So this cool ad for Sri Lankan Airlines in Newark’s Penn Station pitched the airline’s routes to … India!
There isn’t even a single mention of it’s destinations to Colombo or other Sri Lankan cities.
Not that I’m complaining, but … what gives?
OTOH … the photos are of a traditional women’s outfit (and hair-do) from different cities/parts […]

So I just wake up .. and realize that the bulk of my dreams last night had to do with iPhones and how to get one (including black-mailing a former boss, and begging uncles). And what I will do with it once I get one and how much of a cool/wow factor it will become.

I just read this great article on how to improve your company’s customer satisfaction levels using an extremely simple, yet effective, technique.
Basically, each time someone from the company speaks with a customer, end the conversation by asking a simple question “Would you recommend us?” (expand the question if needed “On a scale of 1 to […]

I’ve just moved to Florida this week … and what a week! For starters, check out our new digs … view google map! The weather’s holding steady in the 20 to 25 degrees centigrade range! And the water’s nice and warm for awesome swimming! And when it’s cloudy, the boardwalk is quiet enough for long […]

It’s a pain in the neck to see Ganguly and Sehwag go to bat against Bermuda. Everytime Sehwag goes ahead and improves the run rate, Ganguly comes back to mess it up again.
They’ve been at it for about 10 overs now.
WTF

The problem with shorter and shorter flights between India and America is that you go from nice and sunny 26 degrees centigrade to frickin’ -1 degrees in under 15 hours.
Nasty, nasty, nasty snow and hail in NYC/NJ. Makes me miss Bangalore soooooo much more.
On, in other news, most probably moving to warn and sunny Florida […]

I recently (ok, almost a month ago) promised more personal posts filled with wild-eyed-excitement. And the last three posts are all related to business, startups, funding, etc. What gives?
Well, for Surabhi and me … our business is our life. Whatever time we’ve had … we’ve spent thinking about our future, about our work and how […]

This post is related to what I read over at AskTheVC regarding founders looking for a new CEO. I believe it’s not just about the founders looking for a new (non-founding) CEO but also if a CEO is what they want or a COO.
Over the last few years of my entrepreneurial journey, I had to come to […]
