Mumbai - The city of dreams..

Have heard stories of people heading to Mumbai to make it big in life. If you want to make it big in life, Mumbai is the place to be in.

So here I am, Mumbai the city of dreams..

First week was at a luxurious hotel, so no complaints there. Office is a sprawling campus with a huge building right at the centre of the city. Enjoyed the first few days making news friends, having the good food and enjoying the high life at this busy city.

Flat hunting was a painful exercise as usual with brokers trying to outsmart us at every move. Will get to that in a bit.

Let me describe my hotel stay a bit more elaborately, it was an amazing hotel room with all the amenities that you would expect from a modern hotel. It had hot water. Of all the things available in a hotel, including AC, I believe the best part is hot water. Makes all your tiredness go away, or makes you tired enough to hit the bed. Gives you the feeling of freshness all of a sudden, that blast of freshness out of nowhere.

So, in addition to that we had an AC, much needed in the sweltering heat and dust of Mumbai and some benefits like 2 pieces of laundry everyday, Wi-Fi. What would life have been if Wi-Fi was not available? I wonder..

Now coming to the bed, the all comfortable spring bed with blankets to tuck you in. Ah peace. Just what you need after a tired day struggling with life in general.

Oh and I almost forgot the TV, another one of those modern day amenities without which you can hardly survive these days. All these things combined, it was overall a very pampering and comfortable stay at the hotel in Mumbai which I refuse to name.

Coming to my favourite part, FOOD.

We had a complimentary breakfast and dinner covered as a part of the package. The food was indeed amazing, with almost all varieties of continental, chinese, what not. The only catch in this part was that I was on lent which closed the door to all the non-veg delicacies that were served there.

Made to do with all the varieties of paneer dishes available there. Tried everything including paneer fry, paneer tikka masala, paneer butter masala and so on. Had all the paneer one needs for a lifetime in that one week. So this was the amazing high life that I had during the first week of my 2 month stay at Mumbai.

Company pampered us a bit more with an air conditioned bus to commute to and fro from office. What more can you ask for? Well actually nothing!

Except for the part that all good things must come to an end. And thus that adventure also came to an end after about a week.

Attaching a few pics: [ Doesn't capture the awesomeness, yet you can have a look :P]

Decision Sciences - Post 1

#ShortPost - will cover it all over a period of time With the increasing importance of data in making decisions, let us look at some of the data related terms used in statistics which can help you make data driven decisions. Types of variables: Two important types of variables which should not leave you stunned are: Categorical (or nominal) variables Ordinal variables Categorical:  A categorical variable (sometimes called a nominal variable) is one that has two or more categories, but there is no intrinsic ordering to the categories. Ordinal: An ordinal variable is similar to a categorical variable.  The difference between the two is that there is a clear ordering of the variables.  Interval: An interval variable is similar to an ordinal variable, except that the intervals between the values of the interval variable are equally spaced.  Check the following link for more details: http://stats.idre.ucla.edu/other/mult-pkg/w...

Telangana: Do or Don't

I write this just a few minutes after a discussion with my team at work. Well it was a heated as well as a humorous debate but I was just a silent spectator as mostly Andhra guys were speaking and for the record, we had people belonging to Seemandhra(Non Telangana) and Telangana side as well. My honest opinion in this issue is that a state should not be divided. I have not done a detailed research about this topic so far. Today I heard some claims that Telangana people have been deprived of many resources and opportunities for a long period of time. If that is the case then a lot more has to be understood by myself before I pass a statement on this issue. However my general stand that a state should not be divided remains firm. What is this issue all about? Why did it come up for discussion today? The basic reason is the fact that, today in all leading national newspapers, the headline is: To quote Times of India: " Protest continues; trains, airports, hospital services...

How Flickr Did It Right

First of all, I would like to thank Chris Brogan for giving bloggers like me something to write about. Yes. In his blog he has given a list of 100 topics which he hopes that bloggers write about. In his blog he has clearly explained how some people approach him and ask about how he manages to get topics to blog about each day. He has explained how his situation is quite the opposite as for him, he has too much to write about. Not boring you anymore with my reporting. "He said, He hopes, He explained" Ok no more. So one of the topics I got from that list was: "How Flickr Did It Right" There were  a variety of topics to choose from but I chose this because I wanted to do some research before writing. Let me be honest here. At this moment when I start writing I have no clue what it is. Yes I do know its part of the popular new generation networking band wagon and that it has something to do with sharing. Maybe pics or reports or articles. I donno. In fact, I dou...
