New Beauty in my Life

I have been longing for her for quite some time. And finally, after a long wait, she is mine. We got engaged on 23rd of Dec,2006 and finally got married on 25th Jan,2007.

Here's a pic of both of us together..............





But as she is more good looking than I am, it would be worthwhile to view her alone.

Few Lines for the Year gone by and New

2006

A year of Eternal Hope and Moments of Despair

A year of Elusive Luck and Unexpected Fortunes

A year of Grabbed Opportunities and Missed Chances

A year of Modest Victories and Infinite Defeats

A year of New Beginnings and Abrupt Endings

A year of Self Control and Indulgence

A year of Endeavor and Indolence

A year of Grand Celebrations and Quiet Affairs

A year of Love and the struggle to Understand it

A year of Ups and Downs

A year which was one Helluva Ride

A year so Mirroring Life!

A year which I wish I could Hold On to

But The Oracle spoke "Every Beginning Has an End"

So I bid 2006 a Hearty Good Bye.

Cause deep down I know,"Every End is a precursor to a New Beginning."

With Optimism of Tomorrow

With Freshness of a Spring Flower

With Patience of a Tortoise

With Enthusiasm of a Child

With Courage of a Thorn in the Dessert

With Persistence of a Wave against a Cliff

2007 Here I Come!!!!!!!!

excited,
Neo

You might have guessed it.
After it happen there and there and many more places. Its happening here.
You can term it Bloggers’ block or just say Gon blanc! but the fact is "I just cannot write!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

waiting to come back,
Neo

Only the Paranoid Survive

Written by Andy Grove, this book is not really about Intel but it is about what one can learn from the experience. The book can be summarized in one quote:

Success breeds complacency. Complacency breeds failure.
Only the paranoid survive.

Andy explains his point through a strategic inflection poin(SIP)t. When a company is going through an SIP, all the business rules suddenly change. A company that is able to spot this and act upon it will be the one moving forward. Frequently, it is not possible to recognise the strategic inflection point until it is actually occurring. For this reason, the most successful companies are the ones that are always questioning and looking over their shoulders. The outcome of an SIP is illustrated aptly:

The book is full of common sense, backed up with case studies from the world of successful - and not so successful - businesses. This book reminded me of a quote by Charles Darwin:

It’s not the survival of the fittest or the most intelligent species,
But the one who is most adaptable to change.

Truly - Only the Paranoid Survive.

Watchful,
Neo.
