aNYa blogs: "Ratan Tata - E&Y entrepreneur 2003
Ratan Tata is India's Ernst & Young entrepreneur of the year 2003. The award is well deserved no doubt. Though I cannot guage why this year? Probably cos the Indica/Indigo is doing so well, and the Tatas are planning exports and everything. Anyways .. thats not the point, today I dont want to talk about the Tatas (no offense). I just want to share a story about another entrepreneur, the biggest of his kind - Dhirubhai Ambani. I have heard a bit of comparison being done between the two. The Tatas somehow command more respect, they 'feel' more aristocratic. That may be to the fact that the Ambanis have never sported the 'clean' tag unlike the Tatas. Reliance has had its share of controversies, more so during the License Raj. On the other hand the Tatas have rarely if ever been involved in anything similar.
I am not belittling the achievement of Dhirubhai mind you. To rise from working at a petrol station in Eden, Yemen to being the chairman of India's largest corporation is dizzying. One of my favourite stories about Dhirubhai is that when he was in Eden. During the 1950s the Yemeni administration discovered that the main unit of its currency, the rial, was disappearing from the market. The administration traced the shortage to Eden, a port in Yemen and found to its surprise that a young Indian in his twenties had placed an unlimited buy order for rials. The rial was a solid silver coin and what this young man did was to simply buy rials, melt them into silver ingots and sell them to bullion dealers in London. This was a profitable venture as the silver in the rial was valued higher by bullion dealers in London. The name of the young man? Dhirubhai Ambani. "

Hey ppl,
Heres a mail that one of the prospective students (Praveen Kumar) to UMBC posted our Yahoogroups ( which includes not less than 40 girls)......ive picked out the golden statements from each one of em........read on its fuckin funny
Hi,
Thanks for the replies(tushar and naresh). I am
really amazed by the speed at which my queries were
answered. As Naresh suggested to get different colored underwears I have already got all black underwears.Also I was actually looking for roomies and I would like to have a roomie who gets undies with color other than black.
And tushar u told me to get 15 underwears and
banians but I think that would be very expensive. I
think I can manage with 8. In the worst case I can
wear it inside out. That is what I usually do when I go on long trips in India. Keep up the good work
seniors !!!
Regards,
Praveen Kumar
On a subsequent email...this is wat he writes....
hi seniors
Pranam thanks for the reply but I was not joking. I really came to know that you can get AIDS if you wear some other peoples underwears.
Now the real part of comming to USA. So just wanted to know what are the places we could go. How is the night life in Baltimore. Are there areas where young boys and girls spend some good time as shown in
movies(you know). i am sure there must be such places and u must have been there.
By the way guys i am a huge fan of BAYWATCH especially Pamella Anderson(u know why). Are there any good beaches in MAryland and if so can EKTA arrange a visit to any beach. I am dying to check out chicks in Bikinis. heheheh... By the way how is crowd in UMBC, I mean the Indian crowd. I am pretty sure you guys have a great time out there. I am dying to socialise as it is pretty difficult to do these things in india.
Praveen.

Yea...It was a terrific experience... "once in a lifetime". Saw God and DC(Coulthard)'s eyes thru their helmets for a split second. The sound is earth shattering. One can hear the sound almost a km away. It is going to ring in my ears for sometime now. Had to buy earplugs:) JPM(Montoya) impressed me the most. He is bound to be the nxt big thing. Absolutely RASH. The way he pushes the throttle...just too good to describe. Was at a location after a hairpin....so cud see cars gearing up from 60Ks to 250Ks.
Managed to get an autograph of Takuma Sato...who featured in the 2002 edition with Jordan....now with BAR-Honda. Took a close snap with the F2000 winning Ferrari Championship model. Also some snaps with the pit-lane babes:)

answering raje's question and more....if u watch the matrix again...u will see that the oracle says to neo - " no son, not in this life maybe in ur next life". the bullet hits him and the no believing part of him is killed...but the believing part gets a new life and that is when he believes in the fact that he is the one. neo is just a computer hacker who has realised that he is the one. being the one is like being a top hacker...infact much more than that. flashback to the scene when morpheus says to neo - the matrix is just a computer program, it works on rules, but u have to remember that just like a computer program these rules can be bended.... some .....can be broken. so neo basically realises the fact that he can break the rules of the matrix because now he "knows" that he is the one.

One possible solution that i read somewhere: The brain does not die immediately when heart and respiration stops. Neo was almost the One, he'd not been affected by the first bullet, until he saw his blood. So, his mind was almost to the point of disbelieving the illusion of the matrix -- that he should be injured by bullets. He could feel Trinity's kiss or hear her words, somehow, which reminded him that the matrix was not real.
Or perhaps it was just a coincidence, and he would have come around on his own anyway.

u want to know the storyline of the matrix - well i can give u details abt what the story is , how it begins to how it ends too. but i will give u just the beginning and the end.
beginning - neo is dreaming abt trinity falling from a building. this is neo's dream which proclaim a dark fate for trinity. so when u see that scene in the trailer when trinity is falling from the window while shooting the agent - that is it!
the ending is very abrupt and makes one feel that the movie shud have gone a little farther than that. i will not reveal the ending because it is a very open ending, it asks questions abt neo, the matrix and the very existence of mankind in zion. remember that reloaded and revolutions are one movie cut into 2 parts - so look out for the trailer of revolutions that will follow the reloaded movie in theaters. it is said that the revolutions will answer all the questions posed and some more. so basically look forward to a roller coaster ride in the matrix reloaded.

chicago sucks on the storyline...it is just the way the story is told that makes it worth the time spent. and yes....the song sequence in the jail was really the high point for me. the other thing was the way catherine zeta jones really gives the songs life.......there is the first song of the movie where renee zelweger is watching catherine sing and imagines herself to be the singer....that scene really says how different their voices are and how amazingly terrific catherine's voice really is. in comparison, renee's voice is something like a shriek.!!!!!!!
