If I were to believe this BBC Article, success of the above companies have been because of ‘Vaastu’.

Most of the VC companies have a Portfolio section in their website, where they showcase the companies that they have incubated/funded. Bessemer Venture Partners is one VC company which also has a section called “Anti-Portfolio”. In this section, they have listed out companies/opportunities they passed on, which latter on went on to become huge successes. Bessemer Venture Partners is one of the oldest VC firm and the candor on their part only reflects their maturity, courage and humility.
However, in the hindsight, considering what was on the table, the glaring misses are only understandable. Opportunity seldom comes calling wearing impeccable business suits.
The Anti-Portfolio begins with a Nice quote-
“When we stop to think, we often miss our opportunity.” —Maxim 185, Publius Syrus, 42 BC.
Lesser mortals would have died out of remorse and regret moping over the lost opportunities. The list at Anti-Portfolio makes an interesting read-
An unchecked email addiction feeds itself to become a sinister monster that controls and wreaks havoc on life!
Here are 10 Psychology studies that advise us to check mails less often (Methinks this applies to checking updates on Social sites too). Sample also the types of Email writers-
- The cryptic: rated the most irritating type of emailer, this person fills their emails with unexplained acronyms, mostly to try and impress the boss.
- The author: thinks they are writing a novel not an email.
- The forwarder: sends on every idiotic chain letter and joke they receive, apparently without exercising their judgement.
- The player: claims not to have received your email. Quite irritating; but in these days of spam filters, hard to prove.
- The smiley: emoticon users were amongst the least irritating types of emailer.
- The succinct: the least irritating type of emailer keeps it short and to the point.
I am paranoid about Psychology Research. You never know what they will come up with. This Research- “Self-presentation 2.0: narcissism and self-esteem on Facebook” does exactly that. While it is an interesting read, it did leave me slightly embarrassed with the notion that my facebook visits may have been prompted by my inherent narcissism. But I guess, facebook narcissism may not be so bad after all. With all that Social Media analysis, I know I am in great company.
Narcissistic College Students Spend More Time on Facebook
LOL= Lots of Liquor = Long Life = Money+Social Lubrication+Less Stress
The equation seems to be too good to be true. The Time report will certainly gladden hearts of all the tipplers. Don’t know if there is more to it. I only hope the study cited in the Report is not funded by the Liquor industry. Also in the exuberation, I hope the problem of Alcoholism is not brushed under the carpet by such reports. Anyway, the operative word is ‘MODERATION’.

Magic Squares.
I always count myself as being among those who are mathematically challenged. Consequently I hold in awe anyone with ability to count up to 100 or multiply 4X4.
By my standards, this puzzlist ought to be anointed and hailed as the most exalted divinity. The square shown above is not an ordinary one.
Each row and column adds to the same sum — but so is each successive nested square, from 11 x 11 down to 3 x 3.
The magic constant of each square is 10,874 smaller than the last.
And every cell is prime.
Apparently this was composed by someone who was spending time in the prison.

Discovered: Multiple Planets Transiting a Single Star
So many planets beyond our solar system are being discovered. Mind boggles at the possibilities. Will we colonize another planet? Will aliens contact us. Do we have extra terrestrials already amongst us? Some of the UFO’s stories may have been true after all. Boldest science fiction may turn out to be tame facts or will it all be a let-down.
What will it mean to mankind when we conclusively discover lifeforms beyond our planet?

Hi, I am Niraj Singh. It doesn't take me much to become curious about generally anything under the sun. I can spend endless hours ferreting, probing, scratching or digging for information or trivia. But then collecting knowledge or trivia has been one thing and recollecting them pretty much another. The less said of it is better.
Anyway, given below are few things that are keeping me occupied these days -
Digital Marketing | Brand Management | Experience Management| CRM | SEO | SEM |Brand Identity | Typography | Web | Mobility | Marketing Convergence | Art | Design| Saturated Colors |
On this site you will find random information culled from various sources and hopefully someday, some original and utterly banal stuff from me.
