Happy New Year

I wish all my blog readers a very Happy New Year, Let the year 2007 bring in all the success and happiness to you all.
This year I felt the New Year celebration in Bangalore was more colorful and I could see more people on streets compared to last year.
I received many SMS, with messages saying that the network will be jammed on 31st December. But in fact our service providers were all set for more traffic for 31st December. They could manage it.
I guess Airtel, BSNL, HTUCH, Spice, Reliance, TATA & other mobile/Telephone service providers made good money on this New Year occasion. It is estimated around 1 Billion rupees!!!.
This reminds me the Hutchison-Essar deal; it is estimated to be around 17 to 18 billion dollars. So if you make right calculations, 10 such New Year occasions will make the company go past break even and make more profits.

After seeing the way food is prepared and eaten across the world i don...

Current Trends

How it all started In the year 2000, Y2K created fear among many companies. Lots of companies had to spend millions of dollars to correct this issue. IBM which created this code did not provide any root cause solution. But asked companies and clients to fix the code at the application level. And at the same time internet was a new phenomenon with lots of people wanting to have a web page on the Internet. But since the internet was still in its infancy, it could not provide any monetary returns. So there was a dot com collapse. When this was happening in the year 2001, 9/11 happened and shocked the entire world and all the markets collapsed.   Later, then the US government wanted to send a message to other countries, that the US market is very stable and incidents like this would not impact them. So radical approach was used to kick start the economy and also they went after the countries which were involved in attacks, which in turn required billions of dollars. But this inorga...
