You had among the steepest learning curves of anyone whom I have had the pleasure of working with. You (with some help) set out some goals for the year that were a stretch to say the least. You more than met them. You have an ability to analyze oil markets that is superior to people with many years of experience. You have really taken to the subject matters with which we deal and they have clearly seized your imagination. </span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">You have an incredibly promising career before you and whether you return to Company or go elsewhere you will be able to count on my support and highest possible recommendation.</span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">You are seeking feedback on areas where you could work harder. There is only one that comes to my mind -- oral presentations. You need coaching in this area to help you overcome your natural modesty and shyness. That requires both training and experience and I hope you get the former at graduate school. If we were in closer proximity we could help you with this as well.</span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">E</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">Hi,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">Sometime back you had asked me for my view on the whole setup of our group and what things are working and things which required improvement. So, here are my two cents on this.</span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">First and foremost, you are the best boss that anybody can ask for. I sometimes feel it is kind of unfortunate that you were my first boss, as I would naturally be comparing all my futures bosses with you and I seriously doubt if any of those guys would be anywhere close to you. You are the best when it comes to managing people and your commitment towards the group (supported by your actions and efforts) is unquestionable. While deciding between IIMA and my job one of the important things in my pro-Company list was that my manager was a person like you. Be it terms of publishing of names, or lead coverage from within our group, or mobility, your efforts were greatly appreciated by the group and everyone benefitted from them.</span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">You handpicked gems from various places to make a necklace which we called Equity Research - India. The team was perfect and being managed by someone of your caliber made it amongst the best teams one can find. There was little or negligible office politics and other vices which, I suppose, are common elsewhere.</span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">One of the good aspects of the team was that the individuals were working in different sectors. Personally, I felt that this diversity was very helpful in getting knowledge about different sectors. At the same time, it would be helpful if people belonging to the same/similar sector (as oneself) are within the group so that things relevant to one's sector could be discussed.</span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">There was no dearth of learned people in the group. I got to learn a lot from Shuklaji and other team members and in general, everyone was approachable and ready to help. I felt that a lot of the group members were fully committed to their work and enjoyed working even if there was no sword hanging.</span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">Now for some things which could be looked into. As you know, I do not have much work experience and so a few points may not seem as relevant to you. However, I felt I should write everything I feel and leave things for you to discard.</span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">In general, there is a lot of transparency in terms of the policies, decisions etc. However, there is always scope for improvement when we talk of transparency. For e.g., it is inevitable that people would leave the group and new people would join. If someone is about to leave, I feel that, if possible, the team should know details about the same. I understand that this is not so simple and not always possible but whenever feasible, the group should be made aware (just as it happened in my case, though my case was slightly different as I am going for further studies).</span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">Though within our group, things are great, the story is little different when we want to talk about other groups (with whom we have to interact). I am talking about Finance, HR, IT etc. For e.g., a person travelling is not as much concerned about his travel, accommodation as he/she is concerned about completing the T&E for the travel and submitting the documents within deadlines (a little exaggerated), which do not care if the person is still travelling and would not be able to submit the documents. A lot of effort has to be put into things which have a lot of room for simplification. I am not sure what/if we can do anything about this, but the main point is that people should be approachable, understanding and should reciprocate on issues raised, rather than ignoring things or passing the buck. I am not saying that the entire system is pathetic but there are bottlenecks (sometimes in the form of individuals) which can be removed/tackled.</span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">Within our group, for administrative issues, things can be more streamlined if set procedures are in place. However, I believe this would happen with time and there is some lack of manpower to get this done immediately.</span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">Finally, in terms of the weekly meetings, while the idea is good for improving presentation skills etc., people look less interested. I suppose, something like a NY morning meeting the Commodities team used to have can be better, wherein everybody speaks for a minute or so and gives the main things which happened in their field/sector and what are they working on.</span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">I apologize for the long email, but thought I should present my point of view. I hope you will look at this mail as a constructive feedback and forgive me if you feel that I have crossed the line somewhere.</span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">Also, it would be great if you can provide me some feedback about things which went right/wrong, things which I could have done better and aspects which I should concentrate on.</span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">Thanks much for everything,</span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">Ashutosh</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">Ashu, thank you - it was one of the best compliments I have ever received in my job and if I'm able to make even half as much impact on people around me as you say, then I would have consider myself effective.</span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">On you, all the feedback has been hugely positive- whether today from T via E or earlier, you have impressed all of us with your sincerity and hardwork. You were and I'm proud to say so, my handpicked hire from delhi and I am delighted by your success. Frankly, if you had not been selected for iim abd, I would have been disappointed as I had been expecting it. </span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">I'm sure you will come out with flying colours, do keep us posted and we would be delighted if you come back to Lehman after two years- preferably in our global offices.</span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">Best</span></div>

The knee-jerk reaction of too many people in leadership positions when they feel wronged is righteous indignation and the urge for revenge. But one factor that sets truly transformational leaders apart from the run-of-the-mill is the ability to forgive - to let feelings of anger, resentment and blame fall away and become something constructive.</div>
<div style="line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;">
Great leaders know the art of reconciliation.</div>
<div style="line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;">
“Truly transformational leaders are acutely aware of the cost of animosity,” notes Manfred Kets de Vries, INSEAD Distinguished Professor in Leadership Development and Organisational Change. “They realise the havoc that can be created by an unforgiving attitude… holding grudges is a form of arrested development; it holds people back.”</div>
<div style="line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;">
“Many organisations today are like gulags. People are anxious, there’s a lot of paranoia. [But] what should be remembered is that people who don’t make any mistakes don’t do anything. They’re too busy covering their backs. They’re not going to try anything new.”</div>
<div style="line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;">
In organisations where you know that if you make a mistake you’re going to be fired, there is a culture of fear which stifles productivity, he notes.</div>
<div style="line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;">
“Leaders who can tolerate mistakes, who see them as learning opportunities, are those who create a great corporate culture.”</div>
<div style="line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;">
“Forgiveness offers people the chance to take risks, to be creative, to learn and to grow their own leadership capabilities,” Kets de Vries continues. “Holding onto resentment, bitterness and spite is not what transformational leadership is all about.”</div>
<div style="line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;">
Forgiveness, he claims, builds loyalty and good citizenship. People working in organisations that have been instilled with a forgiveness culture are more likely to make an extra effort, which has important consequences for the bottom line. It also helps transgressors to have a more positive outlook on the future.</div>
<div style="line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;">
<strong>Greatest example of forgiveness</strong></div>
<div style="line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;">
Leaders today operate in settings in which strife is rife and, if left unresolved, could have severe implications for their organisation. But by walking the talk and encouraging a culture of forgiveness, leaders promote an organisation which looks to the future.</div>
<div style="line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;">
In his paper “<a href="http://www.insead.edu/facultyresearch/research/doc.cfm?did=52275" style="color: #22afda; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">The Art of Forgiveness: Differentiating Transformational Leaders</a>”, Kets de Vries highlights one of the most obvious examples of transformational forgiveness with his comparison of two very different African political leaders.</div>
<div style="line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;">
“When you fly over Zimbabwe you see a wasteland, when you fly over South Africa you see something very different: two leaders with very different attitudes towards forgiveness.</div>
<div style="line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;">
“If I ask my class which living political leader do you most admire, 95 percent say Nelson Mandela. When you ask why, the answer is forgiveness.”</div>
<div style="line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;">
At the end of South African apartheid and after 27 years in prison, Nelson forgave his oppressors and encouraged many of his party’s members who clamoured for revenge to do likewise, telling them, “Forgiveness liberates the soul, it removes fear. That’s why it’s such a powerful weapon.”</div>
<div style="line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;">
In comparison, Robert Mugabe opted for bitterness, vindictiveness and hatred, against white Zimbabweans and the nation’s black citizens who opposed him. By encouraging supporters to forcibly occupy white-owned commercial farms Zimbabwe, once the bread basket of southern Africa, became the poor house. Under his rule, unemployment rose to between 70-80 percent, life expectancy fell. In mid-November 2008, Zimbabwe's peak month of inflation is estimated at 6.5 sextillion percent—making the national currency basically useless. A “clean-up campaign” targeting the slums where his most hardened opponents resided left 200,000 homeless.</div>
<div style="line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;">
<strong>Letting go of the grudge</strong></div>
<div style="line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;">
It may seem impossible forgiving someone you believe has slighted or taken deliberate action against you. But the price for bearing a grudge can be high.</div>
<div style="line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;">
“While it may appear easier to hate than to forgive, revenge is so consuming that pretty soon hatred takes over from all other emotions, creating a life governed by endless cycles of resentment and retaliation.”</div>
<div style="line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;">
Numerous studies have shown that bitterness and hatred create stress disorders, negatively affect the immune system and are positively correlated with depression, anxiety, neuroticism and premature death.</div>
<div style="line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;">
“In comparison,” says Kets de Vries, “taking the high road of forgiveness contributes to greater spiritual and psychological well-being, lower anxiety levels, less stress, lower blood pressure and lower risk of alcohol and substance abuse. People who forgive more readily also tend to have fewer coronary health problems.”</div>
<div style="line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;">
<strong>Learning to forgive</strong></div>
<div style="line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;">
Lives are not calm flowing rivers. Relating to others whether friends, strangers or family members is always accompanied by the risk of being hurt. And with business today relying heavily on networking and interpersonal relationships, the risk of being offended is high.</div>
<div style="line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;">
We cannot change what has happened; there is no “delete button” for the past. So the crucial questions are how we choose to deal with transgressions and how we metabolise the feelings, warns Kets de Vries.</div>
<div style="line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;">
Leaders can work on certain traits to enhance their ability to forgive but there is always a delicate equilibrium between nature and nurture.</div>
<div style="line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;">
“One element that can help is having empathy, the ability to put ourselves in others’ shoes. Why are certain things happening? Why did that person do that? Can you really imagine why, or is your mind so stuck there is no way you can?”</div>
<div style="line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;">
The other element is <em>the degree of emotional control</em>.</div>
<div style="line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;">
“When you get angry you can feel the anger rising in your body,” he notes.</div>
<div style="line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;">
“It’s important to recognise the feeling, to remember what happened last time it occurred, perhaps you blew up, refused to forgive and the situation got worse.”</div>
<div style="line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;">
“If you see something has happened, calm down and think about it. But don’t over-obsess. If you have harsh standards about what is right and wrong you can have a tendency to go over and over an error in judgment or perceived slight. You really add to the problem by too much rumination.</div>
<div style="line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;">
“The ability to forgive needs a certain amount of maturity,” he adds. “Think of Nelson Mandela in his prison cell for 27 years. He probably had a temper too but he learnt the need to modify it.”</div>
<div style="line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;">
<strong>Keeping it real</strong></div>
<div style="line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;">
While true forgiveness is hard, pretending to forgive is easy. Saying “sorry” is merely a temporary measure that never really erases the permanent scar underneath.</div>
<div style="line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;">
Forgetting through repression of the problem is not the answer either. If the road to forgiveness appears to be halted or if the transgression has had such a devastating effect that it is impossible to move on, the time has come to seek professional help, says Kets de Vries.</div>
<div style="line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;">
“People struggling with forgiveness need to accept that life is a series of learning experiences and that all life’s encounters can make us wiser.”</div>
<div style="line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;">
<strong>Forgive but don’t forget</strong></div>
<div style="line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;">
But forgiveness is not forgetting. Realistic forgiveness is about healing the memory of the harm not erasing it, he notes. “It is very different from condoning a transgression or excusing whatever unacceptable behaviour has occurred.</div>
<div style="line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;">
“Forgiving means not being a prisoner of the past. Truly transformational leaders like Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi and Aung San Suu Kyi seem to have figured this out. When we forgive we don’t change the past but we can change the future.”</div>
<div style="line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;">

These are some photos I clicked in London. This was near a famous tourist place and the persons who drew these had a good idea on how to get people give some money to them. Instead of just asking for money, I found people doing a lot of innovative stuff.<br />
<br />
These guys drew flags of various countries and hoped that various tourists belonging to different countries will put money on their respective flags.<br />
<br />
The first thing that tourists did when they came close to these flags was they started looking for the flag of their contry. If their flag is not present, they ask the concerned people to draw the flag, e.g. I saw some Taiwanese people asking for the same. The tourists then placed some money on their contry's flags and click pictures while doing that. There seem to be some competition brewing as people saw coins / money on their country's flag vs. all others.<br />
<br />
The people who drew the flags had found a good way of making the tourists part from the chnage they had. China / Chinese were leading the way here as well. It was the only country whose flag had some currency notes, in addition to the coins.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
I saw a Tibetan asking the concerned guys to draw a separate Tibetan flag, and making it a point to place a currency note on the same.<br />
<br />
It was amazing how a simple setup like this helps identify people and their countries in the otherwise homogeneous setup. I was outside a famous tourist spot, but I finally ended up spending more time outside the tourist spot than inside the it.</div>

<br />
I believed London Underground train services were very sophisticated with the different lines and the interconnections and the fact that the city apparently runs on it.<br />
<br />
So, I reached London early morning this Sunday for a business trip for 4 days. I thought let's use the train services to reach the hotel. I had traveled before and found it satisfactory. I went to the Heathrow Underground station and was expecting atleast one ticket counter to be operational (they have 3 counters there). To my disappointment none of the counters had a railway official to issue tickets. <br />
<br />
I checked with sole official roaming around only to find that I will need to use one of those machines installed to get an Oyster card (the card you can use for train services). My mind said that I do have cash and a credit card, so the machines should serve the purpose. Sadly, the machines (3 of them) did not accept notes, but only coins. I didn't have enough to give the £5 deposit for the Oyster card, let alone topping it up for my trip to the hotel.<br />
<br />
Cash was out of the picture now, and my mind said, use the card. The card charges might be higher (given the exchange rates offered by card companies), but I had no choice. Somehow, my card was not accepted, which was strange, given I have used it many times before in a few countries, including UK.<br />
<br />
I had no choice but to head to the taxi terminal. Last thing I thought I should do before going on my way out of the train station was to check the timing mentioned on the ticket counter window. I just wanted to check if assistance was nearby. Timing was immaculately mentioned - (i) Mon - Fri: blah blah (ii) Sat: blah blah and (iii) Sun: 7:15 am to blah. I thought the counter should open anytime now and with that thought I checked by mobile to see the time. It was 7:46am. Again, unclear about how such things are happening in a city like London and within that the Underground services was not clear. Again, I approached the sole rail official to check when can I expect the counter to open. He said in 30 minutes or so. I told him that the board says 7:15am on Sundays. He looked at me as if I said something I should not have. The economic situation of UK was out there in the open. The official said, though the board says the time I mentioned, they don't have enough staff and so nothing can be done.<br />
<br />
Just then I was again reminded, about how machines have been made to replace people more and more. And even then governments in the developed world are still not managing to fill positions with people, due to lack of resources. <br />
<br />
As I was thinking this, another machine (the 4th one at the station) that seemed to be closed till then, suddenly sprang to life. It was a different looking one as compared to the first three. On top of the machine there was a LED display (this it had common with the other machines). It was reading something that I was looking forward to ... 'Notes Accepted'. I was happy that atleast now I will be able to use the train and not have to go all the way to the taxi terminal. There was a small queue already formed in front of the new machine and I decided to join it.<br />
<br />
I was looking forward to getting my Oyster card and head to the hotel. I saw the rail official helping some of the passengers at the machines. Slowly as the queue moved and I reached the station, I asked the official if I can get a new Oyster card. And he said NO.<br />
<br />
Back to where I started, I thought I had spent my share of time at the station. But just as I was about to move, I saw 1-2 people gathering at one of the ticket counters. I knew what that meant. Quickly rushed to the queue and got myself my well deserved Oyster card and to the train to the hotel.</div>Ashutoshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10930471785736462861noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21377223.post-76323043396661086982012-01-16T23:20:00.000+05:302012-01-16T23:20:04.808+05:30NaiveI thought it was going on fine<br />
With a lot of help from Lord Divine<br />
<br />
Wondered why people said it will be hard<br />
Very difficult one would regard<br />
<br />
I agree that it required some change<br />
Extent of which was difficult to gauge<br />
<br />
I tried to do my best<br />
And left to God the rest<br />
<br />
Thought I made good progress<br />
But many things I didn't guess<br />
<br />
I was a fool to believe<br />
Just plain simple naïve<br />

But this has been more related to the online world rather than books / novels etc. May be it comes with the time spent with computers these days.<br />
<br />
A challenging part of reading online stuff is to be able to find the right articles to read, ironically because the web has grown so large. It is easy to find a lot of articles (you can regularly visit various websites, read latest news etc.), but one will ideally like all articles to be relevant and interesting. At the same time, you will not like to miss on stuff that is 'good to know', but might not be as interesting.<br />
<br />
I find 2 tools very useful for these purposes. One is a RSS reader that you are comfortable with. You can then subscribe to all kinds of websites that serve you the kind of articles that you want. Just subscribe to a website, and see if you have been actually opening up articles from the site once they come as a RSS feed. That will give a good sense of the usefulness of the website over a period of time. You can follow blogs and a range of stuff. You can also track news items, videos etc. about certain topics you want. For that, you can search for the topic on search engines or video sites, and add the RSS feed for that search in your reader.<br />
<br />
You can find the complete list of the feeds I follow on the left hand side of this blog.<br />
<br />
A very useful way of finding great articles is to subscribe to sites/ blogs of people who share links to things they have been reading. Some of the articles that I most liked have come from this kind of source.<br />
<br />
For the sites which do not have RSS feeds, there are other websites that offer to setup feeds, so that it is easy to track them. However, somehow, I have not managed to use them well. In this case, I use our very own browser bookmarks (the 2nd tool), but then have the additional task of regularly going to my bookmarks to see if there are any updates. Hopefully, such bookmarks are not required to a large extent and are manageable.<br />
<br />
If I find a great great article/ quote, I share it in 3 ways - 1. share it with your friends who follow you on the Reader which you use for the RSS feeds, 2. Facebook and 3. Twitter. Sometimes, I go back to these shared items and more often that not, feel what a gem it is, even now.</div>Ashutoshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10930471785736462861noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21377223.post-80684480175077927532011-01-22T18:08:00.000+05:302011-01-22T18:08:33.945+05:30Interesting business opportunity<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A1uKAmts5Lw/TTrIict6SDI/AAAAAAAAApk/s1NoRl13xrA/s1600/Buy+an+ATM+-+business+idea.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="142" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A1uKAmts5Lw/TTrIict6SDI/AAAAAAAAApk/s1NoRl13xrA/s400/Buy+an+ATM+-+business+idea.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />

I believe many of the points can be adapted by junior folks for their specific fields</i><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A1uKAmts5Lw/TTrEAdH09qI/AAAAAAAAApg/Tt1opXdep98/s1600/Asok.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A1uKAmts5Lw/TTrEAdH09qI/AAAAAAAAApg/Tt1opXdep98/s1600/Asok.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<br />
The most important challenge is to be on top of the mind of your lead analyst. He should think of you as the first person to delegate a task. As long as he keeps on giving you more work, you would enjoy the job and move ahead. If your analyst is senior and has many associates in US/UK, this will be tough to ensure.<br />
<br />
- One nice way of keeping in touch is to send a daily news update. If the analyst concerned says "don't send", tell him that this is a nice way for you (not the analyst) to keep in touch with the sector, so keep sending anyways even when asked to not send<br />
<br />
- Many teams also publish regular monthly reports. No body wants to work on them (because over time they become repetitive/boring). Try to take charge of that. The US team will be too glad to let you do it and you will immediately get involved in the entire work of the team (Monthly will require you to work on all the important models and key research themes)<br />
<br />
- Some times lead analysts (the senior kind) may be too busy marketing and would not stay in touch with you even when you are sending the daily/monthly. There are two tricks to make them notice you. <br />
<br />
(A) Search some news items that support the investment thesis of the analyst (there are always some) and try to write a small paragraph which essentially says "this is what we have been saying all along….". The boss will be too glad to use it in his marketing and will also respond with comments like "well said"/exactly....<br />
<br />
(B) If approach A does not work: Search some news items that contradict the investment thesis of the analyst (there are always some) and come up with a well reasoned argument, which is against the team's investment thesis, is not offensive and is not directed at the analyst but is casually part of the news. If the argument is valid, you are almost sure to get a response to it. <br />
<br />
- Keep on asking for work till your hands are full or the boss says some thing like "climb a tree, get down, climb again and get down,… keep doing till further instructions". The most stupid way to screw up in this job is to allow your boss to not give you work<br />
<br />
- If you are given too many dead end and boring tasks, finish them anyways but try to start some other good quality assignments on your own. Do not wait for your boss to give you higher value added work, take your own initiative<br />
<br />
- You will gain access to you team's drive. Sniff around. You will often get lots of useful information<br />
<br />
- Read the old research of your team<br />

<br />
Given the importance that the institute was paying to this particular disease - mind you, of all the prevalent diseases - I thought this is important. So, I approached a doctor for the vaccination required. He told me that it is a two stage process - one injection now, and another 6 months later. I thought that I will start the process here and the institute will definitely ensure that I get the second dose 6 months hence, when I will be in a place that care about this particular disease so much.<br />
<br />
To my dismay, it was costly affair. The injection was for around Rs. 2,000/- at that time. However, I went ahead and got the injection as well as the form filled from the doctor. I submitted it along with other documents to the institute.<br />
<br />
The expectation was that there will be many like me who will have had only the first injection by doctors at their place. The second part will have to happen at the institute for all of them. So, there will be a camp one day to ensure that we fight this dangerous disease and it does not proliferate.<br />
<br />
There was not even a single word on this for the 2 years I spent at my B-School. The institute might have just been following government orders around this, and did not seriously care about Hepatitis B as a disease. On some research, I found that this disease suddenly gained prominence in the country and did not seem to be much of a threat for Indians - neither were there cases. But this fear of the disease was suddenly all prevalent. I am sure more of my batchmates would have been affected by diseases like malaria etc.<br />
<br />
Some diseases seem to get prominence quickly, even though they might not be too much relevant. Not sure why this happens. Is there <a href="http://www.tehelka.com/story_main45.asp?filename=Ne190610coverstory.asp">some conspiracy</a><span id="goog_2103874788"></span><span id="goog_2103874789"></span> behind this? I believe we need to <a href="http://www.rajivdixit.com/?p=103">think about these issues more</a>. Have we started taking all these things for granted?Ashutoshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10930471785736462861noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21377223.post-2360030131530740882010-12-05T00:41:00.000+05:302010-12-05T00:41:46.018+05:30Shri Rajiv Bhai - An InspirationYou know how there are a few people that make a strong dent in your life - if not in your actions, but atleast in your thoughts. While some of them are the usual suspects - parents, teachers etc. - some others are a little hard to imagine.<br />
<br />
One such person for me has been <a href="http://www.rajivdixit.com/">Swargiya Shri Rajiv Dixitji</a>. I became aware about him and his thoughts, may be around 10 years back. His ideas were something which none of the kids of my age/generation would have come across. It was not something that you can get from your teachers, parents etc - in fact many of them might want to keep you as far from them as possible.<br />
<br />
I met him once when he was in Mumbai. I had heard his speeches through cassettes, but wanted to hear him in person. So, me and my brother went to this place in Mumbai where he was supposed to be part of a cultural function. Though he did not get much time to speak on that occasion, as always he influenced the audience, even within the short span of time.<br />
<br />
Whoever knew Rajiv bhai said one thing for sure - His life followed exactly what his preachings were. He was one of the greatest patriots that I have known of in the last few decades.<br />
<br />
What made Rajiv bhai's lectures appeal to everyone was the extensive background research that he used to do and at the same time, the simplicity in the way he used to explain these things to the audience. His knowledge was unmatched and he was inquisitive enough to get to the reason for why things happened, before he can form an opinion.<br />
<br />
I do not follow most of his teachings, but hope to bring atleast some of the things in my life and thoughts.<br />
<br />
<br />
I will encourage you to listed to the thoughts of Rajiv Bhai by <a href="http://www.rajivdixit.com/?cat=3">downloading his speeches</a>. If you have time to listen to just one of them, then <a href="http://www.rajivdixit.com/?p=77">this is something which is highly recommended</a>.<br />
<br />
He always preached (and followed) to use one's native language as much as possible. I try to do that on a daily basis for verbal communication, but I have been too lazy to make it an important part of my written communication. I should have ideally written atleast this post in Hindi, my mother tongue. Rajiv bhai, mujhe shama kar dena.Ashutoshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10930471785736462861noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21377223.post-35577455591118453822010-11-20T19:59:00.001+05:302010-11-21T14:10:57.147+05:30Of Healthcare, And InsuranceThe last month has been somewhat of a challenge for our family. There were some medical emergencies that had to be tackled. It not only involved dealing with doctors, hospitals, but following that it meant dealing with the insurance agents, TPAs etc.<br />
<br />
Here are some observations about the experience:<br />
1. There is a general sense of arrogance that one can perceive in the medical community. Be it the person who does the admission in the hospital to the highest personnel. I somehow was reminded of '<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munna_Bhai_M.B.B.S">MunnaBhai M.B.B.S</a>' many times during these interactions.<br />
<br />
2. Either the medical practitioners really do not have enough time to give to their patients, or they create this perception. You do not get enough time to talk satisfactorily with a doctor. They just come and swoop by as soon as they can. May be it is required to not disclose everything to the relatives of patients. But I am not sure at the point where the line has been drawn currently. And maybe, if we consider the number of patients (and their relatives) vying for their attention, it is probably not their fault.<br />
<br />
3. It has become so difficult to diagnose diseases these days. I am certain that it is of primary importance. But though, the number of tests that get conducted before and after patients are treated, have increased substantially over recent times, diagnosis continues to remain a challenge.<br />
<br />
4. Speaking with doctors / nurses is an art. One is dependent on them to take care of the patient, and so has to be very careful about how to deal with them<br />
<br />
5. One word of caution while buying mediclaim / health insurance - Be proactive, and ask your agent details about the policy. Some of the things that are conveniently left to be fetched by the policy holder are:<br />
- The agent should be strong enough to explain the policy intricacies, guide you through the entire claims process, and have a "will-do" attitude. He/She should ideally lead the claims process, for it is his/her duty - otherwise, what is their use as an agent. Else for what reason is this person earning from your premiums that get paid to the insurers<br />
- It is extremely important to intimate the TPA or the insurance company of any medical emergency / hospitalization that will lead to a potential claim ASAP. That ways there is no chance for them to use that as an excuse to reject your claim<br />
- When taking a policy, one needs to check what the cooling-off period is. Cooling-off period is the duration from the start of the policy, during which time, pre-existing diseases are not covered in the policy. Now, the definition of the pre-existing diseases is very wide. It is not limited to diseases that you have been diagnosed or treated for before taking the policy. It includes even those that you have but might not be aware of. The insurance companies and TPAs have a long list of such diseases. If you suffer from any of these, during the cooling-off period, there is no convincing that will work, to claim that this was not something that you already had while taking the policy<br />
- Ensure that all originals (prescriptions, bills, test reports etc.) are with you. These will have to be submitted in original to the insurers.<br />
- Ensure that everything in the medical process gets recorded. For e.g. due to emergency conditions, if you have to be shifted to a bigger hospital, ensure that proper reasons are written in the discharge card of the first hospital<br />
<br />
The entire thing reminded me of Michael Moore's <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0386032/">Sicko</a>.Ashutoshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10930471785736462861noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21377223.post-21156322570155901142010-09-06T23:24:00.000+05:302010-09-06T23:24:05.732+05:30I Like it<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A1uKAmts5Lw/TIUpybakvPI/AAAAAAAAAoY/SFC_E9ALKDo/s1600/virtual-rakhi.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A1uKAmts5Lw/TIUpybakvPI/AAAAAAAAAoY/SFC_E9ALKDo/s320/virtual-rakhi.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>A Facebook application involving a Virtual Rakhi</i></span> </div> <br />
I was in Delhi (on account of work) on the day of Rakhi. The good part was that most of my relatives are in and around Delhi and so there was a gathering planned. I do not have a real sister and my cousin sisters send me Rakhis every year. This year I got a chance to have them tie Rakhis, in person. Many of my relatives gathered at one location, though only for a few hours.<br />
<br />
One of the things that was surprising for me was the amount of discussion that happened on the topic of Facebook. And the biggest participants of this discussion were not people of my age group or younger to me. But my uncles and aunts. Some were inquisitive about the whole concept / site, others wanted to know what was the utility.<br />
<br />
People discussed each others' status updates and inquired about who all among other relatives / former-batchmates were registered on the site.They exchanged stories about how their children and acquaintances used it to stay in touch and gather information about some person.<br />
<br />
No wonder Facebook has reached 500 million registrations. There is also a movie coming about the website, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Social_Network">The Social Network</a>. I like it's (intentional use!) tagline<br />
<i>"You don't get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies"</i><br />
<br />
I have seen usage of Facebook in determination of people's fates lately. There is <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDHb4wewAIQ">another interesting view about Facebook</a> (via <a href="http://anshumans.blogspot.com/">anshumans</a>).

<br />
Thanks for taking up drinking, social as it may be. I know how hard it is to keep away from it for long. And with all the pressures from friends / colleagues and the tension in office, this was bound to happen.<br />
<br />
I am sure you would have resisted it to the best of your capabilities. But now that you have started, why keep it to the realm of office gatherings / occasional meets with friends? You should plan in a way that every other night, you get an opportunity to have atleast some of it. I am sure you have enough acquaintances that will give you company, and would encourage this behaviour.<br />
<br />
I was extremely happy to have heard of this new habit of yours from someone. I see that you have changed, and we all know that change is good. As they say, this is something not to be missed in life.<br />
<br />
In case you care, I can't say if our friendship has strengthened now, but I will hope and try that the status quo remains.<br />
<br />

So, instead of writing about the same, I am just posting the link to his post.<br />

Previously, I used to save those in a text file on my computer, and when there were sufficient of them, I would <a href="http://myselfspeaking.blogspot.com/2008/08/some-things-which-i-liked.html">post them</a> on this blog. Sometimes, if by coincidence, I am writing a post on some topic, and am able to fit in the quote in the post, I would do that. Sometimes, I used to write <a href="http://myselfspeaking.blogspot.com/2008/10/good-good.html">entire posts around few phrases</a>.<br />
<br />
But now, with twitter, all it requires is one tweet. No more accumulating statements for future and no more pains of halfheartedly threading a story around phrases. (My tweets can be seen in the left sidebar of this page as well)<br />
<br />
There is this <a href="http://kindle.amazon.com/popular_highlights">interesting link</a> about the statements that have been most highlighted by Kindle users. One of them is from The Last Lecture, by Randy Pausch. It goes like this<br />
<br />
<i>"When you’re screwing up and nobody says anything to you anymore, that means they’ve given up on you"</i><br />
<br />
I have been one person, who keeps telling friends (just the close ones), <a href="http://myselfspeaking.blogspot.com/2008/11/can-you-please-stop-doing-that.html">what they should / shouldn't do</a>. So, this resonated very well with me. And hence the post. Well, another one of those posts around one statement. May be the last one (?).<br />
<br />
PS: Though I am still <a href="http://myselfspeaking.blogspot.com/2010/04/3g-auctions-who-is-bidding-for-what.html">following the 3G auctions</a> (though not as closely), I am very surprised at the kind of valuations the spectrum is seeking for itself. It has also led me, being somewhat less sure about <a href="http://myselfspeaking.blogspot.com/2010/04/3g-auctions-rationalization-as-expected.html">my circle-wise analysis</a>, and so have kept that on the back burner.Ashutoshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10930471785736462861noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21377223.post-23827769377378547322010-04-21T00:59:00.001+05:302010-04-21T01:01:11.164+05:303G Auctions - Rationalization as expectedAs I had speculated in my<a href="http://myselfspeaking.blogspot.com/2010/04/3g-auctions-who-is-bidding-for-what.html"> previous post</a>, the auctions are past their inflection point. We have seen more sane bidding on an overall basis, and mostly the serious players for each circle are in the fray.<br />
<br />
My understanding of circle wise bidding, at end of day 9 is as below:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A1uKAmts5Lw/S84A9MGHWII/AAAAAAAAAnk/F0i0Fo8dpZs/s1600/3G+auctions.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="206" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A1uKAmts5Lw/S84A9MGHWII/AAAAAAAAAnk/F0i0Fo8dpZs/s320/3G+auctions.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

Bidders have moved their hands deeper into their pockets and are using most of the ammunition they brought from their base camp. As per the auction rules, as rounds progress, the minimum bid points to be placed by each bidder (from its share) goes up. So, the greater bids are partially because of that. Also, the serious bidders in each circle will want to get rid of the not-so-sure ones.<br />
<br />
I believe this day was the inflection point in the bidding process. From the next round of bidding (and going forward), one will see, players moving from circles they don't necessarily are adamant on, to other circles that are still relatively easily available.<br />
<br />
Here is my guess, of which players are bidding for each circle at end of day 7.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A1uKAmts5Lw/S8nccxdEybI/AAAAAAAAAnU/EwDu3cHbUJQ/s1600/3G+auctions.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="203" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A1uKAmts5Lw/S8nccxdEybI/AAAAAAAAAnU/EwDu3cHbUJQ/s320/3G+auctions.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

It is a <a href="http://www.livemint.com/2010/04/07164935/3G-spectrum-auctions-explained.html">long drawn process</a> and is expected to continue for 2-3 weeks. At end of each bidding day, the standing for the various circles <a href="http://www.dot.gov.in/index.html">are released</a> as of the end of the day (after accounting for all rounds that took place on the day).<br />
<br />
I went through the releases for the first few days and wanted to see if someone is speculating on who has bid for which circles. I failed to find any such analysis and so decided to do some of it on my own. I understand that this is mostly speculation, for even the bidders only have information of the consolidated bidding situation (and not that of other other individual bidders). Am posting my understanding of the <a href="http://www.dot.gov.in/as/Auction%20of%20Spectrum%20for3G%20&%20BWA/Auction%20results/3G_-_15_April_2010.pdf">bidding situation as of end of day 5</a>. I will be keep a watch on how this shapes out. Various players will have different strategies, but it will be good to see, how close / far the final outcome is to what I have on my sheet.<br />
<br />
Below is the circlewise, playerwise bidding situation as of end of day 5 (as per what I think).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A1uKAmts5Lw/S8dQc0UgQqI/AAAAAAAAAnM/PjDo1aYUg1Y/s1600/3G+auctions.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="252" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A1uKAmts5Lw/S8dQc0UgQqI/AAAAAAAAAnM/PjDo1aYUg1Y/s400/3G+auctions.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><i>Please click on the image to see it in larger size.</i><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i> </i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>1 - Player is bidding for the circle</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>0 - Player is not bidding for the circle</i></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Above analysis is based on my interpretation of the standing of each player in different circles. I have also tried to think and incorporate what strategy / thought process each of them will have in various circles. I will tweak and modify these as the auction progresses, and the updates get announced. Intermittently, I might post it here as well.Ashutoshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10930471785736462861noreply@blogger.com0
