This is fcuking hilarious..!!
Thanks to Chikita and originally to Ryan Deal !!
King Ryan says "Ahh… the friend zone. It’s pretty much nowhere near where you want to be with any girl you actually like. Being in the friend zone can keep you from the love of your life or at least from possibly some of the best sex you’ve ever had. Here’s a handy chart that shows you exactly where the friend zone is… so you can avoid it."
But there is more to it... look carefully! Like.. null set!!!

First look.. Last glance?!
I might soon be saying 'au revoir' to this lovely city... Never imagined my love story will come to an end so soon.... I had grown so comfortable in its arms.... But its probably time.... to say goodbye.. till we meet again.... Take care my sweet heart...

I am a micro lender..!
I made my first microfinance loan today!!
I came to know about Kiva when I attend the TiE conference last month. [TiE - The Indus Entrepreneurs). Premal Shah, who is the president of Kiva, was one of the winners of the top 50 startups award at the conference. And he was also one of the speakers on social entrepreneurship. Man, you should hear him speak... he just is so simple and sincere and straight-from-the-heart and obviously, his presentation touched, and inspired me.
Kiva - the world's first person-to-person micro-lending website, empowering individuals to lend directly to unique entrepreneurs around the globe.
Of course, I got in touch with him right away and it helped that we had a couple of common friends. Well.. thats how Kiva started for me. And I wanted to lend on Kiva, but somehow did not get to it... Until today that is!
I got the tweet last week about a mixer organized by Kiva and the Good magazine in the city. And I decided to attend that. I marked my calendars and worked through a couple of things - one of them being that I should be a lender before I attend the party!!
Of course.. it is fun partying... and if I can mix partying with doing good... Wow! what can beat that?!?!
The party was today (Tuesday) and it was great, but that is another post! This post is about Kiva. And Kiva is cool!!! Check it out!!

Learning from a Fishing Expedition!
The best con — one where everyone gets what they want even if they didn’t know they wanted it!!!
The Brothers Bloom
-----------------------------------
- You need to expend positive vibes during fishing...
- Surround yourself with folks that are better than yourself.. of course, they should not be better at fishing!
-- when going fishing, take with you someone (like 'wingman') that can enhance the energy & can work the waters for ya
- Have three questions to ask the fishes and fellas - simple questions you can fall back on (e.g. is the water good?)
- Keep it simple and genuine
-- compliment the fish
-- appreciate the work of art (every fish is unique and is a work of art!)
-- use positive reinforcement :-)
- IF you think the fish is better than you, then go out of your way to be useful for the fish.. go out of your comfort zone!! (Jump into the water ;-)
