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.

Update!

I am so sorry for the delay, I have officially lost track of time! The other day me and a friend were trying to remember what month it was! Anyway, its been really long I blogged, so just though I'll give you guys an update of what I've been upto. The first week of May was a real killer as we had to run through the presentation we prepared to show the company we were interning for and the professors ofcourse. That went well, better than I'd hoped for infact! Our team was awarded the best team prize for presentation and performance by te Management Department!! We will get a certificate and a book token at the Graduation Ceremony in December. The rest of May was a bore, there was my birthday, even that day spent working:( The last few weeks were spent searching for an apartment as our contract with the university accomodation was ending first week June. We did find a superb place, and after squabbles and misunderstandings, we finally rented it. I moved out of Kelvinhaugh Str...

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...

What happened exactly?

Revisiting this web-page, writing this, seems different. Let me keep this brief. There was a time when we didn't care about format, formation, punctuation, creation. Now everything revolves around presentation, perception, perfection. The latter requires time, dedication, motivation. Former was the original. Thought flowed from mind to pen/keys. The problem is time, a lack thereof.  End of the written letter was spelled.
