Over the last weekend, I was reminded by my brother of things I was doing in 2009. Things that were – leaving my full-time job at a e-commerce startup, and starting a consulting / mobile app dev studio. It was the time, when Android was just a kid, and blackberry messenger was overly over-rated. Me [...]
As always, when I’m a little high I get on this whole debate of “what / who is the driving force behind all the changes in our lifestyle ?”. And as always, I tend to take the open-source route. People find it annoying. People find it “just trying to be different”. But seriously, try to [...]
Here’s a very quick and low-down review of 20 North.com. Somehow, I always find myself always trying out new e-commerce startups (and not so startups), trying to assess what’s got them going. So far, I have really pissed off with one such, and mostly satisfied with most of the other remaining ones. But, 20North was [...]
It’s less than a 100 days(99 days 1 hour 51 minutes and 25 seconds to be exact) to go to the opening of the FIFA world cup 2010, and I’m literally losing control of my excitement to be an indirect part of this event. Well, I said indirectly (my work with ESPN revolves around Soccer [...]

I probably shouldn’t be writing this, being an ex-picsquare guy ;), but I just have to show some love..baby ! I’ve always wanted to buy some awesome designer tees, and have frankly tried threadless, but the shipping charges just blew me away.

This just in from a friend of mine. You will absolutely love the cartoon, and hopefully be able to associate with what the story is with service providers in India. Just for a little background, my friend works in a very renowned and sort after business-analytics company (forbidden to name here), and he made this cartoon out of the funny (or frustrating) scene while he was working for a renowned client (I bet it is as renowned as a 4-year NRI kid to know :) ). The lady that you see in the picture was the client’s representative and the poor guys you see all over, were my friend and his colleagues. My friend aptly titled the cartoon as “SALES FAKECASTING”
