FAKE IPL Player - he is all over

I couldnt help resist writing this blog, but the impact of the Fake IPL blogger has left with me with little choice to share his blog with our CA fraternity.

The Fake IPL player claims to be a member of the KKR and keeps relaying blogs everyday to keep us update on the dirty world of the IPL. He has an inveterate satirist, using names like Bookha naan (for buchannan), vinnie dildo for SRK, Appam C****ya for Sree, Bevada for Jesse Ryder, Peter ka Beta ---->Peter-son, Prince charles of Patiala for Yuvi, Kishen Khaniya for Ravi Shaz, Ganji Hanger for Sanjay Bangar and lots more while describing the stints at the IPL.

Some of his must read articles are the Opium - a description of the Yuvi Punjabi brigade at a pub, Bublee (Brett lee) and Babli (Preity), emosional atyachar.

This guy is all over the media, with an article all the way up on the guardian UK. In case you havent heard about him, you can become a follower at www.fakeiplplayer.blogspot.com.

We are having a list of three suspects on who this blogger could be, do take your poll on this blogger could be now, by clicking this link.

Promotion blues - how do you crack them

Asking for a promotion can be a tricky affair. Even after a lot of dicussions with your boss, you might end up having nothing more than assurances. A lot of factors depend on your promotion, some of which you have no control over. A recession hit market; company financial loss, etc are some of such reasons. However, you can try to maneuver other factors which are directly related to you and these can surely go in your favour. Here’s what you can do:

 

• List down your responsibilities. Make a bulleted list of all the responsibilities handled by you in the last one year. Do not miss out on any task. Then try explaining the problems faced by you while performing them and the way adopted to overcome the difficulties. Self initiated efforts are always acknowledged with respect. Therefore make sure you dedicate enough time for the list.

 

• Make a note of the extra work. It is important to have undertaken additional responsibilities in your worklife. This not only shows your dedication towards work but also the capability to accommodate more work within the allotted time. Your willingness and confidence will help your boss to build trust in you.

 

• Speak about the added skills. Sometimes you need to learn certain skills which are required in the process. Point out any skill-building activities you’ve done or professional training courses you’ve taken. Any knowledge transfer or training to other team members should also be spoken about during the appraisal.

 

• Prepare yourself. Collect your thoughts and prepare yourself for the meeting. Get your points ready and keep all inferences to work at the back of your mind. Remember to use positive terms and sound confident in the meeting. Present your case clearly and logically.

 

• Take an appointment. You cannot barge in your boss’ office and expect him to listen to your list. You need to ask for time and a meeting to hold this discussion.

 

Be ready. Don’t wait for someone to recognize your achievements. Step forward and request your promotion.
