Conversation with Akram Syed on the recent Indian elections

I listened to a recording of my program and thought I did a reasonably good job in my first foray into radio broadcasting.

Couple of glitches – the ads seem to come on somewhat earlier that I expected (cutting me and a caller off at one point) and I did not quite figure out how to pick up and hang up incoming calls while attempting to take them live on the air.

My article in The Indian American on outsourcing

I wrote this article Outsourced! in late 2007 for The Indian American magazine and got some good feedback from many readers.  If you have any comment after reading the article, please feel free to post.

Finally getting into blogging ….

I am just setting up and refining this blog and hopefully I will figure out all the kinks soon to be able to write on a regular basis.

Here’s the prayer (in Sanskrit) hoping that this is an auspicious beginning:

Shuklam Baradaram Vishnum, Sasi Varnam Chatur Bhujam,
