10 points for happiness…these are the result of my observational skills and personal experiences…results and consequences may vary among different individuals…but more or less, these work.. • Whenever you are angry, frustrated, dejected, anxious, call a friend and start complaining about the surging petrol prices. Surprisingly, you will realize that your emotional turbulence will end and a frantic positive energy will run through your veins.
The glossiness of the chandeliers to the glassiness of the interiors nothing could outshine the sparkle in the Aspirant’s eyes as he absorbed all the honour he was bestowed upon in the banquet hall of a premium (countless stars) hotel at prime time when rates would be supreme (For the record he couldn’t afford the small pegs at that place during happy hours). His hands shook as he accepted the cup of coffee, bakery biscuits too were complementary with it and with a keen gaze he stared at the podium in front of him with the banner ‘Why Not MBA.’
The Indian woman seems to have moved beyond the social boundaries that restricted her to make her presence felt in all spheres. She is taking the route that the women in the west took, perhaps a hundred years back. Her own individuality as a woman is gaining focus and a clear example of the same is the cultural shifts in marriages in India. Changing Cultures in Indian Marriages Starting right from moving out of the traditional arranged marriage set up, women in India are redefining culture. They are not only rubbing shoulders with men in professional spheres but also taking a lead in personal relationships and marriages.

So here’s a disclaimer. There is no real love story in this piece unless you consider the love of football and of management techniques (snort). This was just to make the title appear more snazzy and to attract a wider audience (something marketers would know all about). However, this piece does have a consultant and he does take charge of a struggling football club and maybe he does win the title but you’ll only know that if you read on. So let’s begin with our “A long time ago in a galaxy far far away...” bit.
On Bitcoin, most of the world will usually fall into one of two opposing camps. In one camp are the technologists who comprehend the true nature and the full potential of this innovation. These are believers who unfortunately refuse to acknowledge any weakness in the Bitcoin system. In the other camp are complete naysayers - generally economists and finance guys, who are basically unable to comprehend the technological innovation of Bitcoin, and are content with making general disapproving noises about the concept. I will try to provide a balanced view, for which it is important to appreciate that Bitcoin is indeed one of the greatest-ever innovations in finance. It is definitely a lot cleverer than any of the theoretical bunkum taught in B schools' finance courses - capital asset pricing model, alpha, beta, Black Scholes Model, blah blah.
This articles draws a parallel between several stages of AAP’s evolution and some companies. Each of the 6 perceived stages of AAP’s existence till now are compared to a company.
My mother is an artist. She paints, sews, carves, crochets and does all kinds of very creative things that, as a child, I used to look up to with eyes of awe. I wanted to become as adept at all things artistic as she is. But, the day I picked up a crochet needle (or whatever that instrument is called!) for the first time, I knew that the particular gene has skipped a generation. Never mind, life still went on for me. I studied, scored good marks, studied more, scored better marks and kept adding to the length and dimensions of my CV. Later in my life I started drama, painting and writing as proxies to the creative legacy of my mother but neither could I be as good as she was, nor a natural as some around me were. I always wondered whether it was realistically possible to be equally good in studies as in arts. Anyways, life has its own ways, those highly creative people went to schools of art that hardly anyone ever hears about while I went to schools that makes everyone take a note and this complex of mine (about not being naturally creative) was covered up by a certain superiority complex.
