This article was first published as an Offshoring Weblog from India on a global technology knowledge sharing website where the author's weblog identification number was 13. Better Beware. The Ides Of March. And that also on a Mid-Month 15th-March Monday. The day some of us have fixed dates with our hated tax collectors ! Yesterday, March 15th associated with the ides of March, was the day Julius Caesar was assassinated in the senate, in 44 BC in Rome. From a link, I quote : In Act one, Scene two of Julius Caesar, Caesar asks a soothsayer what the future holds. Caesar: Who is it in the press that calls on me? |
I hear a tongue, shriller than all the music Cry "Caesar!" Speak. Caesar is turn'd to hear. Soothsayer: Beware the ides of March. Yesterday was also the day when the Ides of March mutiliated Mumbai's Stock Markets which had the biggest one-day fall in the last 3 years. Interestingly, even the Dow in New York slid sharply, a few time zones later. Manhattan Mimmicking Mumbai ? Indeed Interesting. Some of my 'Unsafe' (Country, Company, Job Not Safe) Articles have not been liked by some. Or have they been perhaps paranoid ? Instead, in our work, could we please be Passionoid ? (Passionate Plus Paranoid). That would surely help us in our careers at all times. During Ups and Downs. Sometimes, like Caesar's reply to the soothsayer above, even though it may be risky to dream, perhaps it can act as an Eternal Internal Insourcing Innovation Insurance in our daily jobs. And keeps us away from silly superstitions such as yesterday's date. |
Am I superstitious ? May Be. Can you guess what is my Blog Identification Number on this website ? 13. Have I been unlucky for some of you ? Do let me know, coolly. Without the flames. Mumbai is already too hot. ![]() |
