Ketan's Musings

I think I’ve made some real progress this week, with respect to coming to a balance in my daily activities, I’ve found time to complete my work in 8 hours (doing some interesting research on my project,) read some of my books, play volleyball on the ground next to our corporate office, discuss with Nirav on project estimation and exchanged some blog entries on what might be expected of Java 7.

I’m now able to leave for home by 8:00 PM, enjoy dinner, and have a good night’s sleep. That’s a healthy life I’m enjoying at the moment. Hope to keep up the same tempo.

I’ve just begun reading “Who Says Elephants Can’t Dance? Inside IBM’s Historic Turnaround”

During the early to mid 90′s, IBM was a company that had begun to flounder after designing the first business computer. Louis Gerstner Jr. takes you inside his historic turnaround at IBM to show that culture can be changed. From not offering the high placed salaries to a culture where not everyone’s job is secure were all remarkable to the folks at IBM. You really get an inside look at the company during his tenure and this book is invaluable if you are trying to study the computer industry.

Elephants can indeed dance!

After a long time, this blog is finally up and running. In case you see any problems, do write to me.

So I got my own domain, padegaonkar.name. There are plans that almost all the Padegaonkars use this domain name for emails, and webpage hosting. Hurray.

I’m hoping that gmail host this domain for emails

So I got my PAN card this afternoon in a grand total of 15 days. It was definitely no pain.
