The first one

My quest for blogging starts with this first piece.

I am just pondering upon how people can positively influence you and your actions. I have not been certain very basic things since last few days. And my mentors have praised me and are so confident that I will do things successfully that if not for my sake, I hav to do things for their sake. I guess, "How to win friends and influence people" is a very favourite book.

Present assignment is "The next millionaires". Economy is a very very interesting science.
As Pradyut sasys in his Blog "http://tuydarp.blogspot.com/", Principles of Finance offered by Dr. Raman Kumar of the Business school in Virginia Tech is a phoenomenal course and the credit goes completely to the guy. Mann, the passion with he speaks about the subject, makes the class a sheer pleasure to attend.

Also, the example he gives about Social security as a ponsee scheme is so kool. "Only Federal government can come with such a scheme and make it lawful." I at least know that I would be financially free before 30's. Ask me how.

Well, web-services and Grids beckon now.

I found this interesting and so relevant :

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
