Feeling Depressed? Have a heart-break.....

So, what does a heart break have to do with happiness..........?

Bad experiences make a person even stronger and the worst situations bring the real person out of you.

How many of you have heard this before? Most of you would probably have heard about how people turn out to be more mature and wiser when they go through bad situations. Personally, even I have experienced the same and I would never hesitate to say that it was good to have such a bad experience in my life. I have learned a lot and I always make sure that never to do any such mistake again. Regretting something that you have done, is not the way to go with it. Acceptance is what is needed. We need to accept the fact that we were wrong and we need to improve. Acceptance of such a fact, is what a real person should do. People tend to understand the facts if told in a language that is more familiar to them, so here is an example of what I want to convey:

How about the Shahid-Kareena break-up? Or how about Steve Jobs on the failure of leading Apple to become the best software industry? No doubt, we see that
Shahid
and Kareena are superstars now and no doubt that we consider Apple as one of the top companies in the I.T. industry. Had it not been the arrogance of Steve Jobs, some 20 years back, we would have seen Apple everywhere, instead of Microsoft. Apple was the first company to think of GUI Operating System. But Bill Gates was a visionary and not to mention a cruel businessman! For better understanding of the last few lines, I would request you to go through the autobiography of Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs Thus, I want to say that, failures does not always mean that we have failed in everything that we did. Neither do we need to blame everything on time or situation. We need to understand the fact that we need to learn more and more things and separate the wrong from the right. Heart-breaks, though very painful can make us a more responsible and sensible person. I would not recommend you to break-up your relationship, just to experience it. But, as the statistics say, 90% people have had a heart-break in their life, no matter what! Now, considering that in my mind, I would assume that, whoever is reading this must have had a heart-break. Otherwise, you would not have read this topic.

So, go ahead...... ask yourself what you have learned and what you have missed. Be a better person by looking at your wrong side and analyze how it can be converted to good. So, are you feeling depressed? Have a heart-break buddy!!!!

Bikes for Status

So, we buy cars to for what? Status or is it a necessity. I feel, now-a-days, cars have become a necessity. Employees of various organizations now have the wealth and time to get a car. Well, I almost forgot, I was going to write about bikes. Bikes for me is an essential part of my life and also one of the most loved object in my life. A total bike freak, I would always prefer a sports-bike over cars. And recently, we are seeing lots of changes in Indian market about how bikes are branded and launched. Most bike manufacturers would like to sell their bike as one of the bikes which has "Good Looks and styling". The Bajaj PulsarMania commercial - a recent entry and definitely one of the commercials which set standards - was one of the best advertisements I have ever seen.

And now Ducati has launched itself in India.
Italy-based Ducati Motor Holding, one of the world's leading producer of racing motorcycles, has ventured into the Indian market with a full range of its premium bikes priced between Rs 15 lakh and Rs 50 lakh. But with a price tag of > 15 lakhs, its only for the creamy layer of the society. So, now, we also have bikes to show off our status.
