unneees beees ... :o)

Just wanted to put it on record that in business dealings in India, whenever there are interactions with semi-proffesional vendors, the most overused and probably abused words is "unees bees".

Whenever we have a requirement, we go across and take great pains to explain exactly what we have in mind to the person. And the person strikes back with his deadly weopon ...

"sir jee, unees bees to hotaa hi hai."

Its not all bad though. Somehow we have built in these words into our lingo as well. Its kind of fun to say "unees bees karke aage badho", which essentially means stop worrying about nitty-gritties and move forward.

Just reflecting on it, "unees bees" stands for the philosophy of rapid action. Rather than waiting for something to get absolutely perfect, you roll on and quickly make modifications as you move forward. Absolutely fitting for a startup.

How can Businessmen be perfect? they turn and twist just like jalebis.. everywhere there is just one word-"PROFIT".... MERE LIYE USME KYA HAI.. Though there are some ppl who are quite different.. 99.99% remain the same.. the 0.01% suffer losses.. sticking to values is not on wat business works in the end all of them end up doing Unees Beees.. as u have entered this world try not doing any unnees beees .. cause where theres a will there are 500 ways..Think think and break Mind-sets..
How can light and darkness live together? how can God and devil agree?
