Businessworld: The one-person global company Very intriguing article. Mahesh's articles are always fun to read. And I have been following his writing since the time he used to write in BT. Something interesting which I read in this article is eLance. I might be interested in trying it out :)

Selling Last week I was in Boston to attend a meeting with a prospective customer. Along with me was a senior Biz Dev director. He has been a shining star in the company over the last year or so. He had got the company big accounts and also pushed us into our non-voice BPO work. I had few minutes to ask him, what made his sales happen, especially when we were pitied against the traditional Indian giants or at times against the Big 5. His answer was brief and straight to the point - "Trust - its what wins you deal's. Personal Equation with the customer - When the customer is going to sign on multi-million dollar deals, its this trust and the personal equation he shares with the salesman, that allows him to sign on the dotted line."

Mitr Spoke to a old friend of mine couple of days back. Felt good! We talked after almost a year. Do things change over time? How you relate to someone you know change because things around you have changed or cos you have changed? Many close friends of mine, say I have changed. I dont think so. But yes things around me have changed. It was different when we were friends and in school or college. Its different now. Some of my opinions might have a different perspective now. At time's I have to curb the wild side. Sometimes I do. But have I changed? I don't think so. :) Ok! So I was talking with my friend and we hit the same old topic of do we intend to stay back in US or would want to return back to India. And this time I think I took the side where I would want to return back to India. :) My friend wants to be here in US. They have an offer to be back in Blore. And they don't know if it would be the right thing to do. Will I be any influence to the decision? Probably not! ;) But can I? ;) Anyways!! Sometimes I wonder "what-if" !!! We all have choices to make in our life, and I wonder "what-if" this was the choice I made in my life. Sometimes it can be amusing.

"The Power of the Google Cluster" Is google the start of matrix? Perhaps!! Maybe some of my friend�s interested in AI can comment on it.

Love Sid: Deepa, tum aakash ko kyun itna chahti ho ? Deepa: Sid: Kabhi mein soochta hoon, kyun koi kisiko chaata hai. ... Sid: Deepa, tum toh khobsoorat ho, intelligent ho, tumhe toh koi bhi accha ladka mil jayega. Deepa: Ittna hee hai toh muje Aakash kyun nahi mil saktha. ... This small conversation between Sid and Deepa (in DCH) provoked my thoughts. Yeah! Why does one like someone? Why does one love someone? And yea if deepa is beautiful and intelligent and can get any guy, why cant she have Aakash. Koi mujhe baatao :) Life is unjust to many people many times!!

MURDER Bheegey Hont Everytime I hear this song, wish I was a little younger and back in past ;) Sansen aach teri, tan aag tera Chhenain neend meri, loote chain mera Kala jadoo kare lambe baal tere Aakhen jheel teri, dore laal tere kabhi mere saath koi raat guzaaar tujhe suabh tak main karoon pyaar vo oh ho.... The singer has sung it with a lot of passion.. Hasn't he!! So are the scenes from the movie.
