But extend warm friendly Hand to Russia- You are doomed, Russia is exactly opposite of what all America stands for Viz.God, Capitalism, Freedom, Liberty, Truth, Honor. Nothing of these core American values exist in Russia. So I Hope Trump sees reason and do a retreat on his love for Russia! Else DOOM, Americans would go any length to see that he is out of Scenario! Remember, 55 yrs down the time line, JFK is still remembered and hosted as hero for his ANTI Soviet Stance!!

Negotiator -1989

I was astounded to read for a mere 800,000$ issue, Francois Fillon is being investigated by French Agency as though he committed Murder! That too he gave his family as Salary, back in 1990!! Our "PUTA MADRE" Indian politicians loot that much amount in an Hour and perhaps spend monthly on Booze, prostitute/Escorts/on blow jobs as happened in Madras this week!!! French politicians must be wondering what is way to get one way ticket to India???? 

Intriguing to see this NUN BAND at Peru dishing out awesome music!! Breaking the stereotype! God Bless them!!!

Delighted to hear NOKIA 3310 phone which sold Millions is making come back!

For me mobile phone means Battery 26 hrs, weigh like brick, no impact from 12 feet fall! I am glad MS is reworking that!! Who cares Smartphone etc which has dangers of Sexting, talking of which this TED-TALK by Amy Adele Hasinoff says how to avoid getting to Sext trap! Just remember, "IF it goes out of OUT BOX" you have no control of it! So be discreet!! I also recollect, Eric Schmidt of Google saying this decade back as quoted below!!

Ok Good day, take care stay safe, God Bless!

TN Update: Next Periyar Around????

I am very glad that TN stalemate has been resolved!! As Tamil saying goes of Poet Bharathiar"ஆயிரம் உண்டிங்கு ஜாதி -இதில் அந்நியன் வந்து புகல் என்ன நீதி -ஒரு தாயின் வயிற்றில் பிறந்தோம்" All said and done issue is of Tamils to be sorted by Tamil folks themselves using any tricks such as negotiations or war or வெட்டு குத்து அடி கொல்லு !!! It was getting dangerous with BJP goons and Amit Shah kind of Thieves trying to manipulate happening and get a chance to govern through Proxy! I am sure, the Rotten DMK or Wretched Slaves of All Indira Amma DMK (AIADMK) of Tamil origin know how to govern. They any day better than Saffron clad scoundrels of Big Joota Party!!! BJP should never be allowed in even an inch!! I hope for next 100 years Tamil Voters don't allow BJP win even deposit in 1 seat in MP or MLA elections!!! For me BJP, worse & far far dangerous than ISIS; and all their leaders characterless, so never allowed in! 

I was laughing to myself the Lattitude and Longitude folks going berserk at today's happening !! hahahah!! Next "Periyar" Round the corner, I guess!!! I have already warned my parents to move out when next crusade comes up!! I wont be taking their sides for sure as long as they stick to BJP!!!!!!! No way! !!! 

Good Luck and God bless TN!!!

PS: I am against Mad Tamil Culture that prevails since 1980s and the 5C that kills TN! சினிமா, (Cinema)சீட்டு (Cheetu),சாராயம், (Charayam)கிரிக்கெட்(Cricket) and 5thC, C**T !!!! TN as my birth land always my port of call & to keep track despite leaving that place for good 30+ Yrs back!!! 

StatsData & Hans Rosling!!! Corrupt BJP! Same side goal!!

I recollect Reading Eric Schmidt many years back quoting this in his book.

"It reminds us of our favourite quote from Jim Barksdale, erstwhile CEO of Netscape: “If we have data, let’s look at data. If all we have are opinions, let’s go with mine."

I always worked this in my career, if I don't have data -I don't decide PERIOD. A poor /proxy data is better than NO DATA!! Worked super for me at work, career,Job change etc!!! I am big fan of "What gets measured Gets done and data are foundation to measurement" 

So it was very sad to read passing away of Hans Rosling, Swedish Statistician last week! Hans jokingly says, Swedish students knows statistically less in interpreting data than Chimpanzee!!  

I keep saying BJP (Big JOOTA PARTY-Party of Liars) is full of crooks, thugs, goons, scoundrels, Wolves clad in sheep clothing!

Dr SS the original case filed in 1995, hurdle put by BJP Goons in Karnataka Govt and center!! hahah! MODI a Thugh!!! Bugger congratulated JJ as soon as Not guilty verdict in 2014!!! Moron!!! 

My opinion of these Saffron clad scoundrels has never changed in last 30 years! PM MODI greatest manipulator goon of all !!! They loot, plunder engage in deceit much more than other political parties but pretend they do good society. Listen to this conversation leaked about how a cabinet minister and ex-CM, talks about paying bribe to party in #Bangalore. 

Hahhahah! No explanation for this tweet!! hahhahah! Original Tweet saying Mayawati would pull a Trump in UP elections!!! NOW GUULLL!! He should have stuck to his opinion and say F**** off to வழுகை மண்டை மூதேவி பொருக்கி Amit Shah, Bugger!! hehehehh!!! 

Astonishing to read US intelligence community not handing over sensitive documents to President Trump! So much distrust!! How is he going to go about it??  I tweeted yesterday in my list Sean Spicer tops list in folks to be kicked out by Trump and wont last long??? Looks my hunch is right and too much infighting in WH!Trump has big struggle on hand!! God bless him!!! 

Take care, stay safe, have a good day.

Gen Flynn, Divorce, Valentine, JJ,

Off all the people who could be kicked out from Trump Administration, Michael Flynn was last on my list! (I expected Sean Spicer, Steven Bannon top the list along with Alternate facts =liar lady, Kellyane Conway!)

It is indeed very unfortunate that this straight talking, no nonsense General, didn't use caution in dealing with Ass hole Russians!! (For me If there are folks worse than ISIS in charecter in Blackmail, goons etc it is the Russians followed by our Indian BIG JOKER PARTY) I feel sorry that he has to go! Goes to prove American political system would forgive you for treachery but not for doing it and lying about it!!! The intriguing aspect was he is punished for an act called LOGAN ACT  framed in 1799 and never used once!!! 

On Valentine's day, I am hearing of a separation of family relative after about 20 years of marriage. It makes me Feel sad when separations happen! For me, it is all about adapting and adjusting as well as give and take making live/let live come hell or high water! I wonder is it environment you are around/family background meta data makes you take that decision rather than giving marriage more hope/rope to give it a chance!! Makes you value more the spouse you posses and make more commitment to make the marriage work more stronger!!! 

hahhaha! Mentioning Valentine, meet the only Valentine that I came across!!! 

Sunny Ramadhin (L) and Alf Valentine (R) what a SPIN COMBO to decimate opposition!!! 

when I heard Valentine day, first time, when I was in TOKYO Feb 14th 1999!! Man what a ripper and clownish way to express love relations!!! I tell you!!!! 

As I blogged yesterday, Glad SC gave out Guilty verdict and endorsed trial court verdict of Justice D'Cunha! I am glad this BLACK SWAN

event in Indian judicial system is welcome! But would it change things!! I don't think so! System is far far corrupt, manipulated that clean up would take decades well past our life time! I am glad judges have Stripped JJ and Sashi and exposed their intent to mint money!

What is shocking is Stupid TN folks celebrating this judgement while 2 year back they cried and committed suicide on the same judgement!

Kid Cries 2014, Keep your Cauvery River, Give back Jayalalitha from Karnataka Prison!! hahah! Assholes today celebrating like MAD!! MAN I TELL YOU!!

Jesus Delivers!!!! Sasi Eat Gruel !!!

On 28th SEP 2014, (The day after JJ Verdict)I went to Church near home lit candle for God in Jesus form making Judge Michael Cunha giving landmark judgement! People shouldn't forget now,Jaya is a proved convict taken away by death!!! I am glad Justice system works like Oasis!! Few rare success!!! Would it solve TN Issues?? I doubt!!

Meet Michael Cunha what a man!! Stood his ground and delivered a landmark Judgement!! May his tribe grow!! Shame that 1% Judges are like him! I am glad SC heaped praise on him today!! Well done judge!!!

Lalitha's cell phone has not stopped ringing since 1040am when my father in law called her to convey the news of Sasi being ripped!! heheh! I have never seen Lalitha been so excited! Manargudi Gang worse than Sicilian Mafia so anger natural!!

Headspin, TMSIDK, Music long way!

Today judgement in Supreme court on disproportionate asset case the scenarios that may come out are head spinning! only 1/7 is a game over! This too after 21 years of lingering!! Shows how much judicial system is loaded against for good or bad as well as how by paying money you can buy judgement be even at High court! Churchill was right! Indians cant self Govern!! 

Just because wrapper is attached to Choclate no one eats the paper!! Same is Sasi with JJ!!! Apt sent by my classmate! 

From this week I look forward to hearing episodes of "Tell Me Something, I Dont know"!! Great show on participants and panel letting know things we dont know! very Intriguing 45 minutes to spend!! 

While I dont track much of Music happening post my college days of mid 1980s,it was interesting to read that this year Grammy awards for new artist has gone to a guy (Chance the Rapper)  who is releasing his songs through Media Stream without any formal arrangements without selling a single physical copy. He earning thro sponsors and product launch/tour! Music has come a long long way!!! Where it would go further???!! Further on music, it was sad news of Al Jarreau passing away!  Take Five 40 years back was a master class!! still rings!! Also this week is Retirement of Aretha Franklin the Heart of exciting music! 

Have a good day, Take it easy, take care!
