American Airlines is not an option

simarprit — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 10:27:48 +0000

Let my miles and status go to hell.

American Airlines is not an option, anymore.

This airline doesn’t value its guests. it doesn’t value commitment of even its Executive Platinum guests.

It has no regard for your priorities.

It is not about an incident, it is about an airlines attitude.

American Airlines is a big fail, and I am the one who would ensure that my voice is heard loud and clear.

Fun is in realizing that “Life” is teaching you all the time, challenge is to ensure that you learn and absorb all those teachings.

There are times…

There are times when people are bound to undermine your sincerity. During those times it is important to tell yourself that they are just trying to equate their own sincerity with yours. Those who doubt your sincerity do that at their own cost and peril. Sincerity must prevail. Always.

The Great Infosys Succession Drama

Hmm… “Mr Murthy will replace current chairman K V Kamath, who will become lead independent director, effective June 1. The current executive co-chairman S. Gopalakrishnan will be re-designated executive vice chairman, while current chief executive officer S.D. Shibulal will remain in his position, Infosys said in a statement on Saturday.” “Mr Murthy has requested the board to appoint his Harvard-educated son, Dr. Rohan Murthy, as his executive assistant for the next five years.” – I am sorry but this sounds hilarious, looks like some people have been working extra hard to accommodate all, sundry and their baggage.

So much for business ethics and leading by example. On record Mr. Murthy (and family) has considerably en-cashed their holdings in Infosys at right time. If only they would have given Mr. Kamath a free hand, Infosys would have been back in the forefront.

You Are My Love

Do you know who you are?

You are my love

You are my life

You are my moon

You are my star

You are my Goddess of Day

You are my Goddess of Night

You are my direction

You are my support

You are the nectar of my life

You are the call I am always awaiting

You are my heart

You are my mind

You are My Love

You are the mornings I wake up to…

You are the evenings I unwind too

You are the bird whose music I hear while asleep

You are the flower I have been seeking

You are the petals I have been keeping on my eyes

You are the life who has changed my life

You are the one who has taken my life by storm

I don’t want this storm to ever ebb

I don’t want these petals to dry

I don’t want this fragrance to ever evaporate

I don’t want your memories to ever fade

I don’t want your thoughts to ever cease in my mind

I don’t want any other God in my life

I don’t want to wake up from this dream called you

I don’t want my addiction for you to ever go

I don’t want my hunger for you to ever subside

I don’t want these paths to be ever covered by me

I don’t want this fire inside me for you to ever extinguish

I don’t ever want to know secrets of my love for you

I don’t ever want to know why I love you so madly

I don’t want a sound sleep, I need you in my dreams

I don’t want this world, I just want you

I don’t want any possessions, I just want you

You give me a place in your heart, that is the only possession I seek

You are my song of life, I just want to keep singing it

You are my love

You are my life.

Can I negotiate…

Can I negotiate with death, can it be mutually done, can it be other than grabbing me and dragging me along, against my wish. It is one of those days when death is on top of my mind. Am I going to die, or is it HIS way of telling me to close my ends, or is it that someone close to me won’t be around after a while?

Life is always …

simarprit — Fri, 31 May 2013 19:45:54 +0000

Life is always a string of open ended issues. When I know I am going to die, it would be wise enough to close all open ends. There has to be a ring of comfort surrounding my body when I am put to rest, that one final time. Wise folks plan their exits as carefully as they plan anything else about their life. It is their final event. Am I wise enough?

Death has no ad…

simarprit — Fri, 31 May 2013 19:40:57 +0000

Death has no address, once I die I can’t be told of what all I messed up. I would have no window to correct my mistakes or make up for them. It is the follies and mistakes which need to be reduced. Lower the error rate during my existence, more at ease would be my existence, they are perfectly inversely related to each other.

Good Afternoon. It took us, as an organization, over 3 years to decode how Facebook can be used economically and effectively, we got lot of flak from friends and foes alike for our delayed start. We were all very anxious on November 30, 2012, when we as an organization awaited rolling out of our first project to push Mapsofindia.com’s Facebook community to 100,000 likes within a month. From 1,200 to 100,000 in one month and 1 million in first year. 6 months down the lane numbers are very impressive.
http://facebook.com/mapsofindia stands at 600,000 +
http://facebook.com/valentinesdayinindia is at 200,000 +
http://facebook.com/travel.mapsofworld is at 100,000 +
http://facebook.com/mydearvalentinecom is at 95,000 +
and
http://facebook.com/mapxl is at 45,000 +
Building each of these super engaging communities has been a fantastic experience, fun and learning, both. The way our plans for each of these communities are unfolding assures us that most of these would remain most dynamic communities in their respective segments.
The expertise we have developed is available on tap to all my friends, of course, FOC. I am also looking at a few of you helping us put a V8 engine on our MapXL community. It is very engaging, but growing it while remaining super engaging opens up some challenges. If you have ideas, I am here to thank you from my heart and to top it, all of us would give you a standing ovation.

We also have a few openings in office of subsidiary in San Jose.

Cities we are looking for: NYC, Philadelphia, Miami, Phoenix, Houston, Dallas, Vegas, LA, San Diego, Seattle, Chicago. We have closed position for Bay Area.

When I think of…

simarprit — Fri, 24 May 2013 09:04:02 +0000

When I think of you, I smile, my eyes shine and my hands feel you. When I think of you, I see you, my arms embrace you and our lips meet. When I think of you, I think about your life, my life and our life. Love you!
