Moving Out!!

Bangalore , with its abundance of smart but inexpensive labor, has become one of the hotbeds for the outsourcing industry. Along with New Delhi and Mumbai, the Big Three are a symbol of India's low-cost tech prowess. But Newsweek's Ron Moreau and Sudip Mazumdar say Bangalore's success is turning into a liability. "The city's infrastructure is creaking; citizens face power shortages, maddening traffic jams and poor public transportation." The cost of living has skyrocketed, prompting outsourcing firms to look for even cheaper labor. Among the new targets are Cochin, Jaipur, and Pune. "Some in India are calling these cities 'mini-Bangalores,'" the article says.

Scoop!!

There is a teambuilding game called NASA Game. This game emphasizes the importance of team effort. In that game, a group of six people are stranded on the moon and they have to reach the mother ship. They have about 15 articles among them, and the object of the game is to prioritize the objects. Among the list of items are processed food, 5 gallons of water and pet milk. Can people in space suits eat or drink water while moonwalking? The astronauts have a drink bag filled with water in their space suits so they can drink when they are in space (I have read on the internet that the bag can contain up to 32oz. of water). Since the astronauts do not wear space suits for more than a few hours at a time, I don't think they are designed to allow them to eat.

Women's Choice!!

A store that sells husbands has just opened in Minnesota where a woman may go to choose a husband from among many men. The store is comprised of 6 floors, and the men increase in positive attributes as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch. As you open the door to any floor you may choose a man from that floor, but if you go up a floor, you cannot go back down except to exit the building. So a woman goes to the shopping center to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1 - These men have jobs. The woman reads the sign and says to herself," Well, that's better than my last boyfriend, but I wonder what's further up? " So up she goes. The second floor sign reads: Floor 2 - These men have jobs and love kids. The woman remarks to herself, " That's great, but I wonder what's further up? " And up she goes again. The third floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love kids and are extre

Mallu Networking Power at its best!!

Good old one.. Good nevertheless. Mallu's are known to be everywhere and are known to know everything and everyone (to survive)..... Kuttappan is a mallu...! Kuttappan was bragging to his boss one day, "You know, I know everyone there is to know. Just name someone, anyone, and I know them." Tired of his boasting, his boss called his bluff, " OK, Kuttappan how about Tom Cruise ?" " Sure, yes, Tom and I are old friends, and I can prove it." So Kuttappan and his boss fly out to Hollywood and knock on Tom Cruise's door, and sure enough, Tom Cruise shouts, " Kuttappan! Great to see you! You and your friend come right in and join me for lunch! ". Although impressed, Kuttappan's boss is still skeptical. After they leave Tom Cruise's house, he tells Kuttappan that he thinks Kuttappan's knowing Cruise was just lucky. "No, no, just name anyone else ", Kuttappan says. " President Clinton ," his bo

A SalesMan's Love Letter

Trust in God who's always NOKIA ( connecting people ) who love each other. And do not forget that we

So difficult to understand women !

A man walking along a California beach was deep in prayer. All of a sudden, he said out loud, "Lord grant me one wish." Suddenly the sky clouded above his head and in a booming voice the Lord said, "Because you have TRIED to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish." The man said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over anytime I want." The Lord said, "Your request is very materialistic. Think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take! I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time and think of another wish, a wish you think would honor and glorify me." The man thought about it for a long time. Finally he said, "Lord, I wish that I could understand women. I want to know how they feel inside, what they are thinking when they give me the silent treatment, w

Got an Excuse??

Now with more & more use of the mobile fones, we probably cant say that I forgot to take my mobile, so someone def had to think of a way to overcome that situation of not answering your calls :) I came across this article in New Scientist which tells us exactly how that can be done.... Cell phone software creates bogus backgrounds ----pretending to be stuck in traffic during a mobile phone call could become much easier using software that generates fake background noise ------

The Bacardi Effect!!

The Philadelphia Experiment!!

From Einstein’s uncompleted ‘Unified Field Theory’, the U.S. Navy attempted to make their warships invisible to the enemy by bending light around them using massive magnetic fields. Since light goes in straight lines, what we are really talking about here is bending space and time, which is a fairly common occurrence, but one more usually associated with major planets than naval Destroyers. Eyewitness accounts reported seeing the USS Eldridge disappearing in a haze of green mist whilst being experimented on off the coast of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, during the fall of 1943. The same ship was at the same time, reported by passengers on the SS Andrew Furuseth to appear out of nowhere in dock in Norfolk, Virginia, before springing back to its original place in Philadelphia. Not only did the ship move unexpectedly through space or time, but the sailors onboard experienced continuing dimensional distortions, even after the magnetic field had ended. Sailors apparently regularly ‘

The Connection!!

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846. John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946. Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860. John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960. Both were particularly concerned with civil rights. Both wives lost their children while living in the White House. Both Presidents were shot on a Friday. Both Presidents were shot in the head. Now it gets really weird. Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy. Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln. Both were assassinated by Southerners. Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson. Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808. Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908. John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839. Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939. Both assassins were known by their three names. (Of course, there's a reason for that.) Both names are composed of f
John Jones, the head of the company asked his manager to write a detailed employment review describing Bob Smith, one of his programmers. 1. Bob Smith, my assistant programmer, can always be found 2. hard at work in his cubicle. Bob works independently, without 3. wasting company time talking to colleagues. Bob never 4. thinks twice about assisting fellow employees, and he always 5. finishes given assignments on time. Often Bob takes extended 6. measures to complete his work, sometimes skipping coffee 7. breaks. Bob is a dedicated individual who has absolutely no 8. vanity in spite of his high accomplishments and profound 9. knowledge in his field. I firmly believe that Bob can be 10. classed as a high-caliber employee, the type which cannot be 11. dispensed with. Consequently, I duly recommend that Bob be 12. promoted to executive management, and a proposal will be 13. executed as soon as possible. Signed ...Jim A MEMO WAS SOON SENT, FOLLOWING THE I
Why is there no Nobel Prize in Mathematics? There's an interesting story behind it, which is true. Originally, Alfred Nobel, the founder of the Nobel Prizes, had proposed Nobel Prizes for Math also. It so happened that his wife/girl friend was having an affair with an eminent mathemetician (Gosta Mittag-Leffler) at the time of the announcement of the first Nobel Prizes, and if announced, would definitely have got the Nobel Prize. Mr. Nobel conveniently at the last moment scrapped any Nobel Prizes for Math. Courtesy: Gautam
