Apartment Search

My apartment search is in full swing, After unable to find a decent apt in reasonable price using online website. I finally turned towards Real estate agent. In last two days I have spend enough time with 4 different brokers looking at 9 different apts.

At last I’ve narrowed down on one particular apartment. If everything goes well then the Real state agent will get whopping $1400 (1 month rent) as fee, that’s why people say there is huge money in real estate.

Switching between the Jobs

I always preferred moving out on my own terms than someone asks me to. Not that you get lucky always. There is this different feeling when you switch from one project to another.

You take pleasure in doing following wrap up stuff before you move on like

  • Preparing Knowledge Transfer documents,
  • Cleaning up your cubical
And On the Last day
  • Sending "Thank you" Email
  • Setting "Out of Office" email response
  • Depositing Official belongings

This is because you think that your routine life will be different for sometime, before it come backs to Routine again.

TOYOTA - Moving Forward

Sometime in business you get a unique opportunity to over come your competitor. A Smart management is a management which utilizes this opportunity for life time.

Recently, that’s what happening in Auto Industry. Toyota is surpassing the GM in all way. The Management is taking advantage of high gasoline prizes, shift in consumer mindset and drawbacks of opponent to increase their market presence and ultimately resulting into number One Position.


They are coming up with many new models (Yaris) with innovative styling and new Hybrid technologies (Prius/Camry/Highlander)

Their recent aggressive advertising like “What happens when The Best car in America, is the Best car for America” is helping them to achieve their goal.

In 1927 GM surpassed Ford as the largest auto company in the World; The day is not far when Toyota will hold that title. The Only matter is When and How long they can hold it.

Who is the Doctor?

This is from the Book Blink by Malcolm Gladwell. The author has given lots of realistic example about human behaviour. How a Person thinks without thinking, behind his locked doors of brain.
I found this particular example very interesting.

A Man and his son are in serious car accident.
The Father is killed and the son is rushed to emergency room.
Upon arrival, the attending doctor looks at the child and gasps
"This child is my son!" Who is the Doctor?

Think...?

Think...?

Think...?


The Answer is: 'The Boy's Mother'

We, People always have this automatic assumption that doctors are always Men.

A Rare $2 Dollar Bill

Do you know that there is $2 Dollar bill in the US Market...?
Today, I happen to get One and for a moment I thought it was fake. But It did buy me a Vada-Paav.

In spite of its relatively low value, the two dollar bill is one of the most rarely-seen denominations of U.S. currency. This is partially due to the low production of the note; approximately 1% of all notes produced today are $2 bills.

Now, I feel stupid that I missed the opportunity to collect it.

On different note, No matter how careful you are,You will spill the coffee on car Seat.
