Personal Branding Lessons from a Construction Worker

Personal Branding Lessons from a Construction Worker

We often tend to look up for inspiration. When I say up, it's at people who have already 'established' themselves, older people, successful people, wiser people. Well, sometimes, we just need to look in the right direction, and not just up.

Five Books You Need To Read To Understand The Gandhi Family And Congress

Five Books You Need To Read To Understand The Gandhi Family And Congress

Ram Guha laments in his magnificent - "India After Gandhi" that any history after Independence is seen as 'sociology' or 'political science' by Indian historians, which clearly is a fallacy. All history is history. Since the Congress (and by extension: the Gandhi family) ruled India for most of its post-independence years, it is but natural that most of post-independence history chronicles the rise and fall of the Grand Old Party. In my travels through Indian history, I came across the following five gems that helped me make better sense of our country under the Congress party. Read all of them - they are all pacy thriller-like reads - to understand the party's descent from Jawaharlal to Rahul.

Free Basics : Mutually Beneficial Benevolence Or A Gilded Cage

The results were even more bad publicity, loss of face and a sharp reprimand by TRAI.

Movie Magic: Lessons Of Life

Movie Magic: Lessons Of Life

“Picture abhi baaki hai, mere dost!”  So let me start from the very beginning.  I write this piece after listening to a friend speak of his first Bollywood movie screening in the city of Mumbai.  Unlike others who believe it is a waste of time, in its truth, Movies are entertaining, opens our mind to a dimension of creativity and the plot speaks of a story, a story for you and me to hear! The choice of cinema we watch conveys to our peers our taste in art and a nonverbal acceptance of opinion from people who believe in the story.

Will The Real Supply Chain Manager Please Stand Up?

What is an e-commerce company made up of? Do you see anything solid? Look closely. I see a web (no puns intended). What else do you see? I see a network of flows. What kind of flows? Product is moving, information is moving, and cash is flowing both ends.
