The real reason why some photos are pathetically photoshopped and why some people unknowingly flatter others

Sometimes the photos are photoshopped to such an extent that I wonder what the original photo would look like. My best guess is that everyone/everything in the photo was looking original and ugly. I know, I am being an asshole, but the fact is why would someone photoshop their photos to such an extent that people don’t concentrate on the photo, instead, they concentrate on how much of editing has gone into the photo. There has to something wrong with the photo or the way the photo has been edited.

Truth be told, I (most of you too) like to photoshop, but (a big BUT J), I know my limits. I think, knowing the limits is what differentiates a creative person from a wannabe-creative person. The same thing applies to appreciation, those who know the limits make the other person feel good about themselves (by appreciating them), and those who don’t know the limits, unknowingly flatter the other person and make him/her feel awkward. Point made!

All in all, it’s good to know the limits, it makes total sense. By the way, if you don’t know the limits of how much should a photo be edited, pick a decent Instagram-effects or click “I’m feeling lucky” in Picasa photo editing tool. Those are (kinda) your limits!

TV Channels ;-(

ohh these bloody TV channels are so damn getting into my nerves that its content has made me to write an article on my blog। There is absolutely no dilution of the channel content for weeks 2 go, I have been watching TV just coz I have all the time in this world till I get my joining date ;-) but again there is nothing left for me 2 watch as they broadcast the same thing again and again. WHATS THERE 2 CHANGE MUSIC- plz stop darde disco, ankhon mei teri, mauja mauja & move your body baby etc etc, Put some tracks which may date back 2 the 70s but not these again and again. If not the old list, start with some new movie albums and some tracks from strings or junoon which are nowhere 2 be seen. TV shows- start new seasons of the shows like friends, sienfeld or the OC, the desperate housewives or else change the show itself but plz dont torture with the same season again and again. The only best part of the channels- THE EVER CHANGING ADVERTISING SECTOR WHICH COMES UP WITH EXTREMELY CR...

Better late than never...a perfect beginning for my blog post. It's time to write about my unexpected event which certainly did come to reality today.

Wipro Technologies did is for us, it was our reporting day today (27th April 2009). Our training starts on May 4th 2009 (one more week to go). Let me just rewind & play the whole day.

The candidate you want to hire

If you are hiring, the best fit for you would be someone who can fit right-in without any kind of training. There are a lot of guys like that out in the market, but the challenge is that you need to find them, that explains why monster.com and naukri.com is such a big hit. So, I’ve been doing some interviewing for quite a long time now, and I believe that some of the good ways for you to find a candidate is to: Target potential companies and not candidates – if you find a company that works exactly like you do, then you get candidates from there who fit right in. Target communities – Be a part of the community, contribute to the community, and hire people from the community. Coz a candidate in a community shows that he is passionate about his line of work and is working more to get things done besides his office work. Address pain points – Yes! It is a business strategy and not some hiring strategy ( I think, I got that from my MD’s talk in a leadership meet ). It is very general,...
