Passion, Imagination, Verve.


Discovered through insights, and a very strong intuitive feeling, the PIVOTAL framework is essentially a combination of passion, imagination and verve that can be used almost in every aspect of human life.


The PIVOTAL framework -> Passion + Imagination + Verve in equal measure = TOTAL SUCCESS.


It is essentially these which drive perfection, discovery and inventions of the highest nature in humans as well all of those day to day 'WOW' moments or incidents. But it could be extended to anything and every activity that we take up. Putting the whole soul into the moment... It seems to have a spiritual angle to it too of having belief in that highest of universal consciousness - which is common in us all and can be reached and gets connected in such a fabric of commonality, as if into a single whole...

The aim is to tirelessly strive and serve and be best at what are your strengths or maybe a higher purpose!


Hypnosis (alluding to an incident during a presentation in class)

The sender and receiver,
Zapped in rapt attention - stunned.
Tied together with a thread,
Intangible, but steel-strong.

Sheer energy transmission
Of an order highest I have seen...
Professor's pedagogy as causality,
Fruits sweet of knowledge's glowing aura!

This was in Prof S Ramesh Kumar' s class on Consumer Behaviour; after any presentation usually where there are a volley of questions - there were none; a calm, peaceful silence followed.
I ended up getting epithets such as 'great presentation', 'truly great', 'mesmerizing', 'style bhai', 'rock star' from fellow classmates :) - although the contents of the presentation was a remarkable piece of team effort and team work!!
Ofcourse once in a while through inspiration too things reach a level of a great PERFORMANCE (sheer intimidation)!!
It is all a blessing of that infinite consciousness that we term God - a connection with that keeps everyone rejuvenated and full of energy.


By the way HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY --> AUGUST 02, 2009.

IIMB PGSEM SOP Essays.

The IIMB PGSEM application for 2008 had a SOP section which required 5 short essays to be written. Here are the ones I had written: Statement of Purpose How do you see the PGSEM helping you in your goals? (150 words) My taking up the PGSEM course has twin objectives, namely, self-development and learning all aspects of setting up, managing a commercial/social enterprise. Having worked in the software industry for five years, I have closely seen the software development life-cycle. However, there are several aspects of business and the economy that are of interest to me and I find the time ripe to explore these in a formal way, through academics; specifically strategic management of a firm, innovation strategies, and the scope of strategic consulting. Getting ready to usher in acceleration in growth opportunities in my care

DNA newspaper plagiarizes my photographs!

The newspaper DNA (Daily News and Analysis - http://www.dnaindia.com/bangalore ) seems to have involved in not verifying its sources of photographs and having used my photographs (does this amount to plagiarism? I think it does) after it carried some of my pictures in the 'After Hrs' section of its newspaper on 31st January 2009, which I had taken at the IIMB Yamini 2009. It is good that they covered the event but they should have cited/verified the sources of the photographs. In all probability they or their sources just picked up the photos from my blog, with the belief that no one would notice anyways - seems they could not escape as luck would have it, I spotted them in the DNA paper on Saturday. It was early in the morning when as I flipped open the last page of the supplement that I was stunned to see my pics, which I was able to recognize immediately - however there were no credits anywhere in sight! Please check the photos below from the e-paper version on their website
