Most will agree with me that F1 is not just a sport. Its a religion for millions around the world. The F1 circuits are considered the Meccas of racing. Here the fans breath the burnt rubber smell. A push on the acceleration is enough to give a kick. The chequered flag has been the cause for [...]

Economics is a confusing riddle. Its very easy to explain a phenomenon after it has happened than predict one. Some months ago, every one was congratulating one another on the success of the markets and irrational bull runs. No one could predict the bursting of the bubbles.

Having worked at Satyam for four years, every news concerning the company is of special interest to me. Every little win makes me happy, every little pain bothers my heart. The recent decision of the new Satyam management to creat a “virtual pool” of resources is a new innovation in this recession.  Rather than laying [...]

There are some things which everyone has agreed to. I don’t know waht to call these things. My be axiom. Don’t know. But, there are things which I refuse to agree to. I have a few examples but in this post will take up only one of these. People have “agreed” to condemn the Somali [...]

“The world is Flat” proclaimed the author Thomas L. Friedman in his book. Recently while going through the sequel, Hot, Flat and Crowded, written by the same author, I was some what in disagreement with the thoughts of the author.  (All due respects to his competencies.)
