Hansel and Gretel
Have you ever read the story of Hansel and Gretel? Do you ever want to go back to your childhood and remember those days?
I got up to a rainy saturday morning in Chicago to watch this new advertisement of AT&T . It had Hansel and Gretel walk out of a subway station. Just as they did in the past, they start throwing breadcrumbs on the way so they can retrace their steps back. Unfortunately, events like people stamping the crumbs, pigeons eating and stuff falling into drain holes make them lose their path. That is exactly when they have access to at&t that has their path traced back.
I am really feeling lucky today that i could see this old story in an advertisement on a saturday morning.

My Daily Dose of India
Remember the time of the day when you opened the door to see a glimpse of the kid throwing a newspaper at your doorstep? That morning news paper in India whether it is The Telegraph, The Stateman, The Times of India, Deccan Chronicle or Regional papers.
I know i am so far away from my own country,India. But technology has given us a whole new world of epapers. That is exactly what keeps me in touch with India. Be it the Bollywood actors and actresses or the spicy Indian Politics or news from my country, I love reading
The Times of India Online
I read the newspaper every day and clearly feel lucky to have technology spice up my day, everyday.

Bulls - Chicago is Proud of You
Chicago was all set to watch the crucial and final game of the 1st round playoffs between the defending champions - The Boston Celtics and Chicago's very own Bulls. The stakes were high but Chicago had nothing to lose - they were the under dogs that proved "where amazing happens" was true in the NBA. With one of the best playoffs in history that had 6 OTs, this was a game worth watching.
Unfortunately the Bulls could not keep up the pace and lost 109-99. As the coach mentioned - the game is not yet over. This is building out to be the best team and will be worth watching in 2010. The key will be to retain Ben Gordon and to keep the spirits alive for the rest of the team.
Chicago truly said - I am feeling lucky today.

IT Companies are running away from West Bengal
We have been reading articles on the internet and hearing news in all Indian channels that West Bengal is beginning to become a nightmare for investments due to the challenges being put forth by certain political parties.
The first in the line of fire was Mr Ratan Tata and his dream car. Even before the steering was aligned, the wheels has to be taken off as Mamta Banerjee has her way.
It is a pity that the India of tomorrow still does not realize that petty internal intra country political mileage gains lead to nowhere when it comes to growth of the nation. Had this been China? - the folk there would have been happier to make things happen for Mr Tata and also look at placing a tag line on the dream car "made in China/by Chinese".
I am from the IT fraternity and as i was reading through other articles, i realized i should probably put my views in here. Thanks to the lessons learnt by Mr Tata, others seem to have found the right ways. No one really wants to risk being in Bengal and get a double stab in this economy while they are already competiting global market situation.
I was reading this article from times of india on Satyam Pulling Off from Calcutta. I think every IT CEO and CIO have seen the promises made by the state fail at this stage and given that they have not made any investments yet, each one of them is happy to say
