Getting to the Heart of it.

Posted by: Vijay on: April 8, 2009

I am reading the transcript of the conversations held by the Union Square Ventures, and reading a quote by Sir Ken Robinson (who is now fairly well known in the education circles for his TED Talk). In the talk, he quotes a note from the book “The Empty Space” by Peter Brooke. In a way [...]

Once life starts picking up the biggest problem for me seems to be managing time, and most of all trying to avoid the moments when I end up cross booking the time slot for two people – yep, that isnt an easy situation to get out of.
When I am at home, and during weekends, I [...]

The Right To Passage.

Posted by: Vijay on: March 6, 2009

I remember listening to a very wise man once utter the words that … “Every Civilization that ever survived and flourished, all had a culture of Right to Passages”. I am not sure if I heard much of what was said after that. My mind had already raced to a truth that I’d known innately. [...]

Will We Ever Change?

Posted by: Vijay on: February 2, 2009

Its 10:13pm. I just came back from IITM, after listening to a talk by Nandita Das on “Cinema and Social Change”. I have to admit that until today, I knew that the name had something to do with the Cine world, but I had no other associations of it. This is the first one, [...]

The Future of Living: How 3G Could Help.

Posted by: Vijay on: October 19, 2008

3G. WiMAX. There is an inevitable showdown waiting on that camp. That’s probably also the reason why the deployments of WiMAX hasnt picked up by much. If you ask me, there is credit to deploying the 3G – or a network that is based on the telecom network. Why? Reliability. Ever picked up a landline [...]

What Yahoo Should Possibly Go After. Part II

Posted by: Vijay on: October 17, 2008

This is a continuation to a Post that I had written Earlier.
“Yahoo could emerge with an edge, if they leapfrog into other verticals following the same web-based advertisement network.”

For a company which has entrenched itself in the media space, managing advertisements networks i probably the holy grail. I wouldnt recommend that Yahoo give up that [...]

Darn Twitter!

Posted by: Vijay on: October 12, 2008

Its so easy to Microblog. Twibble on my Mobile. Twitter Fox on all Desktops and Laptops that I usually access. Its never been so easy to jot down your thoughts.
Unfortunately it does seem like its eating a lot into my blogging habits. Its not like I dont have stuff to write about. I have close [...]

What Yahoo Should Possibly Go After. Part I

Posted by: Vijay on: September 12, 2008

So I know that there are a gazillion guys out there in the whole wide world, who have given “open” advise to Yahoo as to what they should do. I am neither an expert, nor am vested into the company to have such generosity towards them
A friend of mine and I, over some [...]

The Irony in the Media World.

Posted by: Vijay on: September 10, 2008

If there is one vertical that you MUST follow if you want to see some drastic changes happening, its essentially the media world. The way “media” is distributed, consumed and monetized is going to such drastic morphism that its hard to predict how its going to look like at the end. Like all things natural, [...]

Ideas to Toss: Energy Storage FAT?

Posted by: Vijay on: September 9, 2008

It’s quite possible that I am just plain simply crazy, but if you bear with me and try to understand how my brain and thought process works, I think there is most certainly an idea here.
So I was sitting through a Sustainability Conference in IIT Madras today and there was one talk on Energy Consumption. [...]
