The Great Train Robbery and the IPL

The Great Train Robbery!! What a great piece of work to overcome the short sabbatical I had taken from reading. I believe it is one of the finest novels started by crichton. The story no prizes for guessing is of a train robbery organized by a certain guy called Pierce a k a John Simms right from the preparation stage to its execution and a mindblowing climax. Crichton has efectively conveyed the meticulous preparations and there is a lot of realism attached to this audacious act. More importantly, this Pierce guy effectively uses the Victorian society's weaknesses to achieve his ends. All these weaknesses have been elaborately potrayed.

Rating 5/5 Must read

The IPL is the other great thing that is happening in my life other that EPL. Although, I am torn between Sachin and Sehwag, I still have a weak spot for Delhi Daredevils. The start has been fantastic. The CSK vs DD was a match went down to the wire and Delhi eventually emerged victorious. Lets hope the daredevils lift the title this time...

Networking: A thought

Gosh!! This is one word that I have been coming across lately. A lot of people especially friends from business schools have stressed on the essence of this skill. Lot of social networking sites have also come up. Although people have claimed high rates of success, I still feel that this is one skill where Indians mastered once upon a time and the Indian way of networking had higher success rates any day.

The networking system that I am talking about is the family system. I feel that this system actually produced the best results because of greater involvement , accountability as well better expression to one's career goals in addition to career related advice. I believe that what was termed सिफारिश which was looked down upon by quite a few people has taken a more polished form called referrals. In fact some organization only accept referrals.

I strongly feel that the Indian way of networking is something that should be renewed and built upon. It is easier to connect blood relations rather than build new ones.
