Super Update


Hey guys! Its been ages since I wrote anything. I blame it on my lethargy, lack of motivation and frankly the non-existence of any time to do so! So here goes:
1. I am a Masters in International Management and Entrepreneurship graduate with Merit!!! Got my result a few weeks ago and was over the moon (which apparently has water on it)! See photo, how neatly ruined my desktop was!
2. I have finally decided to stay on here in UK for about half an year at-least to see if I can get a job or something like that, so applying for the visa in a couple of days.
3. I have been working my ass off, reason why I couldn't blog enough. Earning the dough can be quite a satisfying experience!
4. I finally managed to get out of Glasgow in September, went with the mates to Manchester, Blackpool and Newcastle by car on a much awaited road trip. High point: driving on UK highways, shot the Vauxhall Astra 1.6 to 123miles/hr, super!
5. Glasgow gets colder and colder (0 deg. as I type), nothing new though, its fun to see the new guys trying to adjust to life at Uni and the new city.
6. Had a meek Diwali, did nothing much, went to the temple. High points: sweets from India courtesy Arpit and Akhilesh who went back home on a break (lucky b*****ds)
7. Had an awesome Guy Fox night, the night which is like Diwali for Glaswegians with awesome night time fireworks, simply amazing!
8. Can't wait to get back to India for a break. really need one. I hope to make it there in Feb/March, hope to meet loads of people and travel like hell through villages and cities of the motherland!
Will upload pics asap!
Later, hopefully soon!

Understanding the job

Working with a product company, one of the bigger dilemmas facing the Product team is what to build based on the backlog of product items. Listening to a Harvard lecture podcast online recently, I came across a concept which helped me clear this dilemma. It simply asks a question- what is the job that your product is hired to perform? Ideas for the product you are building can come through various routes. We're going to lose this customer if we don't incorporate this now, this is something the CEO really wants to see in the product, it's been sitting in the backlog forever etc. But a very good way to go about prioritizing what goes into the product is to find the answer to the question- what is the job that your product is hired to perform? Imagine the product to be an employee who is hired for a particular profile. Now there are certain roles and responsibilities or KPI's which will define whether this employee is fit for the post. The same logic will apply to the p...

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 ...

Art of the Start

Building out something can be one of the best experiences one can have. As kids, we took great pains building structures using Lego bricks, modelling clay into art which put renaissance sculptors to shame, or making barracks and castles of scale in sand where we were nothing less than kings. These activities gave us a sense of achievement and entitlement. These were some of our first products. Some of you would have gone on to build sand walls around those castles, and moats to fend off intruders. You were the consolidators, empire builders. If you build out that castle and kicked it to the ground to then make another masterpiece, you were in the true sense a serial entrepreneur. Sat on the sidelines and got the other kids to build stuff for you? No comments. Fast forward to today. Looking to be a pioneer and build out something, or provide a specialised service? Ever wonder what it would be like if everything you ever imagined went on to fruition the moment you thought it out? Woul...
