So what’s happening on askenni.com!
Let me sound like a Vice President of a corporate company for while. Here it goes-
After its (askenni.com) inception in the year 2004, there has been a steady growth in the page views & also its popularity. Existing clients continue to stay with us in spite of steady competition from across the globe. This shows our perseverance, our honestly towards our services, and the kindness with which we deal with our clients. There has been no cash burn in the past year, and profits have increased to a very large extent. With the media (business world) giving us the right coverage at the right time, we with conviction can say that we surely are moving in the right direction.
The management has reviewed the existing scheme of plan, and has taken few steps to improve on the same. A new section called ‘Ur Questions’ is already added, and few other sections are in the pipeline. The budget and expertise for the same are being streamlined, so that when we start we start off with zero error.
As of now neither there are any plans to increase the number of employees, nor there are any plans to upgrade the existing technologies. G. Kennedi will handle the content part with his Compaq laptop & perverted minds, and Kamesh will handle the backend part sitting in Sweden.
Another major decision that the management is considering at this juncture is about removing the Google ads from the site. The revenues that are made through askenni.com are 15 to 20 times more than the revenues we make through Google ads per year. Google ads also takes the prime space on the site, which otherwise can be used for other important purposes. The decision whether to remove Google ads completely or should it be pushed below will be taken in a joint meeting with the Almighty.
Before I end this session let me give you a list of feedback that were sent to askenni.com in the past few days….
Feedback on the predictions made
"I was in big trouble with my job since the last 1.5 to 2 years. I contacted Kennedi in October 2004 and he told me that I can only expect to find a good job around September 2005 at the start of a new dasha . I was trying hard for a job for almost a year without success and then during the end of July 2005 I got a verbal offer for an exciting job. But interestingly there were delays in getting the official letter and I could start in the last week of August 2005. I thank Kennedi for his accurate prediction. He has also predicted a great rise in my career from September 2005 and I am looking forward to it"

Dear Mr. G. Kennedi,
I am a 35 year old woman and my husband had contacted you earlier for advice regarding his job and your prediction came true and he is very happy with your prediction.

Feedback on the content
I read your blog that talks about a step by step process to identify that a person is nearing one’s death.
My father passed away a year ago. As far as patterns are concerned I noticed one thing that stood out in my parent’s case –
I was with my mother until a couple of months before her death I had to go to the US. I went with a strong feeling that something bad will happen to her in my absence (I didn’t have the heart to imagine that she’ll die in my absence). Exactly two months into my trip and my mother passed away. I got a mail from my brother saying she was serious and was admitted in the hospital, when I left for India. By the time I reached India, it had been a day since she’d passed away.
My father joined me in the US (I’m in the US currently with my husband and a daughter) for my daughter’s birth. He stayed with us for 6 months. Exactly two months after his return to India, he passed away.
In my grandmother’s case I noticed what you mentioned in your blog. My grandmother was seriously ill and was in the hospital for more than a week. My brother (her favorite), could manage to be at Hyderabad only for a day during his MBA. He had seen her and left and she died within a few minutes after he left.
My mother passed away in 2000, my grand mother in 2002, and my father, last year in 2004. Death has been visiting my family every alternate year and taking away the most precious people in my life. I am afraid of 2006.

Feedback on ‘Ur Question’ section (linked from the right nav)
Q12) Why are Blue Films called so, when there is nothing blue about it?
A12) The term blue film was derived from word blue print, which the architects use. Blue print essentially is a document, where in everything is shown outright & clearly. And you know what is shown explicitly in a blue film.
(Here is what a doctor has to say about the same, who is not happy with my reasoning -
Hi,
About the "Blue film" etymology............
You must know that there are two kinds of cells in Retina, Rods and Cones....... and of these rods are for dark vision and cones for colour vision. And the pigment in Rod, called Rhodopsin has peak sensitivity to light at 505 nm.....In short, when it is bright, you see articles in their original color and when the light is fading away, any article (or landscape) get a blue tinge towards it....
Thus any film shot with poor lighting will appear a bit more blue......This is a explanation from the scientific point of view.....
And if you want an astrological explanation as to why porno movies were called blue films, I presume that the colour associated with Venus is Blue, Am I right ???

Bruno
