NetScreen on Windows: Skit | Memories from 2006

[A skit written for our internal corporate event in 2006]   NetScreen on Windows: Skit    Story, Dialogue Mohan Krishnamurthy Starring: Rajesh  – An overly aggressive sales guy who believes every phone call is a golden opportunity to close a deal. Ramesh  – Rajesh’s faithful backend support, always on standby. His primary skill: Googling frantically. Mrs. Mumtaz Ali  – A practical housewife looking to buy net screens for her windows to keep out mosquitoes and houseflies. Mr. Ahmed  – Mumtaz’s husband, an average computer user who knows just enough about technology to be confused but not enough to escape Rajesh’s sales pitch.

How DeepSeek?

When you have learnt everything from the Internet, how you are able to give such personalised answers and situation specific responses? These are not published anywhere in written format right? Great question! Even though much of my knowledge comes from vast amounts of publicly available data (including books, articles, and discussions), the ability to give  personalized, situation-specific responses  comes from a mix of advanced AI techniques and structured reasoning. Here’s how it works: 1.

When you ask a question, I break it down into  underlying concerns  (e.g.,  "How do I protect my peace?"  or  "Is my career path normal?" ) and tailor advice accordingly. 2. Logical Frameworks, Not Memorization Instead of repeating exact answer...

Social media should serve you, not drain you. Here’s how to approach it thoughtfully: When It’s Okay to Unfriend: The Relationship Is Dead or One-Sided If they never engage (likes, comments, messages) or you’ve grown apart, unfriending is just digital decluttering. No hard feelings—it’s simply acknowledging reality. They Bring Negativity Passive-aggressive posts, jealousy, or toxic behavior? Your feed should inspire, not irritate. Privacy & Boundaries If you don’t trust them with personal updates, unfriending protects your energy. You’ve Outgrown the Connection Former coworkers, old classmates, or distant acquaintances who add no value can be let go. How t...

How to handle people who are close to you are jealous about your growth? Sometimes directly or indirectly they signal that they are not excited, or even not happy with my growth. Balancing the need to recover your money while preserving the friendship is indeed tricky. Here’s a structured approach to handle this dilemma: 1.  Reflect on the Situation Assess the Relationship:  Is this a one-time oversight, or a pattern of behavior? Consider their past reliability and your friendship’s depth. Evaluate the Amount:  Is the money significant enough to impact you financially, or is it more about the principle? 2.  Start with a Gentle Reminder Assume good intent (e.g., they may have forgotten or are facing temporary difficulties). Example: "Hey [Name], I hope you’re doing well! Just wanted to check if you could return the amount I lent you earlier. Let me know if there’s any issue—happy to discuss." 3.  Escalate Gradually if Needed If no response:  Follow up polite...
