Whats there to cheer about ?
by M on May 10, 2010 02:22 PM  | Hide replies

Half of india's children cant even complete their school education.
More than 35% children die out of malnutrition.
75% of worlds fake-drugs are produced here and as many deaths due to it.

How these suited-booted jokers are anyway useful for us?

Dear M,
Try to see the better part of India also. If half of India's children do not study, but half do study.
There is a world outside India too. When we want to achieve something, we must come out of our shells and prove to the world that we too can do it.
Dont just blame someone who has worked very hard and achieved something.
Please learn to praise other people's achievements.

Thanks,
Amit Trivedi.

Some Factas...

Hair Transplant has no side effects. It is done with highly refined technique standardized all over the world and carried out with international guidelines to give good results.
Hair Transplant is painless. It is done under local anesthesia. Most patients fall asleep during the procedure and have very little pain after the procedure. At one of the studies carried out in our clinic, patients put the pain score at 2 on a scale of 1 to 5.
Hair Transplant does not leave bald areas behind, because the donor area is closed with dissolving stitches. You have a 3mm x 12cm single scar or 1500 to 2500 3mm round multiple scars over the back of the head.
Hair Transplant does not leave scars in the transplanted area. In our clinic it is done with ‘Stick & Place’ technique using a hypodermic injection needle, no blades, no cuts.
Hair Transplant looks natural and remains undetected.
Hair Transplant patients do not need to be admitted to the hospital.
Small 2 – 3 mm scabs are seen on the transplanted area when you go home. A loose baseball cap can be worn to cover the head, but not fitting tightly over the head.
A 1 inch tape running around to the fore head is kept for 2 days to hold a gauze over the donor area. This is removed at home after 2 days.
Patient can have a head bath 2 days after the hair transplant using a special antiseptic shampoo without rubbing the area. Then use it every alternate day till 10 days.

hi pralayanath,

this discussion doesnt orient towards the hair transplantation process. kindly maintain the decorum of the platform. always coming up with hair tranplantation ideas is not at all good

A word of caution
by Ujwala Kulkarni on May 10, 2010 08:32 AM

Congrats to Nohria for making the grade. The competition must have been stiff. Since this is the first appointment following the great global slowdown, I hope he will make American business education more result oriented and rid it of several dogmas that have plagued it for centuries. One thing is however certain: The American brand of business and finance will be totally out of place in India And Indian B-schools should make no attempt to implant it here. Financial manipulations, stock market riches and creation of all kinds of bubbles may be alright in US but it is not going to solve the Indian economic woes. Especially since these very concepts seem to have failed in US. Although the are the ones who rabidly supported privatization, they didn't hesitate to bail out financial institutes. Govt. support to production units (to save jobs) and to agriculture is understandable but the US has unwittingly become a stakeholder in these financial institutions. This is what they would call NATIONALIZATION in a socialistic economy.

Finally, I am reminded of a joke that was making rounds during the subprime crisis. A man on the street mused, "Why do they pay such huge packages to CEOs to run the economy into ground? Pay me only a million and I will run it into the ground faster than any of them."

"But he is from XXXXXXX school. Where are you from?" Asked an incensed reporter.

Jokes apart. Sound economic principles work - institut

What They Don't Teach You At Harvard Business School

: Notes From A Street-Smart Executive (Paperback)...
~ Mark H. McCormack
"Business demands innovation. There is a constant need to feel around the fringes, to test the edges, but business schools, out of necessity, are condemned to teach the past.'
-- Mark H. McCormack,
Mark McCormack is Founder, Chairman and CEO of sports marketing company International Management Group (IMG). He was named 'the most powerful man in sports' by Sports Illustrated.
In this book McCormack does not so much criticize Harvard Business School as the title suggests, but complements the traditional business school-education with 'street smarts' - "the ability to make active, positive use of your instincts, insights, and perceptions." (Funnily enough, McCormack did not even attend the HBS, he has a law degree from Yale.) "My main purpose in writing this book is to fill in many of the gaps - the gaps between a business school education and the street knowledge that comes from day-to-day experience of running a business and managing people." He splits the 'street smarts' and this book up into three parts: People, sales and negotiation, and running a business. With each part consisting of 4-to-6 chapters.
The examples from his experiences in sports marketing are exceptional and extremely useful. And yes, it is a great complement to the traditional business school-education (although they are now covering some of the subjects Mc

What they teach
by Bhoomika Chowdary on May 08, 2010 05:12 PM

Larry Summers, the reknowned President of Harvard (in probably late seventies or early eighties) once averred that at Harvard they take extreme care to select the right candidates in terms of self-motivation and aptitude; and that what they turn out to be when they come out of its portals has not much to do with the imparted learning/training in classes. There are a few other requisites for achieving such a level of excellence - not to delve here and now.

In today's wired world it is no longer teaching in its traditional sense but "facilitation" or "mentoring" is the lynchpin.
The students are seen and treated more as associates with mutual gains (in terms of knowledge expansion) for the teacher(s) and the taught. The entire landscape of pedagogy is witnessing a dramatic transformation now in tune with the new age requirements and compulsions.

Indian Institute of science, Bangalore, in India comes closer to this educational paradigm (there are quite a good number of others too)and hence the pride and prestige associated with this remarkable citadel of knowledge.

Emphasis on "restoring the old world honour" without compromising the real new age perspectives (digital tech with smart partnering)is the essence communicated here.

Contribute to Society

Its so heartwarming to read about Indians contributing so much to their adopted country and helping their motherland in the process.
We the people who live outside the country do carry a moral and social responsibility to create a positive image of our country. That is definitely patriotism.

Grass always looks green on the other side..

Your thinking that other countries are beautiful is a myth. Locations may look good on a pastcard it is beautfiul but every nations has its set of challenges..

It is independent of location and entirely depends on what contributions one has done to the scoiety by staying in the country or out of it...

No. No one TEACHES greed to you. Its already in you and comes out to engulf you when the conditions are right.

No one taught Ramalingaraju greed. Its just the conditions. Its already in him.

Society at large is responsible for this malaise. Right from day one we push our kids to perform more and earn better. We celebrate 20 lacs annum salaries and announce in bold letters. Media, friends, parents, surroundings - every thing create conditions for greed.

How would you react as a 20 some thing youngster if an insurance agent comes to you and tells that , unless you earn x amount of money a month, you can not live and maintain your standard of living wen you are retired ? lol. Apart from greed, the single most important factor is fear.

The New and the established Business Schools in India must also open up and bring into Administration, such Management experts from abroad and also encourage Specialists from India to come and teach and guide the Institutions for improving the quality and privide the right environment for them to deliver.
