Thank You!

I couldn't have done this without your support.
I owe it to all of you and would like to say Thank You.

Without you, I would not have been named "TIME Magazine's Person of the Year 2006".

Hey Kiran,
This is a "shot-in-the-dark", but are you from Vijaya college, Bangalore?
On a more serious note, I'm a student of Univ. of North Carolina (Kenan-Flagler Business School) MBA program.
Keep it up!

@Chethan: Sorry for the late response. And your shot in the dark missed the target by a wee bit. Am from National College, Jayanagar in Bangalore. So how is the MBA coming? Kenan Flagler must be one helluva place to gradute from.

Lifecycle of a software professional

The life of a software professional is full of insecurities. When you start out with your career, it is all about getting into the most reputed MNC. If a college-mate with lesser academic credentials that you got into a better company, with a higher pay, you'll have sleepless nights. Insecurities. A couple of years later, when you realize that academic credentials have very little to do with who ends up in which company and earns what salary, the angst at being underpaid subsides. The comfort of being part of "the" most famous IT company provides consolation for all the under-achievement. The next goal is to go to the US, and live there for a few years. When you finally manage to do that, it gives you a new high in your career. You are sitting in the US, and sending mails to all your batch-mates, who had gone past you in terms of salaries and achievements. " Sup guys, how is our India these days? I am missing it badly, although USA is a pretty neat place to live in ...

The Storm - A Short Story (Final Part)

As the car turned in to the little road leading to the mound, Bob quipped " You really think your car would still be where you left it, after last night's storm? " " Well, it survived because the storm was in a hurry to go to the top. Pity the barn was almost razed " Kelly said. " What barn? " Bob was surprised. " Old Rupert's barn. That's where I spent last night, and that’s how I survived the storm. The old man's a nice guy, although you wouldn’t know by looking at him " Kelly smiled. " I have driven by this road several times, and I don’t remember seeing any barn. Are you sure? " he asked. " Of course, but I have to ask Rupert about Joe's garage. There is no such place " she continued. " Joe's Garage? That’s where my dad used to work. But how do you know about it? " he was surprised. " I went looking for Joe's Garage off the first exit, and couldn’t find anything. Just an old house...

Google Fiasco

The Google experience has left me completely confused. It would be an understatement to call it less than satisfying. I certainly wasn't expecting the interviewer to ask me to explain the detailed algorithm used for AdWords . If I knew it, I would have been in Google already. He kept prodding me for the exact alogorithm, and what formula can be used for ranking ads in the AdWords product. Despite rattling off all the various ways to improve the ranking, I was still getting nowhere since he was looking for that magical formula. And so the "Aha" moment simply never came. Tough luck. I guess I was also plain unlucky in the fact that I was being interviewed by a person who worked only on AdWords, and therefore, focussed only on it. All my preparation on the wide variety of Google products simply went waste since he didnt seem interested or aware of most other products that I tried to lead him to. When he concluded with a " Google is looking for generalists who can work o...
