I do not why Parag has these weird requests for me. Other day I was chatting with friend over the subject; which is almost alien to me, FOOD. Her final comments were very insane; “It is disgraceful to talk about food with you.” The very next day, my friend cum roommate, Parag prepared Vegetable Biryani at our place. Parag always has very unique way of praising him self. I am sure even Sanjeev Kapoor would be leaving space for criticism. It is not possible with him.
In our case we have only one feedback, we like it. You don’t want to stay hungry next day. 
Coming back to the request and Veg. Biryani. He wanted me to write post on his Biryani and cooking skills. I am in dilemma, someone who is so disgraceful about food, has been asked to write post on food and preparation.
In last one and half month, he probably tried preparing Biryani twice, with recipe on the pack of Biryani Masala. I could not believe he followed each and every step on the carton meticulously. I am sure he never have had followed any instructions while doing MBA like this. He kept the preparation of vegetables ready, half cooked rice, and then finally he placed them in multiple layers in big pan to cook. One layer of vegetables, next rice, next vegetables, and rice again. I was never so meticulous about anything in my life. I am sure even the gynecs are not while they bring babies to life.
are we suppose to do this? January 12, 2007

I am working for outsourcing company. Recently our fantastic sales team had cracked deal with publishing company in Chicago, it is multi-year, multi-million dollar deal.
Publishing company had implemented an ERP with the help of few consultants and their own staff few years ago. The company continued growing all these years, they kept adding more and more resources to manage and maintain data as well as application.
Lately company is not doing well in stock market, and they are currently working aggressively on new strategy to bring the company back into the game. They adopted one of the most popular strategy; cutting down costs. The first department usually is technology, and within technology it is internal applications group. ERP falls in that area. No one wants to take chances with business application while company is already on pace maker.

Life is strange. It is making me right this story. I was working in office, and only thing, which I could think, was about writing this story. Though, I am not protagonist, but I am important as I am going to tell story from my viewpoint.
I have profile in Orkut, which list most details about me. Starting from phone number, email address, my profession, my employer, my address and current location. I never share this detail on net, due to fear of any fraud or abuse. But on Orkut, I do not why I shared all the details. On this place more then I am supposed.
A girl added me on Orkut. I will call her Rashmi, I don’t know why, but I think this is correct name for her. She told me that she needs my help for job. I keep getting requests like that every now and then. I have listed most of my professional achievements (if u consider them) on my Orkut profile. I think that is what prompts people that I can help. Once you help a guy, news spreads like fire in India when it comes to job. Though there was no flood of people. But yeah at times when college semester come to an end, you kind of get tons of request.
She was doing course with some ERP, and she found that I too have similar career. She was already management graduate from the same campus I passed graduate degree. Both of us belong to same niche Indian community. Unfortunately there are not too many people from this niche in to IT, that to in niche IT segment of ERPs. She scraped and asked me to share my IM Ids, which I did not gave as I do not use any of them lately. I replied back to the scrap with my GMail ID so that we can chat in case there is need. (more…)
