Change!

Many of you already know about this... but now directly from the donkey's mouth...

Feb 28th will be my last in Persistent as an employee. I will continue to work with the same teams @ Persistent as an independent consultant. I will be very much in Pune and continue to sit at the same place. So nothing much changes for the most part for most people, especially for Rakesh's teams. Just that i wont get to the do the bossgiri which i am so used to.

I had one heck of a stay in Persistent. Persistent gave me a chance do to whatever i wanted to do and most importantly do it my way. I worked with some great people and great clients, and i owe a lot to Persistent!

Ten years is a long time, and this has been a hard decision to make. Though I should say i have never bothered to "think through" my decisions. You always get to know whether a decision is right or wrong only in retrospect. So what the heck!

Jai Ho!

Slumdog - whats so great?

I dont get whats so great about this movie! No wonder, Slumdog didnt do well in India.  

So, either we in Indian dint like the so called "truth", or its a hit in the west because they liked its poverty porn. I just didnt feel "entertained" enough. Rest I dont care. Though Rahman's mucis, as always, is great.

There also seems to be a trend now with movies getting great reviews but movies turning out to be not so great. E.g. devd, gajani. I wont be surprised if the number of stars a movie gets is directly propotional to how much ads the paper gets from that movie! :)

Post Oscar: Should admit that it felt very good to see SM winnig those awards...
