Unclear Nuclear
Washington, July 10: Invoking national interest, renowned spiritual guru, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, has appealed to all Indian political parties to display ‘magnanimity’ and support the troubled Indo-US nuclear deal. "All parties must support the deal that is beneficial to the country," he said. India has always had a tradition of the government and opposition coming together in national interest whenever a crisis ...

The Money Genie
I came across this article on http://dilbert.com/blog/entry/the_happiness_genie/ Suppose a genie appears and gives you two choices. The first option is that he will give you $10 million dollars, but everyone else you know will get $20 million apiece. Choice two: You get $5 million, but no one else gets anything. As a bonus, the genie offers to erase your memory of having made the choice, so guilt will never...

The MBA Dilemma III - Salary Trends
And now the big one. Salary. Why big? Money makes the world go round. I ain't saying it. Its general consensus. In this article we plan to look at post-MBA salaries across various industries and sectors. Naturally, these depend on the number of years of work experience, the pre-MBA profile, how well defined are the aims of the candidate and the list goes on and on and on. In fact a company called Wetfeet publishes...

My reading speed
I came up with a formula for my reading speed long time back in school, and thought I would share it here. Conventionally reading speed is defined in words per minute but I don't see how that is of any consequence. How can you know before hand the number of words in a tome and come up with how much time you're going to finish it in? This formula does just that. Its like this: Time taken to read in minutes = [(No....

India - high cost economy?
Growing political mayhem and economic mismanagement are turning India into a High Cost Economy. Read that as falling competitiveness, job losses and industrial emigration. On September 12th, 2005, Business week headline read : "Why the world must watch out for India and China". Alas, this very statement created in India a superego that is now hard to get rid of. We are proud people. A little bit of praise thrown ...

The Fourth Dimension
Analogy is often drawn between one, two , three and higher dimensional beings, and their behaviour, in one two or three dimensions , not respectively. I will try to express my views on one such analogy which everyone is so grossly mistaken about. The dimensions in increasing order are : zero, one, two, three, four….etc. The examples of figures in these dimensions are point, line, square, cube, tesseract… etc res...

The Popcorn Theorem
This experiment started about a month ago, when I noticed that no matter at whichever setting you pop the microwave popcorn, there are always some kernels left unpopped. So either there must be an optimal setting of the microwave OR these kernels should not be there in the packet. I tried to pop various packets at different power levels at different times in the Microwave. The recommended settings are usually...

My blog has a M.E.N.T.I.O.N in a case study!

Yep, on

http://www.bingness.com/68/wordpress-services/real-world-examples-of-modified-wordpress-themes/

The blog is called binginess – What they didn’t tell you about online business. The case study lists out some top themes of wordpress that were modified to look even nicer. My own carbon soot from the midnight oil is on number 24.Check it out!!

It’s a separate story that I trusted a complete idiot when hosting my site, the site got attacked by malware (and how) and I lost all my theme modifications and images, not to mention all plugins, a gallery worth 500 pictures and the database itself got screwed. What is worse is that I don’t think I will have the time (and patience) to build it up from scratch ever again, being a full-time MBA and all.

People, choose your webhost wisely. Nevertheless, check out the link mentioned. People actually looked at my humble blog!
