This is a true story which happened in the States. A man came out of
his home to admire his new truck. To his puzzlement, his three-year-old son was happily hammering dents into the shiny paint of the truck.

The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy’s hands into pulp as punishment. When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital.

Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he
finally had to amputate the fingers from both the boy’s hands. When the boy woke up from the surgery & saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, ” Daddy,I’m sorry about your truck.” Then he asked, “but when are my fingers going to grow back?” The father went home & committed suicide.

Think about this story the next time someone steps on your feet or u
wish to take revenge. Think first before u lose your patience with
someone u love. Trucks can be repaired.. Broken bones & hurt feelings often can’t. Too often we fail to recognise the difference between the person and the performance. We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge.

People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever.

If you are in India do you remember all the Maruthi Ads “where ever you go you can find a maruthi service station”… In spite of all that finding a road side mechanic is a common site.

Have you ever thought if it would be good if we have a roadside mechanic for all your system and software related issues. Even if you had are they available 24 hours? Are they capable of handling all the issues? Are they qualified and have right testimonial?

If yes your entire wait is over. Understanding this gap there 6 professionals who have left there high paying jobs from IBM, Slash Support, Wipro, Sutherland and started a service to solve all the Technical issues over phone, email and chat.

They ran a beta run for 3 months and got tremendous support and applause for this type of service, thought it is not something unique, they say they were not aware of their competitors when they first discussed about this idea. Also they claim that there is different and unique. It is Pay-per-click model where customers pay only if the issues are solved.

When I questioned them what happens if the client runs away after solving the issue, they claim always clients are very supportive and they in fact reward them by paying a premium than their fee to motivate this service…

Only flaw side of this service is it is only available for US if you want a support over phone & not for other part of their, on contacting their CTO Mr.Bala, he claims people still call to their US no. though it expensive & they are also planning to launch there service to different English speaking nations.

I personally contacted them for frequent internet disconnection issue over char and to my surprise it was sorted in 20 min over chat. All I had to do was to trust them and install remote access software and give access to my system. Also I utilized there free trial run during there beta run.

As a gratitude I think I must write a word of appreciation and pass a message about their service with all my readers and this is definitely a mutually beneficial post…

I’d like to dedicate this blog to my first cousin Madhumitha, she is doing her graduation but she has lot is oratorical and narration skills. She has helped me to do my MBA assignments even when she was in her school. I don’t mean to say her whiz kid, but she has an odd one out in our family, I often wondered if she originally hails our genes ;).

She is an avid reader of books and we have often shared our thoughts on the books we read. In my busy schedule I asked her to read books and share the crux with me, which she promptly does.

Having seen her narration in writing I’ve asked her to take up writing as a career and also made arrangements for her to pursue that. But she has not taken those thoughts seriously. I’m happy that she at least took my words and started blogging and let this be a good start for her and I wish her to be a successful writer.

I’m one of her early fan for her writing and I’d like to share one of the blog she has written and would like you to look into the narration and pass on your comments.

Just look into this blog http://madhumithauday.blogspot.com/2008/10/food-not-just-concept.html

If there are any passers to this blog, just let me know how to groom a “raw talented writer” into a professional writer.

Most commonly used term in the financial circle. “Rule of 72” will help determine when an investment will get doubled. It is based on a simple formulae 72/interest = no. of years to double an investment.

Let us assume you have invested Rs.10000 in a mutual fund which fetches 20% returns. With the 20% return we can determine how long it will take to double the investment of Rs.10000. Now let us work out the formulae

72/20 = 3.6 years.

So we need 3.6 years for Rs.10000 to get doubled.

From World over, he received letters from his fans, one of which Conveyed:

“Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease”?

To this Arthur Ashe replied: The world over — 50 million children start playing sports, 5 million learn to play tennis, 500,000 learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5,000 reach the grand slam, 50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to semi final, 2 to the finals. And when I was holding a cup I never asked GOD “Why me?” And today in pain I should not be asking GOD “Why me?”
