Obama 08 Events

The movement does not end in November. It begins in January. I will have plenty of political events to go to. There are quite a few Barackface fans among the Obama crowd.

Nobel Peace Prize 2010

By then Nepal will have a new constitution, and will have had all its elections, and will be back on track. (पाँच बुँदा, पाँच चुनाव)

Startup

Every fiber in my body, every ounce of energy needs to go to the startup. Anything else will not do. It is high risk behavior. It has to feel intense.

Wet Clay Group Dynamics

I am to venture into 5.0, but this is going to be wet clay group dynamics. Group dynamics has to feel like technology. 2.0 does not go, but 5.0 comes with a vengeance.

Facebook

I belong with the Facebook generation.

Not Local

I think I will stick with the presidential stuff. Local races don't get me. Not even the mayoral race.

मनका हो तो अच्छा
मनका ना हो तो अौर भी अच्छा

When what you want happens, that is good
When what you want does not happen, that is even better
