Sleaze Pleaze..

There's a song by Jay-Z which goes by the title "Can I get to F@#$ You.." which i am sure many of you would have heard. Looking back at the things going on in India, one feels that this song aptly fits the happenings there.

Firstly, there was the MMS scandal which "rocked" the entire billion people country. Whats sad about that was, such kinda things happens in every city everyday, but unfortunately, it came out of the Nation's capital with 2 11 standard students caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. Not too long ago, there was this incident which caught the nation's attention. Few of the President's bodyguards were accused of raping some Swiss people.

Last week, few females in the military were accusing top generals of soliciting sex. There was a scandal in Gurgaon with a female socialite and a Call-centre employee CAUGHT ON TAPE. Currently, doing the rounds are the "Casting Couch" craze which i think has made Shakti Kapoor and Aman Verma absolute scapegoats. Again from the film industry, Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor were caught on tape smooching in a Mumbai Pub.

The point of all these things is what....2 Minutes of Fame, getting revenge (as in the MMS case) or in some cases absolute pleasure.

If you notice, all these news died down a silent death as the Media caught onto something else which was more Masale-dhar than the current Hot Topic.

Shobha De in her column for TOI put in a statement which made so much sense. As entertainment, it's tops. As journalism, it sucks..

End of the day, only one thing come to mind..
Mera Bharat Mahan

So after almost 9 months of working as a temporary employee, my luck eventually helped me get a permanent postition at my company as a Quality Engineer. Not the best job in the world but i am not complaining as i am glad my employer is ready to give me the ever-eluding H1B visa.

Got the news on Thursday March 3rd..More relieved than happy frankly. was waiting for this day eagerly for a long time..Good to see my association with Akron will continue for a bit more time..

Folks back home were extremely pleased. Cant wait to get back home this summer..Been a long hard year for me the past one and this one (the 3 months that has whizzed past all of us..)..cant believe its already Mid-March...Seems only like yesterday when i was chatting with my parents and Kirti on new years eve..

Lot of things have changed around me. But i am glad i have accepted the change and "hung-in-there" for my chance to smile..been thro a torrid time during the past months with possible employers just turning away at the last second citing some reason or the other..But as luck would have it, I am still here fighting another day..
