Am proud to be an Indian….

As long as DUDES such as Manmohan Singh continue to exist…

this is by far the best speech delivered by an Indian politician…
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/3265909.cms

“…I have often said that I am a politician by accident. I have held many diverse responsibilities. I have been a teacher, I have been an official of the Government of India, I have been a member of this greatest of Parliaments, but I have never forgotten my life as a young boy in a distant village.

Every day that I have been Prime Minister of India I have tried to remember that the first ten years of my life were spent in a village with no drinking water supply, no electricity, no hospital, no roads and nothing that we today associate with modern living. I had to walk miles to school, I had to study in the dim light of a kerosene oil lamp. This nation gave me the opportunity to ensure that such would not be the life of our children in the foreseeable future.

Sir, my conscience is clear that on every day that I have occupied this high office, I have tried to fulfill the dream of that young boy from that distant village…

This is it….

This makes me happy…very very happy…

Circulate…share..post…blog…do whatever…let the world know that I have clicked this…! :)

Well…comments plz…before anything else…

The Purest Form of Art

Since writing on the walls is done neither for critical acclaim, nor financial rewards…it remains the purest form of art

discuss

Physical and Digital Books

While I wander in the streets of NY…hunting for a building less than 5 storeys high…here is a fantastic quote i read this morning…

“People loved their horses, too. But you don’t keep riding your horse to work just because you love it.”
–Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos on the difference between physical books and digital ones

Take care…will see you soon..

PS: Am approaching 1000 snaps on this trip…and am awesomely excited to see all of them..!

Update and appeal

Actually…let me begin with the appeal(s)…

1. I appeal to all the thousands of visitors to my blog…averaging 23 in number per day…out of which 19 spend 0.00 minutes on the blog…plz forgive me for not being regular with the blog…!
PS: The facts above are real…but am surprised…how can anyone measure the time as 0.00…?? i mean..am sure it takes atleast a second for people to realize that they are in shit…right…? Its like…someone intends to tell me that the time taken from the enter button to the top right button on the window takes less than a second..! Darn…thats depressing…

2. Can airlines please come up with a weekly magazine…reading the same thing 8 times a month is no fun..trust me.

3. Can vijay mallya please concentrate on improving the food on kingfisher…rather than blasting 11 individuals who have been running 23 km marathons for all their life…for not winning the 100mtr sprint..!

4. Can aaj tak please read the business description under which it is listed…! Last I checked it was meant to be a NEWS channel

5. and finally…can i please appeal to myself for not writing crap…even if it happens only once a month…

Updates – several!

1. www.gaadi.com
Its launched…plz check it out. We all are proud of it…and believe it is one of the strongest products in the car category in the indian space. and lo behold..within a month of its launch…gaadi.com is already India’s No 2 Car website. And I am convinced that we shall be No. 1 by end of the year…!

2. Am off to the US for 2 weeks…business trip. Ruchi is accompanying me…on vacation! Will be in NY..(which i hvnt been to…ever) and it shud be a fantastic photo opportunity. I jst believe that the US holds a lot of potential when it comes to portraits…! So lets see how well I do…really excited. Meeting a whole lot of people whom I hvnt for years…yuuhuuuuu

So well…i will keep writing…hopefully…and will share my pics soon…! Take care everyone…

Mornings with Sunday Part 4

Went to this fantastic place last weekend – Shaheen Bagh. Its a resort about 10 kms off Dehradun…! Beautifully done…quite majestic…and decently affordable. Rooms are available starting 4,500 (all meals included).

If at all you go…make sure you pick up the poolside room. Its somehow the cheapest but the best in terms of location.
For families, pick up the suite in the other cottage. Charges only 5,000 and can accomodate 4 people.

Lovely place to spend 2N/3D..maybe even more if your schedule permits! We spent only a night there…and felt it was a trifle too short…moreso given the drive to the place which can easily stretch to 6.5 hrs from Delhi in peak hours…!

Check out the place..

Shaheen Bagh Apr 08


and do go there…
