sGrabber··on Why silicon valley eagerly looking at India elections
Is it? Who doesnt want to get into profitable domain. 99% of the people want to make money and there is nothing wrong in it. From what I read BPO days are gone, people are moving away from it. You need to look at some more stats before saying its only external investment running such a large economy. Truth could be different, we need to be there to figure that out.

My question still remains unanswered why people are following Indian elections. Is it India following sheep herd mentality or it has become important economy for others to watch

sGrabber··on Any recommendations on Google Glass?
Thanks for the suggestion. I think 1500 price point is too high, it shall come down to around 900-1000 once it is commercially launched.

Just too curious to know how it feels. Have you tried it.

sGrabber··on Goodbye Gmail
they are trying to make changes to improve. give them some chance to improve. They have moved all the downloading to server side & so downloading an attachment or running a video is much faster now on gmail as compared to earlier

Lets give them a chance to improve before we bid goodbye

sGrabber··on Worklight for Mobile Apps?
Is it worth using any such software that would help us develop app with single code? I am assuming it would help us manage code & standardise functionality across apps.
sGrabber··on 2014 Could Be the ‘Tipping Point’ for Female Founders, Says Jessica Livingston
Totally Agree. I see more & more female founders coming up.

I think it was great initiative by YC. Though I couldn't attend this time, Hope to have more of such conferences. Excellent way to build up our female network and learn from each other.

Kuddos to YC for taking up this initiative

sGrabber··on Good Designers, Good Clients
I totally agree client engagement is a good learning. It teaches you a lot - to be a team player, people manager, understand requirements, good listener and above helps you deliver in different environment.

All these traits are important and many early entrepreneurs think they know everything and what they doing is right. They forget to "listen" , understand exact problem and deliver what is required. This teaches all those things and matures you to be what you want

sGrabber··on To Persuade People, Tell Them a Story
Truth/facts in a engaging or engrossing way is the key.

If you tell a story which is not true i.e if you gas around, you loose credibility. True story gives credibility and BS would put the other person off totally, so be careful.

sGrabber··on Conundrum : Joomla Vs Codeigniter
Hi All Check this nice comparison between Joomla and Codeigniter. Doesn't help us take the decision but gives good comparison

sGrabber··on Conundrum : Joomla Vs Codeigniter
@ Daenney - Thanks for your prompt response, really appreciate the effort. I differ a bit to what you are saying that Joomla is only a CMS whereas Codeigniter is a framework.

As per my understanding, Joomla is not only a CMS but MVC web application framework as well. Check the wiki link for Joomla illustrating the same - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joomla

sGrabber··on MIT Police officer shot dead
CAPTURED !!! Finally the hunt is over

Thanks to the authorities. I am sure Boston will be as safe a place as it was earlier. Boston is a Home to prestigious MIT and Harvard, along with more than 60 other universities. Vibrant Boston area is full of students and workers from all over the world and I am sure very soon it will revive its charm as lively safe place

John Lennon said "give peace a chance"!

You might be the best as an individual but if you are not a team player, the probability of succeeding is minimal. Team members complement each other to make successful products/companies or any relationship
