It’s 1st March 2013 today. This blog was started on 28th Feb 2012. It has been a complete year now since I greeted the blogging world with Hello World. I am thoroughly excited about it. The irony of my first post being on the last day of February is not lost on me. For a
MBA Almost Done. What lies ahead?
When I logged in today and saw the hit counter had crossed 2200 hits, I was content. In past few weeks, I have managed to get an average of 7 to 8 views each day. Though it was on back of my mind, but now that I gave it a thought, I realize it does take time to build up a following. Though people who follow my blog are still less in number, but I am happy that they are reading what I write even if I have been inconsistent about it. Now that I have seen that it does take time to reap the benefits, I am going to come up with more good quality posts in the future. This I feel obliged and motivated to do so more consistently.
(Ok. Done with the bragging. Now off to the topic.)
The end of my two years of Post-Graduation in Management is fast approaching. As most of my batch mates are in packing up mode and

Valentine Day – A Day to celebrate Romantic Love
Valentine’s Day went by a few days back. Enough has been said about it being not in our culture to celebrate it in India; it’s a western culture day and blah blah. But what one can surely say is that everyone can relate to it in some way or the other. For the people in love, it’s one of those days to

Is the World Fair?
It’s a big No. World isn’t fair enough. Whatever one tries to do, world cannot be fair. It’s by inherent design. Newton’s third law that ‘Every action has equal and opposite reaction’ leads us to believe that what we sow we reap. Now this phrase even literally

Rules make things efficient not effective
Whenever any process is repeated over time, each transaction and each problem is solved similarly using the same set of assumptions and logic. Over time, they become rules which govern the solution dispensing methodology. But once in a while, a case or a transaction comes which defy the previous cases that have been handled by the rules and the rules themselves become a constraint in dispensing the best solution.

Window Of Opportunity
Why is Steve Jobs so revered? What did he do that none other could? Did he have any extraordinary skills, any intergalactic, out of the world powers? May be, may be not. He’s dead to pitch in his veto vote anyway. So what I can put forth is a theory.

What it takes to become an effective market researcher?
Today is the last day of my two month long summer internship programme I underwent at an industrial market research firm based in Pune as part of my two year Post graduation programme in management (in short, for my MBA). I learnt a lot here and have made some observations. I had tried to compile them here into some points as conclusively as possible so that may be a starter in this field may stumble upon in future and may require it. So what do you think are attributes of any effective market researcher. I am not going to dwell much on the objective defining stages or those. I am going to focus here on the

The Calcutta Chromosome – Book Review
Book Title: The Calcutta Chromosome
Author: Amitav Ghosh
Approx Leisure Read Time: 280 – 320 min
Review: Okay, I finished this book about two weeks ago and as I write this I am STILL not sure what do I rate it. This book has to be among the unusual novels I have read. The book starts out slow, in an odd setting with strange characters. The plot revolves around an unexpected hypothesis – that the documented history of who cracked the malaria puzzle in 1898 is unconvincing. I was like, do I even wanna know? But then the plot kept getting more interesting, complex and

Fish Tales – Book Review
Book Title: Fish Tales
Author: Stephen C. Lundin, John Christensen, Harry Paul & Phillip Strand
Approx Read Time: 140 – 160 min
Review: Imagine a workplace where everyone chooses to bring energy, passion, and a positive attitude to the job every day. Imagine an environment in which people are truly connected to their work, to their colleagues, and to their customers. Who wouldn’t want to be in such a workplace? When you make room for play at work, great things happen. They discovered this at Pike Place Fish Market in Seattle.
