Quite a few times we have companies giving great sermons, this one is different. Just came across and was interesting.
Thanks to the person who shared (reed) and also to the blogger on whose blog I stumbled upon.

We always have a thought that its ok if its Pune or even Karnataka and yesterday it dawned that Tamilnadu could also have its first victim and it turned out that we were not expecting that so easily. If you track that history of the 4-year kid we were caught unawares and finally it was too late as in the case of Rida.
I was surprised by two news reports on NDTV when they had the listing of all the other diseases which are given the go by.
Another was a coverage on the Drought which Prannoy Roy said was going to be worse than Swine Flu if it goes uncared for. It was spine chilling to say the least.
Another interesting aspect of media coverage seems to be panicky with every death being reported with so much urgency and what not. One more why is Swine flu being touted so much, its the like of the AIDS where in the rich and famous are also the victim rather than those at lower levels who are prone to TB or malaria. Or those in Bihar with cerebral malaria being in the sidelines not in the news. Who cares anyway.
We need to caution ourselves to one point that this should not infiltrate into the lower strata because they cannot identify it so easily…now who needs a Nuclear bomb when you can have swine flu imported like this.
The worst part is the headline in Hindu which said: Manmohan to Azad: Speed up Swine flu measures. Atrocious looks like a Headmaster reprimanding his teacher.
In all this I was just thinking if Anbumani Ramadoss could have delivered better. Or was it just a doctor on duty made it for himself.

A smile is a light in the window of the soul indicating the heart is at home…
The WADA post did create a bit of discussion and you can see it here.
Here is a piece on CV and the pitfalls we make. The headline Common CV bloopers you should avoid, makes a nice read.
In one of my teaching assignment on Resume Writing I had asked the students to come with an original resume they have so that we can work during the class. It so happened that everybody started copying from one another and I found a male students’ Sex being female. Well he forgot to change that before he took the printout, as you can see he had copied quite a bit from his friends laptop.
In another workshop we had at an institution for MBAs I could easily identify a set of resume as Hostellers and Day scholars no mark for guessing all had the same formatting…:)

This man caught alive is making a waves for all his antics in the courtroom and what not.
He is media savvy I hope and I think he is getting to read papers in prison atleast from his cell mates and understands what is in for him and how the media is treating him.
How else could you decribe his request for a Rakhi a symbol of brotherhood, the news item specifically states that he did see the Rakhi on the Judges’ wrist too.
Man he is one human longing for some brotherhood…
Hello did you hear me? If you didn’t, please note, we are Indian Cricket players aka BCCI, and we have nothing to do with the WADA terms, in fact we don’t even report to the Government of India. What the heck WADA, what does it mean?
And you want us to tell you our whereabouts, off the ground we have so many work, like shooting ads, being with bollywood babes, and of course sponsor commitment.
Did you say Khel Ratna award, what is that, oh the one the President gives away, which President, sorry, the President of India. Anyways we are an organisation based at Chennai, good old Madras and we have our own accountants and audits duly and well signed by people at the helm. We have a Minister at the Centre Government to take care of all those things, unlike the Hockey players getting late to the airport. Poor chaps what to do, and they still call Hockey the national game of India. It should have been Cricket.
Now, I still don’t see why everybody is trying to advice us on WADA, probably they don’t know what the money power of BCCI could do. We cant be fools like all other teams why I heard even Australia has signed on the dotted lines. Ridiculous on them, and people telling us that its mandatory for all Olympic sport to be a part of the WADA regime.
Well we don’t want to be a part of the WADA or whatever you call it as. We have a rigorous schedule and more so our lives are in danger always. You should have seen that after our exit from T20 World Cup. Our houses are targeted and our effigies are burnt. If we give our whereabouts or whatever it will be easy for the terrorists to be following us.
We have always been the special people in Indian cricket and world cricket and that means a lot of special treatment and it includes us being excluded from WADA whereabouts.
And talk of doping we aren’t the kind of people you know who dope, literally or how would you see so many of us being victims of injuries in our last campaign at T20.
I can give you more reason but above all we are Indian cricketers and we are only obliged to BCCI and no one else. WADA can wait and WADA can leave.
Team India
