Sports

During the last one month I have been very active in different sports. In the week of 5th Mar, I was in california and went for skiing, and believe me skiing was simply awesome. Next year I plan to have may be 15 days break during winters and go to Auli, in India just for skiing. During the week of 5th Mar, I was at Dallas and met some of my friends from IBM and we had a great tennis session and a night out playing cards, unfortunately the next day I missed my flight (all due to my credit card, its a long and interesting story). Anyways, I got a chance to come back and again play tennis with my buddies :) Currently at Taiwan I am very regular to swimming and its a great feeling. I am trying to imporve my dolphin stroke but my stamina has gone down drastically and its really difficult to practice the dolphin stroke, which requires great amount of energy. One of my dreams is to do skydiving :D.........hope someday, somewhere, somehow

After a long time

Its been a long time since I have written anything, partly due to my vacation at home and a hectic schedule thereafter. In the last 25 days I have traveled for more than 110 hours, more than 40000 km, 3 different countries and 6 different places. So its all work and travel and I am loving it.

It has been a great month for me, I had completed three important projects and published a paper. I never thought after my graduation that I would publish a paper, but it happened and it was great, the team was much bigger than what was during my graduation, so it was more thrilling this time. Though I guess the motivation and goal behind academic paper and business paper is pretty much the same.

A) For corporations paper or the process of paper creation plays an important, let’s see how

1) Customer Relationship Management

2) To stay competitive

3) Future technological development

4) Benchmarking

All these points are very important for an effective marketing strategy preparation.

B) For students also paper serves more or less similar functions

1) To manage relationship with guide and or to be guides/advisors (Relationship Management)

2) Paper boils down to better grades (competition)

3) Process of publishing a paper to a great extent helps to understand the level of research (Benchmarking)

In all paper serves a great learning and I guess every individual no matter where he/she is working can publish a paper. But I guess in corporations a team can always write a good paper which would serve a great learning for everyone.
