Reciprocation And Birthday Gift

One of my favourite books is Robert Cialdini's "Influence". I had read the book few years ago on my Kindle (which I lost a couple of years ago ЁЯе▓). However, last week someone gifted me hard copy of the book as birthday present. I had just started re-reading the book and was on the second... Continue Reading →

Dark Desire 2 And Deep Desire in Dreams

Few weeks ago I wrote about Spanish erotic thriller web-series on Netflix called Dark Desire. The web series is an average one-time watch (Rating: 6.5/10).

People from other nationalities in my class always said that they were not able... Continue Reading →

Movies…Music…Memories!

I am a movie buff. To be precise: Hindi movie buff. I have been watching movies since very young age - remember from age 5. In late 80тАЩs and early 90тАЩs, before the satellite television came, all movies used to get released on Video cassette/tapes - not few weeks later, but almost immediately. In villages...

What Makes Great Institutes Great?

What makes great institutes great? In particular, what makes great educational institutes great? I have often thought about both these questions since the time I studied Organizational Behavior. My Professor, a thorough Englishman, had a very humorous way of teaching a boring subject like OB. He talked about organizational Structure and Culture and how the... Continue Reading →
