Real requirements versus virtual

How requirements differ in the real world and the virtual…

Offline Friends Required: One good one will do.
Online Friends Required: At least 1000 please!

Offline Mails: So nice to get a nice letter once in a while!
Online Mails: You’re a total non-entity if you don’t get at least 50 emails a day.

Offline Likes: Some appreciation once in a while will be appreciated.
Online Likes: What? I got 10 Facebook likes? I wanted 20!

Offline Followers: Hahaha, do you think you can get even one???
Online Followers: Ha! 1000 people follow me on Twitter!

Offline requirements for communication: Just the five simple senses will do.
Online requirements for communication: Desktop, laptop, mobile, any other gadget welcome and all require a great broadband connection and all are upgradeable frequently.

Ob-li-mey O-ba-ma

(Please sing to the tune of the Beatles’ O-bla-di, O-bla-da)

The Prez comes with a barrow in the Indian market place,
Manmohan is the leader of the land,
The Prez says to Manmohan “man let’s do business”,
And Manmohan shakes him firmly by the hand.

Ob-li-mey O-ba-ma, he’s the man O-ba-ma,
La-la how the paeans go on,
Ob-li-mey O-ba-ma, he’s the man O-ba-ma,
La-la how the paeans go on.

The Prez takes a trolley to the Indian stores,
And announces deals worth billions n billions,
Takes it back to Manmohan waiting at the Indian shores,
And as he gives it all the politicians sing…

Ob-li-mey O-ba-ma, he’s the man O-ba-ma,
La-la how the paeans go on,
Ob-li-mey O-ba-ma, he’s the man O-ba-ma,
La-la how the paeans go on.

In a couple of years they would have hoped to have built,
A home sweet home of business,
With a couple of dozen planes, turbines and N-plants,
And thousands of US jobs.
(Ah ha ha ha ha ha)

Ob-li-mey O-ba-ma, he’s the man O-ba-ma,
La-la how the paeans go on,
Ob-li-mey O-ba-ma, he’s the man O-ba-ma,
La-la how the paeans go on.

And if you want some fun,
Ob-li-mey O-ba-ma, he’s the man O-ba-ma.

TV Channels and the US President

(Please read in the spirit of “Blind men and the Elephant”)

A number of TV news channels came to see a US President. One was the first to click him stepping off the plane. It went running and screaming “Exclusive footage of the President’s feet landing on Indian soil.” Another got a side angle of his dancing wife: Exclusive No. 2. Another found out all about his favourite food while yet another about his views on some trivial issue that concerned no-one. Soon the number of exclusives ran into hundreds.

Meanwhile real issues that concerning the people of the land were all relegated firmly to the background as thousands of hours of TV footage and millions of viewers watched the spectacle of a president’s personal likes, dislikes, tourist visits, dance steps, political clichés and diet and no-one actually seemed to know what the actual political and economic ramifications were of such a visit…
