I saw this Complan TVC where they show results of an experiment, where the set of kids having Complan grew by 6 cm as compared to 3 cm for the group that did not have Complan. And then comes the claim:"Kids who drink Complan grow two times as compared to those who don't"Picture this. A brand manager would have got this flash of thought one fine morning and decided to conduct an experiment to see

Long time since I blogged ...Came across this site http://pricebook.in by eBay.in Motors. The homepage has the following claim:"Predicting used car and bike pricing made easy Based on actual sales data of over 2,00,000 vehicles"Its easy to be impressed and get carried away by such a huge sample used for estimation. I am sure the model has been built

A random thought crossed my mind as to what would happen to my online existence once I am dead in the offline world. Come to think of it, a significant time of our day is spent online. So many conversations happen with people over chat, mails, blogs, forums, etc.. When was the last time we viewed our bank statements using a passbook?Suppose I die tomorrow, what happens to so much of me online;

Below is a mail I had written to the Chairman of SBI. My regrets from that have been highlighted in red.____________________________________________________________________Dear Sir, Please refer to the mails below for a shocking piece of lapse in account security at SBI. I hold an education loan account (number) with your Andheri (W) branch. To begin with, I had to haggle for over a month to get

Another world record for Yelena Isinbayeva of Russia.She vaulted 5.05 m which is fantastic considering it is almost 2 floors of an average Bombay building. Well, you might be wondering whats the big deal about putting stuff that is doing rounds across all news sources up on my blog. What is interesting though on the Major Achievements section at the above link is that she has broken her own

I took one of these personality tests following link from a friend's blog. When I first saw her results, we had a conversation over it (pretty interesting one at that...check out her results and you should be able to take a good guess at the interesting bit ;) ) and I asked her to predict what would mine be and she guessed(i m sure it was a wild one...the guess I mean :P) Abraham Lincoln.

I happened to see one of those stupid chain forwards on orkut messages which claimed orlut raising 1 paisa, for an IIT Bombay grad suffering from some God forsaken disease, for each person who receives the mail. And yes...it was from a fellow B-school grad! It just transported me to times when these were so rampant through e-mail...which led me to thinking how e-mail has changed (yea yea...

I have been trying to get a driving license in Bombay (yes I can identify the city by that name only!) through the right means for years now. I suffer from Post Polio Residual Paralysis (lymphosarcoma of the intestine anyone? :-) ) - no its not even remotely as dreadful as the cancareous condition. This primarily affects my right lower limb- which means I cannot operate the accelerator and brake

To a software professional, the title would result in a compile time error since every Begin must have an End. Life too, has phases that must begin and end including itself. However, fortunately life can be compiled piecewise and run the same way too :)Around the same time last year began a phase when I felt the need to take a break from these mundane Begins and Ends, the daily chores of software

Finally I write a blog after a long hibernation. And what is the blog about? Its about the last two days when I ve been hibernating........but of a different kind....from work. So we have a blog about hibernation after a long hibernation from blogging. Ok ok.......I promise not to use any of "hibernation" or "blog" in this post again :-)After strenuous working of about 10 hours a day 7 days a

Its 31st Dec 2005 and I am on a deputation in Chandigarh. Well… nice opportunity to spend the New Year night out, away from home…… one would imagine. But, we decide to take a trip to Amritsar to visit Harmandir Sahib (better known as The Golden Temple), Jalianwala Baug and, as the title would suggest, The Wagah Border.Getting up at 4 in the morning in temperatures touching the lower units was
