Books: Losing My Virginity by Sir Richard Branson

“Only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about“- says Richard Branson, the one who is very often talked about.

Books: My experiments with truth by Gandhi

It’s a story of a simple man who lead millions by his strong character and great leadership.
Though I have to be honest that some of the characteristics of Gandhi; like his experiments with home medicine; are kind of hard to swallow. His small seemingly craziness however is instantly forgotten when you read his adventures esp [...]

In conversation: Veronica Belmont, co-host of Tekzilla and Qore

Recently I met with Veronica Belmont, co-host of Revision3’s tech-centric show, Tekzilla, and Qore on the PlayStation Network.

I am not saying [...]

use remote control

one thing I have learned from my experience (and I feel even stronger after reading First Break All The Rules ) is people are happier & more productive if they are set free.
By setting free I mean finding a talented person for a job, setting goals for her and let her do the job. Many [...]

Talk to her

I am reading this book First Break All Rules these days. This book is about what great managers do differently, it’s quite a good read.
One thing about great managers is that they care about their team members – both professionally & personally. I always thought that may be because I am a woman, I have [...]

O Gandhi !!!

Gandhi & his character are so fresh in my [...]
