Mining your case

Day light save ended today. Glad to gain an hour. It is all element of perception, gaining an hour or loosing one. Since about 4 hours now, I have been sitting with Enterprise Data Miner in SAS doing some data mining. Reflecting on my weekend, since thursday, I was extremely tied up with a case competition. It was an exciting event, learning to write a proposal, actually wrote one :) and presenting it to Corporate big shots. In effect, I learnt a lot, just pointers to what I learnt
* no matter how great your report is, no one reads it
* Use slides as bullet points, not as scratch pads with all your views
* if you know 'one minute elevator talk', you are going to do great
* freudian slips such as ' if you did not get a copy of my resume', instead of 'if you did not get a copy of my report' works like charm.
* never stand with your ears closed during the announcement of final results
* smile when being clicked, your picture might just appear on some website


well, was exciting, in all. I am done for now.will get back later
adios

beyond space and time

It makes me wonder what time would be a good time to write blogs. Should it be in the mornings when I can see how my day would pass by,or should it be later in the evening when I reflect on what happened during the day? Sometimes, I have had this sense of being able to affect the future..influence it in someway. Might sounds a little weird, but I think when I see the future happening, say like simulate it in my head..it usually works! Then I have this sense of Deja vu when the event actually happens..guess I have to stop here..I have some confusion over at my office.

Primera bloga

Ah oui! I am trying to blog again. This is my third attempt and hopefully, this spanish bird remains flying for sometime. Thanks to Rathish, I am trying my hand at writing again. I used to write a lot when I was younger(not that I am old and dying now!), I sensed freedom in writing..as I grew, I think I no longer wanted that degree of freedom. So, why am I back? To relive childhood maybe!
Blogging looks like an art to me..I wonder how different would have been the works of R.K.Laxman, Crichton, Ayn Ryan if they could blog..would they have blogged their plots away?. It seems sometimes really strange that I cannot pen down what I have been wanting to..as if there is this huge boulder between me and my keyboards. Well, I am off to a fresh start!
Hasta Pronto amigos!
