Lehman Borthers

When I read the news about Lehman Brothers on Monday morning, I didn't really know whether to smile at my fate or worry about my best buddies who are working there. Its amazing how things change so quickly. One year ago when I forfeited Lehman's offer, I was looked upon as a fool. How can one leave such an offer for a start up company. I made matters worse when I left that job in a months time for GRE. And didn't even give GRE. Didn't get a decent CAT score either. So it was all lose-lose situation with I not being firm behind my own decisions.    And now when Lehman has collapsed some feel that I was lucky that I didn't join Lehman last year. Honestly, it is just coincidence that something like this happened. My decision could have been "correct" or "good", had I backed it with continuing work in other firm. I didn't and hence it wasn't the best of decisions to leave Lehman. In fact, till I joined Netcore in Jan my parents would always complain that I should try for Lehman again. But, I didn't want to go back to them. And I think that was a right decision. Hopefully, my friends who were in Lehman come out this "mess" safe and sound. Of course, I am sure Sidscope isn't a person to succumb to such situation. Lets hope for the best. :)

I believe it was good that you didnt join Lehman, not because it went down a year after. Infact, I would consider myself lucky to have been part of all this mess. It was an experience beyond words. Dont really know what I've gained or lost, but whatever happened was a great learning lesson. Coming back to your early decisions, right or wrong as they may seem to you now, I feel these decisions would go a long way in your life. First of all, we all do mistakes, the earlier we do them the better. So you were better of there. The fact that you took those decisions tells a lot about you. It might not seem so apparent, but it takes lot of guts to take such decisions. Hats off to you for taking those decisions !

Marathi Manoos

I read the following article in Mint yesterday. http://www.livemint.com/Articles/2010/02/19213129/The-Thackerays8217-primitiv.html I was shocked by the bias shown by the author against the Marathis. I completely agreed with him when he talks about Sena. Both Shivsena and MNS have done more damage to Marathis than they have helped. Their methods have been of violence and oppression. May it be Shiv Sena’s reaction to racists attacks in Australia or the MNIK controversy, common man is the one who usually suffers. But the author then checks the list of 30 companies in BSE and 50 in NSE, to prove that there are no Marathi person “owning” a company and goes on to say - “ The Mumbai Marathi, better at renaming things than building something himself”. Then he says - If we observe Marathi society we notice the total absence of mercantile castes. Into this space the British imported the multi-religious trading community of Surat—Vohra, Khoja, Luhana, Memon, Jain, Parsi and Vaniya. The...
