Happiness and Corporate Governance



Mo ko kahan dhoonde re bande...
Mein to tere paas mein...

Na teerath mein na moorath mein ...
Na ekant nivas mein...


We just need to look inwards to find and realise our innate desires. The only caveat being the fact that you may find what you "need" and not what you "want". If I were to keep other happy through my words and actions, I would want to keep myself content and satisfied at the first place. One's embodiment of hope is not the world's obligation; in fact it is to do with shelving one's egotism and eccentricities.

The world misconstrues itself in glorified ways...

What i saw today makes me skeptical about the cynic and astute outpourings regarding the measures to improve corporate governance in India. I found that one of India's leading companies is writing off its impairment to assets through balance sheets rather than bringing it to the profit and loss account. I strongly feel that the firm should deduct the amount from its net profit but in ground reality, it deducts the amount from the share premium reserve. To surmise, the loss is not reflected in the bottomline and cataclysmic accounting sleights will be used to the hilt by corporates in botox their numbers.
I guess given the current economic downturn, organizations will certainly put one across and get away without disclosing their actual positions.

Long live gulling... We all do it in forward-looking ways

As things would have it, the three protagonists (in the pic) are reasonably happy at these times.... Reasons may vary... expressions may vary too... but extent of enrapture remains...the SAME

1:11 or 11:11

Its an extremely strange observation but I am seeing a lot of ones these days.. whenever i throw a glance on my mobile or the laptop, it usually reads 1:11 or 11:11. And its almost the tenth consecutive day since it all started. These times strike the clock four times a day and I have been encountering them atleast three times (On Sunday the count was four).

Wonder what future has in the entrenched in its dictates, wonder what it takes....


Having said that, I cannot help but muse that I am surrounded by a lot of considerate and benevolent forces. The maturity quotient is witnessing an exponential rise with every passing day. Thanks to a wonderful coterie of individuals surrounding me and also to the one who supports me in absentia.

I scored 155 in the bowling alley on Sunday. I would regard this as one of my greatest performances just that the greatest performance comes in the game I know the least.
One last thing,it is heartening to see them blushing their way to unison

God effectuated emotions, experiences, feelings, states and attitudes. And then he created love...

The Important link goes missing


I was left wondering... I was left in the lurch

I was left in the dark... I was left in my search...

For my fault, my short-comings, my pretence

For my mistakes, for my presentiments. my continued quest for defence

On the ground with a THUD...

Addiction is Bad!!! No matter what is the subject of addiction.

I seem to be getting back to the old ways of discommoding myself. I should have never expected so much from today's visit. It may sound dramatic but it is heartbreaking. Once I start to feel so, the multiplier effect takes centre-stage and every event would appear to be condescending. It may be unprecendented, but even a disc is not able to lift my diluted spirits.

As Radish rightly pointed out, there will be a stage of dedicated detachment and it is all about knowing the coordinates of the end points along with the slope of the fine line, which must be drawn to differentiate the unwanted from the needed.

Am hearing a lot of Gulal and Mohammad Rafi among others. Piyush Mishra rocks with O re Duniya and Aarambh. I look for energetic vibes within tracks and these two are bewilderingly packed with motivational verses.

Yeh Duniya agar Mil bhi Jaaye, tho KYA hain?

Thank you SS


You sent an extremely touching message today.

I was thinking about it while stirring the sugar in my milk in office today. Here comes my retort - " Sometimes we struggle through the bland coffee to the last dip, ONLY to discover sugar crystals prevaricating at the bottom of the cup.

That LIFE for most of us... Sweetened but not Stirred well !!! "

PS : Could have messaged, but I guess you will prefer it this way. I am sure I stir things quite well so that the exhilaration and the vehemence are well adjusted.

Sorry my dear friend... i know you are in trouble and i could decipher your veneration, but Alas some glasses break even before they are moulded.... I am struck and the unusual tactile sensations have given way and I am seemingly incapable of stitching those patches of misery.... but God be with you dost! And your Karma will surely result in better times ahead...

The worst part is that you have an idiot for company who just wants to potray to the world that he is a victim of its windings. You are a definite winner because not only you carry yourself with grace, also because of the fact that you also manage a non-starter

Strengthening the unstrengthened is best anecdotal trait of the impregnable
