I actually think that I am quite an emotional human being. But usually I try to hide that from people. But somehow I couldnt control emotions after i watched this lecture given by CMU Prof. Randy Pausch. I personally think that this lecture was the best I have ever seen. A brief back ground on the story - Prof. Randy Pausch is one the nation’s leading authorities on Virtual World Technology, an expert in HCI and Software Engineering.
He was recently diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer and has about 5-6 months of …

India is rocking and so is its business scene. An unprecedented growth rate of the economy, growing entry of MNCs in India, rising mergers and acquisitions by Indian companies abroad and the fabulous growth recorded by the service sector are all set to transform the business management scene in India in just a few years from now. “Managing in India is thus poised to become truly global-oriented and the managers will have to become adept in operating at global scale across multiple geographies, leading cross-cultural teams, redefining global …

I generally prefer to have interest provocating titles to my articles in order to encourage people to read through them. But let me warn you at the outset that if you are looking for a procedural way of putting together a good application packet, this article is NOT going to help you at all.

You can write the exam anytime in the year, and once in a calendar month. Yeah, that’s right, if you do not score well in your first attempt, you can always write it again next month …

I want to share with you all our idea and motivation behind this project. Its simple really - we want to show people a dream - people who are like what we used to be not too far ago from now - we want to show students and young people a dream and show them a way to get there. Here is a quote from a book that has recently come out, which goes something like this: “You were created to dream, empowered to plan and blessed with the insight …

This quarter i am taking another one of BJ Fogg’s classes. Its the much talked about Facebook class. Just for the purpose of being thorough - the official name of the class is - Create Engaging Web Applications Using Metrics and Learning on Facebook (CS377W). I love this course! I am just having a lot of fun in it. Now if you have taken any CS course (live databases, algos, programming, OS), you might know they are incredibly time consuming and require a lot of hours during the quarter. This …

I just received an email from Connie Chan (if you are stanford CS - u her know all too well!) - who is part of the Stanford Computer Forum - basically our career maker - who interacts and setups up company info sessions. And what surprised me was the company which was holding info sessions is Infosys! Its amazing that an Indian company is hiring right from the intellectual heartland of the US of A. And well TCS does some hiring from Stanford CS as well, but thats mostly from …
