Interesting Talk: East vs West

This is an interesting talk that I watched on T.E.D. recently. This is given by an accomplished Indian persona (Devdutt Pattanaik) in business (although he trained to be a medical doctor before).

He brings the topic of objective vs subjective worlds and how it works with people, cultures, clashes. He offers several tips on how to handle the process of doing business with Indians in India. Definitely worth the twenty minutes of your time (18min).

Mumbai Terror Attacks

My heart goes out to the victims and especially the injured in the Mumbai terror attacks. As I write this I am listening to breaking news stating that all hostages have been freed. However, more than 90-100 people have been killed by terrorists in this nightmare.

Indian Moon Craft Heats Up

The Indian space craft orbiting the moon (Chandrayaan I) heated up because of the moon and the sun lining up with the space craft.
For once I thought this was something which happened due to some malfunction, But it was just good old radiation heating. What a disappointing headline! It is not like it was a race car on a circuit that heated up due to excessive performance measures.
