God and Belief

The believer is not a seeker. The believer does not want to seek, that´s why he believes. The believer wants to avoid seeking, that´s why he believes. The believer wants to be delivered, saved, he needs a savior. He is always in search of a messiah — somebody who can eat for him, chew for him, digest for him. But if I eat, your hunger is not going to be satisfied. Nobody can save you except yourself.

-- Osho Rajneesh

Pope and the Muslims

Recently Pope made a comment while reading a text at some place which said that Mohammed had brought the biggest evil on the world.

This is disgusting. I think all Christians should give up Christianity on moral grounds. If the highest authority of your religion makes such ignorant comments it shows the narrow-mindedness of your religion and its core values. Orthodox Christians suck bigtime.

On the other hand, once again the Muslims showed to the world that they are still living in the 11th Century. Their angry reaction to the whole incident was overrated. They could have demanded an apology without burning down Churches and Chapels in the middle east.

If pope turns out to be an asshole why should Muslims respond to it in an assholish manner ?

I'm again reminded and convinced that Religion & God has nothing to do with Human life. Both the concepts are biggest conspiracy theories of all times.

Drop Religion and concept of God from your mind. Both do not exist.

Netvibes

I discovered this cool site www.netvibes.com.

Its a RSS feed aggregator and offers other functionalities such as reading mails through RSS and certain other features like Meebo widgets etc.

It's one of the coolest sites I've seen lately. Its time to say good bye to visiting various sites to read content posted out there. NetVibes is a one stop shop to read all your content, blogs, pics and what not.

Several other sites have started RSS feed reader facilities. Off lately Yahoo is one I've noticed who've jumped into this game.

This site is on my high recommendation list.

Bad experience with DoubleTree suites

I am explicitly taking out some time out of my busy schedule today to write this post.

I came to New Jersey for the first time as a consquence of a new job. Until I found an apartment I chose to live in DoubleTree suites & Hotels (Newport branch) which is a part of the Hilton Hotels umbrella.

My experience with DoubleTree was really really bad and I was absolutely appalled by the kind of customer service they offer.

Basic things like clean rooms, with all the needed utilities and amneties were all perfect. There was no problem with that.

The ugly part is here.

Avis car rentals has an office right in the lobby of the same hotel. I didn't really know this and called the front desk about renting cars. The front desk dosen't really want to talk straight. It dosent understand what the hell customer service means.
The lady who picked up my call answers in an irritated tone saying that 'Sir, why don't you call the Avis rentals rather than asking me?'. It seemed like by telling me this she was doing me a huge favour for which I'd owe her one.

Finally gives me the phone number for Avis rentals which dosent work! I had to go on the Avis website and get thier number.

This is bad service. Real bad service.

Here is another one.

Internet access in DoubleTree suites is not Wireless. Its Wireless only in Public areas.

Crap!

In which age are they living? 1760's?

Tell me which hotel today dosent have a wireless connectivity in rooms?

To add to that, the wireless connectivity is available for 9.95$ per day. This is a too expensive. No value for money ! Total crap!

I had lived in Extended Stay hotels in the past and they offer wireless connectivity in every room for 4.95$ for the entire stay. Thats what I call value for money. These guys (Extended Stay) make profit too but they don't rip the customer off for making the profit. They do ethical business.

When you check-in to DoubleTree they offer you Choclate Chip cookies as a warm welcome. This is a total gimmick! They have no Idea of good customer service at all. The warmness in the customer service dissappears as soon as you get into your room.

With all these problems I'd advise anybody NOT to choose DoubleTree suites for your stay if you want that stay to be comfortable. There are a million other hotels and you shud rather choose those.

Finally, out of rat hole of Cognizant

Its had been on my mind for around 2 years. I tried my best to get out of it in London. But out there, to get a job on work permit was just too difficult. I had only one choice. Get to US and get rid of CTS. And thats what I did.

I came to Houston in Feb. Wasted a month since my passport was confiscated and Visa extension was waited. After that next 4 months I was only sticking to CTS to get valid paychecks which are needed for H1B transfers. I got them and resigned.

The market out here in US so HOT that as soon as I placed my resume on Monster, I started getting more than at least 5 calls a day. I caught a consultant and he started marketing my resume. I interviewed pretty heavily. I cleared practically all the interviews I gave except one. I got selected in UBS for NY and switched.

The sorry feeling of a underpaid and an overworked individual trapped in a jail is gone for good.

Another lesson in life, Having definitive focus helps move things quickly.

I know people from CTS here in US who have stuck to the company from last 2 and more years being on an H1. I switched almost immediately after arriving in US.

Another lesson learnt for me in life, Do things when time is ripe otherwise one rots.

I am in NYC now. Life is better.

Clarification about the Aryan migration, once again

These set of links again are a research into the fact that Aryans never migrated into India. It was the other way round. This research was done by an independant researcher David Frawley.

Myth About Aryan Invasion

Update on Aryan Invasion Theory

This is an excellent collection of articles I came across which eradicates the myth that Aryans migrated from Europe.

They were natively from the Indian heartland itself.

Islamist fundamentalism

These days I've suddenly gained interest in Islam. A religion which has desperately gone wrong.

I seriously want to know what makes these fools think that the world should be exactly same as it was in 300BC when Mohd was around.

Some of the more critical blogs I've recently read are :
