The next episode is going to be Indicast’s 25th production and so we are hyping it bit by getting a very interesting guest on the show. We have had celebrities and other guests on our show but none like this person. He has a simple BA degree but is considered a managment guru by the likes of Harvard, IIMs, ISB, LSB etc.

He heads an organization that provides customer satisfaction and has operational efficiencies that all fortune 500 companies desire but never achieve. His employees are semi literate yet have exceeded all six sigma and ISO standards. Any guess about the organzations I am referring to?

The “CEO” of this organization spared a few hours last sunday to talk to us. Almost the entire podcast is in hindi but for people who dont understand hindi ask your Indian colleagues to tell you about it.

So behold for Indicast’s 25th episode. Releasing on 3rd July, 2006

We are back after a long time. Blame it on my laptop which completed its 5th Anniversary and I had to gift it with a new Hard Disk and adorn it with a few accessories. Yeah, it was a costly affair, but, what the heck? We are back! Thank you for all the comments and the patience!

“I am a cheerleader, I am a promoter, I am a salesman, I am a debt collector, I am a father confessor and there are other aspects I still have to discover,” Annan has said in describing his job. Will Shashi Tharoor join the select few from across the globe to head the most important post in the United Nations? We, at Indicast root for him.

Also, Bollywood doesnt stop amazing us especially when its an item girl. When Rakhee did it to a girl, it’s a kiss. When Mika does it to Rakhi, it’s blasphemy! We try to get our minds to decipher this anamoly.

I love it when when we talk on topic as diverse as the ones we covered today. Also to spice it up a bit check out this Rakhi Sawant interview on YouTube. I love the reason she gives for being an item girl. “Mujhe Gaana Pasand hain na”.

Episode Notes:

• Rakhi gets kissed and Mika gets sued. We wonder, whoz the lucky one?
• What does it take to head the most influencial post at the United Nations
• Shashi Tharoor, India’s nominee to the top job in UN
• I bet on Argentina and Abhishek has put his money on Germany. Who do you think will emerge as the world champions?
• A glamourous NGO called Shiksha

We also have the most cliched contest going on at Indicast, predict who is going to lift the football word cup this time and we will send you an indicast t-shirt (seriously). This is the first time we are trying something like this so lets see how you guys respond to it. Type in your entry in the comments section.

Yours Internetally,
Aditya

Here is another “we are sorry” post from Indicast. Abhishek’s 5 year old IBM thinkpad has been acting up a bit and is having problems booting it up. He has tried everything from formatting the machine to getting a new hard drive. But abhishek can’t still get it up (I mean his laptop).

But we’ll definitely try to have a new episode for you by the end of this week or probably early next week. until then we hope you are enjoying the football world cup.
