Today evening, I decided to give work a break and went to the terrace to watch paper kites that some kids were flying in the neighborhood. Today, there was a lot of breeze and guess it was an ideal evening for this sport. There was some intense fighting in the skies and it was a joy to watch 20 kites of all colors.  It was even more fun to watch kids on the streets running around to catch the

SeaBiscuit is one of my all-time favourite movies and I have put in some excellent conversations from the movie. If you like them, you should watch the movie! Why are you fixing the horse? Every horse is good for something. You know, you dont throw a whole life away just because he banged up a little. Narrator: Seabiscuit was a small horse, barely 15 hands. He was hurting too. There was a limp

Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Alva Edison, Lao Tzu have been some of my biggest teachers who have helped me stay inspired, and work very hard with the right spirit. I was feeling a little down and was hungry to hear them again and I found this remarkable collection of quotes. The blogger has neatly organized it into different qualities and I recommend this post a lot. http://sourcesofinsight.com/

My growing collection of favourite quotations: Let each man exercise the art he knows. Aristophanes Judge each day not by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant. Robert Louis Stevenson In a gentle way, you can shake the world. Mohandas Gandhi Ideas shape the course of history. John Maynard Keynes Change your thoughts and you change your world.

Dear Students, As mentioned in my classes, I will be posting teaching notes for few chapters in this post. This would essentially have the crux of the basics of the maths classes I take. It can be useful as a supplement to the theory classes. 29/08/10: Download notes-set1.zip here: Contains notes for Inequalities, Time and Distance, Simple Interest and Compound Interest, Ratio Proportion and

Rocky (1-5) had always been a treat to watch. Recently, I saw Rocky Balboa, the last part of this series and a dialogue from Rocky to his son from a particular scene truly inspired me. I quote that here:"You let people stick a finger on your face and tell you you are no good, and when things get out of hand, you started looking for sth to blame. Like a big shadow. Let me tell you something you

(Contd. from previous post, Part-I)05-06 May, 2007I was told that carpenting work by Achari's father doesnt support the family much as modern tools are easily available and rare orders come their way. Balakrishna, Shyam Sundar Achari's younger brother was learning the carpenting skills from his father and I thought that Balakrishna should support the family as much as Achari and looked for

It finally was time to proceed to P Rudravanam for my rural family visit for a week. The purpose was to understand consumer behavior, the attitudes of our people living in rural areas. My company thought that management trainees like myself would have had our life spent in affluent parts of the country and a stint like this should broaden our understanding. In my view the stint has more than

Sourced from www.ushistory.orgAccording to many people, The Independent is the best newspaper published in England. In its issue of December 30, 1998, kindly sent to me by my friend Suzy Bittker, there appears an unsigned editorial entitled "A Search for a hero who helps us to define ourselves."A poll, it seems, has been conducted by the program TODAY of Radio 4 for the nomination of such a

Usually speeches in my school are mostly about business and speakers are all successful business people we read about in newspapers and magazines. But day before yesterday's speaker was a lot different. She is successful, her success measured by her happiness and what she wanted to achieve. She is none other than Mrs. Sudha Murthy, Chairperson, Infosys Foundation, an organisation that is doing

Certainly one of the best profs who teach in MDI. Its not just his expertise and succesful experience in value investing (in stock market) that makes him so, its also his ability to share them so well with us. It is undoubtedly the most popular course here. The course is called "Behavioural Finance and Business Valuation" and now, he is teaching us social psychology as a foundation.He is CEO of

Helen Adams Keller (27 June 1880 – 1 June 1968) American writer and social activist; illness (possibly scarlet fever) at the age of 19 months left her deaf, blind, and mute."The two greatest characters in the 19th century are Napoleon and Helen Keller. Napoleon tried to conquer the world by physical force and failed. Helen tried to conquer the world by power of mind — and succeeded!" ~ Mark

Small and concise has for a long time attracted me very much. So much so that while browsing the marketing section in my library I picked a small book called "The Greatest Salesman In The World" and immediately decided to read it. Its sheer simplicity and straightforwardness attracted me to it. The following text is about what could be gained from the author's message. I call it the Ten

For a long time, I have had this feeling that I am a lucky person. Yesterday I lost my books and notes in a very strange way. Having opted to study in the library, I left my material in the mess-table (the norm) before dinner only to find it disappear after food. Losing something I can't buy/get back worries me too much, often unnecessarily. My notes which contained a gist of everything I read

(As typed on 20 June, 2005) Easily my best day in MDI so far. These guys proved that having a birthday during summers cannot be an excuse for not celebrating. My room-mate, Shubham has been plotting this for quite some time now and today was the day as all of us wanted a break and at around 8:30, we headed to Solitaire, a restaurant near MDI for my "belated birthday" treat. The team had many of

The trip again by the ECR road evoked fond memories of college days. Though I was there for a day only, I had a great time. Few memorable events@ the farm house: The swimming and walking races between the five of us: me, vram, nil, vjku and siva were too good. VRam showed us new stunts of floating like a log, Siva taught us the physics behind walking in water and Nilava/Vijaykumar taught us

If after graduating from b-school, there is one learning that I would want to be constantly reminded of, is the preciousness and perishability of time. Describing a day in a b-school is probably the most easiest of all as you just have to pick almost any day and the situation remains just the same. One of the taxing days in recent times was the last Friday and I choose to describe it in today's
