Mumbai Calling!

I never had this fanaticism of being a Mumbaite, so much so as its in present time. Reason? My product manager Mrs Uma Iyer. The day she joined my organisation I was shaken up from my slumber and reminded me of my patrioticism for Amchi Mumbai, she being from there. Never in my schooling days or in colleges & for that matter of fact, in any of my organisation that I worked in Mumbai did I open my mouth to speak in Marathi (It being second language to be learned at schools in Mumbai). Now we speaks mostly in Marathi (although its stammering hard for me) & it seems I would be pro in that language very soon. Thanks to Uma Iyer! Now people around us thinks that we are bitching against them whenever we rattle off in Marathi. Its real fun!

What's a beautiful mind means?

I am reading this book called "How to have a beautiful mind" by Edward de bono. It begins with analogy between a beautiful women with a glass doll-like appearance but still people around her disappears like a smoke. On the other hand there is a mousy looking man who's surrounded by people. Why such contrast? Why is the beautiful women inspite of being beautiful not surrounded by people? What its trying to say is that one can acheive outer beauty with host of new technologies coming in markets like cosmetic surgery et al. But to acheive a beautiful mind is much more important and this can be done with little practice and following some rules. I have to still read those rules though.....:)

No matter how you look, if you have a mind that's fascinating, creative, exciting -- if you're a good thinker -- you can be beautiful. And it doesn't necessarily come from being highly educated, or even from having a great personality; it's about using your imagination and expanding your creativity.
