Hello everyone! Today we’re gonna have some fun with food testing! How many of you have served as a human available for food testing in some kind of laboratories? No? You haven’t? Well maybe you may have tested food for your friends or family members?
ARRIVAL OF GUESTS
Anyway let me explain our scenario over here: Few of our Managers are arriving from the UK office to visit us. Certain responsible persons are interested in making their stay a very comfortable and memorable one. Every arrangement has been made for their travel and accommodation. They expect the UK guests to eat and feel at home here in India. Nothing wrong about that you say? Well, what happens when you make all the arrangements but forget about the food part?...Ohhhh, now you got something to say!
SPICY OPTIONS…
India is well known for its spice rich gravy and Kerala for its thick Brown Rice, Porotta, Kappa and spicy Fish curry. As for the English, India is a country famous for its chikunguniya, malaria, viral fever and bird flu. So if you are in the Management and you sincerely want the English to feel at home, then the first thing you should do is ask them in advance what is the menu they would like to have so that arrangements can be made much prior to their arrival on the purchase and preparation of such menus. And after they have arrived you can provide them our exotic Indian dishes as a secondary option. That is called making them feel at home! They get their dishes first just like in their home in UK!
DUMPING
So what is the result you get when this basic strategy is overlooked and you end up with just few hours remaining before you greet your UK guests and you gotta get the food ready to make them feel at home? This is where these people come up with last minute options such as time wasting food testing steps. They ordered different types of junk food from the nearest fast food outlets and requested few employees to taste it and opine whether the English guests would like them or not. I mean for a usual junk food eating Indian, these foods were amazing! But when we put on the English shoes, trust me this is not the type of food you want to eat as you suddenly give importance to all the rules in the cooking book and ensure that your English guests are satisfied- less or no oil, good fry, less salt, etc:-. Sometimes I wonder why the same people who give us Indians food by breaking all these rules in the cook book work their heart out to provide the same food for foreigners by complying with all the rules. I have heard of Dumping- exporting best quality while retaining the rejected quality for the local market. I wonder what’s happening here man! So here is the small feedback I gave after testing the food. At least my honesty saved our British guests from a terrible stomach upset! An International Favor!

2. The Letter World in Word:
Are you fond of writing? Do you prefer traditional writing to typing? Are you one of those who just loves to use the pen to scribble so that in the end you still end up getting that special feeling that ‘you just used the little strength in your small fingers to hold a pen and wrote something on a paper’? (Hmmm.....even as I’m writing now, I wonder how many are not privileged to feel this little joy of scribbling....thank you Lord....and help them as well...).
OPPORTUNITY YELLS
Well, writing on slates, four line note books and finally in blank College note books are always fun and keeps your handwriting level to at least a minimum satisfactory level. But what happens when you get a chance to exploit your writing skills on your computer? Not only do you get options to choose the font size, colour, and styles which exist in the whole world, but you also get to enjoy a whole range of other options as well. You can write the entire letter without any major modifications in the beginning and then after you finish you can make use of the spell checker and automatically get your errors rectified. You can auto align the entire letter into paragraphs and add headers also. Different text colours and highlighters can also be used for any important sentence. Images can also be added your typed letter. This is best used for preparing resumes so that you can paste your passport size photograph. Links to websites can also be included so that the site can quickly be opened by just clicking on the particular link. In addition to all this you can also erase any text you require at any time which is very nice as you could not do all this while you were in your examination halls during those days when you used papers to write and ended up making the white paper look like it came out of the sewers with all those cut marks, corrections and un readable handwriting. Ugh!
WORD CHECK
But yes, this does come with few sacrifices as well- you don’t get to experience that little joy of writing which I mentioned above and you also have to pay a higher electricity bill as you would be spending more time in front of the computer in order to draft your perfect letter. Moreover please do take care to carefully read through your draft- the letter you just typed, many times before you print it out. Otherwise you may spot some errors and thus reprint which results in wastage of paper and further contribution to destruction of natural resources- cutting down of trees to print your paper!. And please spend less time in front your system as wasted time causes wastage of energy as well. So, effectively using this application definitely helps me create a perfect and neat letter which I have never even dreamt of. Creativity at my fingertips :)

CREATIVITY AT MY FINGERTIPS!!
It’s true!
Anything you create in your computer is creativity at your fingertips! I definitely don't have any specific qualification in either computers or creativity but considering the path of progress I have travelled through in my work profiles during the past few years, there really was something I have discovered- Creativity at my fingertips!
What did I discover?
1. Joy in Paint
2. The Letter World in Word
3. Magic by Excel
4. Pretty Folder Organization

This is my first post in Blog- on Tuesday, June 10 2008
Though I started my blog in October 2007, my first post in a blog was on Tuesday, June 10 2008.
My friend Manikuttan is a SEO. Now I know Ajay who is also a SEO. But Mani is a blogger and Ajay is a wishful blogger. Between them I am still trying to find out what to do as a Blogger though I am very much interested in writing and expressing my views on certain issues.
Why Blog?
Actually what is the exact purpose of a blog? It may be useful but who exactly benefits from a blog? Why do some SEO's ignore this particular chance to blog?
