Dont eat God

Floyd Johnson, my co-worker at Microsoft just brought me a Buritto and asked me to grab a piece. I asked him whats in it? He said Beef and Beans ...."Floyd I cant eat that dude, coz my religion prevents me from eating beef". Floyd, "Dont worry about it Kartik, I know you dont want to eat your God" ............ :)

Taxi Cab Confessions

Taxi Cab Confessions

My job demands that I keep moving from one building to another within the Microsoft Redmond Campus for meetings. Microsoft provides shuttle services and I think its one of the best services that a employer could offer to the employees. You get a shuttle from anywhere to anywhere on a giagantic campus within minutes. I am person who cannot sit quite on planes, trains or automobiles. I have to talk to someone.

So on one of these shuttle rides I picked up a conversation with the driver who was from some African country. His english was poor, but he said "Namaste" and then he went on to say "Kaise Ho".."Main Acha Hun" and stuff in Hindi. I was astonished. I said wazzup?. What he said was more suprising, he said Hindi movies are a rage in whichever part of Africa he was from. I guess he was from the central Africa - Congo, Tanzania perhaps.

He went on to add that Hindi movies really churn up the audiences back in Africa. He said that the hindi movies of the '80s were really good. [....well i didnt know that]. His faviourtie movie where he cried was "Kranti" starring Manoj Kumar, Hema Malini, Dilip Kumar etc.

Well - World is Flat
