This one is interesting. Though it may not have anything to do with google, but google has of late become a synonym for "search". This is also about search, but much beyond the regular web search.
How many times have you misplaced your keys, glasses or a remote. Wouldn't it be great if our search for stuffs like this is made easy?

what are processes? and why are they worshiped and followed like a religion by some. For me those who do it without taking into consideration the real "objectives" are robots. From whatever common sense i have, i understand that processes are laid and followed to make sure that the real objectives are achieved without going through unnecessary hiccups and bottlenecks. What it turns out today, some people use process in a manner that itself results in hiccups and bottlenecks. And "real" objectives ?? Gone to dogs.. we have only one objective.... "follow the process"

When one thinks differently, it is more likely that he/she gets branded as a rebel. And, when you are in india, you can be doubly sure about that. The objective of following a trend or the so called norm is to grab all learnings. Two situations can never be same. Ofcourse, they can be similar... but same? i doubt it. So there cannot be a ready made solution for everything.

I am not an avid reader, but when my friend anshum praised and suggested a book to me, i thought i'll give it a try. I am still not finished with "The world is Flat" by Thomas L. Friedman, but could agree and relate to many of the author's observations. The important observation was conceding part of your work to others. He talked about big business houses outsourcing and in-sourcing their work and benefiting from it. This is not just limited to big business units, but is relevant everywhere as well. The old school of thought was to accumulate as much work as possible, or sometimes beyond it.

Hmm.. sounds good. Well, not a big deal for many, but it is a refreshing feeling for me to be a certified Project Management Professional. Frankly, I didn't study seriously in the beginning, but towards the end pushed myself. The main concern however was that my 25K of examination fee will go in the drain if i don't do well :-) Got a lot of support from shikha (my wife). I must admit that for a lazy guy like me and from a not so big company like naukri, it wasn't easy. Firstly the industry I am in do not follow processes by book.

Few days back, a friend suggested an offline wiki to take notes. I decided to check it out and found it really cool. The best thing about it is its simplicity; yet it is very useful. That according to me is the essence of any good product.
Tiddlywiki is a very powerful concept. You can work offline in an html file and save it. It uses html, css and javascript and runs on any browser. Some important features that is provided by it are,

Ever wondered what will happen if some of the web 2.0 (or so called) concepts are used in a restaurant or in a dress store ? Well, i was just thinking about it when i came across these funny thoughts, yet interesting ones.

Saturdays are dull in office. Not interested in doing the regular work, i decided to do little bit research. Searching for a specific algorithm, i stumbled upon the good old "vector based model" for search. Thought about brushing up my knowledge on the same and write a comprehensible writeup on it.
In this model the frequency of words is the catch. In the Salton's vector based model both local and global information is considered.

Term Weight = Wi = tFi * log (D/dFi)

Here,

Concept ... i m working on.

"Every man belongs to some community ! Similary, Every word should belong to one or more group or category"

"More the strength of communities, more stronger will be the chance of a man fitting into a community. Same is true for a word also....In other words, more the data, more chance for a word to fit into a pattern. "

Its a fresh day, there is a bunch of Great Ideas, you have high energy level, it is time to do some action... before it even starts, your ideas are exposed to a number of double barrel guns shooting continuously with reasons why we should not work on the "Great Ideas". Now what ???
One option can be to lay back and work only on pre-approved ideas or "requirements" in other words. But hey, we are innovators and we believe in our ideas. So we decide to take the other path and start work on them. Well... in STEALTH mode though for obvious reasons :-)
