As The Economic Times says: The good Professor is back with a better mandate.
JAI HO.JAI HO.

A wonderful project

Dear Readers,
I have written about diversity earlier. Yes, diversity, in all its hues can create magic.
Today, the focus in the corporate sector is on creating diversity in the board rooms by having more women directors.
But, where do we learn about diversity and its value? At school of course.
Relyn, a wonderful blogger friend of mine and a school teacher has done just that. Look this up on her blog Come Sit By My Fire.
This book, created entirely by her primary school children, has taught them something we corporate folks are still grappling to appreciate.
Three cheers for Relyn!

A new google - Yauba!

Dear Readers,
Sometimes, brand names, become synonymous with the product. My Mum mentions that once butter was called Polson in India, or ghee (condensed oil, now out of fashion because of high cholestral levels) was called Dalda. These names are no longer heard of in India.
However, if you are doing a search on the Internet, you invariably say that you are googling. Indeed 99.9 per cent of the time, I am indeed using google.
Just the other day, someone asked on LinkedIn whether there was an alternative to google.
I found this today, thanks to LiveMint.com "Yauba, is a new online search application that protects privacy and allows browsers to seek anonymity".
Go try out the Indian version
This search engine is still in the beta stage. But I found it quite amazing. It will be difficult to break habits though. However, it is always good to have competition.
Best
Lubna
