Breakfast Bonanza Or CISCO Router? LetsBuy.com - Answer Me!

Before I begin telling you my experience of buying with “LetsBuy.com”, let me first show you my latest ultra modern Cisco E2000 Wireless-N Router, which I bought from LetsBuy. I did a thorough review of wireless routers online and finally decided to acquire Cisco E2000; which is quite an awesome router for under Rs. 6000. Thanks to LetsBuy for offering me discounts and getting the product priced at Rs. 5899 just for Rs. 5310; not at all a bad deal! Blue [...]

Is There Any Talent Left In India?

by The Big K on March 12, 2011

Unlike most of you – I am serious about my country’s development. But the more trust I put in people, the more disappointment I get. I sometimes wonder whether there’s any talent left in India. I’ve been looking to hire talented people and all I get is copy-paste masters who think they can quickly fool any system and get away with it. The most disappointment comes from people who you think are ‘really’ talented. From Ankit Fadia to Hassan Ali, [...]

DTDC: Dedicated To Delaying Consignments

by The Big K on January 15, 2011

DTDC (aka Dedicated To Delaying Consignments) : It’s been four days since I couriered few posters to IIT Kharagpur. Even after four days, the status of the consignment on your website is “Out for delivery”. I think Blue Dart is better. Public opinion, please?

Entrepreneurship Sucks

by The Big K on January 13, 2011

Sometimes I think entrepreneurship sucks. You live in world full of uncertainty and also interact with tons of idiots on daily basis (it sucks more when they belong to IITs and IIMs). You’ve to be in control of everything – right from deciding what to do and how should your company progress. You’ve no one to tell what to do every day and you have to keep yourself motivated. Delegating your work is not as easy as it sounds. First [...]

Aurangabad Businessmen Book 101 BMWs!

by The Big K on November 23, 2010

Entrepreneurs Rock! Not too long ago, Aurangabad businessmen had created history by booking 150 Mercedes Benz cars. Now they are rewriting the history by booking 101 BMW cars on a single day! I’m impressed! Not just because they’ve done an awesome job and also availed heavy discounts on the cars but also because they did it to attract world’s attention to Aurangabad. They just got global publicity, possibly interest of investors and newer business opportunities. The city which otherwise would [...]

Narendra Modi’s Secret Visit To Mumbai & Bangalore

by The Big K on November 20, 2010

I always fall short of words while praising this man. The chief minister of Gujrat is surging ahead despite allegations against him and nay-sayers. While Maharashtra politicians are busy deciding ‘who gets what’, Modi’s busy planning for development of Gujrat and attracting all businessmen to Gujrat. Modi recently visited Mumbai and Bangalore to attract SMEs to Gujrat – and what else can we expect from a minister who cares so much about his own state. I sometimes wonder why Maharashtrian [...]

Will Kalmadi Be Put Behind Bars?

by The Big K on October 16, 2010

As I predicted, India won several medals in the Delhi Commonweath Games – at least enough for everyone to think India’s got sports talent and slowly forget about how thousands of crores of their money went into pockets of the greedy politicians. Now that the games are over, and Mr. Manmohan Singh has setup a committee to probe into CWG mess which will take 3 months to submit a report. Once the report is submitted, our energetic Prime Minister will [...]

PS2: Building a new startup is way more interesting and exciting than working for INFOSYS, [...]

India’s Got (No) Talent – Underground Authority

by The Big K on September 24, 2010

I am beginning to feel sick as I watch this episode of India’s Got Talent Season 2. The Rock Band “Underground Authority” is performing A.R. Rehman’s songs in their own way and everyone’s clapping. Judges Sajid Khan, Sonali Bendre and Kirrron Kher are enjoying. What the band does is take A.R. Rehman’s popular songs and sing them in rock style. All they’re doing is basically called “SHOUTING”. I appreciate the musicians, because they have the talent. But the vocalist is [...]
