After the break....

Well I have always wanted to share anecdotal experiences from my stint in Sydney. As I assimilate those unforgettable moments and edit them into a few episodes (trashing the forgettable ones), let me share a few thoughts on the eve of the T20 final between Indian and Pakistan.

I have started to believe that two things that an Indian unwillingly inherits are 1) a passion for cricket & 2) the skill of "jugaad". While the former gives 50% of Indians a reason to survive their lifespan; the latter actually helps 100% of Indians to make their way through any challenge.

Today India Inc. is shining and we attribute a lot of reasons to it like investor friendly environment, available talent pool, improved infrastructure, strong education system, macroeconomic support etc. Rightly so but if we were to think deep, the key differentiating factors are derived from the above inheritance.
In corporate terms the first one is called the passion & zeal to excel and the second, art of innovation.

To be contd…

Murphy's law - My tribute

Thought I should pay my tribute to eponymous Mr. Edward Murphy.Why ?
Have you ever tried defying gravity? You might still succeed.
Try defying Murphy's law.It defies even the law of gravity.

Murphy's law states -"Whatever can go wrong,will go wrong and at the most inopportune moment."

Believing in it doesn't make life any easier but it does give a fresh perspective.

Enough said....

Will India win the T20 world cup ? What say Mr Murphy.
