Jack and Max are walking from religious service. Jack wonders whether it would be all rightto smoke while praying. Max replies, "Why don't you ask the Priest?" So Jack goes up to the Priest and asks,"Father, may I smoke while I pray?" The Priest replies, "No, my son, you may not! That's utter disrespect to our religion." Jack goes back to his friend and tells him what the good Priest told him.

Life can take us on a roller coaster ride full of highs and lows and twists and turns. Even for those of us who enjoy unexpected thrills, it’s frightening to suddenly find ourselves heading for a deep plunge. Yet, it happens to all of us. At these moments, it is important to remember that you are not alone in your experiences. No matter how brave, strong, or levelheaded we are, sometimes, we all

Dream of Flight… In the late 1800s, a well-known bishop was traveling the United States, speaking to religious and academic leaders. At one of his stops, he was invited to have dinner with some prominent leaders. During the dinner he was asked, "What do you think the future holds for us?"

The place is Mumbai Ahmedabad National Highway, once known to be notorious for laying traps for people and looting them.The moment I saw the man and the bike, I slowed down and parked the bike on the end, knowing very well that I may be walking into a trap... but what the heck...

Touch comes to iPod! Introducing the new iPod Touch, 8 & 16 GB At the Mac World expo, Uncle Steve Jobs announced two ‘new’ products. A new version of iPod NANO, that plays Video. This is a neat feature, but considering the fact that iPod NANOs have been a major hit in India, wonder how many Indians would upgrade, but then gain, since when did Apple target Indian customers? Apple has a

I always had a soft spot in my heart for YAMAHA RXZ. This was one bike that I always wanted to own! Unfortunately this bike had a sad ending in India! I always wanted to ride a cruiser, so I bought myself a Avenger 180 last year. Although it’s a neat ride, I am getting myself a RXZ. If all goes well I will get the bike in a good engine condition, but a sad cosmetic condition for around

This is exactly how I feel today!As you might know I have recently resigned from ICICI Bank. I am leaving the bank at a point when the bank has been consistently performing!Also I have performed quite decently (to be modest) with top ratings in back to back years!Theres just one line that my super-super-boss said, that still tinkles in my head....He said to me "You have performed quite well, you

Ok so here I am... again being a confused self....I have recently resigned from ICICI Bank... not that I was not satisfied or anything, but to be frank I have waited 4 years now to learn.... Learning I did, and I did it with style, now I guess its high time I start to earn ;)So now I have two options in hand....1) A small bank with big tech work!2) A big tech-banking company with a lot of Bank

Integrated Marketing Communication! This is a new acronym for IMC…… previously it was….. I am Confused  Jokes apart…. We had a lot of fun in the first few Marketing lectures…… we had a ‘joker’ who supposedly helped us learn about marketing segmentation. Sorry to say, but the professor we had was unbelievably weird! I mean, making everyone sit according to roll numbers is still acceptable, but

Ok for those people who are wondering about why I was referring to some age old events in my 'new' posts. These were new posts, but not new content.

Hi I am Satyen Shivananda Poojary from NMIMS Executive MBA Course Marketing division B. Currently I am working with ICICI Bank limited, for the most-beloved products of all “Credit Cards” (so much for the sarcasm) It’s been quite some time since I have been actually using this combination of “thinking & writing” simultaneously. Perhaps it was in my junior college where this part of my
