Coincidences are too common to me, so I'm seldom surprised, but always pleasantly amused. Like yesterday. Bumped into Ankur from school. He's now into lights and lighting words.
Bumped into Prasad from NIIT. He's now working with a call center plus doing photography as a hobby.
If that wasn't enough, Manasi (again from school) is now a certified LLB. Congrats, dudette! But my spoon of nostalgia runneth over, so more had to happen, right?
Right. Jigesh, again from school... got himself a new job in the US at Wilshire Associates (they build investment solutions) as a Software Developer.

Life is beautiful
Just saw the movie with the same title. Please watch it. Because it helped me learn something I had almost forgotten. Maintaining a positive attitude in the midst of a crisis. I don't know if I picked up to see the move because of today's incidents or something mysteriously made me watch it. Whatever it was, it made all the difference I needed. It made me cry. And smile. And appreciate life the way it is. Suddenly reminded me back of Dr.Scott Peck's teachings.
Have you ever been through a crisis and smiled through it? I did. But today, I couldn't. Not because of the series of events, but more so because I was losing my own essence. I think it's time to put my learnings into action. Ameliorate. Get back myself. And then talk about making a difference.
To change 'Things are gonna be OK' to 'Things are beautiful the way they are. Live the moment'.
Sorry about the cryptic post. It's not for you. It's for me.

Make Millions. Repeat.
Million dollar sweet dreams are made of these, ladies and gentlemen.
Narendra Rocherolle sold Webshots to http://www.excite.com in 1999 for $82.5 million. Excite went bankrupt later, and to settle off debtors, auctioned their holdings. Rocherolle and his associates bought it back at a 97% discount (!!!) for $2.4 million. Let's get to the bottom of the iceberg. The gentleman this week sold it again, this time to C|Net. At another whooping $70 million. So the next time you see a man laughing away to the bank, it's not because they changed something in the Matrix or a black cat passed by twice. Narendra Rocherolle might have cracked a deal. Again.
Trivia: C|Net also recently bought over MP3.com

Thanks for the heads up, Nick.
