Those were days!

Those were days,
when break time and lunch hours were the most awaited periods in school years! The day's discussions would start of with "did you watch 'Giant Robot' yesterday, i missed Captain Vyom, How was it?" if i even think of those days, i feel elated at one side while at the same time i miss 'em a lot! During the pre college school years too, though there was the "public exam" fever amidst us, we took time off to play during class hours and used to go to inter school fests and competitions.I had the habit of penning down a few lines everyday in my personal diary, a habit which has almost become obsolete nowadays. More the ease and use of technology, more we tend to forget certain habits. During college, apart from having wasted four precious years, i don't seem to have done something useful or gained any significant knowledge, even in my specialisation.

off the track, i was amazed to see Azim Premji holding 20K shares of TCS. The biggies would do anything to acquire more money. moreover, he holds shares of a company which is being regarded as one of the main competitors of the company he runs! Azim was also recently in news when he recommended increased taxing of IT professionals as he felt they were "well-paid." The irony was that, in his very own company, Entry level professionals get paid lesser than the Industry average, but are extracted more work than anywhere else. The business magnets have also started behaving like Politicians, expressing statements which are abstract or make no sense. Azim's remark on professional tax would fit in this category.
