Go Karting

I had a ball when we went for go-karting , some ppl in our group chickened out .We were seven people, all of us are in our prime twenties ,only I was on the wrong side of it. We drove 24 laps on half mile cricuit . On a twenty lap race , i allowed all my team mates to start early ,By end of the race i finished one lap earlier than all of them . During the course of race i did some fantastic overtaking moves . The one that lingers in my head is on a tight right and left corner , i came wheel to wheel and onto the kerbs on the right hand corner and raced wheel to wheel and left no space for my friend on the left hand corner . That was an awesome move and i am proud of it .

How Rich are U ?

I recently bumped into this site called How Rich Are u .If you enter your annual income it will show where you belong w.r.t to rich and poor. I am not sure about the authenticity and credibility of the site ,but it is interesting to know where you are w.r.t other rich and poor. With my parltry salary i am in top 10% of the people , that means 90% of the people are poorer than me , Thats not what i am interested in. I am interested in how uneven the wealth is distributed in the capitalist market!!..

I hope one day there will be a free world where no money is involved but only services !!.Imagine a world where people just trade services , for e.g as a software developer i develop software to make things efficient and a contractor builds my house and car company builds a car for me!!. A happy world where all the people are equally rich and all jobs are treated equally.

How old is your son?

It happened that i visited my colleague's daughter's first birthday , there were some other colleagues of mine attended with their families and kids . The birthday party went very well, there was magic show which nobody bothered to appreciate, but all in all it was a good evening .

One of my colleague brought his kid , the small kid was very afraid of being in alien place , I asked him how old is your son , he said 1.2 years !!. It sounded very funny at that moment , i and my wife had good laugh for some time . By saying 1.2 years , what my friend meant was 1 year 2 months .By observing closely this is one such example how we deal with numbers these days (for e.g 1.5 years of experience , 3.5 lakhs as salary ),this is closely in sync with current trend , may be my friend is thinking about his next salary hike !!!.
