Vinni — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 16:48:32 +0000

After the conclusion of the social media workshop, I talk about some key learnings and how some experiments succeeded while some didn't. Like I said in class abuses and brickbats were allowed and encouraged.

Vinni — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 05:22:41 +0000

These are the slide decks from the workshop I took in Symbiosis Institute of Business Management on social media. The classes were spread over three weeks with 2 hours each week. So it was totally 6 hours, which included 3 Hours of facilitation and 3 hours of case studies. Would appreciate feedback to improve the quality of teaching and content.

Into the Wild

Tweet Some movies change you. Into the Wild, is one of them. It’s not yet changed me, but it’s got me thinking a lot. The movie is about Chris McCandless who grew up in Annandale, Virginia, and died at age 24 in a wilderness area of the state of Alaska. After graduating in 1990 from [...]

Courage Under Fire

Vinni — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 18:54:42 +0000

TweetBefore I begin writing anything, I would like to put a small disclaimer here. Please don’t expect a direction, a moral, a conclusion or a happy ending in this article. I wrote many paragraphs individually and put them together under one heading – something that just sounded cool and with nothing more to it. I [...]

Growing up and moving on

Vinni — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 10:37:28 +0000

Tweet The college days have been good, and not matter what we thought while we were at it, they were the simplest days of our lives. No really. When I think about the assignments we got, the tests we wrote, all of it – very simple. Don’t know why we cribbed so much about them. [...]

The Other Side

Vinni — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 18:14:54 +0000

TweetThere comes a time in everyone’s life when one needs to let go of things and leave them to fate. Whatever happens is not of your concern anymore. But there are somethings that are so hard to let go, its not funny. All the years of toil and effort you put in, you don’t know [...]

Bit of everything

Vinni — Sun, 21 Oct 2007 12:47:00 +0000

TweetIts been more than a year since I came to Pune. Have been speaking to so many seniors from SIBM. They all have just one thing to say, ‘Gosh! We really miss the place’. I can’t stop wondering, what they are going through after passing out, I am going through now. No, I am not [...]

In 2000: Google MentalPlex The Google mentalPlex Google announced a new “MentalPlex” search technology that supposedly read the user’s mind to determine what the user [...]
