This is a real story that happened between a customer of General Motors and its Customer-Care Executive . Pls read on….. A complaint was received by the Pontiac Division of General Motors: ‘This is the second time I have written to you, and I don’t blame you for not answering me, because I sounded crazy, but it is a fact that we have a tradition in our family of Ice-Cream for dessert after dinner each night, but the kind of ice cream varies so, every night, after we’ve eaten, the whole family votes on which kind of ice cream we should have and I drive down to the store to get it. It’s also a fact that I recently purchased a new Pontiac and since then my trips to the store have created a problem…..You see, every time I buy a vanilla ice-cream, when I start back from the store my car won’t start.

My advice/guidance which I gave to one of the freshers who has just passed out from BE & is looking out for his first job. Thought of posting this here since it might benefit other freshers as well. My letter to the freshly passed out job seeker ----------------------------------------------- Hi, Please correct the spelling "emplotment" - to employment in your resume.

Console Games.. Woww.. My mind travels back to the 8 bit era where I played the tennis with my uncle & cousin's son for hours together. It was a great game requiring a lot of hand to eye co-ordination & quick reflexes !! I loved the arcade games such as star galaxy & the car races in the gaming parlors of Mumbai. It definitely ranks as the best 8 bit game for me ! There were others such as the Baseball.. Super Mario.. Donkey Kong.. & Wrestling to name a few. A special mention to the Nintendo's F1 racing game which was an all time favorite for me. Also cannot forget the mach rider bike racing game where you could smash your opponent's bike. We played all this in our Nintendo 8 bit gaming console . Then cam the 16 bit era where Brian Lara Cricket & The Jungle book were two of the greatest games using which I have spent days on end with my cousins in Mumbai & Bangalore game parlours. We got lucky to get our own SEGA 16 bit gaming console where we could ...

I have been a great fan of PC games ever since chilhood. I started with Pac man & Dave on the 386 IBM PC as far as my memory lanes can go back. Then came Windows workstation 3.1 on which I used to enjoy playing Wolfenstien 3D, Prince of Persia on the Intel's 486 processor. Then came the Intel's first Intel Pentium processor 586 which my dad bought it for me with 1 GB hdd & 16 MB RAM. :-) I had a monochrome monitor to start with. The computer service provider had installed Need For Speed 2 game from Electronic Arts in it.
