Soulful Designs Steve Jobs was not much good at studies. You might call him a drop out. But he was a smart kid. He was capable of intense vision. He was rather crazy but was looking for excellence and commitment in everything he did. Thus came ‘Apple’. You look at Apple’s products. The Apple icon has exceeded the world excellence. Why because he poured his soul on it. We are lucky that as consumers we can touch and feel his presence in every product he reinvented for us. Apple’s products commemorate the passing away of their founder. In no way will the world surely forget such a legend that was able to reach the maximum of his existence through his excellent products made. Steve Jobs once said: "Design is the fundamental soul of a human-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service." His designs were expressively soulful. A true brain of the Apple entity, Steve Jobs never aimed to compete with his contemporary corporates...

Soulful Designs Steve Jobs was not much good at studies. You might call him a drop out. But he was a smart kid. He was capable of intense vision. He was rather crazy but was looking for excellence and commitment in everything he did. Thus came ‘Apple’. Yes, the third apple in the history of mankind. You look at Apple’s products. The Apple icon has exceeded the world excellence. Why because he poured his soul on it. We are lucky that as consumers we can touch and feel his presence in every product he reinvented for us.

      Deciphering the Leadership Enigma   The common denominator   in    Enron’s Kenneth Lay and Microland’s Pradeep Kar was that they were dynamic motivators to their team-mates.   They were leaders and some how   both lost their enigma somewhere in the race. They   were deposed from their ruined   empires.   But some leaders   are self motivated to the extent that they do not compromise with   values, aspirations and performances.   They continuously lead and motivate   their people.   They are   experts in motivaging . Indeed,   for them,    the magic wand   still continues to swirl.   For example, though    Steve    Perlman’s earlier effort, Web TV, never took off the way he hoped,   his new venture,   Moxi Digital, is supposed to be   Microsoft’s competitor in the battle to ‘digitize, simplify and supercharge ’ home ente...

  Gleaming  into Chaos What the city's inhabitants are allowed to do with the city?   A turbulent societal structure to attract world attention? All persons who live in the city either permanently or in transit are citizens.   We call Thiruvananthapuram as a city, and the people   who live here are citizens.   And our   citizens are privileged to wait at the Bus Stops, to drive their cars and bikes through the gutters and trenches, to throw away garbage indiscriminately at places of their own choice ….   Remember, all the city’s inhabitants are not able to claim that it is their own city. Being the capital city, lot of people are migrated to the city from different parts of the State for employment. Those who   are able to find their livelihood are settled here as their second-home.   And recently workers from West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand , Assam , Orissa, etc   are seen migrating in bulk to Thiruvananathapuram.   A lot of...
