quite funny…thanks moukes for sending this…
shall we head back to my place
most common facebook names
TechCrunch had an interesting article today on the most common facebook names.
Now, its a given fact that facebook is not the most promiment social networks in India…because unlike orkut…stricking a conversation with random people is much harder than simply going to orkut and suggesting…”hi sweetie…i want to make friendships with you…do you me???”! And india is all about randomness…its unbelievable how much time people have here…! I can bet my iphone on the fact that the best business in this country is to supply popcorn and pepsi to onlookers after an accident has taken place…or better still…if some equally random people are having a fight on the streets…
anyways…so back to the most common facebook names. FB is big in the US…so naturally you would expect the johns and johhnys and michaels to rule this list. So I couldnt see any Indian name in the 100 most common first names on facebook
the last name list though was interesting…! My fellow indians…hold your breath…cause this list did have Indian last names..! not one…but several…! HOWEVER, the one topping list is….tara rum pum…lalalala….SINGH. Ranked 21. All these bloody gadhe log that have survived on sardar jokes through their childhood…(and khushwant singh…who still continues to at the age of 153)…go take a leak. Cause if the singhs can friggin understand facebook…spread the word around…and get other singhs to join…and not just that but become the top ranked indian last name on facebook…then dude…they are not the same sardars on which the jokes were made…!!
i would have expected the sharmas/kumars/patels/jains…but they are ranked much lower…!
the most common full names list was dissapointing though…! will the real rohit sharma please stand up…! or amit gupta? or ashok kumar? make your presence felt…dont waste time making friendships…orkut is over…!!
i will be really interested to see corresponding results for orkut…especially for females. well…neha is definitely up there…but rani might be stiff competition…and hey…pooja…?
how to be happy…
in my years of searching for the answers…the multiple visits to the himalays…and the painful one-leg tapasya…and being distracted by that urvashi babe….i havent come across something as simplistic as this…

moved…
…after dilly dallying for some 6 months…i finally got myself to move to my new base. alienwan.blogspot.com is no longer being updated…(well this is news from Jan…!) and ankurwarikoo.com will hereby act as the personal webpage of Sharad Pawar…!
LOTS has happened since i last wrote…the biggest being my move into full-time entrepreneurship…! note the use of “full-time” which indicates that at some point of time in my life i was a part-time entrepreneur…which is equalivalent to being Amitabh Bachchan without the voice and the height! basically its just the name…!
the last 3 years at Kearney were awesome…but i think there couldnt be a better time to move. i had learnt a lot…worked with some fantastic people…(most with an IQ 200% times more than mine)…met with the biggest names in Indian corporate world…had a brilliant time moving around the world…which constitutes 2 main countries in my globe…UAE and US…
but things were moving real fast at Accentium…and new products are being launched…! i think i am justifying my full-time existence in the firm…but there is so much more to look forward to…! exciting times
we are launching the education portal this week. StudyTimes.com! we all are looking keenly towards it…and have big expectations…the next few months will show us how these expectations stand against reality
About ankurwarikoo.com
there will be my usual rants…people who have been to alienwan know how much gargabe i am capable of…! but am also excited about sharing my snaps through the site…and getting feedback. in addition to sharing my experiences as an extrepreneur…
hope you enjoy your time here…

Top 10 Things To Do In Bali
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…
