Today, I had a chance to meet an entrepreneur, who until recently was my supervisor-like. He recently bootstrapped a book and toy lending venture, BrainVilla.

Today (in some states yesterday), the auspicious Sri Rama Navami festival being celebrated. I personally don’t have any affinity of doing special things on this occasion.

Today, I had argument with an insurance agent. And I learned how a simple google search can end up losing a customer or in other words, how one can help oneself, from falling into mis-information trap. One of my relatives called me up & asked me about tax saving investments. He told me that an [...]

Entire country was jumping in joy, when a genius, at last, shown to the world. It is bit odd, that entire country rejoicing the success of an individual. Well, that is India for you. Our need of recognition from outside has been palpable for some time now. Whenever, any name that strikes Indian chords, succeed, [...]
