EAT LOTS OF SWEET POTATOES     this is really interesting... old but a good reminder...    It's been said that God first separated the salt water from the fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, made animals and fish... All before making a human. He made and provided what we'd need before we were born. These are best & more powerful when eaten raw. We're

Prayer is not a "spare wheel" that you pull out when in trouble, but it is a "steering wheel" that directs the right path throughout. Do you know why a Car's WINDSHIELD is so large & the Rearview Mirror is so small?   Because our PAST is not as important as our FUTURE.  Look Ahead and Move on. Friendship is like a BOOK.  It takes few seconds to burn,  but it

Human Beings - are a very interesting species. We complain about many things in life - each of the worrisome matter making us loose our sleep and peace over it. Coming to think of it; it is simple - "If any issue is going to be solved, then why fret/worry about it becoz it is going to get solved with right effort? If any issue cannot be solved, then why worry about it, becoz it is not going to

"Thoughts" - the seed from which we manifest our "self". It is an interesting concept. Thoughts occur in the "mind". Western Science has been trying to determine what "constitutes" a mind; and hence determine the place from which thoughts emanate and searching for it in the energy fields of the brain. Eastern Science treats thoughts in a more holistic manner. Thoughts are the expression of "

It has been a long time since my last blog. All these days, I have been experimenting with the ability to blog regularly on issues and topics that are relevant to my startup (on the internal company blog). Now, having looked at the positive outcome, I am revisiting this blog of mine and keep it running. And, what better way to restart - "Stay hungry; Stay foolish" says the great inventor of our

From Web 2.0 (Entrepreneurs) Facebook Group:+15 Startup Commandments1. Your idea isn't new. Pick an idea; at least 50 other people have thought of it. Get over your stunning brilliance and realize that execution matters more.2. Stealth startups suck. You're not working on the Manhattan Project, Einstein. Get something out as quickly as possible and promote the hell out of it. 3. If you don't

Watched an wonderful movie - Mumbai Meri Jaan. I didn't know the story until I watched this movie. And it set me thinking on the recent furore about Slumdog Millionaire. Many in India have voiced their opinions that the latter movie shows Mumbai and India in bad light. The opinions have come about only because people started watching Slumdog . . . only because of the attention it's recent award

The shooting in Lahore, Pakistan on the Sri-Lankan cricket team bus on 3rd Mar 2009 is being termed as a dastardly attack on sports specifically. It is also termed as an internal combustion within the Pakistan political-government system. In our hearts, we feel for the people deeply affected by this act of terror, like the mass pouring of feelings for the recent Mumbai blasts.At the same time,

I found this fascinating quote today:Only contact VCs that invest in your type of company (e.g., sector, stage, etc.) Be honest about your intentions Be patient with VCs Actively share information Do not take rejection personally Do not harass VCs (they’re people too) Focus on the success of the company; check your ego at the door Be open to feedback and new ideas Do not sully the

The world is round. Be sure about what you dish out, because it comes around back to you. It is a matter of time. Always do good, more so, on the way up as you would require help on the fast downward spiral path. - the wise men say. Being a believer in the Almighty, it is a good feeling when belief gets reinforced every now and then. There was one such reinforcement recently.  Speaking of belief,

I had a long enjoyable holidays visiting quite a few places, all by road. It was a good stay with all the family members across various cities. More on it later!! For now, recommend reading this snippets of the saying from one of the great masters. Enjoy reading it.

It wasn't long ago that I was at a workplace where we believed that we are working on the latest technology to achieve the business direction. All of us were of the opinion that J2EE, abstraction, layered architecture based on distributed & vertical computing architecture principles, object model segregated from physical model/persistence, business process flow and orchestration, etc that we

The global financial market tumbled and went into a tailspin; the experienced "maverick" Presidential aspirant in the US elections blew his campaign after making a wrong "call" on the US economy; the "rookie" Presidential aspirant who wants to bring "CHANGE" raced across the winning line with a brutal majority on the electoral votes and the best ever finishing by a Democrat for an entire

Hello there, it has been quite some time since the last posting. I am busy "enjoying the break" - and relaxation includes doing mundane things and the joy of doing having done it - reading books, doing spring cleaning, washing and waxing the car, apart from spending long hours with my family & playing with my two sons - aged 6&1/2 years and ~10 months and some "little" amount of time on

WOW :-) !! It is a NEW DAWN , a new (re)beginning, un-frettered,  un-cluttered; albeit that the journey of the last 13 years that culminated on 25th Aug 2008 (although abruptly) has been an wonderful learning experience. Like the wise sayings go - "the journey is equally important as the destination" -  this journey has provided invaluable lessons on all aspects of life and work and I am sure the
