I stopped cyber-squatting around 1.5 years back – when I got into job – because
a) I felt I am spending too much time on Internet – which is not going to fetch me anything valuable (read – roti, kapra & makaan). At max, It would just keep on satisfying my alter-ego.
b) I felt I would blabber something about my work etc hence hampering my professional career.

Nowadays – not doing something valuable at work or in life – I checked some of the (cyber) places I used to visit a lot earlier .. two of them – pagalguy & vantage point – or rather their owners .. are worth mentioning here ..

Alwin Agnel & Gaurav Sabnis – owner of the above two places – it seems are becoming quit famous in the indian cyber world – and albeit the regular media also ..
I did not had much time to research much but what I came to know that BW had a cover story on Alwin Agnel and his forum – pg.com – where I was also once a regular contributor. Gaurav Sabnis – an MBA from IIML – it seems resigned from IBM due to some differences b/w some of his blog article & IIPM

I am a great admirer of both of them and feels happy for them getting recognized .. but also feel that the kind of effort they are putting in the cyber world – would they have put in the real world – the gains would have been (or would not have been) much more brighter, sweeter ..

I really feel sorry for someone leaving a job/organization he likes on something as trivial as an article on his blog ..

Flying back to India this weekend. First time flying by Aeroflot. Will be going via Moscow (Wow!!)

Anyways, was trying to compose a Good Bye mail for the customer ..

Dear All,

The moment has come for me to say final good bye to all of you.
Let me take this oppurtunity to thank you all for giving me the valuable support for the project. I really had great working experience with you all – learning nitties & gritties about system and most importantly in learning about this country, the people and the culture. When I look back, I cherish each day and each moment well spent. I find myself fortunate enough that all my efforts were very much appreciated by all of you but I would like to give the credit to the support & guidance I received from all of you for the same.

This is one of those moments of my life when I have so much to say and I find myself getting short on words. So, let me stop here by thanking all of you once again and requesting you to visit us at India sometime giving us the oppurtunity to return the hospitality we received from your side.

Thanks & Regards,
