Losing my religion!!

This article reminded me of something I wrote somewhere a long time ago.

“The trick is to hang on and keep fighting for what you believe in.”

While the article still puts forth a valid point. Given the conditions what would we have done if we were in Google’s shoes. Maybe we would have made the compromise. Maybe we wouldn’t have. But again we have to think as heads of a multi billion dollar company which is answerable to its shareholder. I still dont agree with the choice Google/Yahoo/MSN made but I definitely understand why they made it.

“If you’ve had to swallow a boss’s distasteful diatribe, stick your tongue out at him once you’re safely within a bathroom stall. If you think the company you work for is slimy, do volunteer work that counteracts what it’s done. If you’ve had to accept a lesser salary, keep sending out resumes in hope for a better future.”

The teens have become adults but I sure hope the spark hasn’t died out. And “hope is a good thing. Perhaps the best of things.” 🙂

Yippieeeeee!!

Did two online transactions over the last two days to complete my transformation to an e-shopper.

1. Booked air tickets for a trip home (first use of my new credit card) 🙂

2. Booked a railway ticket for a friend from IRCTC (a government e-comm site and it works surprisingly well) 🙂

Things are so much easier thanks to the internet. No more standing in line to book a railway ticket. No more sweat. No more paying the stupid middle-man. I must say this is one place Lalu Prasad Yadav has done well (Maybe he did nothing for it, but he should get some credit).
