Most of these observations are either completely or partially true. Corruption has many names, and one of civil society isn't innocent either. Professionals and businessmen of various sorts indulge in unscrupulous practices. I recently had a chat with some doctors, surgeons and owners of nursing homes about the tricks of their trade. Here is what they said   1)      40-60% kickbacks for lab tests. When a doctor (whether family doctor / general physician, consultant or surgeon) prescribes tests - pathology, radiology, X-rays, MRIs etc. - the laboratory conducting those tests gives commissions.  In South and Central Mumbai -- 40%.  In the suburbs north of Bandra -- a whopping 60 per cent!  He probably earns a lot more in this way than the consulting fees that you pay. 2)      30-40% for referring to consultants, specialists & surgeons. When your friendly GP refers you to a specialist or surgeon, he gets 30-40%.  3)      30-40% of total hospital charges. If the GP or consultan...

THIS IS YOUR LIFE. Do what you LOVE and do it OFTEN. If you don’t like something, CHANGE IT. If you don’t like your job, QUIT. If you don’t have enough time, QUIT WATCHING TV. If you are looking for the love of your life, STOP. They will be waiting for you when you START DOING THINGS YOU LOVE. STOP OVER ANALYZING, LIFE IS SIMPLE. All emotions are beautiful. When you eat, appreciate EVERY LAST BITE. Open your MIND, ARMS, and HEART to New Things and People, We are united in our DIFFERENCES. Ask the NEXT PERSON you see what their PASSION is, and SHARE your INSPIRING DREAM with them. TRAVEL OFTEN; getting lost will help you FIND YOURSELF. Some OPPORTUNITIES only come once, SEIZE THEM. Life is about the PEOPLE you meet and the things you CREATE WITH THEM. So go out and START CREATING. LIFE IS SHORT. Live your DREAM and wear your PASSION.

We are a unique species,   aren’t   we? Not humans. Indians, I mean. No other race speaks or spells like we do. Take greetings for example. A friendly clerk asking me for my name is apt to start a conversation with, “What is your good name?” As if I hold that sort of information close to my heart and only divulge my evil pseudonym. Bizarre. Which got me thinking about a compilation, a greatest hits of the 10 most hilarious   Indianisms   out there. And here they are.  1. 'Passing out' When you complete your studies at an educational institution, you graduate from that institution. You do not "pass out" from that institution. To "pass out" refers to losing consciousness, like after you get too drunk, though I’m not sure how we managed to connect graduating and intoxication. Oh wait … of course, poor grades throughout the year could lead to a sudden elation on hearing   you’ve   passed all of your exams, which could lead to you actually "passing o...

The BMW film series, The Hire was a series of eight short films (averaging about ten minutes each) produced for the Internet in 2001 and 2002. A form of branded content, all eight films featured popular filmmakers from across the globe, starred Clive Owen as the "Driver", and highlighted the performance aspects of various BMW automobiles. The plots of each of the films differ, but one constant remains: Clive Owen plays "The Driver", a man who goes from place to place (in presumably rented BMW automobiles), getting hired by various people to be a sort of transport for their vital needs.

Sometimes the biggest lessons in life come from the smallest folks around us. All of us tend to look up to big people for lessons on how to get better.  We are keen to learn the secrets of their success. But we forget that sometimes the biggest lessons in life come from the smallest folks around us. Now that’s a good lesson to remember! Take ants for instance. Would you believe those small creatures can teach us how to live a better life? Jim Rohn - the great motivational guru – developed what he called the ‘Ants Philosophy’. He identified four key lessons from the behaviour of ants that can help us lead better lives. Jim Rohn is no more – but his messages continue to inspire. Here then, are the four lessons from Rohn’s ‘Ants Philosophy’. 1. Ants never quit. Have you noticed how ants always look for a way around an obstacle? Put your finger in an ant’s path and it will try and go around it, or over it. It will keep looking for a way out. It won’t just stand there and stare. It won...

An old-timer gets into a tizzy when he realises that a computer has stolen his pet's name. BC: Can you imagine people naming their pets after computer jargon? I read about this guy who named his guinea pigs Qwerty and Wysiwyg (What you see is what you get). AD: Not surprising, I have a friend who named his dog Floppy because he had long ears. BC: Can you imagine a cat being named Laptop and a Chihuahua being called a Widget? AD: Going by your logic, a mule can be named ASCII and… BC: But my neighbour's dog can surely be named GIGO (Garbage In, Garbage Out). That's exactly what he does all day. AD: But why can't animals be named after computer terminology when computer parts are named after animals? BC: What do you mean? AD: One of the reasons why the mouse was named so was because the cord that connected it to the computer resembled a tail. BC: But now you've also got Mouse NT. AD: NT as in New Technology, like Windows NT? BC: No, NT as in No Tail — the cordless...
