Many a thing did I, as ordinaire do; Ate and breathed to fill and live; Lost did I, in cycle of lives; Forget did I, if I in Me, Dreamt or desired of quest, for Many a thing that victorious do.

I screamed into the phone and asked Naren where and when the exam was. I had slept off and was very sure I had missed the exam that was scheduled on that day. But, more pissing off was the fact that Naren was taking such a long time to tell me the schedule. I screamed… [Read more…]

How about some creativity?

June 21, 2010

It was May 2004, when I was dreaming on a sleepy Bangalorean Sunday, one of my friends (I really don’t remember who) called me and said – “Dude, Lucent is hiring off-campus. Come and write the test”, I really wanted to get through it because of the legacy it was associated with. I was 6… [Read more…]

Happiness

I was 6, in a sleepier part of Bangalore – Malleshwaram. My father never bought me a single toy to play with. I presume it was his insensitivity to what I would like as a child. But, I had a few things that kept me occupied through the day – a piece of hacksaw blade,… [Read more…]

0

It would become very mundane if I wrote about the importance of data for scientific analysis and solutions to everyday problems.

Which bucket are you in?

November 7, 2009

Religion, Nationality, Rich & poor were a universal categorization/ bucketing that existed from centuries, but we have successfully managed to take it to higher (actually lower) levels. If we look at ancient India – we had the caste system (bucketing people into different [if I can call it] verticals, which stuck to a person from… [Read more…]

Accenture (Anderson Consulting) and IBM did business in the US for more than 50 years, held price for their services until came the Indians.

Analyzers and Happy-go-luckies

October 24, 2009

People I have come across fall between two extremes – Extreme analyzers and Extreme Happy-go-luckies (HGL s– for the lack of knowledge of a better word). On the one end, I know of a person who never does anything other than analyzing the repercussions of what would happen if she/he does something. On the other,… [Read more…]
