Antara Bose of The Telegraph says, "XLRI alumnus Abhijit Bhaduri is ready with his second book that will hit the stores sometime in September. Abhijit’s first book Mediocre But Arrogant (2005) was a bestseller and he may hit the jackpot again with Married But Available (2008)."
My kids have known this always. My wife always sides with them. So she does too. I denied it for a long time and pretended to love it. But today I am announcing it. I do not understand rap.“Rap is a way of life bro’. Wanna rap? You gotcha live like us - the ghetto clothes. You gotta dress right … like a gangsta. Give attitoood and you’ll get it.”, the guy offered me the first AHA experience about Rap.
He walks in to your office and in a move that has clearly been learnt from hours of watching soap operas. He whips out his resignation letter and hands it over to you. Your heart skips a beat. You want to show your emotions - but there is a voice inside you that says, "Down boy!! ". You want to jump with joy. You pray that he joins your competitor, because that is the only way the average IQ of both organizations will go up.
He is a networking junkie. At 1:54pm on 18 July 08 his Facebook page lists 992 people as his friends while on Orkut.com his friend count is an inconsistent 995. Clearly some of his friends from Facebook are avoiding him on Orkut. But then the list is fairly dynamic I discover because by the time I shuttle between the two sites his friend count on Facebook is up by one. He is also on Twitter and Plaxo (and these refer to networking sites and not medication).
Georgia also boasts of the world's largest aquarium. If you are a Civil War history buff, this is a good place to visit. Of course for me Georgia is always associated with the Margaret Mitchell, the author of the classic Gone With The Wind. Her house at 990 Peachtree Street in Atlanta is a tourist attraction. The locals point out at this also where she was killed in a motor accident in 1949 while on her way to watch a film.
Organizations have to make a choice. Should they just buy out managerial talent or grow their own. The short term solution is a no brainer - buy the talent. That usually means fishing around in organizations which have faced similar business challenges as you are. In hiring talent from another organization it works well if besides the work experience fit, there is a match between the values of the two organizations.
A bunch of rich kids have spent five years hanging out together. They drive around in fancy cars. Lead responsibility free lives. One of them is a poor boy - we know that because he said he cannot afford a cell phone and only has a land line. He is in love with the rich girl. Everyone knows that they are in love with each other, except the "each other" in question. Will they get to know that they have always been in love is the big question being answered in the film.
India is a complex puzzle to understand even for Indians. Just when you think you have summarized your understanding of India into simple sentences, you will come across evidence that totally undermines your beliefs. It is a picture that is continuously evolving. What you see around you is at best a snapshot in time of a billion plus people that are incredibly diverse. An Indian in two different states of the country may celebrate the same festival but know very little about each other and have limited exposure to the overarching Indian experience.
Your favorite team member just walked up to you and announced that she wants to quit. You feel a rush of anger creeping up your spine. Here is the person for whom you went out on a limb and got an extra bonus payout and not to forget the schmoozing time with the big cheese that you spent highlighting this team member's achievements. As they say in T-Group labs, "This is the time to get in touch with your feelings."
