Judging a Business Competition

Got an opportunity to judge a business competition the other day.

After having met, interviewed and lectured a reasonable size of business students, it was rather reassuring to see the students are being guided well. The event was at one particular institute - so i will reserve my comments to generalize.

The students were given questions to answer in 30 secs. These were not knowledge based questions but highly situational and required some quick thinking. Some of them were really difficult!

But all in all - a great experience. Will look forward to more in the future.

300 or what ?

yes - this is rather late a post. But i was always wanting to write about this movie 300. But unfortunately - just couldnt garner the time to do this effort.

They rightly claim 300 as not a movie but a next step in movie making.

Our eyes are the most important senses and we probably believe the eyes the most. Ergo - what our eyes like - we like and we are ready to pay for it. Hotel chefs teach this to their new kitchen staff. If it looks good - it'll taste right and serve well.

The movie is beyond stunning. Its not the story, not the 300 odd well chiseled spartans, and neither is it about the event in itself. Its the feel of what you call CINEMA.

Music, sounds and of course the action sequences, all bundle together to bring you a totally spell bound experience.

BTW - has anyone caught the 3D version of this movie ?

Married to work ?

I heard someone say that he is married to his work.

Technically there is a major flaw in this statement. If he is married to his work - then he definitely doesnt like his wife (work). This claim will be supported by all married men. (trust me - this comes from experience)

Secondly - if he is married to his work, he is definitely thinking about a younger, hotter piece of work that he could 'do' had he not been married to his present work !

Thirdly - since he is married to his work, he is not allowed to leave his work and focus on anything else. Which brings us back to the cause of this boring post - work !

its rather late and i am bored in office !!

Angling for Fish !

My very first fishing trip ! And ..... yes ! We DID catch a fish !

First of all - its a rather SOLO activity. Its not really a group activity unless of course all of you carry your own anglers and cast. Else you may just find it really boring watching your friend cast and reel in the fish while you sit around like some chump.

Read the latest issue of Poora Poona to get some gyaan on Angling. I too am learning - so will keep you posted as i go along.
