Cheer up..go for beer up....




Her butt is on fire. She can't take off. Her wings are clipped .She is  grounded .She is off  her strip. Her charms can no more woo the customers .This birdee is bidding time, hanging around the hangers. This is the plight of this Kingfisher ....The man who owns  her is a  taste bud for all the finest  thing in life. He is one of the famed 'bird watching' enthusiast of  par excellence. He knows she is the most colorful of  the Boeing...Boeing tribe...

At 27 inheriting an empire of corporate wealth from his father Vittal Mallya.....he remained on the fast track, that earned him not only a playboy reputation but also got him a tycoon tag. He owns 2 corporate jets,one personalized Boeing 727 ,a collection of Vintage cars, 2 Yachts, and scores of homes and mansions around the world. His personal fortune is around $1.5 billion. His flagship company UB...brews the finest Beer.....that keeps all of us chirpy and cheerful all through the summer weekends. He is a corporate czar . He is a great social  bartender.He has perfected the  art of selling a  right mix of lifestyle to everyone from Politicians to Bankers and from Bureaucrats to Technocrats . No doubt  his proximity to Politicians, Bankers and Bollywood always remain on  a 'touch screen' mode. ..

Today his Account with most of the leading Banks have become a non-performing asset. His debt woes are deeper than visible.His debtors all over are busy reviewing and discussing strategies  to salvage their debts before it turns bad.  However all this does't  lessen his spirit to sore high and touch the sky. For him living good life is living life king size and  he is in no mood to give this up.The authorities may be looking for him but that does't dampen his spirit and search... for his ..2013...calender girls

 This year's ID, DIWALI and  CHRISTMAS may remain dry and cheerless for  his workforce at Kingfisher Airlines,  but that does't leave him  spirit-less . He is right now in top gear cheering-up his "FORCE INDIA" at the F-1 tracks. However it does't make him a bad employer....he loves his workforce as much as he loves his beer.. That's Vijay Mallya for you.....saying sorry to his 4000 salary less employees...

In conversation with Bapu....

With 'Sare Jahan Se Achcha' and 'Abide with Me'the Soul-stirring martial tunes and solemn drum beats at the majestic Raisina Hills the "Beating the Retreat" ceremony marked the conclusion of the week long ceremonial functions of India celebrating her 62nd year of Republic.As the illumination lit up the edifices of Imperial India..my thought reached out to that day into the history of independence that finally dropped the curtain on a life called "Gandhi"...the man whose experiment with truth may not have jelled with today but his name has truly become the brand that remain most misused & manipulated both in trade & politics.As I key-in these lines I can read out the conversation that would have transpired between the "soul of Nation" (SON) and "Mahatma Gandhi"(Bapu)....Read on what I read..... SON: Bapu it's me,are you sleeping....? BAPU: How can you ask that...don't you know this day in the year 1948..I was gu...

But 'PAPU' Can "Vote"...'Sala'..!

"Sala".. is a generally accepted slang for both 'hum' the "Hindustani" and 'tum' the "Indian". Together this "HUM TUM" make the "Aam Admi"of the world's largest 'democracy'. This is our "INDIA".I agree with the TV ad that almost says "My India Strongest" in spite of the "Everest" of issues that surround her. Normally in this country the fate of the 'ordinary' people ie 'Aam Admi' always remain woefully harassed, pushed and frustrated through the year. However at the close every 5 years this 'Aam Admi' suddenly become extraordinarily powerful and remain wooed by all 'big,small and sundry' political parties of the country. Yes it is time for General Election. In the coming months for the 15th Lok Sabha, 714 million eligible voters would be 'bee lining' to the ballot boxes across 29 states,6 union territories to elect 543 members . 'Jaago-...

Just about...being a "Father"

A new world greeted them with smile and happiness when they... "Just met" and soon for them the wedding bells rang... Now, they are happily lost in their own world & together are learning to set- up a 'Home’ of their own... away from what was a home for them a little earlier in the year....That's "his" daughter & "his" son in-law. ..Being very adorable, the house has become little less chirpy after her moving out….. …."He" now does feel the boredom...but will never show it off... Because "he" is the father ...and expected to put on a stern face & always remain a 'matter of fact' person..... He is all set to explore & build-up a learning curve that may see him well in life in about a couple of years from now. After his graduation he may probably start living away from home in a distant land in pursuit of excellence...That's "His" son Being the darling of the house, "he" is...
