Commanding Heights......

I recently completed a book "Commanding Heights" by Yergin and Stanislaw - it is an amazing read . It takes you down through the ages and shows you how in spite of changing times the basic tenets , underlying assumptions on which the human society is built has remained the same. It has a special chapter on India and correctly predicts what would have happened if the ecnomy would be liberalised - just yesterday the BSE sensex reached its higher ever closing of almost 19000 points. It also makes a detailed analysis of things that went wrong - what prevented nations from becoming great and also showcases a few indivisuals who by the sheer dint of their beliefs and conviction changed the course of history. It is highly recommended read and makes for a very enlightening experience.

Life comes at you - fast !!!

Nationwide says "Life comes at you - fast !!!". Who can be more cognizant of this fact but me :):) I have been thinking of doing so many things for the past many days - cant seem to be able to find time for everything. It has been a free-wheeling life till now - however, there have been some recent big changes in life - and they are good!!!!

The "Good" Life.

I had a long discussion with three of my clients yesterday. Topics ranged from the mundane to the exotic - we talked about how life was different in the states from India, how I have grown ,how I have done a "GREAT" job - how I am prepared for moving on in life, the favorite sports in India(one of my clients is a big sports buff - we had a long talk about cricket) , about my personal life(I believe in keeping my personal and professional life separate but made an exception here!!!!) - it was a freewheeling discussion for almost 2 hours..I was pleasantly surprised to say the least :)
