Party in JWM एप्रिल 27, 2007

Today we completed 1 successful year in business. My office began its operation in India last year in April 15 th. So in April 27th this year we are having a lunch-buffet party for our first anniversary.
Last year for its operation to began we had a opening ceremony attended by all the CEOs and hi-fis from the biz world for the inauguration ceremony. The inauguration took place in Indian and Japanese way since the company is Japanese based. In morning we had vaastu shanty,laxmin pujan and navgrah shanty and chopdi pujan for the good business and in evening we had a Japanese style opening ceremony by sakhe barrel breaking which consist of white rice beer filled in wooden drums and we have to open the barrel with a hammer. Then this wine is served to all the people as Prasad. This ceremony was followed by grand dance party and dinner in intercontinental grand….
This year on completion of successful one year in biz our MD decided we go in for lunch party in a grand hotel so as to treat the family… we decided on 3 hotels which are considered as the best hotel in aamchi Mumbai….ITC, the grand Maratha Sheraton, the Hyatt and JW Marriott… Our HR manager must be surely having good patio skills He zeroed in JW Marriott.
The ambience of the hotel is good, they have good valet parking facility…the hotel entrance is good and huge decorated in Egyptian style with the mummies standing tall and colusseum in front of every cafeteria. The café lotus is huge and spacious. The sitting arrangement is made up of cane furnishing and glass overlooking the pool and lotus ponds. However he cane furniture is decorated with heavy mattress which makes the chairs very heavy to move.
Since Konkani festival is going on in JW Marriott, coastal food and other non veg items are serves as per the Konkani style which blends all the spices and tender coconut milk in every delicacy. To begin with the soup both veg and non veg varieties were avail able I guess I had a veg soup which was American vegetable soup with garlic dashes.. too heavy on garlic but very palatable.
Followed by it was the starter s which had varied varieties of deliciously looking food which had parsleys, several types of salads out of which a honey combed baby corn salad was awesome, several kind of pastas cooked in different styles, various kinds of salad dressings, chutneys, pickles etc. The main course had rice cooked in 3 different style, several kind of Punjabi style vegetables with different kinds of Indian breads.
The most amazing was the Italian counter which severed the best pizza in the market.. I think JWs pizza beats pizza hut pizza) I had toppings of olives, bell pepper, mushroom, onions and garlic on thinnest cheese ccrust.. the pizza was baked in front of me with the thinnest layer [possible.. mind you I have never had finished a whole pizza in my life but it was the first time I finished a whole pizza.. and still wanting more.. The pizza counters served more of authentic Italian pastas which looked good but are never palatable for Indian tongues. Though I just checked out the Italian dish made out f potato, tomatoes, spinach and sauces.. it was good…
JW has best dessert counter at least that’s what I heard.. And Lo!!!!! They served more than 25 kinds of desserts they had strawberry cakes, jelly’s, cheese cakes, fruit ice-cream, tarts , mousse, jelly’s cakes pancakes etc etc the list is endless. One can have a delightfull lunch/dinner only with the JWs dessert section.. I had to taste all the dessert that were available including my favorite black currant ice cream with rasins…

Last but not the least JW sponsored us the first anniversary cake for our celebration. In all it was a nice experience for a luncheon with soft piano playing by….

Walmart has everything!!! एप्रिल 26, 2007

One day, in line at the company cafeteria,

Joe says to Mike behind him,”My elbow hurts like hell. I guess I’d better see a doctor.”

“Listen, you don’t have to spend that kind of money,” Mike replies.

“There’s a diagnostic computer down at Wal-Mart. Just give it a urine sample and the computer will tell you what’s wrong and what to do about it.

It takes ten seconds and costs ten dollars . . . A lot cheaper than a doctor.”

So, Joe deposits a urine sample in a small jar and takes it to Wal-Mart.
He deposits ten dollars, and the computer lights up and asks for the urine sample.

He pours the sample into the slot and waits.

Ten seconds later, the computer ejects a printout:”You have tennis elbow. Soak your arm in warm water and avoid heavy activity. It will improve in two weeks.

Thank you for shopping at Wal-Mart.”

That evening, while thinking how amazing this new technology was, Joe began wondering if the computer could be fooled.

He mixed some tap water, a stool sample from his dog, urine samples from his wife and daughter, and a sperm sample for good measure.

Joe hurries back to Wal-Mart, eager to check the results. He depositsten dollars, pours in his concoction, and awaits the results.The computer prints the following:

1. Your tap water is too hard. Get a water softener. (Aisle 9)

2. Your dog has ringworm. Bathe him with anti-fungal shampoo. (Aisle 7)

3. Your daughter has a cocaine habit. Get her into rehab.

4. Your wife is pregnant. Twins. They aren’t yours. Get a lawyer.

5 If you don’t stop playing with yourself, your elbow will never get better!

Thank you for shopping @ Wal-Mart!!!!

PETA where are you? एप्रिल 11, 2007

Life is cruel for whose who are unable to let their voice out…
yes i am talking about the poor helpless and the speechless animals right here in aamcha maharashtra…Lots have been said and done about me marathi and my culture but do we seriously look at the drawbacks of our own culture ???????????????
Look at the case for animal killing in hingoli district in maharashtra. A local goddess is havinga navratri festival in mid season of march for nine days. It is the mother goddess of shepherd community in mhaharashtra. Throngs of families join in to offer their offering and get blessing from the mpother.
Any idea what these offerings are…? Live animals be it cows, buffalos, sheeps, hens etc. these are buried alive in front of the open ground of the temple. After they die of suffocation the ground is opened and the dead animals are removed and thier blood is sprinkled all over the stairs of the temple. Only then one can enter int o temple with their feet stained with some poor helpless animals blood…..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
What kind of offering is this? GOD will never ask to kill anyone just to please him afterall its his own creation. Will any mother be happy to kill her own child and bless the other??????????????

I still want to ask PETA who is very much active in city is your plan of actions only limited to City?

ladies cant even get over their shopping spree…
Even while travelling by the local train be in vendors selling earrings, hankerchiefs, vegatables, food items etc they are interested in everything.
Nowadays in the first class compartment the vendors selling mobile covers, signal catcher, mini torch lights are a common sight. Today morning i saw a vendor selling books.
One book is a simple mystery nove by Sidney SHeldon called the “Memories of midnight”. The paperback promises ultimate game of hate, love ,lust, compassion and tragedy.
While the other book is ” in the line of fire” by president pervez musharaf. It is the auto biography of the president. his reasons for bringing in the military into the country, his counter attacks on afghanistan and India and moreever his tated friendship with USA….

Mor elater when i finish this bookk….
