Billionaire Gas-station attendant or Steel $19 Billion ?


Ok so the title is a little diseasing... but both statements make perfect sense...

Lets talk about the second one first... Steel $19 Bn.... sounds tempting ha ?? Well think again.. Only so much in life is that easy... That was the amount made last year by a certain Steel Mogul.. This is a little story about a man with a long term vision and an emense amount of patience.. I'm sure many of you have heard of Lakshmi Mittal... owner and CEO of the world's largest steel company Mittal Steel; ranking him on the worlds top Billionaires list.. now what intrigues me about this innovative man is his ability to foresee fortune and the extraordinary $19 Billion Year ... Mittal's actual net worth is over $23.5 Bn..
He spent $60 million on his daughters wedding.. Giving her day a little more than any regular Fairytale wedding.


Why should you always be nice to the person that fills up ur tank at the gas station ?

Firstly, it's good manners.
Secondly, no matter how limited their jobs may seem, they also have ambition and dreams.. And you gotta respect a person that can pump ur gas and is silently planning for a huge enterprise while waiting for the tank to fill up.. an enterprise like Reliance Industries Limited.


Reliance Industries Limited is India's largest private sector company with a turnover of 744 billion rupees (US$16.7 billion) for the fiscal year ending in March 2004. It was founded by Dhirubhai Ambani in the 1970's.

Allah ehaneehom and I hope we see more innovative and rising companies in this region too :)

DiiGMaa’s Behavioral Naturalistic Observation Study: To Pee or Not To Pee !!!

Introduction
I think I'm probably the most accident prone person in the world... al 7amdilla I've never had a car accident *coz I'm a great driver* a7im a7im ... actually correction.. *I'm a mad driver*... but I'm the type of person that walks into walls.. trips over herself... don't get me wrong.. I'm no klutz or clumsy old chap.. but I have ZERO sense of observation.. so things tend to happen to me.. and when they do they happen big.. or cause a domino affect and lead to even more embarrassment.. so much so that I have become immune to embarrassment.. block all existence and walk on like nothing happened... So all in all.. I'm the epitome of Murphy's Law... If something's gonna go wrong it's gonna go wrong aaaaaaannnnddd at the wrong time !!

Caution:
if you read on, you will be in for further confusion..
Now.. as I am an extreme in everything.. there is Good that comes with my Murphyism.. I'm a good luck charm... I'm one of those ppl that has a vivid aura beaming positive energy all the time.. wherever I go wherever I am... (I'm only Goobusa to myself :P) so I'm not imde7ing myself... It's a fact !!! Seriously !!

Method
The Vairiables

U know how if you have a bad hair day ur mood accompanies it ?
well today was the perfect hair day for me... PERFECT I tell you !!
It looked healthy, shiny, full of body and full of life and just did it's own flirting with every move I made... aaaaaahhhhh absolute bliss...

Independent Variable (v1) = Great Hair
Dependant Variable (v2) = Mood

The Hypothesis
I thought to myself... today is the day !!
there was nothing.. or no one.. in the world that could make me feel a tad less than Happy !! I was just on such a high coz my Hair Loooookkkeedd Gorgeous !!


Apparatus/Design/Procedure

I was heading to the airport to meet family and wait for mums flight to arrive...
at the traffic light... they were selling Gold fish... I bought Gold fish for the kids... (I was in such a good mood I coulda bought a jar of sand at any price)
I was speeding.. and trying to keep as much water in the tiny tank as I could..
I decided to place it on my lap for stability..
at airport parking the car ahead of me kept halting suddenly and hence the water in the tank was sadly lessening..
I found parking and parked..
I stood out of the car and I looked at the water patch on my jeans and top...
Yes it was evident... so very very obvious !!!
I looked like I had Just peed on myself !


I enter the airport walk casually with beautifully flowy hair... and what seemed to be a hard not to notice pee patch !!
I did nothing to even try to cover it up... I kept strolling... shopped in Virgin and Boots...
mum arrived
went back home !

No one noticed the pee !!

DouBLe DinG

It was a slow and quiet Thursday afternoon and Tinkerbell’s poor sister was ordered to stay in bed all day… so DiiGMaa headed to keep the Tink’s company…

This is a few things said and done during the course of the day:

iM6aBaG iZBaiDy:
So we’re having lunch and Tinks was trying to be all nice and tanchebly but when she came to cut me a piece of zbaidy..

DiiGMaa: “fee a7aad egi9 ismichaa bil6ool” (no seriously she did that :P)

On The Bed:
A bunch of girls on one bed talking about lost, dp and prison break and DiiGMaa and Tinks over do the whole enthusiasm on prison break

DiiGMaa: “eye candy
Tinks: “He’s so HOT that you’d ORG just by seeing him”


On The Sofa:

While Tinks’ sis is taking a nap DiiGMaa and Tinks get a chance to catch up on each other’s lives

DiiGMaa: “he’s the love of my life… I’ve never been happier… he’s everything and more… but there’s only one problem… !!
Tinks: “ he’s Married? Has a girlfriend? Gay? No future? Missing an important organ ? (this should say what he’s missing lol)
DiiGMaa: “hell no !! I wouldn’t of even considered if so… he’s… he’s… we’ll… He’s a figment of my imagination”
Tinks looks all worried tried to move away but DiiGMaa’s too close after a few moments of looking at each other:
Tinks: “Seriously you are really scaring me !! Take a few steps back ! seriously !! I’m scared !”


Tinks: “well i have something i wana do to michael scowfield but i could never say it unless it's online”

DiiGMaa: “what?”
Tinks: “i just wana gaaag on that!”

With Tinks Bro:
DiiGMaa: “wainik ?”
Tinks Bro: “I’m entering the area now.. I take it u guys want me to go to the Jam3iya.. ok I’ll head there now”
DiiGMaa: “no we were just wondering where u went”
Tink’s Bro: “I’ll call you when I’m there”
DiiGMaa: “ur bro is asking what you want”
Tinks: “popcorn! Oh oh Doritos! Oh and carbudry! with nuts!”
DiiGMaa: “lion bar! and m&ms! with nuts! Oh oh and Pringles! and and sweeeeeeeeeets!”

iN The JaM3iYa:
Since all men are useless when it comes to running errands Tinks’ Bro calls to ask what we want AGAIN:

Tinks’ Bro: “ tell Tinks they have Locker”
DiiGMaa: “Hooker?”
Tinks’ Bro: “Locker!”
DiiGMaa: “Tinks ur bro’s asking if u want a hooker”
Tinks: “they have hookers?!”
Tinks’ Bro: “give me that little bitch!”
DiiGMaa hands the phone to Tinks
Tinks’ Bro
to Tinks: “u want the blue one?”
Tinks: “they have blue hookers? Mako red??”
DiiGMaa: “Hookers! i want!”

RaNDoMs:
Tinks: "7ada Baaaaaaaarrrrrrfffff !!"
DiiGMaa: "Horrid !!"
Tinks:
"Hoooooorrid" (mi7tara ma 3indihaa British accent)
DiiGMaa: "iL eMRaaaayKaaan" (in a 3ayooza accent)
Tinks: "abeeee ily ta7at"
DiiGMaa: “My mouth Salivated Just Thinking of it.. oooh baby”

SuGaR HiGh:
Sooooo after a few bites of candy DiiGMaa starts dancing ALL over the place laughing hystarically and hardly making any sense then the two of us start singing “I’m a little tea pot”:

Tinks: “when I was a kid I used to think the line from the little tea pot song that goes "when i get all steamed up i just shout" but now I can’t remember the words so I just say “when I get tipsy I just shout!”
DiiGMaa: “oooooh really ?? when you get steamed up you like to shout ha ??”

Playing M.A.S.H:
Tinks: “why am I hooked on Prostitute slash Hooker?"
DiiGMaa: “ I think I’ld like to work as a stripper once in my lifetime”

Breaking My Silence

Inspired by No3ik's post: See the sun


I've been questioned by many dear friends and readers for the reason of my sudden lack of posting.. At first I would make up excuses.. I traveled.. I got back.. I got buzy.. I'm lazy.. which all had a significant attribution to my "silent mode".. but then I came to the realization that I am merely lost.. lost for words.. no words or language could express what I had to say.. a few more days went by and still no post... no sign of DiiGMaa..

She was gone... Secluded herself in the sanctuary of her empty lonesome home and disappeared.. She stopped going out.. stopped answering calls and was just LOST..

Not that I don't have anything to say.. bil3ax, regardless of the many posys that I have decided to save as drafts rather than post them, I finally found what it was that I've been unconcsiously trying to say.. I've been trying to hold it in for too long... almost a year has passed and still I smile and act like the strong woman erevyone tells me they want to be like..

I still have nightmares about it.. They haunt me even when I'm awake.. we still haven't moved.. and the memory of him in every room of the house kills me..

I found the words that I want to say:
You never had a bite of the cake I got you on your 27th birthday.. just 2 days before you died... in my arms...


I miss my childhood friend, my mentor, my protector, my flesh and blood... I miss my brother...



P.S. thanx No3ik
