Everyday writings of Rajesh Jain. If you wondering who he is, just enough to know that he sold his web site to sathyam, before it became sify.com. He just sold it for a little over 300 crores. Yep, crores, no typo!.
Harini always tells me this, ‘Try Try Touch the Sky’. Thats what I can think [...]

With similar thoughts

Wednesday, April 28th, 2004

Education, especially for young adults, is very important. I blatantly believe in that from my very roots. Needless to say, it is a core problem in India.
Prayatna, very sweet name, is my lastest find in the world of personal blogs. Satya, who has passion for education and media, was reflecting myself in some ways.
Cherish [...]

A modern day Titanic

Monday, April 26th, 2004

Queen Mary 2, She was indeed humongous, but strikingly beautiful. We were fortunate enough to see her this past weekend, twice when we drove past her when she resting in the docks and then last night when she departed to england, accompanied by Queen Elizabeth 2. We were even more lucky to have witnessed these [...]

The World of Tamil Blogs

Sunday, April 25th, 2004

Shame on me! Not once before I attempted to find out if there are any blogs in tamil written/read in tamil. Thanks to our friend Sathya, who took the pain to let us know some blogs in tamil. Its great that tamilians, wherever they may be, are not far behind. Here is a list for [...]

Can’t stop being overwhelmed

Friday, April 23rd, 2004

The world of blog continues to amaze me everyday. It appears like another revolution to me. Especially for countries like India, it can play a major role in free speech and open media. I am totally impressed with the number of people from India who religiously write their own blogs.
I was here today http://a4avaiz.blogdrive.com/ [...]

I have been keeping my weblogs personal so far, but thought I should start writing random thoughts on technology as well, so a new category from today!

If you work in IT, I bet you must have heard of this, unless you [...]

New site statistics

Tuesday, April 20th, 2004

I just added awstats to the site, so visitor statistics is available. Nice to know how many people visit our web site and how long they spend their time.
Dont panic, you still have all your privacy to visit and read and comment on whatever you would like, I have absolutely no way of knowing [...]

Darker side of living in googled world!

Tuesday, April 20th, 2004

True, what we use is less than 1 percentage of our brain, but I am just tired of information in this eWorld. Its exacerbated by the damn google tool bar inviting every word that I can think of, to fire a search into the eWorld. Hard to imagine what I would turn out to be [...]

Creativity & Education in India

Sunday, April 18th, 2004

Shortly after I moved to US from India, I was deeply struck by the importance given to creativity and innovation, especially in schools and universities. I soon realized how much I have missed and lacked. Cultivating creativity, promoting innovation, and encouraging risk-taking, especially among children and youth, has been totally lacking in India. It is [...]

Impressive run in the last two months

Yes, I have completed ( in full ) atleast three books in the past two months : Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown, Management Challenges for the 21st Century by Peter F Drucker and the once famous, Business @ the speed of thought by Bill Gates. Its pretty amazing considering I had read no book [...]
