United Bayern.. Le Arse Barca.. Wow!
Now, that’s what the Champions league is about isn’t it?
Arsenal vs Barcelona – The 2 teams that play the most beautiful football on the planet.. (United probably come a close 3rd. For us, it’s about the goals and the attack mindedness necessary to win, not so much about the beauty..)
And United vs Bayern.. heavyweights again!
Waaa! Can’t wait..
Leadership is simply about caring more than the next person – Jack Welch..
Simple, succinct but so very true and powerful..
Dismisses the myth that we are leaders only when we are given a position. :)
And also proves that the greatest leadership position is that of a parent.. :)
Good morning.. have a great day! :)

Question to organizations – are your people treated as expenses or assets/investments?
A normal balance sheet marks salaries of employees in the expense section and machines under the assets section..
Now, isn’t that an irony?
‘The problems we face cannot be solved at the same level we were at when we created them’ – Einstein
So, firstly we need to put in thought thought.. and secondly, we cannot solve it if we are in a hurry/stress that created it! ..
Have a nice day! :)
Thoughts while sitting down and waiting for a shuttle bus..
Disclaimer: This was written a month or so ago and was stuck in my phone.. thought I should put it up as a reminder to ‘take time to smell the roses’.. :)

1) There’s a pleasant breeze blowing..
2) I can hear the beautiful sound of birds
3) There’s the pleasant thought of some fun hard court football coming up..
Sitting down and doing nothing n a fine sunday.. There are a few worrying items in life as always but that’s for later.. now for some football..
* I write this as this wait for the bus is in stark contrast to all other times when I am generally running late for a class/writing an email/listening to a book/wondering about what’s going to happen with my fyp and the like..
Nice to do something difference once a while..
A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.~ Mark Twain
Good morning.. Let’s approve ourselves today.. ;)
Tribute to the Sparkz Team..
Top Row – From Left:
Magdeline: To an incredible execution person. She was our person for high-stress jobs like the logistic movement of all finale participants and the slotting of audition performers
Wei Han: The funny guy. Very smart and made it despite being sick.. source of humor in so many many meetings!
Chan Way: Humility and sweetness personified. If there was ever an errand we did not want to run, Chan Way would willingly volunteer..
Chandni: To a person who survived a tough test in these past months with a great attitude and strong character.
Shakthi: Very smart, caring and disciplined. We decided to call her ‘stress free’ Shakthi so as to remind her that it’s important to let go of worry once a while.. :)
Liang Zhu: To the ‘ice man’.. a cool dude who is unfazed under all pressure. Expecting big things in the day ahead from our man, Liang Zhu..
Look down(starting from the right) :)
Payodh: Another ‘ice man’. Our stage manager and most recent entrant to our team. Payodh was exceptional in the value he added in just 2 days alone that he made it to the honors role. Great guy!
Shweta: Survived the last few days ‘commando training’. So passionate about her ideas, open about her feelings and expression – Shweta was great to have on the way – a sibling of sorts. :)
Ramees a.k.a Superman: And what a superman he would have been. He was saving us with no x-ray vision! Incredible attention to detail, stunning organization skills – Ramees is a gem in every sense. Our next objective is that he begins to put this into use for some much needed monetary gain..
EB : Elayabharath Elango by day, EB by night. ;) Our publicity genius.. so calm and cool that he was trusted to handle the entire IT of the event entirely. And what a great job he’s done over the past few months. He’s been indispensable!
Valerie: Lucky are those who are Val’s friends. Immensely caring and dependable. It was almost a joke that whenever we needed an important job done and we didn’t know who was in-charge, we had to just say ‘Valerie’ and she’d nod and get it done. I miss having her around!
Bottom Row – Extreme Right
Nishanth: I have known Nishanth for 3 years and he never ceases to amaze me. Incredibly smart with anything that involves technology and algorithms. Wonderful with handling tough situations and most importantly, a person who fills the room with his geek humor and laughter..
Bottom Row – Extremely Left
Tejasvi: Chop chop queen. Was the brain behind all logistics. That dependable engine hardly ever stops for a rest. Very caring, sweet, very humorous with wise cracks and just extremely extremely dependable..
Center
That would be me.. :)
