When your boss takes a long time, he’s thorough.</p>
<p>When you don’t do it, you’re lazy.<br />
When your boss doesn’t do it, he’s too busy.</p>
<p>When you make a mistake, you’re an idiot.<br />
When your boss makes a mistake, he’s only human.</p>
<p>When doing something without being told, you’re<br />
overstepping your authority.<br />
When your boss does the same thing, that’s initiative.</p>
<p>When you take a stand, you’re being bull-headed.<br />
When your boss does it, he’s being firm.</p>
<p>When you overlooked a rule of etiquette, you’re being rude.<br />
When your boss skips a few rules, he’s being original.</p>
<p>When you please your boss, you’re apple polishing.<br />
When your boss pleases his boss, he’s being co-operative.</p>
<p>When you’re out of the office, you’re wandering around.<br />
When your boss is out of the office, he’s on business.</p>
<p>When you’re on a day off sick, you’re always sick.<br />
When your boss is a day off sick, he must be very ill.</p>
<p>When you apply for leave, you must be going for an interview.<br />
When your boss applies for leave, it’s because he’s overworked.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I complete 3 years at GRMTECH. It’s been a long journey for me with everything to gain and nothing to lose.</p>
<p>3 years back I was one of those who did not know how to use Yahoo messenger and hated discussion on computers. But today I feel proud when some of my friends come and ask for my suggestions for there commercial websites. It really feels great. </p>
<p>If I look back at those 3 years, Grmtech has been more of an institute rather than a company for me (Thanks to <a href="http://www.idealwebtools.com/blog/">Aji</a> and <a href="http://souravsharma.com/blog/">Sourav Da</a>).</p>
<p>Also, I will always cherish all the friends (would have loved to write all the names, but the list would be too long.) I made at GRMTECH.</p>
<p>It’s been a great experience to work with all the GRMTECH members. Looking forward to spending some more precious time with you guyz <img src='http://www.anirudhlohia.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Below are the Interview Questions, which were asked in HR Round&#8230;..</p>
<p>Be careful while you answering, No one will GET second chance to impress&#8230;.</p>
<p>Very very Impressive Questions and Answers&#8230;.. &#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Question 1:</strong> You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night,<br />
it&#8217;s raining heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop,<br />
and you see three people waiting for a bus:</p>
<p>An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.<br />
An old friend who once saved your life.<br />
The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.</p>
<p>Which one would you choose to offer a ride to,<br />
knowing very well that there could only be one passenger in your car?</p>
<p>This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application.</p>
<p>* You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first;</p>
<p>* or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to ! pay him back.</p>
<p>* However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.</p>
<p>The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up with his answer. Guess what was his answer?</p>
<p>He simply answered:</p>
<p>&#8220;I would give the car keys to my Old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital.<br />
I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations. Never forget to &#8220;Think Outside the Box.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Question 2:</strong> What will you do if I run away with your sister?&#8221;</p>
<p>The candidate who was selected answered &#8221; I will not get a better match for my sister than you sir&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Question 3:</strong> Interviewer (to a student girl candidate) - What is one morning you woke up &#038; found that you were pregnant.</p>
<p>Girl - I will be very excited and take an off, to celebrate with my husband.</p>
<p>Normally an unmarried girl will be shocked to hear this, but she managed it well. Why I should think it in the wrong way, she said later when asked</p>
<p><strong>Question 4: </strong>Where Lord Rama would have celebrated his &#8220;First Diwali&#8221;?<br />
People will start thinking of Ayodya, Mitila [Janaki&#8217;s place], Lanka etc&#8230;</p>
<p>But the logic is, Diwali was a celebrated as a mark of Lord Krishna Killing Narakasura.<br />
In Dusavataar, Krishnavathaar comes after Raamavathaar.</p>
<p>So, Lord Rama would not have celebrated the Diwali At all!</p>
<p><strong>Question 5:</strong> The interviewer asked to the candidate &#8220;This is your last question of the interview.<br />
Please tell me the exact position of the center of this table where u have kept your files.&#8221;</p>
<p>Candidate confidently put one of his finger at some point at the table and told that this was the central point at the table.<br />
Interviewer asked how did u get to know that this being the central point of this table,<br />
then he answers quickly that sir u r not likely to ask any more question, as it was the last question that u promised to ask&#8230;..</p>
<p>And hence, he was selected as because of his quick-wittedness. &#8230;&#8230;..</p>
<p>This is What Interviewer expects from the Interviewee. &#8230;.</p>
<p>&#8220;THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here are some very interesting facts about Warren Buffet:</p>
<p>1. He bought his first share at age 11 and he now regrets that he started too late!</p>
<p>2. He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from delivering newspapers.</p>
<p>3. He still lives in the same small 3-bedroom house in mid-town Omaha that he bought after he got married 50 years ago. He says that he has everything he needs in that house. His house does not have a wall or a fence.</p>
<p>4. He drives his own car everywhere and does not have a driver or security people around him.</p>
<p>5. He never travels by private jet, although he owns the world’s largest private jet company.</p>
<p>6. His company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns 63 companies. He writes only one letter each year to the CEOs of these companies, giving them goals for the year. He never holds meetings or calls them on a regular basis.  He has given his CEO’s only two rules. </p>
<p>Rule number 1: do not lose any of your share holder’s money.<br />
Rule number 2: Do not forget rule number 1.</p>
<p>7. He does not socialize with the high society crowd. His past time after he gets home is to make himself some popcorn and watch Television.</p>
<p>8. Bill Gates, the world’s richest man met him for the first time only 5 years ago. Bill Gates did not think he had anything in common with Warren Buffet. So he had scheduled his meeting only for half hour. But when Gates met him, the meeting lasted for ten hours and Bill Gates became a devotee of Warren Buffet.</p>
<p>9. Warren Buffet does not carry a cell phone, nor has a computer on his desk.</p>
<p>His advice to young people:</p>
<ol>
<li>Money doesn’t create man but it is the man who created money.</li>
<li>Live your life as simple as you is.</li>
<li>Don’t do what others say, just listen to them, but do what you feel good.</li>
<li>Don’t go on brand names; just wear those things in which u feel comfortable.</li>
<li>Don’t waste your money on unnecessary things; just spend them on who are really in need, rather.</li>
</ol>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Continued…</p>
<p>Many people believe that media attention and commercial interest on cricket has adversely affected other sports in India. Cricket is religion in India and is followed with keen interest everywhere in India. With so much following and with so much interest how can media ignore it. In the pre world cup victory days there was not so much interest and following of cricket in India but after the word cup triumph everything changed, cricket gained in popularity and the performance of Indian Cricket team was followed by keen interest so it was perfectly justified for media to cover thoroughly.</p>
<p>With advent of electronic media and with presence of so many sports and news channel the time space given to cricket increased. We cannot blame media for covering so much of cricket as people in India generally liked it. If people in India had followed even 50% of any other sports like they follow cricket, media would have covered that too.</p>
<p>Some sports federation in India complain that their sport is not adequately covered or not many business houses come up to help them, that may have some justification but then again fault lies with other sports federation. They have not shown positive results which would have made people interested in that sport and as such with lack of interest shown by the people media also fails to cover it adequately.</p>
<p>In this liberalized world more people in India follow EPL then Indian football. People today can easily differentiate between the standard of football in India with that of other countries as people can watch live coverage of these would class games than why they should be interested in seeing the sub-standard Indian football. Electronic media is showing both these games but most people want to see the foreign league so why blame media.</p>
<p> People interest in cricket is derived from its good standing in world cricket. If India would not perform so well internationally then people would have lost some interest in it and so much of media would not have covered it so much. Today media rights (television) for cricket are sold for millions of dollars due to its popularity but TV rights for most other sports have no takers in India. </p>
<p>Media can play some limited part in popularizing a particular sport but the onus popularizing a sport lies mainly with the body that governs the sport so how can one blame media and commercial houses.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is often said that due to so much importance given to cricket other sports are suffering in India. </p>
<p><img src="http://www.hinduonnet.com/tss/tss2725/images/20040619007307901.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>It’s not only wrong but also wishful thinking. It is not correct to say that cricket has prospered at the expenses of other sports in India. Most Sports body in India are controlled by the Government like Hockey etc or by some individual perpetually like tennis.</p>
<p>Cricket in India is governed by BCCI which is not a government body. It is more or less a democratic set up with forward looking people controlling it.</p>
<p>Why has cricket prospered in India? Why is it so popular? Why are advertisers vying to advertise their product through cricket? To answer these questions we have to go back to 1983 – when India won the Prudential World Cup. It was the turning point for cricket in India. As the fate of other sports like Hockey started to look bleak (India won the only world cup in 1975) after total dominance in 40’s to 60’s, cricket triumph in 1983 World Cup came as a pleasant surprise. It is after this world cup triumphant Cricket started to gain popularity. If BCCI would not have capitalized on this success than te fate of cricket would also been just like some otter sports. BCCI was quick to gauge the mood of the nation and started to build the infrastructure (like new stadiums, floodlights etc) that took cricket to another level. Unlike other sports where sportsmen were paid peanuts BCCI slowly but surely paid their players adequately so much so that now Indian Players are amongst highest paid players in the World &#8212;&#8211; and Why Not? It is because of them that BCCI is earning so much and why won’t they get their share of the pie.</p>
<p>If other sports federation cannot operate probably cannot compete internationally ot if they cannot pay their players adequately, it is not the fault of Cricket. It is there drawback if they cannot operate professionally and make there sports popular amongst Indians. Who stops them to operate professionally, who stops them to win allocades for India – certainly not cricket. Instead of blaming cricket they should try and take a leaf out of cricket’s success. Most of the sports body is being run by the whims and fancies of their head without an iota of professionalism. Today India is as market economy, money follows success. First show the results and then one gets the money which again go a long way in sustaining the success, this is a vicious circle. Monsey in cricket has come only after the world cup triumph but it was also very important at that point of time to en-cash this success. After winning so many gold medals in Hockey why is it in such a bad taste &#8212; because due to lack of foresightedness and unprofessional attitude of there federation they could not en-cash their success. Why blame others for your impotentness.</p>
<p>Even if sportsman who earns laurels for their country in other sports earn next to nothing, is it because of cricket &#8212; certainly not. BCCI pays from its own resources and other sports should build their own resources too. You can’t force people to play or watch any sport. They watch or play cricket because today India has some standing in world Cricket. Due to success of cricket it has virtually become religion in India. It is aptly said that one gets what one deserves and Cricket certainly deserves all the Success.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just read straight through, and you&#8217;ll get the point, an awesome one. &#8230;..</p>
<p>Take this quiz:<br />
1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.<br />
2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.<br />
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America contest.<br />
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.<br />
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor actress.<br />
6. Name the last decade&#8217;s worth of World Series winners.</p>
<p>How did you do?</p>
<p><font color="red">The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.</font></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s another quiz. See how you do on this one:<br />
1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.<br />
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.<br />
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.<br />
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel, appreciated and special.<br />
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.<br />
6. Name half a dozen heroes whose stories have inspired you. Easier?</p>
<p><font color="red"><b>The lesson:</b> The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care. Pass this on to those people who have made a difference in your life. </font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A webpage loading time basically depends on four major things – server side processing, client to server communication, size of the data to be downloaded and rendering time. However this blog post will focus on latter 2 – minimizing the size of the data to be downloaded and reducing browser rendering time.</p>
<p>Here are some tips that will help you:</p>
<ol>
<li style="color:#FF7500; font-size:16px; font-weight:bold;">Analyze the performance of your page</li>
<p>First of all analyze the performance of your webpage through a free online tool. It will help you with some performance analytics and also offer advice on how to improve your webpage’s loading time.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/" style="font-weight:bold;">Web Page Analyzer</a> at WebsiteOptimization.com</p>
<li style="color:#FF7500; font-size:16px; font-weight:bold;">Some obvious optimizations</li>
<p><strong>Remove everything you don’t necessarily need</strong>. Start with thise silly widgets, scripts and content you don’t need. After this you will see a miraculous improvement.</p>
<p><strong>Use external files for reusable codes</strong>: If you are using CSS and Javascript which are being used in one or more page then put that into an external file. This will help your browser to cache those files instead of reading each of then every time the page loads.</p>
<li style="color:#FF7500; font-size:16px; font-weight:bold;">Use CSS and Valid XHTML code</li>
<p><strong>Avoid table based layouts</strong>. This will probably help you the most in browser rendering time. In order to render a table correctly the browser has read the complete data of the table from start to end and thus tables with lot of data will increase the loading time of your page. You can avoid this by using table less layouts with CSS.</p>
<p><strong>Ordered Source Code</strong>. Ordering the source code of your webpage is very useful and at the same time easy technique involving the important part  like navigation and content load and display first, leaving the less important part like footer and ads for last. A page like this is also considered good for search engine bots and may even result in better rankings in search engines.</p>
<li style="color:#FF7500; font-size:16px; font-weight:bold;">Validate CSS and HTML</li>
<p>Its very important that you <strong>write a valid HTML and CSS code</strong>. This will eliminate the need for browser error correction and thus speed up the rendering time. You can use W3C validator to check your webpage for any code formatting errors.</p>
<li style="color:#FF7500; font-size:16px; font-weight:bold;">Speed up Image load time</li>
<p>First of all <strong>remove the unwanted images</strong> from your webpage. This is a very obvious tip but sometimes the hardest thing to do.</p>
<p><strong>Use height and width tags</strong>. Its important that use specify the height  and width attributes of each and every image of your webpage. This will help the browser to render the image faster as there is no need for the browser each images data and determine its size. And also the page layout will not change as the images load.</p>
<li style="color:#FF7500; font-size:16px; font-weight:bold;">Compress Your Codes.</li>
<p>Just like any other code CSS and JavaScript can effect your bandwidth especially for complex websites. This will help in reducing the size by 75%  which can be a great performance boost. But keep the original files intact and achieved because most compression tools are one way solutions. Here are some of the tools.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><font size="6"><u>Do&#8217;s</u></font></strong></p>
<p><strong>Review your posts before publishing them:</strong> Very often when I read my blog post again, I find mistakes and have to go back and correct them.</p>
<p><strong>Encourage Participation:</strong> Always try and involve your blog reader by encouraging them to participate in your blog through comments or introducing some kind of polls.</p>
<p><strong>Comment on other blogs:</strong> This will help you know other Bloggers and in addition to this will help you with some traffic for your blog.</p>
<p><strong>Regularly posting:</strong> Its important that you maintain a posting frequency and try and stick to it.</p>
<p><strong>Just be yourself:</strong> Remember its your blog and it should reflect you. Write your views, be boring, be unpredictable but just be yourself.</p>
<p><strong><font size="6"><u>Don’ts</u></font></strong></p>
<p><strong>Don’t copy:</strong> As mentioned earlier try and mention your views on your blog but if there is something that you have copied from some other blog or site don’t forget to give them the credit.</p>
<p><strong>Ignoring Users:</strong> Never ignore your user, try and respond to all of them.</p>
<p><strong>Don’t Promote site/products you are not sure of:</strong> Trust is something that takes time to build and you surely do not want your readers to loose it by reviewing some site and product that you are not sure of.</p>
<p><strong>Add lot of widgets:</strong> Don’t add lot of widgets on your blog. This will increase the loading time of your blog and may get frustrating for your readers.</p>
<p><strong>Don’t Give up:</strong> Blogging is not as easy as it seems to be. Its something that will take some time. Just take care of it, nurture it, feed it regularly and it will bear fruits. And for all these all you need is staying motivated. Remember when going gets tough, tough gets going. </p>
