Shahrukh popular than Tom Cruise ????

http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/2663555.cms


Now you read a news like this and you feel shocked..." how is it possible' !!!!

considering that there are 0.1 bn English speaking population in India and rest wont even know about Tom Cruise let alone he be popular among them. So while Tom has just 0.1bn out of 1bn Indian population SRK has a huge base of 1bn in india itself.

Then you have all the south east Asian countries who would know SRK . but TC.. i don't think so.. add to that the india diaspora spread across the world.... you have a pretty big number of srk fans...!!

But you need to give credit where its due. Undoubtedly SRK has worked a lot on marketing himself on every possible stage... He goes to cricket world cups.. waves around.. shown on camera with more than 2 bn people watching all over the world.. u are deemed to be popular.. He does so many stage shows in Dubai.. London..Singapore...US.!! u can't deny the fact that the guy has worked a lot on marketing himself and his image all over the world and probably that does make him special to able to attract such a big number.

Well.. let him be the Biggest Star of Indian Cinema (if not the best actor :P )

Narendra Modi... unmasked

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Unmasking_Modi_A_loner_even_at_the_top/articleshow/2663033.cms


You read the above post in the "Times of india" and anyone will feel awed of the Gujrat CM. I am no big fan of Mr Modi but this article just changes my views towards him from total disregard to certain sense of acknowledgement that this person does have some in-born talents for creativity, acting, poetry technology and management..!!

It also made me aware of the power of media - just one page in times of india and i am forced to rethink about someone widely regarded as being resposible for the gujrat riots !! Makes me wonder about the role of media in projecting Mr Modi as the symbol of hindu fanaticism. The writer of the artcles "Prashant Dayal and Radha Sharma" do strike a chord on those who wonder about how Modi manages to win in gujrat and remains the undisputed leader.

A full page article - which comes in the face of BJPs victory in Gujrat- and which highlights the positives of Mr Modi .. smells fishy.. or maybe i am just being paranoid .

Anti Ballistic Missile system

The first time i heard about it from my friend i didn't really believe it... But yeah India has anti missile system in place.. One of the 4 countries in the world..!! now thats some achievement.. It will cost us some 2500 crores... but what to do.. we have such super nice neighbours that this is a small price to pay...

well it feels good that we have some really bright people in right places like DRDO who have the drive and brains to develop such sophisticated system... Sometimes i get a feeling they are not recognised appropriately.

Anyways it feels good to have atleast some protection when we have a neighbour which has not signed the first strike policy.

As a defence personnel said " If Pakisthan goes nuclear against us it will be detected within 30 seconds of launched and destryed 40km above the ground and after that Pakisthan wont remain a country worth living .. for the next decade" !!!!

Which is not a very happy thought but atleast that will serve as a deterent to any country going against us....

Finally... a blog by me :)

Its been quite a while since the thought of starting my own blog crossed my mind.. and after months of laziness and lack of inspiration, here i am on a sunday- which is a working day , posting for the first time.

So while i was sitting in my bus..( which now ridiculously comes at 745am... and lands me in the office at 840 am when the actual time for office is 9am..!! ) i am deep in thought without listening to my daily dose of radio... trying to decide the name for my blog and i can't help it but i really have a big influence of F.R.I.E.N.D.S on my life so its obvious that the blog name is dedicated to "Joey" -those who dont know abt it-> Joey acts in a show "Days of our life" ..

The feeling is pretty weird.. it feels like i am speaking to a whole lot of people all over the world.. people i know..people i don't.. even though i know for a fact that hardly anyone is gonna read these postings :D. High hopes huh..

So from now on all things that influence me are going on this.... well today is 23rd December and here i go to new experience of blogging..!!!!
