Notes from My First Lesson on Finance- part one »

As an entrepreneur,one often finds him/herself getting their hands dirty with the nuances of finance. Ask any entrepreneur and s/he would tell you how important (and boring)it is to  know the basics of finance. That is precisely one of the reasons behind TiE Mumbai hosting a session on ‘Managing your financial issues’ as a part of the ‘ TiE Institute Knowledge series’.

Fortunately M. Hariharan,Director Savoir Faire (an entrepreneur since the last eighteen years) was probably as skilled in participant expectation management as he is in Total Cost Management. His constant dosage of funny anecdotes and analogies not only kept me wide awake through this 4.5 hrs session but also encouraged me to take notes.
I’m posting these notes for the benefit of entrepreneurs. Hope it helps

Citizens are putting their words into action and putting in all efforts to channelize their anger and pain into building a better, safer future for all of us.

Post the terror attacks, citizens are engaged in constructive activities ranging from organizing peace/protest rallies, candle lighting, debates, blood donations, creating FB orkut groups and discussion fora, writing blog posts etc. The motive being clear: to challenge the system and make sure that we create a diligent and safe society.

The band that rocked the crowd and set the stage ablaze moved apart for self centric reasons to give some of its members a successful and ‘well settled life’: the life without a calling.
The story takes you across the split and merger of MAGIK with the magic of meaningful music combined with a coherent sense of direction.

The Smart Shopper Series »

Let me to introduce you to the smart shopper series that I propose to initiate here at !!pseudonormicks!!

This series would comprise of posts that deal with various aspects of consumer shopping spanning across topics like how business works, tips and tricks to smart buying and of course some great deal listings.

This is not a well thought of and a well planned attempt, so kindly bear with me if it doesn’t live up.

Currently I am also researching on building up a service that caters to individuals who value their time and money while out shopping. For the same purpose I’ve initiated a survey that would help me understand consumer preferences.

The short questionnaire would take you approximately 7 minutes to fill up and you can find it over here.
