      <title>IIPM - AC needs a haircut</title>

      <description>The entire episode is catching fire, I am sure AC will succumb to this mass &quot;blog movement&quot; and now he wont dare to think beyond IIMs!
 
In my opinion, it is not a cause of fraudulence - after all everyone is in the business of making money - and so is Arindom Chaudhury. Well.. the man has guts, that’s why he is there - where he is...... in fact now a good mass has already accepted him as a management guru, a noted economist and what not. His public appearances (whatever i have seen) are absolutely hilarious.. I saw him on TV twice - once he was called in some forum where he was guiding... (more)</description>

      <description>I was cleaning my mailbox and found this..... I wrote this about an year back.



**********************************************************************



The guitar class was :(. It made me so nervous..... well it hurts deep, when you realize that there could be areas where you don't have an iota of knowledge... and this class for one did prove this point. This teacher apparently is in late 50's... very particular abt his doctrines, methodology etc etc..



Initially he asked me if I knew anything abt Guitar. I very sweetly replied that ya, I have been learning quite a few things in... (more)</description>

It all starts with the ringing of door-bell at 6:30 in the morning. Now, i have adjusted my body to happily ignore the sound of the bell (I usually embed that sound somewhere in my dream, and the trick always works!!). Every morning at the same time, we have our new consignment of large size papers (people call it &quot;newspaper&quot;) neatly folded and tucked in the latch of the door.

      <description>Ok here I am .. back to where I stopped. Last few days were extremely tiring but nonetheless very exciting. I have made up my mind to leave Mumbai. Things are so uncertain and fluid, and I hate being on such crossroads. The worst thing is that, you can never do a scenario (what-if) analysis.  I really don't know what would have happened, had I decided to take the iGate offer last year.  Now I have atleast decided to move on... will not repeat what I did last year. 





I think this week is going to be the most critical week for my professional and personal life.  I was just wondering if... (more)</description>

      <description>Now it is almost three minutes that I have been just staring at the monitor with my fingers hovering over the keyboard - trying to figure out, where and how to start this entry. For professional writers - this state is called writers block. First hit on Google on &quot;how to overcome this&quot; is at

I don’t think I have time to go through this, but my way of overcoming this block is to start with something gibberish – like the last few lines :).



There is this interesting company called Brainmass - http://www.brainmass.com. I think Arzoo was... (more)</description>

      <description>The current frequency of my visit to this journal reminds me of all the guest lectures we had during my MBA - all sporadic :)




BTW the trick worked.. BLG construction is now in the list of Google search.
