Pictures from surroundings at Juniper

Juniper celebrated its 10 years of operation a couple of days back. The company that started out in 1996 as a router company held its own during tough times (2001-2002) and managed to stay ahead of the rest. Now, it also has security products in its portfolio (of which I’m...

Inconsistent GMail interface

GMail has recently made a few changes to their ‘standard interface’.They were pretty annoying at first, as I was used to the older interface. Some against which I have the biggest grudge are renaming of ‘move to trash’ option to ‘delete’. This happened may be a month back. Now they’ve...

More Vidhana Soudha

Sunil has digitally altered the Vidhana Soudha picture I posted earlier. He’s used The Gimp to remove people and a car. The Vidhana Soudha definitely looks better with this one.

My first shot from the Canon Powershot A610. It has been resized to 1024x768 by Flickr. I’ll check if I can post the original. This is the Vidhana Soudha in Bangalore. Observe closely… somewhere written are the words ‘Government Work is God’s Work’. Hope the politicians notice that soon as...

Linking Tax Sops and Employment Potential

The Economic Times (of India) reports that companies wil get tax sops if they declare the jobs they will generate and the economic benefits arising from the sops. I believe this is a great move. Almost all companies ask for tax sops. And many companies do get them [1]. The...

On Debates, Quotes and Good Workflow Management

“Just because you can’t think how it can be done doesn’t mean it’s impossible to do” - Amit Shah. Happens each time I get into a debate. People, with their limited knowledge, can’t think of ways a particular thing can be done by a particular way. Slightly off-topic: I’ve finished...

A. R. Rahman Live - Part III of III

There were about 80,000 tickets to be sold for the concert, there were just a few thousands out there though. The tickets were all funky, with bar codes and stuff. You could also call a particular number, where a barcode will be given to you on the phone via SMS....
