An APPLE today keeps MICROSOFT away..

Location: Wall Street, Lower Manhatten, New York City, USA
Date : May 26,2010...

It was just like another day...Stocks ticking green and red..
But it was the day of 2 important stocks....
the big rivals of all time..APPLE and MICROSOFT...

BREAKING NEWS : APPLE in now WORTH more than MICROSOFT..

Year 1997: APPLE..a co. that reached to where it was started..a big "ZERO"..and When Michael Dell was asked what he would do if he owned then-troubled Apple Computer, he said "I'd shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders."..and came a man for the rescue..a magician..STEVE JOBS

Year 2000: The market capitalization of Microsoft almost 35 times that of APPLE..Bill Gates decides to get off from the post of CEO..

Year 2006: Steve Jobs sent an email to all employees when Apple's market capitalization rose above Dell's. The email read: Team, it turned out that Michael Dell wasn't perfect at predicting the future. Based on today's stock market close, Apple is worth more than Dell. Stocks go up and down, and things may be different tomorrow. But it was worth a moment of reflection that day...

YEAR 2010: May 26 was the day and APPLE's market capitalization rose beyond MICROSOFT to take over as most valued technology company..a title truly deserved..keeping in mind the diversity APPLE has in its business.

Last decade saw a huge turnaround of the technology giant...the companies saw their fortune changing and this fresh piece of news was nice to hear for a person like me..an APPLE fanatic.a big fan of STEVE Jobs...

But believe me friends, the decade to come will be even more interesting, as the competition grows more..leading to more innovations and newer daily lyf products...

Best of LUCK..Apple & Microsoft..

TALENT... ATTITUDE..n EXCELLENCE...

I being a big cricket fan and an IT guy..get to hear the word "ATTITUDE" quite a lot..n wid a weekend on..i decided to give a thought on it...n suddenly another word poped up in my mind "TALENT" n soon i found them makin a conflict as if to prove their superiority.. Wat dictionary says about these words TALENT : A marked innate ability, as for artistic accomplishment. ATTITUDE : A state of mind or a feeling Just i finished up lukin d dictionary meaning one more word came up "EXCELLENCE". I rolled back in time to my school days..i realized its TALENT leadin to EXCELLENCE..me being unware of the word ATTITUDE those days..i started to move ahead further n as I grew up..now I can see that a major major part of excellence has nothin to do wid our talent.. In the course of time as u go beyond a certain level the ability or talent is the most useless virtue to possess..its wat we do wid tht TALENT matters n there comes d word ATTITUDE..Beyond a point it

A Child in Us & the Spark

It was friday afternoon...After a meeting it caught up with bad mood..bt then i somehow got a bit recovered n stuck up in the discussion of "Spark" in the relationships..i came across a lot of thoughts here n there..bt somehow I was not concinced with myself...later as I reached home..i pondered over this thought of "Spark"..how to keep that alive ? Then after a few random thoughts i realized that the key to this spark is the child in us..A few days back i read... a child smiles 300 times a day, a teenager 30 and an adult merely 21 times a day.. What happens to us over a period of time? Why do happy, carefree n curious kids turn into such fearful, complexed, cynical and hardened adults? What is it, that changes? Are we bemused because the novelty of life’s learning’s and experiences has worn off? Or Is it financial pressure that changes the axis of a smile into a grimace? I feel the situations have not changed but our reactions to them have certainly changed...Is

The Obsession of Superlatives

Let me start outright by apologizing for the inactivity on the blog, as pointed by a few special people now with some sharp questions "You didn't write anything last weekend". I would say..A bit of laziness, a bit of busy schedule and largely responsible is the reading activity resumed over the long weekend. I’m not much of a reader, but get stuck onto a few things which I find interesting, sometimes. For last few days, I have been thinking and observing mental activity and obsessions! With the type of industry I work in, people here are more obsessed than being passionate. The route we take to the office should be the quickest. Our turnaround time should be fastest. The quality of code should be best and what not. I stuck with the thought of this  obsession and rat race with the perspective of life - Why do we always want the best?  The advertisements always stress upon the superlatives in the articulately constructed product descriptions. The biggest space, widest ran
