Lake Tahoe

This is...

The reason I start this posting is that I really want to talk about my absolutely delightful trip to Lake Tahoe. This would make a better picture post, but I would like try to do justice through writing.
wait for more updates.Meanwhile, savor this

changing times

And here goes an open post on The Hindu . This was in the Metro Plus for Chennai. For all those who thought Madras was conservative, surprise!
I think I might have culture shock when I visit India the next time. I still have the impression that I won't wear jeans (or trousers of any kind), go jogging out on the roads, and see a boy friend-girl friend relationship out in public. Looks like things are really changing. Someone needs to update me on what is going on there to help me be better prepared.

Perfect?

Sometimes what seems perfect, so pristine and right just doesn't seem to stay that way. There is more stress in keeping it perfect. This is where a little of imperfectness adds beauty and charm. Just unplugged from my surroundings..am I?

More talking while driving

Check this out!
Seems you can avoid collision by communication to the driver of the car when he misses a car in his blind spot..wow! no more zooming and zooping around, your car would take control of itself and move itself to a better and safer spot..do they ever think about accidents in the kitchen (grins)

Belated Deepavali Greetings

Heres a slow greeting that took time to land up on this blog:
Happy (Festival of Lights) Deepavali!
May the festival of lights dispel all darkness of fear, anxiety, failure, worry and evil in your lives and fill it with light of happiness, success, joy and prosperity!

Cheers Always!

philanthropic Google

Google is being philanthropic.
I am quite impressed at the different dimensions they are channeling their resources into. They are funding research in Kenya ..so on and so forth. Why not set up funds for supporting natural disasters? We seem to have quite a few of them of late: Tsunami, Katrina and the recent earthquake in Pakistan! Would be really helpful, supportive and right initiative at this point..

Tasking

And clearly, I am a multitasker. Somehow with just one job to do at one time, I feel very incomplete. But one of my management profs once told me, at any point in time you can give 100%. So if you are doing 3 jobs at one time, it is never possible to give 100% to each. You would best get off by giving 100% in all and that is what humans do. Effectively, therefore, you give 30,40,30 or something to that effect to each job.
But here is my take, so what if the percentiles are like that. If I still manage to put my finger in this pie as well as that, I have my mind already clicking for both the issues and in the end, I feel more in control of the situation.
I tried having just a single process to work on..and I felt, well empty and got quickly bored of the process. I strongly believe multitasking keeps my life more interesting to live and gives me more things to think about and work on!
