In January this year, probably for the first time in my life I watched 3 movies in a theater in 4 days – Friday, Saturday and Monday! In all 3 movies as the end credits scrolled, one common thing that occurred to me was that so many people contribute to the success of a movie. While the number of contributors is definitely something to wonder …
As product management is gaining ground in India, we are witnessing newer challenges than what we had a decade back. Glocal, Global Village, Multi-site sounds awesome isn’t it? Yes, but the product managers will know that it takes a lot more than just sounding awesome. Remotely managing products can in fact be a nightmare, far from being awesome.

One of my uncle is a hardcore foodie. Once he overate this tasty snack of South India called “kodubale“. He developed severe gastritis and he had to be taken to a doctor.

Ever since my school days, I always found myself struggling in exams. Even after spending hours together on studying a topic, I ended up scoring average in my written exams.

During these discussions …
Narendra Modi Govt can really do well without unwanted distractions like the recent Censor Board Curse List controversy. These issues occupy media space for a long time, refuse to die down soon, and are unproductive for all the stakeholders. It is just lose-lose equation for everyone – Government, the Board and most importantly us, the citizens. They get etched in the memory of the people, derail the positive, development …

The “Congis” were conspicuous by their absence in this space. Clichés like “Honesty Wins”, “New Chapter in Indian Politics”, “Common Man Won” “Modi-Shah decimated” etc had a field day. The BJP supporters valiantly retaliated by saying “Kejriwal would …
This is the second of a series of my posts on the key take ways from the recently concluded Project Management National Conference 2014 in Hyderabad, India. This post talks about how Alyque Padamsee kept his presentation very simple and made his point effectively.
This is the first of a series of my posts on the key take ways from the recently concluded Project Management National Conference 2014 in Hyderabad, India. This is my interpretation of the concepts presented in the conference. Every time in the gym, when I am lifting weights and I find the last 3 or 4 of the 20 repetitions to be the most toughest …
When I bought a new car a couple of years back, I was very possessive about it. I did not like even a speck of dirt or a single scratch on it.
