This crazy world..

Time flies by so fast that you really need to pinch youself to realise how much time has gone past since you haven't done anything productive! Its now two and a half months here in Glasgow and the thank you's have changed to cheers and yes'es have become aye! and the world is still moving on. The financial crisis is getting the best of everyone, but strangely not me! I will very proudly narrate to my grandkids about the time when the world was sinking in debt and I was making merry with my new found first job! Working part time at the local football clubs I was making enough to sustain my daily expenses while Jaguar was filing for loans, plane companies were bidding to buy out each other, banking companies were axeing like well built loggers and Woolsworth was being put out into the market for vultures to pick on! Well, with the winter coming up, and after experiencing my first snowfall here, I am really looking forward to working full-time in the vacations so as to save enough to have a few days travelling around the UK before the classes begin in January. With exams around the corner, yet again, it is now time to step up the study sessions!
Yesterdays blasts in Mumbai have us Indians here really pissed and all are acting patriotic, I don't really know if they mean it, but I for once am appaled at the situation. We keep saying it, but it is really an up-hill task for the Indian government to take steps and measures to control the situation and see to it that the same is not repeated again. There is no use blaming the government, as what could be done was done, how was anyone to forsee an event like this where it is said that the buggers captured a boat and arrived on Mumbai shores using it and launching horrendous attacks that they have. Heart and soul out to Mumbai. Like New York, the city that never sleeps, Mumbai too has become used to these staged dramas and will be back to normal, up-and running in no time. May those who lost their lives rest in peace.

Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Enterprise

The dictionary defines an Entrepreneur as one who undertakes innovations using business, technical and financial acumen to transform them into viable economic goods, or revitalizing and adding value to an organization. It has to be understood that each and every one has an entrepreneurial bent of mind embedded within us. Most of us do not realize that we unknowingly practice this in our day to day lives through finding an innovative solution at home thus saving time or money, or being 'Intrapreneurs' at work, constantly coming up with methods and processes which would be of benefit to the company and the client. I had the opportunity to attend TiECon-2012 (flagship event of the 'The Indus Entrepreneurs' group) held in the last week of September. The primary focus of the event was to bring together like minded individuals from a multitude of business, financial and technological backgrounds to network, share thoughts and ideologies, learn the art of pro-activeness, un...

F1 in India!!

All you Formula 1 fans out there, F1 is finally coming to India, to Delhi specifically speaking!! Talks were going on(they always go on..and on) for the past ten years to get the F1 on track here in Gandhi land, now finally its a go! Few months ago liquor dude Mallya proposed to get the track as Rajpath and the surrounding roads around Parliament(as if we have less trouble there already!!), but good'ol Ernie wants a new track altogether. Hey, wouldn'tve been cool if the track was the same one they thought about earlier?? Burning rubber at 300km/hr+ in front of Rashtrapati Bhawan!! Where would the pits be? possibly inside the parliament!! Anyways, the very fact that F1 is coming has got me super excited! Just to see the Ferrrari's and McLaren's zooming past and the sweet sound of the roaring v-8's would be a delight. The only thing I am worried about is the snails pace at which work is carried out here in Delhi, in India as a matter of fact! Alonso crosses the first ...

Revisiting the blog-o-sphere

Its been a while since I logged on and updated my blog, you may say that for a while I almost forgot that I had one. Anyway, here I am, fit and well since my last post nearly half an year ago! What sparked me to put up an update today was a letter from Google which I received yesterday, BY POST. The weirdness of the fact that Google actually sends mails by post was somehow inconceivable to me! They are apparently offering me Rs.2500 worth of free advertising to make my blog more of a happening place in terms of number of viewers! As always, I have my reasons for not blogging as much as I should. Main reasons are my two recent purchases. A sudden attraction of technology made me go in for the iPod Touch 3G 32GB late last year and more recently an Android HTC Sense Hero. I attribute these devices to the gradual demise of my blog. So is the comfort of these devices that my overall usage of my laptop has gone down! Rolling out of bed in the morning, just press a wee key on the Touch, get m...
