Just
as Penny of Big Bang Theory tells Sheldon “it’s not what it looks like” the
above topic is not what it actually means. I am not writing for or about any
MNC as they are famously know, but it’s working in the company of
multi-national personal. Ever since I have started working in San Francisco finally
the feeling of working in a foreign country has struck me. I realized that
working abroad isn’t just about living far away from home missing home only
when you are alone and down.
In
the last five professional years and 2 student years I have mostly lived in and
around INDIAN’s and...
The Caltrain Experience

It’s been 10
months since I have been commuting to office with the combination of caltrain
and bike. For someone who has never worked in a city using public transport for
commute was something new and exciting. Life is different and the value of the minute
hand on the watch begins to take importance. Difference between 7.59 am and
8:00 am is just a matter of waiting 30 mins for the next train and frustration
doubles when you are on the platform and yet the conductor refuses to open the
door that just closed.
Little bit if
background for people unaware of caltrain’s services towards bikers;...

Two guys started a company, one had a problem which he wanted to solve and other knew how to solve it. Soon they started converting their idea into a more tangible thing and they called it a product. Now they need to sell their product to make money out of it, but nobody knows what their product is and what it offers. So they decide to promote and market their product so that people are aware of their products so they call this guy Product Marketer, his role is to increase or create awareness about the product. Once the product is popular they want someone to sell their product...

In software industry there is something called resource management where they manage the work load of its engineers so that they don't burn out. They do this by some sort of rotation with in the company. They are either moved to a different team which has less load which gives them breathing space & also a different perspective about the product. This is a win-win situation for both the employee and the employer as the employee gets the knowledge about the breath of the company and the employer has it more people who are versatile.
In the ongoing AUS vs SL series we saw...

Hello All,
My name is Ravindra Jadeja, people fondly call me Jaddu but I would like to be called Mr Utility, because that is all I can do. If you ask any kid on the street what do u do in cricket ? He will answer I can bat and ball, same is the answer with me. I can neither win a match on my own with batting nor with my bowling. In INDIA I am the official all-rounder because I am a part-time bowler and part-time batsman. I am like the grad student who gets his tuition fees paid with half RA & half TA.
I scored 2 triple...

If 6 batsman can't do it 7 can't is favorite commentators cliche which Dhoni has taken it to the next level. Stuffing 8 batsman in a T20 game is like loading your pant pocket with handful of Parle-G biscuits, bound to crush. It's funny and tactful that his opposite number took a dig at Dhoni. It was clearly evident that INDIA lacked a front line spinner to pick wickets and stem the flow of runs. And it isn't a non-asian country that would tumble against our part-time spinners.
Dhoni's so called innovations read stupid moves some times go hey-wire and out of context and using Kohli when wickets...

The first T20 played at Bangalore has spelled more dooms for the INDIAN team. Yet another close game loss and yet another reason to shield. With no rain and dew factor, it was the batting collapse this time that was blamed. Little would any one question or address the real problem. which is our bowling. Weak bowling can't be hidden by strengthening the batting which is what INDIA does far too often.
In the last couple of years there were very few games that we have lost where bowling is exceptional and batting failed to live upto its expectation. INDIA is a land that produces good batsman from...

Back in the days during my Masters none of us knew how to
cook and the person with a practical cooking experience was hailed
the leader of the house. The food cooked by him was considered divine
and since there was no golden taste to compare with, every other food was
compared with it. The one who cooked well either had some magical
powder that they would sprinkle or had a Harry Potter's magic wand.
Vijay used to make awesome sambar back in those days and would
always credit the taste to his mother's magical sambar powder. Nobody
really bothered...
