I just watched a movie. It was just a random pick. The site categorised it as “Drama”. I watched the whole movie in a sitting. It was not high action, it wasn’t suspense thriller, it wasn’t a drama, it was a heartwarming, meaningful and respectful movie- Taking Chance. A journey of Lt Col Mike Strobl […]
Over the last week, many asked did “do you feel being in Paris”. The answer then was NO! Thanks to a good weather (and my planning :D ), I got a feel of Paris over the last weekend. Saturday started on a foggy note but thankfully got sunny closer to noon. I started from Arc De […]
My new job got me to Rueil-Malmaison, France for a few weeks. A western suburb, just 12kms, from central Paris, well-connected by local trains, yet technically considered outside of Paris! The most striking thing as I got to the hotel in a taxi from Charles De Gualle (Paris airport) was the writings on the walls […]
To this date I have not purchased a travel guide in the true sense of the word. From the time, I had the opportunity, time, money & companion to travel around; the internet has been the latest and greatest resource. I struck by the net to plan travel for my visits to and around Japan […]
Why do retailers price products at Rs 99, Rs 109, Rs 199 etc? It is a marketing practice referred to as “Psychological pricing“. Debatable theories can be built on this practice. Personally to me, it doesn’t make a difference. A rupee difference will not change my mind either to buy or not to buy. My […]
Another app called NetaNaap, an attempt to build a public perception on the Indian politicians. Contrary to obvious belief, I started working on it much before the Mumbai terror attacks! When I came across Noah Brier’s BrandTags.net, I was impressed with the approach. After some thought on the possible adaptations from an Indian context, […]
In June this year, CNBC-TV18 in association with Enlighten Film Society organised a film festival titled “Wall Street Meets 70mm” in Mumbai, showcasing 4 movies- Rogue Trader, Wall Street, Boiler Room & Barbarians of the Gate. By the name of the movies and the organiser, it is easy to guess the theme – the financial […]
We are aware of banks being fished out from storm waters by governments. Here is more astounding piece I read in LiveMint. It says “Dubai received a $15 billion (Rs70,350 crore) bailout from Abu Dhabi, its cash-rich big sister. At least that’s how the lending facility set up by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) central […]
At the event of quarterly financial results of an organization, a television channel host interviewing the head of the company asked: “Are you optimistic or cautious about the future“. The head of the company replied: “We are Cautiously Optimistic” So the obvious question is what does he exactly mean? I found a amazing response posted […]
Sramana Mitra suggests Software-as-a-service vendors are the most recession-proof in a event of the recession in this Forbes article. In the context of large Indian IT service providers, this is significant. Even in non-recessionary times, SaaS is an opportunity to break the linearity between employee and revenue growth. Such non-linearity strategies are much-talked internally and […]
Found this excellent resouce @ Amit Ranjan’s Webyantra– India Salary Handbook by Kelly Services India. I am pretty surprised to find it to be free since such a report which is probably the first time in India (by my knowledge), could have easily found buyers. Much appreciated. Download
