Happenings

I’m learning Joomla nowadays. Fiddled with Orkut apps for a couple of days. Plan to continue that. Pinaki’s initial social n/wing idea is almost shelved for now. We’re thinking up new ideas and will see if anything is worth starting work on. Have to find a wholesale supplier of organic produce in Hyderabad. Internet isn’t

Rats!

Went to my first sales meeting at CSC today. It was a disaster. I made the same mistake I had about 4 years back at an interview – insufficient preparation.

Terror so close

I never expect that I would be untouched by the world outside, and the world outside isn’t such a safe place nowadays. A tragic news reached me today – a batchmate from college was grievously injured in the recent bomb blasts in Delhi. His fiancee was killed on the spot while he is battling for

Lost deal and new developements

Well, we lost the catering contract for this Sunday. We proposed an alternate solution where our cooks would cook the food and the raw material would be procured by the clients themselves – at a fixed lower price.
