Indian Cricket team – Great Home coming!

Posted by orione on March 24, 2007

Absolute Sitting ducks ! What was supposed to have been a stroll in the park has turned to be the worst nightmare for the Indian cricket team. With the gloomy news of Woolmer’s murder sitting heavy on the world cup proceedings the media is going very light on the team.We cannot discount the fact that such a dismal performance was never before seen in a world cup from India. This is the very team on whom India Inc spends more that 100 Crores in the way of sponsorhip, brand endorsements and appearances. I wouldnt be surprised if the sensex on the large caps take a dip on monday. Such a perilous performance and the overplayed media hype around the team that it will bring the cup back pls guys wake up to reality, this indian team is like a pack of sitting ducks on dark pond waiting to be hunted down. Minnows are roaring and the diseased and old lion is yet to wakeup. This team is good to play in doctored indian pitches and fixed foreign grounds. I hardly write about cricket but to see that corporate india is wasting so much on such a bunch of jokers makes my blood boil. Anyway happy homecoming ! At least now all these companies will realise their mistakes.

BCB3 and my experiences with BCB2 !

Posted by orione on March 24, 2007

Barcamp Bangalore has always been a very pleasant experience for me One of the core reasons being that I am a visitor to the Bangalore and most of the purpose of me going there will be to get together for a learning and contributing ideas as such. My focus is more on the content and to derive value for that secondly it serves as a totally new pitch where we meet a lot of new people apart from the core team of Barcamp Bangalore (who btw are a set of amazing individuals) . My previous experience with Barcamp Bangalore was at 2006 when the second edition was held at Yahoo Labs. I have very pleasant memories of that camp. There was a large overdose of ROR, Pinko marketing and Taazza but it was scrum that really captured my attention and over the following weeks we at Fuente and Mecosoft developed this into a practice for smaller web based projects and today its one of the landmark standards that we established in 2006.

BCB3 I am sure will spark more such ideas into my mind.This time I will be there with an expectation as well as representing the brand of The knowledge Foundation as we want to spread the idea and the concept of knowledge sharing movement among the youth in India.
