After a months hard work...(winks)...i received my first salary...wow what a feeling huh!?...actually speaking though, it wasnt much of a thrill...i was like...whats the difference...i used to draw cash from the ATM before and now i will do the same....difference?...the ATM's have changed....and also ive got to worry about investing, taxes, and controlling expenditure...ugh!...no matter how much you earn, you will always think.."Itna Kam...arey yaar maine to zyada socha tha..."....so ever since i have been thinking(yeah right i do that)...and i realized that I'll have to drum up some kind of a side business to supplement my salary and keep my head above water....so here are a few professions that are profitable (especially in Pune)...and can be taken up part-time...
1) First on the list is Rickshaw driver!....hey!...dont laugh!...am serious here!....see...you need some peersonal transport to take you to the office and back right?....buy an auto!...they come cheap...every day take three office colleagues with you and make them pay...you will save gas money...and may even earn some more!...on weekends...wanna go for a movie!?...go in your auto!...you are sure to find some movie goers in your locality...and think of how much you can charge to go back home at 1 am!....give it a thought!
2)Next best in my view is to become a vendor and start selling stuff that you get for free from your office....fruits, tea bags, styrofoam cups, pens!....everything can be sold! (hope no one from amdocs administration reads this!)...does any other business promise 100% profits!?...
3)The next profession is sheer brilliance!....the initial investment is one matchbox!...what you do is this....in every break rush to the smoking zone of you company...with a matchbox or a lighter(if you smoke you wont have to make the initial investment also!)...and offer to light peoples ciggarettes for 1 Re!...you will be amazed how many smokers come to office without lights!....i bet youll earn between 50-100 Rs a Day!....
4) Other lines of business i thought of include...become a dhobi...buy a washing machine and wash clothes...in pune with laundry charges as high as 15 bucks....you can make a fortune!...
5)Also when you have been searching for flats in a city like pune...you are on first name terms with most of the brokers...you have seen enough flats to become a broker yourself!....all you need to do is hang around the group of new joinees in your company and promise to introduce them to a 'good' broker who has this absolutely awesome place up for rent....for a small commission!....with the kind of people companies are recruiting these days!...it just might work!...he he he...
can you think of anymore!??.....

Just a blog......
Its been more than a month since my last post....usually i think out my article and ponder over what to write for atleast a week or so before subjecting my so loyal (dont know why!) readers to yet another worthless compilation of my thoughts...this time though i will just sit and type away while my instructor keeps blabbering away some crap about unit testing or something....
I just finished reading a compilation of Ayn Rands's early works...mainly short stories and plays written by her...that woman must've been something really...she came to the US from the Soviet at the age of 21 and she was unable to even speak english...12 years later she wrote The Fountainhead....i wouldnt the best ever book....but its right up there....so this compilation consists of the stories and plays she wrote as 'practice' before embarking on her self-chosen task of putting forth the philosophy of Objectivism....there is this most unique and amazing play titled "Think Twice"...unique because this is the only murder mystery ever written by Ayn Rand...amazing because...well just read it...please do...you'll find it in the The Early Ayn Rand by Piekhoff...
Sometimes i wonder if there are any John Galts and Howard Roark amongst us today...of course those two can exist only in theory...but is there someone who even comes close?....lets see...
Steve Jobs....but he stole from xerox....then maybe the xerox employee who actually made the first personal computer....
Bill Gates...he bought DOS....then maybe the programmer who wrote the first OS....
Lakshmi Mittal....hmm maybe...
Alex Ferguson....yep...pretty close i would say....except that the choice of work wouldnt agree with an objectivist....
any more you can think of?
