I am Back.....Again!
I am making my nth comeback to the blog, will ensure that this time I keep the thoughts flowing and avoid hibernation from time to time. I am now in Ahmedabad - have been here since June 2007 and must say that it is a great place to live. To all of you who want to know more about this wonderful city, get in touch with me and I will tell you all....... more...

Are We Finally Becoming a Sporting Natio...
Continuing from where I left yesterday, we all need to do our bit towards creating a wholesome sporting culture in our country where achievers are respected and rewarded equally no matter what their sport is. Creating "Haves" (the cricketers - who else?) and "Have Nots" (our hockey, athletics, billiards stars)  in sports is a completely unwelcome p... more...

Are we finally becoming a Sporting Natio...
The last couple of months have truly been wonderful in terms of sporting achievements by India/Indians in different disciplines. First, the national soccer team won the Nehru Cup out of nowhere, the hockey team won the Asia cup, the young and cricket team under the charismatic Dhoni won the Twenty20 cricket world cup and today Vishwanathan Anand ha... more...

5 steps to Improved Productivity
Friends, Saw this nice piece on Productivity Improvement and wanted to share it with you........One of the best ways to distinguish yourself at work is through productivity.

Is Performance in Sports linked to Econo...
Friends, I havent' posted a blog for a while - so here goes......! The cricket season has begun and true to form, with just six months to go for the World Cup, India does not have a settled team yet. Hopefully, we will see our big guns returning to form during the Champions trophy. It has been quite a dismal year for India on the Sports front so fa... more...

A Bit of Humble Pie........
Guess its' time to eat some humble pie. India's performance since the second innings of the first test has been consistently good. They were distinctly unlucky to miss winning the first test and are now in the pole position in the second test. Sehwag, playing when the pitch was was at its' best, shrugged of his recent indifferent form to crack a su... more...

Performance Based Pay for our Cricket St...
After seeing the way our overrated cricket team has misfired, stuttered and stumbled against the not-so-mighty West Indies, I believe we must seriously consider a performance based payment system for our spoilt, pampered stars. The system can be something like this:Batsmen - lets say a score of  45 per innings is par - if a guy scores 45 or above, ... more...

The Silver Lining
Amidst India's disastrous performances in the recent one dayers, the only silver lining if you can call it that, is Sehwags' return to form. Also, its' probably good the wake up call was delivered a year before the World Cup. Hopefully, this will prod the wise men in our country's cricket administration and selection committee to realise the import... more...

Management Lesson
 Management Lesson   One fine day, a bus driver went to the bus garage, started his bus, and drove off along the route. No problems for the first few stops - a few people got on, a few got off, and things went generally well.At the next stop, however, a big hulk of a guy got on. Six feet eight,built like a wrestler, arms hanging down to the ground....  more...
