“Why the night of Nov 4th saved my generation”

November 12th, 2008

We are the generation to end all generations. Children of a blindCicero, anguish detracted shells for corporate impregnation. Honest expression of our repression is reflected in our Ipods, our primitive obsession with formless function, our acute lack of serendipity in the face of an ever complex cosmic now.

Last night I saw a small glitch in the matrix. A broad baby ripple that spread across the enormity of our value laden space-time mesh. It was as if a baton had been handed to the last human on earth – and the race was necessary not for our survival but for our ontological vindication.

Beware of chain marketing – RMP Infotec

August 29th, 2008

RMPInfoTech.jpgRecently Vinod was introduced to a multiple level marketing company (MLM) in India called RMP InfoTec. After going through the various products they had, he opted to go for an “ICICI Lombard Life Insurance “for his parents. So he made a cheque of Rs 7000 and gave it to the introducer.

Within a few days, He got a small little card which the introducer told me was the medical card that could be used in any big hospital free of cost. Amazingly he never got any call from ICICI regarding the insurance. Neither did he receive any proof from ICICI. SO he called up ICICI Lombard customer care and they told him that the card number imprinted was not registered with ICICI. He went to the introducer and asked for clarifications. The introducer just shrugged the matter saying he should concentrate on getting more people to join and make money rather that worrying about the insurance. » Read more: Beware of chain marketing – RMP Infotec

After months of pressure, finally Pakistani President Musharraf has resigned. Musharraf has been in power for almost 9 years since his arrival when the country was in a crisis.
