About the Business Plan....

I am a big follower of Scott (of Dilbert fame), when it comes to the corporate reality!
Here is his definition about the Business Plan -

"
Somewhere in between the hallucinations of senior management and cold market reality, there is a concept of creating something called Business Plan.

Following are the steps of Execution when it comes to create/maintain a business plan -
1. Gather Information.
2. Forget It.

"

How true!
I remember my first business trip wherein I was asked if I had come with a business plan! Its absence caused a lot of escalations, and I spent about a few hours wasting to prepare this celestial thing!

But after we prepared a big-bang plan theory, and delivered it to the higher management with "Business Plan" in the subject line of the e-mail, everything and everyone calmed down. I was just moving my mails to backup, when I suddenly realized that THERE WAS NO ATTACHMENT in this mail.

I was just a beginner then, now I know it takes a while for people to learn! I know now how to create Business Plans in a jiffy!

The Most Redundant chat question!

Every time someone pings you and wishes to initiate the chat, there is a 9999999999999% assurance that he will start the conversation (after the 'hi' lingo trademark ofcourse), with any one of the three questions -

1. howz life...
2. wassup these days.. OR wassup dude!
3. kya haal hai...


These are the only three questions governing the chat universe, by which any conversation can be started, no matter when the person last had a chat with you - be it yesterday, be it yesteryear!

In fact, everyone from a stranger to the person you know most, opens up the conversation this way!

Also, I fail to understand the use of additional periods (or dots - ...) being used after each sentence. Does that specifically represent something? Or are they just for mere emphasis? How is "ok" different from "ok...." anyways?

As an attempt to save some of my time, I saved the following piece of line in a text file, so that my each conversation starts with the same response to the same set of question; and it starts with what I do the best - COPY/PASTE!

"bas chal raha hai job..
aaj thoda kaam hai..
isliye ruka hua hun late..
pak gaye hai kaam se..
blah blah blah!"

The Ending:
=========

I am still working on studying the pattern of this part. However, I seem to have had some success on this part too. On a majority scale, it seems to be the following template -

"Sorry Gotta Go...
// Any Dumb Reason here!
tc..gn..sd..cya..bbye..."

The last line "tc..gn..sd..cya..bbye..." seems to have become a collection of abbreviations, which is in need of an abbreviation itself! I wonder who is responsible for describing the new set of abbreviations.

Can any one help?
OR
Are you of the kind who thinks I need some serious help myself, blogging something as stupid as this?

Idea for the perfect Card!

With all the friends all around suddenly disappearing/departing from the bachelor community, I am seeing many wedding invitations these days. However, my post does not express these poor people’s pity, or loss of bachelor community, but the focus is on the Wedding Invitation Cards!

So, it all had started with writing with nibs/ink-pots on the leaves, and may be delivering by pigeons.

Then came a Revolution!

Leaves got replaced by Printing press papers, and pigeons by postman J

Ok, I might sound a bit too exaggerating, but at least we had a system, where in we print the invites and personally invite everyone from the community.

Then came another Revolution – Computers and e-mail!

So, the wise pot heads started scanning/creating the wedding invites, and sending them on e-mail to family and friends.
What would be next? Fusion of the past and future, I suppose!

What devilish idea do I have in here, wanna know? No one ever wants to use/implement it, but yet I know everyone around wants to know how childish it sounds J

So here’s the next formula –

It would be interesting to see the couple on a pleasant evening, getting together, and doing something (if not painting) with the colors on the canvas!

This is something authentic, I would say – Couples personally penning down in the brightest colors, to invite you to an occasion which matters them the most!

Now, comes the devilish idea from an ITian jughead –

Scan this original invite, and write a shell-script/program which sends an auto generated mail of this original masterpiece, being delivered at the friends mailbox!

Sounds a bit too nerdy or geeky, but definitely again it’s something different!
