My last days at IMT

the show is over
the curtains are drawn
the theatre is empty
an as i walk out
all alone
i look back over my shoulder
to what i am leaving behind
our heaven on earth
the place we called home
as i scan the area
memories come storming back
of friendships made and lost
some special moments shared
the fun that we had
those parties that rocked
the lecture halls we slept in
the amphi we partied in
every inch of this place
has some memory attached to it
those little things we did
that now matter a lot
those nights we spent talkng
the breakfast we never had
with a heavy heart
i turn away
and i see
what i take away with me
some invaluable friendships
some beautiful memories
these surely were
the best days of my life
and as i walk away
to a new life
a tear drops from my eye
coz its now time to say goodbye

India is to Cricket what Brazil is to Football

I write this as India continue their thrashing of South Africa in the 2nd test at Eden Gardens. We are from a nation that revers cricket, cricket players, commentators, cricket news or cricket in any form whatsoever. Even a hardcore football fan from India will sit on the edge of his seat watching the IPL and its spectacular turns. For children in our country, cricket is the first game they play (apart from maybe ringa-ringa roses) and a bat and a ball is what they live with throughout their childhood. Cricketers are huge celebrities and the game is considered sacred. The question now is, what happens to us when it comes to translating this fever to victories on the grandest stages. Our one and only World Cup was a gazzillion years ago when we were petty underdogs in front of a mighty West Indies side. Our Golden Era team in the early part of this decade reached the final of the 2003 event where we were tamed like lambs. 2007 world cup was a disaster and before we could rejoice in the

Satisfaction

What is satisfaction? How do you define it? How do you quantify it? And perhaps more importantly, how do you ensure it? I am currently with my 3rd organization with whom I have worked. Every one of these 3 are Indian organizations, I promised myself that I will work only with Indian firms. My belief was that Indian firms are not able to scale up and get to the level of other MNCs because all the best managers choose to work in Global MNCs (read companies headquartered abroad). Hence truly Indian firms are left behind with a choice of second rung talent. I vowed to change that. We all seem to speak of 'ensuring satisfaction' - of customers and employees - as Business leaders without really knowing how to quantify it. I have worked with leaders who quantify it in their own way - some with money earned, some with time spent 'at office', some with simply the amount the employee groans. Companies employ their own ways of gauging customer satisfaction and keep changing
