The title says it all, with dueful mention of Will Smith starrer, I firmly believe that most of working professionals can relate to it. Barring few blessed ones, for most of the us life is a pursuit. we all work for acheiving this happiness, this may be happiness of able to gift something to your parents, toys to your endearing son or a great candle light dinner with your beloved.
We all work for satisfying our needs and needs of those we care. Real happiness can only be saovured if you have indeed faced with failures, rejection and circumstances most probably know as bad luck.
As an avid blogger and netwoker i believe it is our responsibilty to bring happiness to all. Just by sharing few words of wisdom, any opportunity or even small tips to remain happy we all can make a difference. In that context Bhutan is best country in world as they dominate the Gross happiness quotient. It's high time, we should think on same lines.
Happy go lucky

Love your Job, don't love your company
This question is making headway because of the sole reason that mental trauma, depression has become a part of every professionals life. If you live your job profile but you don't love your co workers, the professional life becomes hell. This is one of the most common reason for high number of attrition, specially in service industry. It is one thing wherein nobody can claim to be better, because there is always a chance to become best. The scenario is completely different in manufacturing industry wherein with automation of every process teh human role becomes of a supervisor.
Suggestion, Hire intelligent, sensitive, logical bosses with an humanistic appraoch towards anything. They should follow what they preach ironically there are not enough good leaders at the top level of pyramid. A combination of love your job, love your company makes a company top most in its sector.

India a target of terror
Haven't u guys wondered, why china as an asian country is more or less safe from terror. and why it is not stopping in India. There are few reasons
1.) The communist govt of China is iron fisted, doesn't shilly shally on any policies of nation security
2.) No hostile country in neighbourhood, pakistan India's arch rival is busy growing terrorist for bringing down india.
3.) No porous borders, almost everything coming inside china is tracked.
4.) No local support, in india there are plenty of extremists who support the action of terrorists and be a part of it.
5.) Big religion based divide in India widened by frequently occuring communal riots.
6.) India's close relationship with Us, Uk and Israel, perennial anti Islamic ( as considered widely by islamic countries)
7.) Pakistan's foolish agenda to burn neighbours house even at the cost of its own.
8.) Mis management of ample human resources in India, most elite commanods gaurd foolish politicians.

Living Under the shadow of terror
I am late to comment on Mumbai attacks, but probably the devastation had made me speechless. And yes it is not the first time in India, with porous borders, corrupt policemen & politicians and hostile neighbours from all side. what else you require to live life in constant fear. the political will to tackle terrorism is not there. I mus not say that that USA has done the smartest thing in invading afghanistan ( considering civilian casualties) but certainly they have shown to world that you don't mess with americans.
Indian politicians are opposite of that, they just care about themselves and their obsolete appeasement policies. they are not united. regional, caste based politics is highly praised. thanks to media and judiciary or some extent the federal system of India is stil intact. otherwise it would have gone pakistan way long back( another foolish country trying to deny what is obvious to whole world).
So how does India is growing economy with great future, it is all thanks to extra ordinary talent pool here who are ambitious, multi skilled and willing to take extra pain to stya away from their home town or place forever for the sake of it. Being an indian, terror is again becoming a part of our great indian culture which believes everything as part of life. we are so easy going. But as you must have heard so many times the threshold limit of People patience is reaching fast and if doesn't end here a civil disobedience movement is on cards.

Organisational Values
How many times you have felt like hitting your manager when he keeps talking jargons you doesn't understand and telling you to measure every effort and document everything if you really want appreciation forget appraisal.
Doesn't you all get bored sitting in meetings wherein you know some fool is talking crap but you have no choice.
Almost 90% of worldwide work force would feel that there boss is a big fool.
The truth is these all are very rampant in work environment today. Lack of motivation, unhapppines has increased many fold in almost evry organisation. Strange enough even in times of recession, attrition rate has not declined.
Companies across the world really need to introspect what is going on, and how it should be stopped. Thumb rule for measuring company's performance should be Happiness qoutient rather than market cap

Why would SEM rise in times of recession.
Recession is here. Indians lets accept this. I know we all have huge bank savings for any contingency plans, but still we all are afraid to put money into market. But again one company is still smiling in these trying times as well i.e Google.
So hasn't recession affected SEm Indutsry ? yes it indeed has but positively. Advertising is still considerd as avodable cost by many companies, so first axe and first budget cuts happens in this department. But they still would advertise , so they focus towards SEM or online advertising where cost is still less, every lead or sales can be tracked and is very effective considering people are avoiding shopping malls, they are ordering online to cut their home cost.
So business for agencies is bound to increase and it is idle time for agencies across the world to pitch in for new clients which doesn't advertise in online domain or one who have small advertising budgets which is inefficient for traditional advertising but sufficient enough for running a PPC or CPL based campign on web.
Your comments are highly appreciated

Why shouldn't you watch new James Bond Flick
Qunatum of solace has been released in India, a week before USA, but for my dear american friends i would like to give review on it much before you watch. An honest one which would help you save money in times of recession.
So why shouldn't you watch this ( 5 reasons)
1.) If you like beefy violence Bourne ultimatum is better choice
2.) No gadgets for inspiration
3.) Bond girls look dumb
4.) storyline is old Mithun chakraborty ( bollywood) films i.e revenge
5.) You have to watch casion Royale before watching this or else you wud get confused
Will be back with more reviews pretty soon

Tiger Eats Kangaroo
Kangaroos are very fast, can jump over any hurdle and have great culture to bring and nourish its baby, But Alas tiger is fast catching up, and this time it has devoured kangaroo, tarnishing its image and invincibility factor. To clarify animal lovers i am talking about India ( Tiger) & Australia ( Kangaroo) and the hunting ground is cricket. I don't remember when before Aussies were humiliated in such a manner. And i am glad that it occured in my era and i witnessed it ball by ball.
The invincibilty factor of Aussies is gone in cricket and they soon would be overthrowned from their no.1 chair, which they have rightly possessed fro 12 years now, much like mighty west indies side start crumbling after 1983 losss to india and still can only fare little better in 20 20.
The series is over, champagne is over flowing and yes Aussies are finding every medicine less to fil their wounds. History has finally been made and i am glad it started with India and finishing of with it.

Obama U called me back
Hi All,
I am back to post new message after a long self imposed hiatus. It's not that there was nothing to right about, US Financial crisis, Global financial services meltdown, Job cuts, attrition, bombings at every nook and corner of world and hot and happenings of Search industry with Yahoo in grave danger of rejecting the delicious juicy offer from MSN.
So you all can see the list is endless, but these all were expected isn't it. So it neither shook me, made me think and write any new posts. But an unthinkable prospect called me back, An Afro American becoming US President with an muslim lineage. Oh! God, a mixture of communities majority of which is always against USA, and somebody belonging to them has become decision maker of greatest economy of world. Unbelievable , out of the world, Congrats Obama.
The whole world would be watching you for next few years and your decision and would scrutnise your every decision. Chance to become Hero or Villain, The call is yours.
Feel free to add on your comments on this

MSN, Yahoo Fallout.
so Finally Mr. Balmer who vowed to dig Google n deep crave has wilted. A slight diffrence of $4 per share was the culprit. some may think that it makes perfect sense for Microsoft to buy MSN.
But i call it desperation rather thansound business sense. A Msn , yahoo merger is hardly a compatible fit. Moreover it would be waste on Research Msn and yahoo has done on their new search engines.
What Msn should do is to stop thinking of inorganic growth and Think ore on working towrads making their search better. some innovativenes and an wholesome product package like Google has is what they are missing on.
Common Mr. gates u guys revolutionised how computer operates, ry something innovative.

Appraisal time
we look forward to appraisal every year. it is one time wherein your not so good member s become prety good, etiquttes. maanerisms, politeness becomes a norm within the org
It amuses me that how can money chage our lifes, so much that many of us fake what we are not. But still it is professional world.
I am looking forward to this increase with more sarcasam rather trhan joy as it would be correction not increase.
It is high time we start paying on terms of market rates. I feel that the time has come when talent should be traded like shares and best talent should get that package.
But alas, talented guys are seldom judged by someone better than them.

Winds of Change.
Change is a tough customer. the moment you are ready with a package which would suit him/her, It changes her mind. Let's call change fairer sex, as they are hard to please and hard to accept things.
we all talk abt change, its implications & its much needed importance but we nevrr talk abt what brings in change. It could be anything, from small chiding at the hands of parents or big break up to a strong determination.
Small changes effect individual or two. But change started bya stong will or detrmination can change lives of many. Remember Gandhi, Hitler or even Buddha. A strong will changes everything and anywhere. be it office, personal space or a nation.
The point here is not to say abt change but to pass on the message that small ideas backed by strong will to succed is what we all require to make it big.
Change is painful, but the old saying goes.
There is no gain without pain.
