Insurance Ads?
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged defiance, insurance on January 1, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Insurance as a concept has never been able to convince me. They’ll make such ads in order to make an average person nervous about his own life and make the most of his anxiety by selling him a hope that his people will be well taken care of, after him. Except, it would perhaps take [...]

My writers block and Vipin’s remark has gotten me into thinking – about the zillions of tips going around for effective blogging and gaining audience etc. In the west, blogging seems more of a profession where there are experts and there are novices and there are newbies, trying to learn. All wonderful, in the direction [...]

While a bunch of my bright batchmates would be cursing the subprime crisis for having curtailed the size of opportunities available to them, it looks like good news for a bunch of Indian companies.

Living in the middle of the so called high quality people is an experience in itself. Being in IIT, which figures prominently in the impact zone of Arjun Singh’s 49.5 percent reservation seems to have led to quite a bit of intellectual turbulence.. and a new found interest in the quality control.. to prevent the [...]
