hello
i generally go through life with a bemused expression. i think it is a subconscious effort to look einstein like,though my IQ is nowhere near.
as far as work goes, i am into business development for a software development firm, where we add value by outsourcing and optimising operational efficiencies.
as far as passions go, i am a keen fan of tom peters,motivated by alice in wonderland,am a book worm, love clean humour and comedy, fan of intelligent movies,turned of by arrogance or deliberate stupidity.
am highly ambitious and friends call me aggressively ambitious, but i think ambition in life is a good thing as long as there is a balance between work and family.
in addition to exploring new venture ideas for myself, i drive the business for my organization and love it..
and love writing in small caps.. differentiation matters!!!
looking forward to network with people of alll kinds..
some of my inspiring quotes
Alice in Wonderland - a book for children.. but loads of learning for adults..
I can’t believe that!” said Alice.
“Can’t you?” the queen said in a pitying tone. “Try again: draw a long breath and shut your eyes.”
Alice laughed. “There’s no use trying.” She said: “one can’t believe impossible things.”
“I daresay you haven’t had much practice,” said the queen. “When I was your age, I always did it for half-hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”
George Mallory on Mount Everest, on being asked why he climbed it...
"Because it is there."

“In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed—and produced Michelangelo, da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did they produce—the cuckoo clock.”
Mark Twain
“The best swordsman in the world doesn’t need to fear the second best swordsman in the world; no, the person for him to be afraid of is some ignorant antagonist who has never had a sword in his hand before; he doesn’t do the thing he ought to do, and so the expert isn’t prepared for him; he does the thing he ought not to do and often it catches the expert out and ends him on the spot.”
FDR
It is necessary for the President to be the nation’s No. 1 actor.”
Mahatma Gandhi
“You must be the change you wish to see in the world.”

“We make over three new product announcements a day. Can you remember them? Our customers can’t!”

Richard Branson

Isabel Allende
“You are the storyteller of your own life, and you can create your own legend or not.”
Tom Peters
If you don’t LOVE SALES … find another life.
Peter Drucker
“Ninety percent of what we call ‘management’ consists of making it difficult for people to get things done.”
Napoleon
“A leader is a dealer in hope.”
Oscar Wilde
" work is the curse of the drinking classes"
" i can resist everything except temptation"
Fable :
A small clam was sitting with its mouth open, when a speck of dirt fell inside him. “WHAAAACKTHOOO””, he spit it out, his face distorted in distaste! The elder clam next to him said, “Easy little fella, you have to let life happen to you!” But each time a bit of dirt would fall it was “WHACKTHOO”!!!
Some days later the clams closed up for their seasonal sleep! In a few months, they woke and one by one each opened their mouth! The little clam looked around and in each mouth was a glistening round shining ball! “What are those?” he exclaimed! “They are pearls” said the elder one! “How come I don’t have one?” he exclaimed in dismay! “Well,” said the elder one, “You spat out the dirt and never allowed life to happen to you!”
