Reading Thresholds of Motivation: Nurturing Human Growth in the Organization by V.S. Mahesh
An analysis of how companies can effectively nurture human growth and potential that combines Western thinking with Eastern philosophical traditions. The examples used are both Indian- and US-oriented. The Indian case studies present fairly common problems, but unique solutions. A great book full of indepth insight on the inherent perfection in humans and how organisations can tap and nurture it in its employees - full of anecdotes and real-life examples.
At times each and everything seems so strikingly similar to what he writes A must read. Got the book by chance at work in our library, when I went to browse through some of the books

Also reading Honour Among Thieves by Jeffrey Archer . . . Not a great story - borrowed it from a colleague !

Also trying to start Alice in wonderland and Don Quixote (unabridged) in e-book format on MS Reader !

ANY IDEA WHAT TO DO? Got the drivers from Linuxant.com and compiled using the kernel source and yet. . .
Kppp is not detecting /dev/modem seems /dev/modem does not exist - Lots of Googling turned useless . . .

Off to work again from tomorrow, was a bit busy the last week, some bit of pressure, for a module is to given tomorrow.

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. Getting ready to usher in acceleration in growth opportunities in my care...

Quantum Contrapt - Part 01

First short story in the 'CSlueth files' series.  Note: This is purely a work of fiction! 1. The dead body  Wednesday, Chalmers tekniska hogskola, 6:30 PM  He had just walked out of the classroom in the V building. For the past forty five minutes he had been coding an exciting dynamic systems simulation after having completed a late and rather boring simulation exercises session class. He had to take the road in front of the Chalmers Bibliotek library as he wanted to meet a friend staying nearby. As he walked past the Information Sciences department building there was a gust of cold winter wind that struck his face and he raised the collars of this jacket, sinking in his chin into its warm, furry interiors. It was December and it would get dark really early. It was dark now and hardly anyone else around.   He hummed a tune as he ran up the flight of stairs, the library was at an elevated level from the V building. He found himself humming some r...
