My Sweet Bhateeja... :) Sachet... Slideshow

Friends Forever ♥ ♥ ♥

I couldn't find the right words nothing seemed to rhyme to write something for you all. I think it will take time because when you have friends that are very hard to find, there's so much to say because you make everything alright. So I will tell you right now exactly what I need to say, to show you how much I appreciate you being there every day.

Through tears and fights, through smiles, I knew everything would be alright. Through love and hate, through betrayal and debate, for you I would always have faith. By your side I would always stand and you'll stand by mine too, because that’s what forever friends do. So no matter what happens with us In life, through all of the wrongs and all of the rights, I’ll stand by your side, help fight all your fights.

I’m so glad God gave to me someone just like you. He knew that you would be one of the chosen few! I sometimes wish I could explain how much you mean to me, but it’s just not possible to list a billion things. So I just wanted to say Thanks for being in my life!! I love you all sooo soooo much ♥ ♥ ♥

Happy

Someone once told me that you have to choose. What you win or lose, you can’t have everything.

Don’t you take chances, you might feel the pain. Don’t you love in vain, ’cause love won’t set you free?

I can’t stand by the side and watch this life pass me by.

So unhappy but safe as could be. So what if it hurts me? So what it I break down?

So what if this world just throws me off the edge, My feet run out of ground.

I gotta find my place, I wanna hear my sound.

Don’t care about all the pain in front of me.

I just trying to be happy, I just wanna be happy.

Holding on tightly… just can’t let go. Just trying to play my role…

Lonely road

I walk a lonely road, The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes, But it's home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street, On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps, and I'm the only one and I walk alone
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone, I'm walking down the line

That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line, Of the edge and where I walk alone

Ray of hope

From the skies of life, tearing the clouds of sadness there comes a ray of hope. 

Enlightens my world and gives me strength to cope. 

It fills in light, it fills in strength and teaches me never to bend. 

It makes me smile, It brings me joy and makes me as happy as a child with toy. 

A Ray of Hope is as beam of light, which removes from my life the darkest night.

India look for winning start in new season

13 October 2011 

Time for a Fresh Start

Injury-ravaged India hope to make a fresh start in the new season by defeating England in the one-day series at home, captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni said on Thursday.

India's World Cup triumph in April was overshadowed by a disastrous tour of England a few months later when they were blanked 4-0 in the Test series to lose the number one ranking and also lost the one-dayers 3-0.

Dhoni's men get a chance to redeem themselves when they take on Alastair Cook's Englishmen in a five-match one-day series that opens in Hyderabad on Friday.

"Our objective is to make a victorious start to the new season," Dhoni wrote in an exclusive piece for the Indian cricket board's official website (www.bcci.tv).

"We may have not been up to the mark in England, but the fact is that before that tour, we won the game's biggest prize, the World Cup. Our performances over the past three seasons speak for themselves."

"I am convinced that it is only a matter of time before we turn the tide."

Injuries to key players have taken such a heavy toll on the Indians that the 15-man squad for the England one-dayers has just four survivors from the side that beat Sri Lanka in the World Cup final in Mumbai on April 2.

Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh, Zaheer Khan and Munaf Patel have been sidelined with injuries, while Harbhajan and Shanthakumaran Sreesanth were dropped due to poor form.

Dhoni hoped his three other World Cup team-mates - Gautam Gambhir, Suresh Raina and Virat Kohli - will lead the batting charge against the buoyant Englishmen.

"As the senior components of the batting line-up, the onus is on us to defy the opposition bowlers and take the team to secure territory," the skipper wrote.

Seamer Praveen Kumar remains the only experienced bowler in the depleted squad expected to contain the England line-up on traditionally batting-friendly wickets.

Three bowlers - leg-spinner Rahul Sharma, 24, left-arm seamer Sreenath Aravind, 27, and fast bowler Varun Aaron, 21 - have yet to play international cricket.

Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Sharma will be the three spin options, while Praveen leads a new-ball attack that also includes unheralded Umesh Yadav and Vinay Kumar.

Dhoni, however, remained confident the new-look attack will deliver.

"I believe the new boys will be good enough to bowl on wickets that are likely to suit the batsmen," he said. "They have grown up bowling in these conditions and know the wickets well."

The remaining four matches after the Hyderabad opener will be played in New Delhi on October 17, Mohali on the 20th, Mumbai on the 23rd and Kolkata on the 25th.

England will round off the tour with a Twenty20 game in Kolkata on October 29.

We’re dating but not engaged: Shibulal

Priyadarshani Basu, Yahoo! India Finance, On Wednesday 12 October 2011, 4:14 PM

 

Not only has the Infosys Q2 results beat street expectations, media persons have been treated to an unusually flirtatious Infosys CEO & MD, Shibulal. The normally grim and boringly monotonous Shibulal today chose to answer questions on mergers and acquisitions with an analogy to relationships, that too with just that little smirk on his face.

When asked in the press conference on what Infosys's acquisition plans were considering they were sitting on so much cash, Shibulal said: We're dating now. It'll take a while to get engaged."  CFO Bala added that the intention was there, but neither revealed how close they were to making any acquisition.

The company has been performing rather well in the North Americas and the region Ashok Vemuri said, "You can expect the North Americas to provide the bulk of the revenues in the coming months."

In fact the Infosys team is very proud that despite the global uncertainties, they have managed to realign themselves without losing people and impacting any client relationship.

Shibulal said, "Acquisitions are extremely strategic. We are now looking at products and platforms for acquisition to increase our footprint in other countries."

CFO, V Balakrishnan said, "Acquisition is just a means to an end, not the end in itself. We have $3.8bn in cash,we have every intention and are highly focused  on high end companies which  will get us higher revenue.  Health-care,  insurance and the life sciences are in our line of view. As soon as we get something that fits with our strategy, we will acquire."
