Ethics and The Confused Soul

 

These days, ethics may not play an important role in our world but you can't blame people randomly for being unethical. Ethics, according to me, is a relative term, as every person has a different perspective and almost all of them are confused!

From Social Evils to Social Imps

I was browsing through the news in my cocoon of apparent security when I came across this:

The word 'pathetic' was imprinted across my brain, in bold.

A Quest for the Elusive Grail

 

An urban quest for an elusive restaurant fills me up with the zeal to be determined in life. Weird, huh? It's just the tip of the iceberg. Bank on it.

India Calling

Here's another article from the author of "Honour Killings". Call centers do look like an easy way to fast cash but knowing it inside out requires a first-hand experience. So here's more, from the fingers of an ex-cce (call center employee).

Shots of Humour

Humour : a word which almost the whole world is familiar with. Something that is funny to one person may not be so for someone else. I bet we've all been in the situation when you crack a joke while in a group, and everyone turns to you and just keeps staring, as if you're their next meal.

The Mechanic Who Did Too Much

A very efficient hit man teams up with a not-so-efficient apprentice, to give us a one and a half hour adrenaline driven lukewarm thriller.

Traffic in Chennai (or The Killer Brigade)

 

Hmm... I'm sure the Chennaites who read this won't agree (word used in the sweetest sense possible) with me; but the traffic in this city makes me want to get hit by traffic in Kolkata, which would be a lot less painful.

V Day

Here I am, back from a road trip, to capture the spirit of this rather unusual day.

Smart!

They do know what to say to customers!

A Joke in the Name of "Customer Care"

 

The "customer care", as the companies term the "no service" division nowadays, has bugged many a soul.

The infamous "your call is important to us, please stay on the line" has taken all of us on a ride at some point of time, at least once. If the call is so important, why don't you pick up the call, damn it!

A friend of mine went to the customer relationship center and asked about mobile number portability. He had already asked about the time it would take for the whole process to be completed, and that was about 7 days. When he asked at the center, the answer he got was VERY different. 20 days is a big deal, at least to us, if not for those agents.

So, when you want to inquire about something, it would be better to go to the recharge shop than call the customer care!

Note:- Didn't put a lot of time into this post!

On Campus Vs. Off Campus Vs. Home

From the author that brought us "Honour Killings", here's more. It'll probably help you out too, to make up your mind. Happy reading....

The True Pal

There always is that one person with whom you can share everything that comes to your mind. He/she may not necessarily be akin to you, or even have a similar personality.

Second Life

You may as well have guessed what I'm going to write about this time.

Bringing Down The Bar-----Attention Seeking

 

Hmmmm........ Social conduct..... Keeping it clean is not very difficult; but with the advent of compulsive attention-seekers, the world has become sheer ugly. Well, at least the environment I live in, has.

Freak on a Leash

A serious topic for today.

Chasing Assets (or, A Different Kind of Desperado)

How do people become desperate, anyway?

Downfall of Support

 

Maintaining a backing, or support, for yourself is a tricky concept.You cannot promise much if you want to remain true to yourself, and on the other hand, you cannot say, "Choose me, and then we'll see if I can do anything." Maintaining a balance between these two extreme possibilities is not just anyone's cup of tea, which is what brings down the stronghold of even the most successful of individuals or parties.

Honour Killings

This is a blog post by a friend of mine, and frankly, I find it quite relevant to today's worrying world. Find out the lighter side of honour killings!

Anger and Flying Hands

 

A lot of perseverance has to go in to control your anger.Otherwise,your popularity quotient becomes as low as a deep trench (pardon the analogy!).

Anger is just one of the emotions which comes to us naturally;but with a little help from the human brain (which differentiates us from the lower primates:monkeys,apes and baboons),it can be curbed to quite an extent.

"What's your problem,huh?"

There's a thin line between being a sport and blowing your top when sarcasm or just plain humour is directed at you.That line is,I found out today,five prods at one's complex.
