U talk about compromises... But never mention the father... Isn't he compromising too... His once beautiful wife... Who now faintly resembles the woman he fell in love with... His daughter... Who has started getting on his nerves...
But he has to bear with her... Cos it's his own child...
We all make compromises in life...
Some for good... Some for bad...
Tats y it's called life :)

Life is nothing but a mind rationalization exercise for continuation of existence...

If one makes a decision and fails, he/she would go back and change the decision - in the process we will lose out on big leaders for leadership is an outcome of failures and learnings from them. The instant in time when people make the decision to go back will always remain laden with infinite possibilities for the future - some much more positive than the path obtained by retracing. Tomorrow in either case is based on uncertainty - so the current situation is fine the way it is :)

I'll send along your sentiments, but just to be clear - Stripes belonged to a cousin and not me. He was at her place. I happen to meet him last week, so I wrote about him - no further attachment, really.

Awww... Sorry to hear about your loss dude. Hope you get a Stripes II soon, to play with those pebbles once again!

Re: Retaining Customers

Hrishikesh Thite — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 05:04:27 -0000

Could be.

I am also saying that the service provider is basically trying to pocket the entire consumer surplus, till the point the consumer threatens to move over to the competition.

Re: Retaining Customers

Gopal Balakrishnan — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 06:11:23 -0000

The point you are raising is in part one of the admin overhead and losses due to unavailability of quick change between service providers. If i could change my service provider everyday then we would get to see real competitive markets in action. But from the point of view of the service provider i think a simple task would be to offer such packages likezero rental for 2 months and 50 free calls next month and offers like these on a rolling basis so that the customer is simply linked to the anticipation of something useful and this opportunity cost of another service provider is taken care of by this anticipation.

My 2 cents.

I know this is to be taken lightly and I have taken it that way.
But, this represents our usual way of thinking, BIG people can get away with anything.

Vidyadhar — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 08:57:24 -0000

Interesting. I never thought of writing down these type of dreams. Akira Kurosawa did it and then created a masterpiece "Dreams". Good that you did it.
One thing. IRCTC link has a typo (oo.in instead of co.in)

Re: Dus Bahane

Hrishikesh — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 08:39:21 -0000

Thanks for the comments! And no, I hardly knew there was a Veer! ;P
The name is randomly inspired - wanted something exotic, but manageable.

And fixed the typo. :)

Vidyadhar — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 08:33:21 -0000

sorry for my anglo-typo above. Can't edit now. If you may do the honours!

Vidyadhar — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 08:30:08 -0000

Good series dude. Keep them coming. On a different note, did you zero in on female's name after the buzz about Salman's Veer started?

I was actually beginning to feel you have nothing better to do at IIM before I came across the statement "All of the above is detailed on the packaging itself." :) :)

Your usual self eh? Good to see that... now in France? For how long buddy?

I purchased a studio 17 it crashed first day they sent me a replacement 3 weeks later,it would not charge.Another month later i recieved another replacement,this one crashed the very first hour and I have seen the blue screen of death 3 times since.Dell just gives me the run around transferring me from operator to operator and then just hangs up.I e mailed them last week still have not heard back from them.Guess i wil just send the two computers they sent me back.With the absurd customer service I will never buy a Dell again..GOOD LUCK ALL DELL OWNERS This took place in August 2009

@Aditya: Yes, well, it's 3 years and covers accidental damage like this one. So far, I've recouped half of the pure rupee amount. Sure, the problems should not have occurred in the first place, but hey, that's how technology is. So yes, you do get what you pay for. Another way to look at this is insurance. The premiums are high for a variety of reasons, but then the other option is far worse.

@Anmol: Probably agree with your point about the volumes. They wouldn't have the stylus in stock at many locations otherwise. Should be interesting to study. They did not have the HDD in stock, when it crashed last year. But it was shipped in less than a day.

Re: Dell Support (And Why It Is Great!)

Anmol — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 15:06:06 -0000

Yes, Dell has always been excellent. I disagree with your argument of single digit XT machines in the country.

Re: Dell Support (And Why It Is Great!)

Aditya — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 15:01:49 -0000

I'm kinda surprised you paid so much for support, of course it's only ten percent of cost but still...

Kudos to Dell, anyway. If they work out well for you I'll recommend them to whoever asks me for advice next.
