Here we go…

1. All bay area IT companies are essentially desi companies.

2. Desis in US have this noble habit of listening to the voice message before deciding to return the call, even when they are available. And i kinda know the reason as well. Unlike India, here 900 minutes of talk time includes incoming as well outgoing calls. A few days back, when i had a tiff with one of my friends as to why my call goes unanswered, the reply i got was, “you should’ve said the call was very important/emergency”.

Hello, had I been in an emergency i would be calling 911, not you, velakennai!!!

3. If there is one stock you’d like to buy , i’d say ask any teetotaller which alcoholic brand he knows very well and buy that company’s stock.

4. Weekend travel feels tiring when you travel, but weekend idling feels boring when you are sitting alone in your room.

5. You will truly know how lazy you are when you live all alone.

6. Of the 100 ideas that you can think of, 99 of them would’ve been already implemented by somebody, somehow, somewhere.

7. I was listening to tales of how some desis minted money in the bay area during the dot com boom and all i can say is, the H1B system here is as screwed up and abused a system one could find in this whole universe.

8. If you are aspiring to be a scriptwriter, here is a test. Try to come up with a story which has one male character, a car, a truck and vow to keep the audience engaged till the last minute.
This test holds good for a director too. Spielberg did that long time back.

Thats “brammaandam” in my lexicon and in the lexicon of every thinking man!
