This is probably my last post of 2008 so wanted to wish you all a healthy, happy and prosperous new year. Something happened today that put me in a contemplative mood. My roommate in India (and business colleague) had a horrible allergic reaction to something he ate today while we were visiting the Lotus Temple [...]
I’ve been here in India almost one week and I’m not exactly sure what time it is here in Delhi (or in New York for that matter). My guess on the time is usually within a few hours and, surprisingly, that seems to be working out well enough for me. You punctual people might find [...]
Sunday night was Hip Hop night for all you gringos keeping score at home. It was the first official party to celebrate Param and Ro’s wedding. As you can guess, it was a hip hop themed affair that was especially catered to the younger generation. What does that all mean? Let me try my best [...]
Saturday was my first full day in India. I arrived a day earlier than most of the US crew but was anxious to check out this country. I made arrangements at the travel desk to get a driver and a tour guide for the day. When asked what I wanted to see/do I told the [...]
When I was a young impressionable lad (think the late 90′s!) I used to write down all my “life lessons” in a marble notebook. I was experiencing and learning so much so quickly that I felt like I needed to put it on paper to make it real, and more importantly, make it part of [...]
That is a question I’ve been asking myself recently. Sure I like to write. In fact, it seems like I’ve been writing in one form or another over the past 10 years. In high school, I wrote for my school paper, the Guide Post. I enjoyed writing papers in college (especially this essay). I had [...]
Next week I’m off to India for a few weeks. The primary reason for the trip is to attend the wedding of my colleague and friend Param and his soon to be wife Rohini in New Delhi. From what I have been told, and what the invitation/booklet informs me, a traditional sikh wedding is quite [...]
I’ve been telling anybody that will listen that Digital, Energy/Climate, and Global business are the three biggest growth opportunities in the world right now and for our generation. No matter how bad this recession gets, or how long it drags out, at some point we will come out of it. When we do, the innovation, [...]
A few weeks ago the deadly and awful terrorist acts in Mumbai drew the attention of the entire world. As the tragic events unfolded I was torn between trying to learn more about what was happening and trying to block it all out. I have a flight booked/trip planned to India at the end of [...]
Many of you probably know of my fanatical love for St. John’s Basketball (if not, my post last week on the Johnnies can bring you up to speed). What you probably didn’t know is that growing up I was the second most fervent college basketball fan living at 80 Dickenson Place. Nobody, and I mean [...]
