Socio-Economic

2009-01-17T00:35:00.000-08:00

MBA institutes are adding courses focusing on socio-economics as part of their programs. I was wondering what/why/how on the same. Found an interesting article - Remarks of Bill Gates

Random Thoughts - Part 3

2008-06-21T10:30:00.000-07:00

1. Inflation in double figures and rising. Yes it is Prices CRISES. Someone please find an alternative to OIL.
2. These days political parties are pro-rich, pro- business. Nobody wants to do the hard work at grass root level.
3. IPL was huge success, credit to L.Modi and team for marketing it so well. It is huge productivity savings for India- People get action packed 3 hrs . Savings of 5hrs per person for billion population is HUGE :)
4. IPL is serious cricket and different cricket with all due respect to TEST format.
5. England not in Euro 2008, no words for this. It has all the talent in world but no Team. Learn few things from Germany team.
6. Where is my life going , dont know. FOCUS determines relality. Need to focus on few things now- career and finding a life partner.
7. Science , litreature, arts and philosophy are essence of life..OOPs plus Football ;)
8. Shantaram - is good read. Description of peculiar Indian things is very real.
9. Life has it's own timing (and it's generally not the same as the timing I want) - some funda ;)

bill gates - humor

2008-01-20T10:43:00.000-08:00

today I read an interesting article in newspaper, it was about Bill Gates speech at IIT alumini meet-
BILL GATES: Well, good evening. It's a great honor for me to speak at this jubilee celebration. After all, I'm not 50-years old yet, pretty close, I never graduated from college, yet, although I'm not sure I'll be changing that because I'm a little busy right now, but I get a chance to talk with you about an incredible institution that has really changed the world and has the potential to do even more in the years ahead than it's already done.Rajat asked me to speak and at first my reaction, "Well, I don't speak at many college events. There's more opportunity than there is time." But when I thought about it and I thought about the great things that people from IIT have done at Microsoft, the role that I think IIT can play inside India in tapping into its potential I decided I'd make a very special exception and come here tonight. (Applause.)I was careful to do research for this speech so I went up to the Web site -- the IIT Web site -- and sort of browsed around, and after I did that I thought, well, I'll go to the MIT Web site and browse around just to see, you know, these things seem very similar. And on the MIT Web site the hot news was that the coffee house was closing down because people weren't spending enough money there. (Laughter.) On the IIT Bombay site, though, things were far more interesting. They said that they had caught a leopard on the campus recently. (Laughter, applause.) And that's something these U.S. universities just can't offer in terms of an experience. (Laughter.)

Nano at a wrong time

2008-01-14T11:54:00.000-08:00

Tata launching Nano- peoples car. Is it Small Evil, Dream car, or motoring madness ???

Looks are great, specifications up to the mark, timing is wrong?
My take - its great achievement and TATA deserve nothing but our unstinted admiration. It has meet all the safety norms and is environment friendly.

Indian cricketers should dig a pit and bury themselves.

The problem with Sachin is his mentor is Sunil Gavaskar. So you can only expect Test match batting from Sachin now onwards...

South African problem is not new, we need good pitches at home.

For change our uner 19 team should replace our present senior team, this experiment is worth trying Greg.

Irfan should seriously start looking for alternate carrer like bollywood, it will be a win win situation for both cricket and Irfan.

Random thoughts 2...

2006-12-01T05:55:00.000-08:00

1. Dada back in team, will this help. I think what Indian cricket needs is good pitches...

2. Bangalore to bengalooru ...crores will be spend in this effort. The time is gone for all these activities, this is late by at least 50 years and now we cant afford it. More priority task are neglected. When ...when will Bangalore be among the best cities in the world like..Tokyo, NY, London etc...

3. I am born in wrong place at wrong time ;)

4. Well something nice now, "The Departed" is a fantastic movie, although it is a remake of HongKong based film, it shows how to make a remake... Hollywood rocks in creativity.

5. Mani and Rehman are back with "Guru". These people are simply great. Time and again with fresh ideas, Rehman is GOD.

6. Now I in process of jotting down new year resolutions, and yes I have started implementing few plans before schedule.

Random Thoughts...

2006-05-03T00:16:00.000-07:00

1. We have the most educated Prime Minister till date, scientist as a President and we still talk about reservations. Why? Does education really help.

2. Has Sachin really passed his prime...

3. 50 years and we are still developing.

4. Does boycotting foreign products really help Indian economy.

5. Media is so biased, focusing more on urban issues, do they know India is agricultural country with more then 70 % population living rural areas, and their occupation directly linked to agriculture.

6. We are so addicted to slave culture, services is what we are best at. Is this true or is just cost benefit that runs the show.

7. Leardership is all about responsibility, influencing and accountability. Are this human species available in India.

8. Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't -Margaret Thatcher

9. Due to easy money thanks to BPO and IT, youngsters are becoming oniomaniac.

10. Kaayva's case- is it plain plagiarism or inspiration.
