If the title of the post didn’t make sense, don’t worry. It’s just my translation of “Privacy Gayee Tel Lene” (Hindi). I had a debate with one of the person (P) who doesn’t use Internet (at least as much as you and I do). K: Sir, We should not make ‘Phone/Mobile Number’ a compulsory field in the registration form. P: Why not? K: Sir, there are couple of reasons. First of all, users are very reluctant to entering their mobile [...]

I had a strange realization during my last alumni meeting. Every executive member of college alumni team is an entrepreneur/business. We do not have a single (except the college professors who attend our meetings) person who is a serviceman. Strange! All of us grew up thinking businessmen are so hungry for money that they keep on thinking about money all the time. They do not have time for families and relations. They have to work on weekends and they can’t [...]
After using using Internet for so many years, I’m pretty confident that I am one of the advanced users of Internet. Like any other advanced user, I install every new version (including the betas and Relese Candidates) of popular (and not so popular) web browsers. I think Google Chrom is the best browser available on the Internet today. It never crashes, is extremely faster and cleaner and lets me do all my work. Firefox was my default browser until last [...]
Today, I had an opportunity to meet a real life politician. While I’ll keep the name of the politician secret, I’ll tell you what I saw and learned. The politician was very prompt in welcoming us (I was with a group). He kept his time of the meeting and shook hands with us. He listened to us and also discussed his recent interview on national television. He explained the points he had made and also supported them with legal documents [...]
For most of my life, I totally sucked at this ‘interpretation’ business. It’s all about how you use ‘the words’ to your benefit. I first realized this ‘interpretation’ thing in one of the meetings when my senior colleague said, “K, it’s just your interpretation of the situation”. The situation made me look like an idiot among a bunch of intellectuals. For me, there couldn’t have been other interpretations of the situation my team had created. We had messed up in [...]
Guess what? I’m setting up a social network for my alma mater’s alumni association. I’ll keep you all updated with the happenings. PS: Now you know what all the ‘meetings’ were about
NOKIA Connecting Firing People Finally, Nokia is not connecting people anymore. Rather, it is disconnecting people by firing them. Nokia has decided that it will cut its workforce by 1% [Approximately 1700 people]. Go Away! Recession! -The Big K-
Why do people – 1. Include their birth day/year in their email Ids? Ex. amit1984@domain.com, lalit12_91@domain.com. 2. Say ‘noe’ to complete an English sentence? Ex: I told you noe? It’s so crappy noe… 3. Not wear helmet even after seeing people die in road accidents? 4. Try to lift 20 times their own weight in gymnasium? 5. Working in software companies talk in English with their kids? 6. From Pune look down on people from Nagpur? 7. Think that it [...]
I don’t get what TOI folks are up to. Look at my following rants – Lead India (?) – a Times Of India Initiative What happened to Lead India Initiative? Now they are back with new ‘Lead India’ initiative. The new site (link) offers you to make communities and there are quite a lot of enthusiasts who have created their own communities online. First of all, I want someone to explain me how creating online communities is going to help [...]
It seems that the readers are not happy about my latest posts. So I have decided to write something I think they will like. So, I am trying to be like INDIA TV. So I have decided to write something I did in today’s meeting. I had an opportunity to attend a round-table conference today. The fella next to me was at least 1.5 times my age. We were served snacks [Chips, Cutlet, Rasgulla & Dhokla]. Since it was a [...]
