Lads and Lasses,
Recently Yo Macha got featured in some newspapers. Thought it might just be exciting for all.
Hindustan Times (Mumbai) Coverage:

YoMacha in the Hindustan Times Mumbai Edition
And in Rajasthan Patrika (All Rajasthan)

Release in Rajasthan Patrika
Isn’t that exciting!!
Vande Mataram, Year 1947, and it meant so much more. Now, it is more or less reduced to a couple of proud Indians, fancy of film makers, ideal end to everlasting speech of promises from our leaders. This is not a post to crib about the current scenario, its a recall or a call for someone who would be our hero,again.
He got the Youth of India take notice and rise to the challenge, he would have to come back to do that all over again.
He said “I emphasise that I am full of ambition and hope and of full charm of life. But I can renounce all at the time of need, and that is the real sacrifice.“
““Revolution” does not merely mean an upheaval or a sanguinary strife – nor is there any place in it for individual vendetta. It is not the cult of the bomb and the pistol. Revolution necessarily implies the programme of systematic reconstruction of society on a new and better basis…..
…by “Revolution” we mean that the present order of things, which is based on manifest injustice, must change. The peasant who grows corn for all, starves with his family; the weaver who supplies the world market with textile fabrics, has not enough to cover his own and his children’s bodies; masons, smiths and carpenters who raise magnificent palaces, live like pariahs in the slums..
….the sense in which the word “Revolution” is used in that phrase, is the spirit, the longing for a change for the better. The people generally get accustomed to the established order of things and begin to tremble at the very idea of a change. It is this lethargical spirit that needs be replaced by the revolutionary spirit. Otherwise degeneration gains the upper hand and all of humanity is led astray by reactionary forces. Such a state of affairs leads to stagnation and paralysis in human progress…”
At an age, that I am at, now, he had the guts to walk in and inspire. He had the guts to scream “Inquilab Zindabad”. I wonder if there would ever be a Bhagat anymore, would in today’s world someone leave the fancies and comforts of day to day life to fight and die for this country? Would our Youth Leadership be more than the uneducated selfish bunch of politically supported parties, or would we soon see some one step up.
If I go by what this hero said, its time for a revolution.
Who will be the trigger this time. Me, you, the person next door, or would that take another chauri chora to happen? Don’t have the answers too? I wonder if I will find them soon, I wonder, if I would ever have the guts to do something like that. Would you have them?
Think. Maybe that is the beginning, to a glorious end. Maybe.

Ladies and Gentlemen.. Lads and Lasses.. hunks and babes.. all the cool and not so cool souls, it is time for another thank you speech (sob sob).
Crossed 1000 views for YoMacha.WordPress.Com (Clap Clap), made first few 1000 for the portal (Clap Clap Clap), have almost 1000 people working out of office (eight people out of our place is equal to 1000 people in an office), alexa ranking moved up (clap clap), Vandana’s computer is back to the department fixing computers (hope they can solve it, clap clap), Neeti changed her computer, bullied Varsha to use the one she was using, Varsha realized (What i had realised way back), that this one as well needs a repair (clap clap). Priyanshu, the new guy in the office is lost (clap clap). Amandeep and Snigdha completed their first days, they were quite surprised on the way our office is, hopefully they will come back (clap clap).
Our old friends don’t like us anymore, Mr. Microsoft does not come to our office, Mr. Akshay Patra is busy feeding others and have been ignoring us ever since, Mr. Beyond is trying hard to get some hair back, Mr. Himi has found someone in India, so is off to Delhi to see her. Mandu after realizing that she is our love has decided to play “judai” with us.
Overall, we are growing (age wise, health wise, traffic wise, people wise and otherwise). We think this blog should grow as well, thinking of starting a gossip section on the blog, what say?? Gossip about people and celebrities?? What do you think??
Do let know.
While misfortune has struck India, Bangalore, Ahemdabad and day three of bombing spread over the country, the YoMacha office prays for peace to the souls who are no longer between us, peace for the country, peace for the ones who have thought and executed the ugly act. May they realise what they have done, may almighty give them senses.
While above has shattered the country, we soon are gonna be hit by a cramped office. Hiring 4 new people will make the office cater to Eight people while the capacity is only 5. That’s as good as double the capacity.
Mandu is officially the love of our office with three out of four people in love with her (two of them are women, Sailor might like that). Mr. Microsoft has not visited us for a while (he is on a trip with his Russian “friends” and does not look like he will be back anytime soon). We are hopeful that Himanshu “Himi” will be catering to our food requirements now, as he the among the very wella in the city now a days.
After being COO of GMI, I have decided I would go for a traineeship in the coming few months (I know it sounds dumb and idiotic, but then when did I say I was sane). In case you know of any (not in India), do let me know.
Until next update..
Aj
500, yes 500 hits in the past few days!
Isn’t that cool!
On this day (sob) I would like to thank (sniff) my mummy (investor 1), my daddy (Investor 2), vandana and neeti for being our source of inspiration (bohoo), I would also like to thank the computer that crashed, the furniture that was broken (by vandana), the torture (by neeti), (sniff, sob), MS word for spelling and grammar, Mr. Microsoft for Kadai Paneer, Mr. Beyond for using and abusing our website, Raju (our chai wala), and and…
Jokes apart, thanks to all our readers, you have been great inspiration!
Vandana’s Birthday!! Ye ye ye!! Today was Vandana’s Birthday, and we did do a small thing at the office, a small cake, a cute card and some roses. She didn’t treat me to Lunch
, and what we got was promise of a party (It’s very unfair). I am just waiting to get hold of the pictures of the day and the nice way Vandana ate the cake. You will not believe, she couldn’t believe it was such a nice cake that she had it all over her face (weiredo). By the way, we got a secret bunch of flowers for Vandana in the office, pheewww, we always knew something was on Vandy, now come on tell us.
Apart from that Macha has designed the new Blog Badges for YoMacha!! (Yiippeee).. check them out below, go ahead steal them, and put them where ever you feel like.

We have something special coming in soon!! so keep checking this space for that.
This is gonna be short.

This post is dedicated to the two lovely women at the YoMacha office. Just in case you don’t know, Vandana and Neeti. Now women are not know for their understanding of how to use a computer, and just to reinstate the fact, the women did what was not humanly possible.
I was away to Delhi (that’s a long story will share later), one of the brilliant two decided that her computer has been formatted only twice (in two months) and as we enter the third one its time for another round of formatting, so she decides to do SOMETHING with the comp that a completely, perfectly functional comp just conks. Simply, like nothing was wrong but it just gets really slow. Just cause she fancies the whole formatting thing.
And if you thought that was funny enough, Vandana (just cause maybe she thought, how can neeti win in screwing comps, after all I have proved my skill by crashing by laptop a billion times) she does something that the comp just goes for a blackout. Randomly, like no reason whatsoever, just blank. Now that’s a skill set.
I think Microsoft and women have one thing in common, both are just awesomely BAD with computers. (Hopefully Mr. Microsoft does not read this posting)
May the office computers survive. Amen.
