Kimi the king
Yesterday was one of those unbelievable days for Kimi Rakkionen and Ferrari fans. Just a couple of races ago it seemed nothing would stop Hamilton from becoming the youngest world champions .... and here we are ... Kimi who had a very slim chance is the champ! If we look back at how the season panned out for Kimi, the season start was quite ordinar... more...

You never fail until you stop trying
Here is a nice story that I came across ...There was once this guy who is very much in love with his girl. This romantic guy folded 1,000 pieces of paper cranes as a gift to his girl. Although, at that time he was just a small fry in his company, his future didn't seem too bright, they were very happy together. Until one day, his girl told him she ... more...

The Nash equilibrium
The YouTube video showing (reported on CNN-IBN)  the buffalos rescuing a young calf from a bunch of lions is an amazing example of the collective action. It is very evident that the calf could be rescued only because the herd fought with the lions and clearly the lions were overpowered and outnumbered by the herd.

Life outside work
Sometimes I feel we live just to work, except for a few days in a year from morning till night we are either doing work/business or preparing for it.

Inspiring story
Here is an inspiring story that I read ... thought it is worth sharing it here   A 10-year-old boy decided to learn Judo despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a terrible car accident. The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master. The boy was doing well, so he couldn"t understand why, after three months of training, the master had taught him only one move. "Sensei," the boy finally said, "Shouldn"t I be learning more moves?" "This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you"ll ever need to know," the sensei replied. Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training. Several months later, the sensei took the boy to his first tournament. Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy deftly used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals. This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. For a while, the boy appeared to be completely outclassed. Concerned that the boy might get hurt, the referee called a time-out. He was about to stop the match when the sensei intervened. "No," the sensei insisted, "Let him continue." Soon after the match resumed, his opponent made a critical mistake: he dropped his guard. Instantly, the boy used his move to pin him. The boy had won the match and the tournament. On the way home, the boy and sensei reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the boy summoned the courage to ask what was really on his mind. "Sensei, how did I win the tournament with only one move?" "You won for two reasons," the sensei answered. "First, you"ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. "And second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm." The boy"s biggest weakness had become his biggest strength. Sometimes we feel that we have certain weaknesses and we blame others, the circumstances and our self for it, but we never think that our weakness can become our strength one day. Each of us is special, so never think you have any weakness, never think of pride or pain, just live your life to its fullest and extract the best out of it. "You have powers you never dreamed of. You can do things you never thought you could do. There are no limitations in what you can do except the limitations of your own mind." It is important to reinforce our beliefs that there is an opportunity in every challenge, it is up to us to convert it into something constructive. We will win some and lose some, but not taking up the challenge may be the worst option one could choose.    more...
