(Contd. from previous post, Part-I) 05-06 May, 2007 I 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.org According 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

May 31 is marked in calendars across the world as World No Tobacco Day. Tobacco, one of the leading causes of deaths worldwide, is more harmful than one can imagine. Join me in spreading the awareness and saying no to tobacco. Following are comments by Dr Thimmappa Hegde and Dr Arvind Bhateja, Consultant Neurosurgeons, HOSMAT Hospital, Bangalore. Hard to quit?

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
