Steel and Outsourcing

The steel industry is fortyfying themselves from the spree of hostile/congenial take-overs that are happeneing. Even sabbotaging the moves for a possible Merger and Accquisition. The Arcleor take-over has kickstarted this and Tata Steel is looking at increasing it's current share in the company. Mittal lands in Orissa today to check the possibilities. I guess now everyone including, Nippon, Servestal et al should sit back and think. Instead of fortyfying themselves and going in shell, they might join hands with the fraternity. If you look at Mittal, he is strong in Southern America and far-west part of Europe. Arcelor in the same manner, has stong foothold in Europe. The geographical overlap being minimum, comptetion may not be that cut-throat. The consolidation will result in something more beneficial.
Kudos to HCL for inking the biggest out-sourcing deal to date with some insurance company ( i dont remember the name!). The deal is pegged at approx $700 Million. Huge money!
I fininshed "Veronika decides to die." One of the greatest books I have read. It teaches you how to live life to the fullest. Imagine if someone told you that you are going to die in 4 days. How would you live? Will you care what the society thinks or does of your actions? I wouldnt certainly. You will go where your heart takes you.
I want to contradict what I have written in my last post. It's the other way round, the brain tell you what is correct, but the heart tell you what is right. More often than not, if the correct feels right, the right can never be wrong. So do what your heart says, but not at the cost of your principles.

Love hath arrived....

Well if you are looking for an answer to the question, "what is love?", please hit Crtl+ Alt+Del right now. And I suggest you pick up a Eric Segal or an equivalent Mills and Boon. I don't know what love is. Or rather, I don't what love means to you. The thought here is purely personal. For me love just means happiness of the person you love. Unprejudiced, unbiased. Its easier said than done. Because It's very hard to love someone without judging them for what they are. Think for a moment that love is like a sunrise. Do you possess the sunrise? No. Do you judge it for what it is? No. What you do is just bask in it and feel the brilliance on you. And then feel gratitude for it being in your life. Love is more or less like it. More because it doesn't take place at a certain time of a day. More because it fills your heart with radiance to such a level that you don't want to posses the person you love. More because it shows you twilight before it rises complete...

The Broken Needle

People say I am a funny guy . You guys better be serious about that. :) Since I am funny, I will never take life seriously. I know I will never come out of it alive. Then why bother over split milk, pestering bosses, broken hearts and less yearly bonus? Cursing someone who has put you in that zone is preciously worthless. When will you realize that those people outside are never a problem?They are meant to hate, attract, tempt, gossip and snob. They are people after all. For someone else, you are a part of those "people." The problem is your identification with them. So forget what happened the other night or why she did this and that. If you are not meant to be together you are not meant to be together. Cut your losses and move on. But don't forget to send her the bill. :) Life is more beautiful than someone who doesn't want to be with you. So get up, flirt with the next door girl , wipe somebody's tears, donate some money, ride a bike, click some photos, crack ...
