Yuck

I am one among those unfortunate few who have come to office in between Christmas and New Year. As I don’t have anything to work on for this period, the sheer embarrassment on what to account for working from home made me come. Alone in my room, it’s not a great fun watching outside the windows – at least for today.

Taking coal to Newcastle

As anybody would be, I was also surprised to read that a British company has secured a multimillion order to export sand to Dubai. The news item I read did not give any other details about the deal.
That made me curious to search this on web and now this news item reveals the details behind.
But still, if it’s the Sales executives who have convinced the Dubai Prince then this can be a perfect case study for Marketing!!!

Last week was so busy (both personal and at work). The days were long and I even slept in the train in the morning one day and woke up at the terminating station. This has happened never before. It just reminded me how we used to laugh and bully one of my friend, when he used to sleep on his morning trip to office in a crowded 47D PTC, miss his stop at Ramco Adayar and wake up at Thiruvanmiyur.

Dubukku of the week

Read these in Metro.

A Romanian husband who lost the divorce case didn't want to give away his property as part of settlement. He changed all the locks and swallowed the keys. The enforcement authorities didn't know how to retrieve the keys as the husband was adamant. (The Metro story ends here...what wud have happened after that?)

Ada thevuda…

A burglar dropped his mobile at an incident spot. He was promptly caught when he came to collect it from the police who advertised about the lost mobile. Do I need to say this happened in the US?
