Its sad that one of the leading online shoppers in India has committed such mistake. (incase you haven’t figured it out, the picture is of iPod Nano, where as the product they are trying to sell is something else) My earlier post on online shopping in India.

Added white background to the posts column and added navigation links on the top of every post. Now you can also add a particular post to del.icio.us for better tagging and search. While […]

I am feeling beautiful and happy. And let me warn you, I am not yet placed 😀The world is full of new ventures, new ideas and new things. Everyday I see something new happening somewhere, something so simple and beautiful being done by somebody out there, thanks largely to my net connection. I couldn’t wait […]

Aah, back in campus, nothing new to report as of now. The world is still round, weather is still frigging cold, Sachin is still scoring centuries and people are still fighting over oil and food. My trains both onward and return were delayed as usual and train stations aren’t getting any better. Taxi/auto wallas still […]

Meanwhile you too have fun.

The way Indian online shopping is shaping up only suggests that it will take several years before the market matures… an incident to back my argument. A couple of days ago I have ordered an iPodShuffle from one of the leading shopping sites in India. After a day I got an email from them saying […]

The traditional theories of corporate finance have 2 viewpoints. They are, Shareholder value maximization is much more important than growing ones own limbs, stealing office stationary and gossiping at the water cooler. No one ever bothered to read the second bullet point. But the world from now onwards is not going to be like that. […]

I am not sure if this post will help you, but it will surely help me. Today something interesting happened here. One of my classmates lost his rather valuable electronic gadget. He forgot the piece of circuitry somewhere and later mailed the batch that it was lost. Later in the night when I went to […]

All the best for CAT 2005 Aspirants.

I have been thinking of upgrading my old speakers to a better sound system from quite sometime. Well, finally got rid of that extra 1300 bucks in my purse to purchase these new babies. Now I can give rest to my 4-year-old speakers. Tata old ones & Welcome new ones

Somewhere during the IRIS and loads of sleep and laziness, my blog has finished 500days of existence. Congratulations PHD 🙂
