Thackeray gone mad

Has this guy gone mad or what? What in the TV I saw that MNS workers were beating up hapless taxi guys and hawkers of North Indian origin. Now what is the rationality behind that? Can't any Indian coming from other states reside in here peacefully?

Raj Thackeray has the objection, that people of North India celebrate their festival here. Now balls, what the difference doest it make to him. Are those guys harming him or any other Marathis is any way. And if he is so concerned they why doesn't his men bash up many North Indian goons residing in Mumbai.

His other objection is North Indians are taking up jobs of Marathis. Come on man this is the age of survival of fittest. Those who has skill and talent will survive or they will go down the drain.

There are many instances of Indians residing in Britain, US of A, Australia etc facing racism, or local people harassing them. Now when people in our country are facing music when shifting to some other states, then what kind of decency we can expect from people of other countries. Indians residing in other countries, support INDIA whenever our national cricket team goes on tour to that country, then according to Mr. Raj Thackeray this is wrong. Indians should support England or Australia according to him. And if they don’t, locals should go and beat them. Am I correct Mr. Raj

GROW UP INDIA GROW UP!!!!!

Calling "Sir"

Well I am an engineer graduate and I have worked through couple of engineering companies. One of the traditional things, which I have seen and hate the most in these engineering companies is that you have to call your boss as "sir". Now what the hell is that? Are you knighted or what?

I have heard in some IT and ITes companies, most of them have policy that employees should not call their next seniors as "sir", which I appreciate. Once I had a written a mail to G. M of my company and in salutation I had written Mr. Xyz instead of Mr. Xyz sir. Damn!! I came to know he got agitated because of my email, and complained to our M. D that I am arrogant, aggressive and what not.

We are servants or what that we have to call you "sir". Respect should be earned not be forcefully taken. And just calling someone "sir" doest means that you respect him or her.

And if you call your boss by first name that tends to make your relationship with your boss more close and you can share your problems with him openly.
