Thanks to chandru, who always gives us good articles, I found the following article about our Indian economy being analzyed by Raghuram Rajan & TN Ninan.  A real food for thought.  With my inlaws coming from a village where the primary activity is Agriculture and having experienced first hand how year after year, we had to spend money with no returns but a lot of debts, I agree with this article fully.  I have also given the link to this article at the end. - Explaining India’s economic troubles Posted: 17 Dec 2011 08:28 AM PST The most lucid insight comes from Raghuram Rajan and TN Ninan This is perhaps the best way to understand what went wrong with Indian economy in the recent years under the UPA.

This is one of the best articles about cloud, which explains in simple terms the different between the cloud solutionns and non cloud solutions.  As soon as I read it, I wanted to share it as I found it to be written with a lot of experience in doing up the cloud applications. http://gigaom.com/cloud/what-cloud-boils-down-to-for-the-enterprise-2/?utm_source=%23frankguillen&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign= FrankGuillen +Buzz

Two weeks and two travels to Bangalore for 2 different reasons - an experience in itself.  of course, both on official purposes to attend conferences The first was to Mobile Developer Summit - what a different kind of energy there was in the crowd.  A young crowd of geeks - who took pride in their apps milling around with enthusiasm and very interactive too. The venue was IISC and while things were very professionally handled, it was with no frills. the second was to Nasscom product conclave -  A professional high end kind variety conference right from the venue to the conference rooms, the presentations, etc.  Here also the crowd was going around with enthusiasm and very interactive too. the difference lies in that while it was geek squad, this was the entrepreneiural bug bitten crowd.  It was amazing to hear that in this is the decade of the Indian Products show and there are 4 billion $ products out in the market All made in India. Though the travel itself was tiring, as 

back to active work after a long time had kept me away from even visiting this site, as once I visit, I cannot resist writing. The next thing was what to write.  There were a lot of things happening around me both in personal, organization and social life around me so every time I would think, a nice subject to blog about, but the work overload would make me to push it to the next day. Ok, after having started back :  Let me term this as a confessions of about Daily5 goal setting.  Let me start with the context :  In our office, we are reading through the Robin Sharma's book :  The leader Who had No Title - a really wonderful book with every chapter, every page, every sentence and every word - a very very meaningful one.  If only we get to practice all those said in the book, then the whole world would be totally a different world.  Anyways, I hope some of us are absorbing at least 10-20% of what he has written - which would by itself create a vast change in the atmosphere.

Last month I got a promotion in life ..... and it was indeed a momentous occasion for all of us.  I have now become a proud grandmother of a baby girl Shayna, (the beautiful) who has turned one month old today.  What it meant...    It was last year, during the end of one of my trips that I learnt the good news about the upcoming arrival of the baby.  It felt very very wonderful and that meant that my priorities were about to change.   I started preparing a long stay with my daughter to help her during this wonderful time.  So began a long stay options in US.  While the first trip of this year - it was business and family and it became one week of business trip and one week of stay with my daughter.  it was pretty tough doing all these together, but it was worth it from both the ends.  Then I had to go back to Chennai to take care of year end work and other things.  So again, the next trip back here so that i can be with my daughter in the final trimester.  Now I am on my grandmatern
