Burglars replace ipod with tarantula egg

-




The seventh floor penthouse of The Embassy Boulevard apartment on Race Course Road of Malgudi was burgled when the owners Mr. and Mrs. Gandhi were celebrating a birthday party of their 7 year old son (Manmohan) in a nearby MacDonald outlet. Mr. Gandhi later told our correspondent “I never leave the house empty, but since advanced surveillance cameras were installed, I asked the house attendant to accompany us to the birthday bash”. Considering this a serious breach of security in a highly protected part of the city, the best officer of the state CID, Mr. Chidambaram was rushed to the spot. The self composed policeman in his articulate manner stressed on the fact whoever might the criminals be he would outsmart them. But what startled the smartest cop was the fact that the notorious criminal had only stolen an ipod without touching any other valuables and replacing them with tarantula eggs, which are not only more expensive but also unavailable in this country.

Lockheed Martin ups the game by appointing Indian CEO

-
Lockheed Martin is in the process of wooing the Indian government to buy the F16 Block 70 jets for the IAF. India has a similar offer from Swedish company SAAB. Their 4++ generation fighter Gripen E has better radar. But Lockheed has appointed Mr Laal, who headed General Atomics, and supplied the guardian drones to India. The IAF is also buying GE engines for LCA Tejas. There are also talks of offering F35 stealth fighter to India, along with F16. They would also shift the production line from Texas to India. All this would make sense if there is critical technology transfer.

No Country for Gentleman's Cricket..or no Gentleman in a country

Cricket as we know it today has reached a stage in its evolution taking a trajectory particularly in the last two decade that most of the followers of the sport could not foresee. It must also be acknowledged as an universal truth that any activity controlled or executed by humans has to reflect the vagaries and social milieu of the human society as a whole. The sport of Cricket is no different to that universal truth. In the world order Socialism and communism has given way to Capitalism or consumerism. Manufacturing based Economy has given way to knowledge economy. Films and Television serials the world over bears ample testimony to that fact. Films like “Good Bye Lenin”, “Wall E” “Inside Job” are examples of it. In India the criminalisation of the post-Industrial economy and worshiping criminals as heroes is reflected in films like the Doom series, Don series etc. The laid back atmosphere of cricket has also given way to maddeningly dynamic t20. The smooth cover drives have given ...

The Day of the Government Exam…

-
Corporate MNC cherry pick candidates and put them in a tournament where being above average would not take you to the next level; you have to be exemplary. And if you learn early (which most people do) that you can never make it to the top you quit the tournament or keep swarming in the bottomless pit. But  if  you can somehow reach the top 5% of the Pyramid you receive 70% of the revenue. This business model is followed by everyone who runs an organisation from the Tata's to Taliban and from McDonalds to Maoists. It's human nature to take part in a tournament where the incentives are visible and high. The lifestyle of the top 5% not only attracts swarming freshers (who constitute 95% of the organization)  but it also keeps their moral high with dreams of someday making it to the top regardless of the modest incentive they  receive.  So you would agree with me why there is a trend for government service where you can supposedly make good money while still ...
