Today was one of great business learning moments in my life… Got an invitation to attend the panel discussion of Business Gyan… To tell about Business Gyan in brief, it is a monthly business magazine to know more visit their site http://www.businessgyan.com…

I’ve been to many businesses networking clubs, they were all unconferences or open clubs, but this time came to know about professionally run business networking clubs… The amount of learning a professionally run club offers better exposure than open clubs…

I learned about 8 types of entrepreneurship, concept behind professionally run Business Networking Clubs etc… The panel members were highly knowledgeable and they gave a entire new dimension to the concept of entrepreneurship…

Next month there is a panel discussion on Entrepreneurship and if any folks like to attend just ping me, I’ve got some invitations…

I’ve requested for the videos of the event and if I get it, will pass it on to interested folks…

Tomorrow will be attending a business networking meeting at 7 o clock in the morning and it is strange that it is happening during the morning… Anyways will keep you posted on the experience tomorrow…

Thank you…

Last two days my brain almost stopped working and I didn’t find any interesting topic to write… That is when I thought I can leave it to my followers in twitter and I got couple of ideas…

I want to share some stupid things I did in business, some may be funny, idiotic and stupid but would be interesting to read… Let my rewind and start shooting them…

• First business meeting to get a corporate training project in a company in Guindy, Chennai. I didn’t know java nor any business thoughts… Still a student, I stood like an fool in front of their team… I didn’t give any appropriate answer in a meeting which lasted an hour… Today I can’t believe how I overcame such a situation…
• An inspector from Employee State Insurance (ESI) visited my offer… ESI is like social security an compliance which companies in India must comply… When that lady entered the office with and approached me, I asked her to get out telling I’m not interested in getting any insurance policy…
• Initial days I offered college projects for students to sustain… Three girls MCA girls came to office requesting for project… After talking a lot about java came to know those girls already completed a project in java and wanted to get a certificate… Ended up getting ragged by those girls…
• My office boy brought a guy telling he has come for interview; actually he is a marketing guy and has come to sell his banking product… For fifteen min I was taking the HR round and only after finishing my interview both of us came to know that there was a mess…
• I was hunted by Thiruvanmiyur police for two days and the constable found me after two day and yelled at me telling he was hunting me for 2 days… The address constable had been wrong and he somehow made it… I was scared a lot and he asked me to come to Thiruvanmiyur police station… When I visited the station I came to know that inspector was looking for a groom and the groom was working in my company and he was to get a testimony of his conduct… The way that constable took me to police station was very rude and I had high temperature once I came out from police station and recovered only after a week…

There are still more things, but these are the things I can immediately recollect… When ever I remember things, I’ll add them as sequel…

It is always encouraging to get recognition from people and when they write a blog about us there is nothing more motivating… I must take this opportunity to thank Yu Yu who is an ex-pat and helped me in hunting for people for internet marketing…

This blog of her has some word about me…

Next person is Swami Nathan we are neighbors and childhood friends… Swami is one person who reads my blog regularly and give me recommendations for my blog posts… In fact I must dedicate couple of blog post to him… This blog of him is has a couple of word about me…

Thank you very much folks…

WHAT IS TWITTER?
Twitter is a new social network (similar to Facebook) that lets you send messages to a huge range of people around the world. Your updates are limited to 140 characters, just like an SMS.

WHAT IS FOLLOWING?
Following on Twitter is like friending on Facebook – if you follow somebody you will get their updates. The main difference is that the other person doesn’t have to accept you as a friend for you to connect with them. I might follow you but you don’t have to follow me back.

HOW IS IT DIFFERENT TO FACEBOOK/LINKEDIN?
All of these networks can be used in many different ways – Twitter is just another option for you. I have found it great for connecting with a big range of people in different places around the world. Because each message is limited to 140 characters it means your messages have to be concise and that makes it easier to keep up with.

WHY WON’T PEOPLE FOLLOW ME?
There is some great advice about this at http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http://mashable.com%2F2009%2F01%2F06%2Ftwitter-follow-fail%2F – it really helps if you have an interesting profile.

Today was a smooth day and i worked from home, my mind was fully thinking about solutions to the challenges faced with delivery…Had detailed telecom with Mr.Bala Murugan to get his thoughts and we came up with some solutions

• Project Manager is over loaded with work, he
• Trains fresh programmers

• Review daily reports sent by developers and send it back to clients
• Review product development…

Planned to split his responsibilities and assign it to Team leaders so that PM can concentrate in his work…

• For last one month there has been frequent internet disconnection…   

Planned to take another internet connection so that we can we will be backed up when there is any disconnection…

Then asked bala to conduct a Audit on reports and documents done by BDE, Admin, HR & Developers… Since this is the first time we have planned to do an audit, I asked bala to review and prepare a due diligence so that it would be helpful for second and third audits…

Still struck with marketing strategy for Cogzidel Consultancy Services Pvt. Ltd. Pls visit http://www.cogzidel.in to see the services offered and let me know if you have any ideas to market the service…

Last one week has been extremely exciting days at work… Today had been pretty normal day.. Had no sleep the whole night as myself and bala had some good business discussion…

• Had a nice haircut…
• Went to Maraimalai nagar to see if there is any SBI… There is no SBI from Vandalur onwards… Confirmed it by making a call to Just Dial…
• Then went to Country Club and once again none of their managers were there in office… Poor investors, I think this is the company next to Satyam to con Investors…
• Then attended SBI Property Fair – 2009… SBI representatives told me even they don’t offer loan to empty plots… Must work some loan for settling Pre-EMI with IDBI…
• From there went to Chennai Citi Center had lunch, Aalu Tikki Chenna, Pani Puri & Swiss Coffee Mocca…

I’m writing this as a blog because I’m unable to think of a unique topic which I can write… Forgive me swami, still I’ve one request from you which I’ll will write it next week… Other thing is I’ve severe memory loss and thought you readers can help me recollect things…

1. Paying Pre-EMI to IDBI which is 100% interest just came to know a week back that pre-emi’s are 100% interest… Had been paying pre-emi for last 28 months which is of no use, still the principle stays in tact… It can be converted into post-emi only when I construct a building as per IDBI terms… I’ve no idea to construct any building at the moment… So, need to look for a bank which offers me home loan for just land purchase I can transfer this loan also I want to merge my personal loan with it, if there are any banker or if someone can help out would be appreciated…
2. Brought a Nintendo WII and the adapter got burned… Need to fix it and start using it… Also need help in finding someone who can fix adaptors…
3. Claim refund from Country Club for the land purchase I made… I recommend everyone to stay away from this company, totally unprofessional and they are conning people… My take them legally if they don’t give me a refund…
4. Must be regular to workouts and must at least reduce 3000 calories by this year end…
5. Write a book about my college days, already started writing it, must wrap it at least by this year…
6. Must finish writing content for cogzidel.com by next week…
7. Join a photography course and must become a good photographer…
8. Must tour Theni, Kambam, Thekadi, Kaniya Kumari, Munnar in next 6 months and shoot some good snaps…
9. Create platform get residual income by this year end…

I think I can stop with this and concentrate on this and try to accomplish all the stuff… I think I can spare some time from my professional responsibilities… Will write a blog next year same day to tell how many of these I was able to do…

Thank you…
