Quote collections

Wednesday, November 29th, 2006

Just been out and about collecting quotes again…
Here are just a few to share

Louise Nevelson
Art is everywhere, except it has to pass through a creative mind.

Edmond and Jules De Goncourt
A painting in a museum probably hears more foolish remarks than anything else in the world.

William A. Ward
Before you speak, listen. Before you write, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you invest, investigate. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try. Before you retire, save. Before you die, give.

A bad day at the Amazon

Tuesday, November 21st, 2006

This came to me in an e-mail

An explorer in the deepest Amazon suddenly found himself surrounded by a bloodthirsty group of natives. Upon surveying the situation, he said quietly to himself, “Oh God, I’m screwed.”

A ray of light fell from the sky and a voice boomed out, “No, you are not screwed. Pick up that stone at your feet and bash in the head of the chief standing in front of you.”

So the explorer picked up the stone and proceeded to bash the life out of the chief. He stood above the lifeless body, breathing heavily, surrounded by 100 natives with looks of shock on their faces.

The voice boomed out again, “Okay, NOW you’re screwed!”

” A satirical spin of an old fable in a globalized world”

Hello Sir, How are you doing today?

Today thousand of faceless Deans compete on a global scale for a single sale as telemarketers in the outsourcing call centers of India..

This is Ali’s story

He is young and ambitious. As a result he ends up trapped in an insidious call centre doing someone’s bidding. he operates from a tiny cubicle in the heart of mumbai, trying to convince apathetic Americans to purchase his wares. Constantly, he lies to make every sale. Slowly he loses all that he cherishes and this ignites the struggle with his conscience to do right thing.

Is he a modern day cooli or a global young executive destined for success?

TICKETS ON SALE NOW!
