Compassion & Good Friends - The Key to Great Joy.

As sages and saints say:
Too much self focus and
That results in dismay,
Needless suffering, and pain.

Relish the joy of others,
Help them in anyway you can.
Compassion saves the day;
Appreciate, assist and hence gain.

There is no dearth of good
People on earth, a gem here,
A jewel there, and they let
You realize, life is just fine.

The joy, the passion,
To excel keeps man alive.
Hope of a better future,
Blessings of the near and dear.

Good friends are those
Only you can create!
To get great friends;
You got to behave like the same!

Wise are those who know of
This throughout. To mean, think
And do good, to give fellow
Humans a helping hand!

IIMB PGSEM SOP Essays.

The IIMB PGSEM application for 2008 had a SOP section which required 5 short essays to be written. Here are the ones I had written: Statement of Purpose How do you see the PGSEM helping you in your goals? (150 words) My taking up the PGSEM course has twin objectives, namely, self-development and learning all aspects of setting up, managing a commercial/social enterprise. Having worked in the software industry for five years, I have closely seen the software development life-cycle. However, there are several aspects of business and the economy that are of interest to me and I find the time ripe to explore these in a formal way, through academics; specifically strategic management of a firm, innovation strategies, and the scope of strategic consulting.

DNA newspaper plagiarizes my photographs!

The newspaper DNA (Daily News and Analysis - http://www.dnaindia.com/bangalore ) seems to have involved in not verifying its sources of photographs and having used my photographs (does this amount to plagiarism? I think it does) after it carried some of my pictures in the 'After Hrs' section of its newspaper on 31st January 2009, which I had taken at the IIMB Yamini 2009. It is good that they covered the event but they should have cited/verified the sources of the photographs. In all probability they or their sources just picked up the photos from my blog, with the belief that no one would notice anyways - seems they could not escape as luck would have it, I spotted them in the DNA paper on Saturday. It was early in the morning when as I flipped open the last page of the supplement that I was stunned to see my pics, which I was able to recognize immediately - however there were no credits anywhere in sight! Please check the photos below from the e-paper version on their website
