Tidbits here and there. Monday, September 01, 2014. MediaCom Mavericks vs IBM. The following is a writeup by Chris Myers on the match past weekend. Copying verbatim.

A good score but not an insurmountable one. Most importantly - $293 dollars raised . The Mavericks tail did wag however with some double figures ...

Tidbits here and there: Uni-Tasking vs Multi-Tasking for School Students in India

http://blog.shreeni.info/2013/07/uni-tasking-vs-multi-tasking-for-school.html

Tidbits here and there. Monday, July 15, 2013. Uni-Tasking vs Multi-Tasking for School Students in India. The students at this school were a very promising lot - they are aware of diverse range of companies and concepts and have the kind of ambition that I don't think our batch mates had back in the day. I hope they use their energy and enthusiasm in doing good things for society in the coming years. Src: http:/ kaw.stb.s-msn.com/i/3F/BBF285B8A7BCEFF2E4988BA2AE9665.JPG.

Tidbits here and there: Investing with FundSuperMart is a bad idea

http://blog.shreeni.info/2014/05/investing-with-fundsupermart-is-bad-idea.html

Tidbits here and there. Tuesday, May 06, 2014. Investing with FundSuperMart is a bad idea. That said, POSB/DBS. Has a special offer where they won't charge you a sales fee if you do a Regular Savings Plan (RSP) through them. This was a boon for investors like me - who didn't have up front capital, but were looking to set aside something every month. Earlier this year, I explored the idea of investing through FundSuperMart. I was shocked, and angry. Upon investigation, FSM informed me that only the fu...

Tidbits here and there. Tuesday, December 21, 2010. Economics of a Rikshaw Puller in Delhi. On my recent trip to Delhi, I had the opportunity to travel in a cycle rickshaw (the Metro-town connections are still not good in some places like Dwarka) and I chatted up with all the rickshaw pullers I engaged with to try and understand their economic condition. Those who had families in Delhi struggled even more with the incomes that they wished that their families could stay back in villages. Disclaimer: The f...

Tidbits here and there. Thursday, August 25, 2011. Some thoughts on Anna Hazare and Jan Lokpal Bill. What a fantastic movement. This is turning out to be! Never before have I seen so much following for something that does not have either a caste, religious or a regional connotation. If nothing else, this movement should be hailed for bringing together people for a cause beyond their own boundaries. I am pleasantly surprised. Sucheta Dalal, writes on her twitter stream. No, you idiot. This is not why ...

Tidbits here and there. Sunday, November 06, 2011. A reasonably scary evening. Right then, having had a comfortable sleep, now is the time to write about the 2 hours last evening that had me pretty worried. Mid way into it, a car in front off us decided to sway into our lane with little notice, and on express way, at 90 kmph speeds, and had it not been our alert cab driver, we would have rear ended the car in front and I should have been a grievously injured man, if not dead. That was averted. About it&#...
