TO and CC

the mailing option of CC or carbon copy is one of the ultra coolest thing i can say is and mind u till today morning i never knew the literal meaning of CC .thanks wiki .u see u have turned out to be my next best buddy after google.early in the day at office i got a mail. ok i dint tell u guys right .well i m doing my internship in ernst and young .yeah u heard it right thats the company name and i m not gonna repeat it twice niether u are gonna ask again because i cant help really thats the companys name.so its been some 2 weeks in the office and i was appointed the task of a trainee in the testing operation department.my job simple read from a manual saying what exactly has to do and check whether the actual software is doing the same or not..simple right ??
but i can tell u its one hell of a job.sitting down doing the same testing almost 100 times a day.mad work..one of my colleagues suggest " u need to have the right temperament for that,patience and presence of mind is what you require"

well i had been lately working well inside the business analysis team also giving my valuable inputs.
i was smart enough to point out a loop hole in the whole project and the loop hole was missed by the BA ,developer and even the testing team .so one smart move and i got some instant appreciation..felt realy happy for that..thought of putting up a facebook status then and there itself ..but then the best part was in to come yet.

today morning got a mail from my business analyst

TO lalit (manager)

cc nitin sai (summer intern)


it was the new process flow on the latest project on the GHR database and business analyst was asking me for a review and advice over the project model...damn early in the morning if u see something like that i just cannot tell you..andar cadbury shots foot rahe the..i still was in a fix was that intentional or its just a mistake but tabhi ek aur cadbury shots..my business analyst came up to me and said i want ur special reviews on it .would love to hear them and yeah after a while we need to talk something...

about the talk we had i ll keep it as a secret ..it wasnt regarding the new project but something else .that i would post soon. :)

for the cc thing man bless the person who made this facility in the email..loved the day..cheers..

and yeah any bugs call me..m a debbuging expert ;)

THE WHITE TIGER by aravind adiga


First of all would like to thank two of my friends for suggesting this book.
one of the good book to write about in your blog.
frankly when i first heard the name THE WHITE TIGER ..seeing its back page review i had a different idea in my mind reading this book.
but the way the book started was just really out of box.the way the author writes is something to really watch out for..black humour or dark humour .every line he mocks over greatest and serious issues in present society and yet put a HA ! at the end of the line and leaves the reader in a dilemma to whether laugh on the witty joke or see the truth in it.

the book is all about a man who was never blessed with anythng good in life,representing a common man from a village poor ,uneducated ,family burden and everything wrong which u can get in the society..mind you MR ARVIND but i think you really exaggerated sometimes with all those problems and i guess you picked out your white tiger to be the most miserable soul on this earth but anyways getting back to what we were discussing was the book( see its not that hard trying your style in my blog and on your books review)

the guy munna a typical village brat who is burdened with innumerous miseries in life is uneducated is in search for a earning,bears the brunt of the cruel world which was rather shown to be a literal hell although.

the guy is smart and learns that drivers earn a quick buck and learns driving and with his luck and wits becomes a driver in home of a rich business man in dhanbad.

one great thing about the author is the way he links up every evil in the society and the other aspects about india which are of national concern..the author superbly shifts his side and relates all of them where the reader still thinks he is just reading a simple story .


the story goes on showing all the ugly faces of a servent to master relation .the master and the sevent then move to delhi where munna sees life more practically .the whole story is about the murder which munna committed.he kills his employer to whom he was always loyal and on whom they all trusted .the author gives a splendid justification of the act by the servent as not something out of greed but for freedom.he calls it social entrepreneurship.the author represents himself as the WHITE TIGER ,something which is not found in common and is unique and radical. he thinks that one thing which made his life lot better .he was no more a slave. he is a free and happy man.
he rans away with the money and becomes a successful entrepreneur and leads a happy life.
here the author shows the current trend of the young indian civilization which is smart and full of white tigers like him

all these things which the author mention i can tell you are on the edge of human justification.they can just test your thinking capabilities to the core.the book has for one reason gained my special attention.the author never ask you anything.he doesnt seek any justification or gives you any but moulds you in such a way that you are bent to think and justify yourself.i just never read something like this surely..but then i m not saying its the best i have read..there is a lot of difference.the author sometimes overdid with his sarcasm and mockery. it looked good but sometimes it looked not at all required.

and yeah 320 pages was just too prolonged version.the story could have been cut short and i would pity that chinese fellow to whom this 320 pages of letter was addressed by the author.
and for the man booker prize i dont know wheter its worth or not but yeah its a good one if you want some nice change.

happy reading!!
