A New Identity for Indian Rupees! - For the Growing Economy!
Rupee is to about to join the elite league of World Economy through its new symbol! Reserve Bank of India’s Executive Director HR Khan feels a symbol for the rupee was absolutely necessary.

Check these finalized 5 symbols and post your comments,

Yahoo Open Hack India : Registrations Open
Namaste! Open Hack India is back, and we’re excited to see what creative hacks the vibrant Indian developer community can come up with. This is the 13th Yahoo Open Hack event we’ve hosted globally and will be the 3rd one in Bengaluru. The event will be held on the weekend of July 24-25 at the The Taj Residency, Bengaluru.
Registration is now open.
Due to the limited size of the venue, we will be reviewing applications for attendance and giving preference to those we believe will best be able to contribute to the development of a hack at the event. You can hack individually or in groups, but please sign-up individually.
There are two types of registration choices:
- Info Geek Those who are interested in attending the Technology Seminars and presentations on Saturday morning but not the main hack event. If you sign up here, you will be asked to leave after the tech talks end on Saturday.
- Hacker Gurus Those who are pure of heart or creative souls, love hacking up new ideas, possess entrepreneurial passions, or just want to build something for world peace…or for an overnight tech-mayhem-and-hacking-bliss. It includes the Saturday tech presentations, hacking through the night, Sunday demos, and judging.

Forget You, Focus on your Ideas
For all my blog readers out there, this is a fabulous post everyone needs to pay attention. Everyone wants to self-promote themselves and become a RockStar! But in the process of Self-promotion, most of them end up with self-adulation which in-turn sabotage your esteem.
Self-promotion may be key to career advancement but, let’s face it, cross that line into shameless self-congratulation and bragging and you’ll just turn people off in a major way. So how can you edge right up to that invisible boundary but not cross over it?
Copyblogger’s Nathan Hangen tackled this question recently and came up with a very simple but hugely useful distinction between boorish bragging and helpful self-promotion — the former is all about you, the latter all about your audience. Hangen explains:
Self-promotion may be key to career advancement but, let’s face it, cross that line into shameless self-congratulation and bragging and you’ll just turn people off in a major way. So how can you edge right up to that invisible boundary but not cross over it?
Copyblogger’s Nathan Hangen tackled this question recently and came up with a very simple but hugely useful distinction between boorish bragging and helpful self-promotion — the former is all about you, the latter all about your audience. Hangen explains:
The reason that self-promotion works and self-adulation doesn’t is because self-promotion is the art of spreading ideas, concepts, and a greater vision. Self-adulation is just the promotion of accomplishments, deeds that have already been done.
When you promote ideas, you give people something to cheer for. You give people a cause to support. People, in many ways, are selfish. They promote the things that make them feel good. Your accomplishments aren’t likely to make them feel good, but your ideas do.
Your ideas might inspire hope, thought, or action . . . but as a general rule, good ideas inspire something.In the rest of the post, Hangen offers some tips on exactly how to broadcast your ideas effectively. If you’re interested in the topic, it’s well worth a read.
5 Tips to never forget a name again
- Make a choice to care. A kind of “first principle” of relationship building applies here. If you make a conscious decision that you are going to remember names, because you care about the people you meet, you will immediately become much better at doing it!
- Picture the name written across their forehead. Think that sounds dumb? It’s not. It was a trick used by Franklin Roosevelt and he amazed his staff with how well he remembered names.
- Listen to the name of the person you are being introduced to. If you don’t hear the name clearly the first time, ask them to repeat it. Again, this seems obvious, but some of you are so convinced you aren’t going to remember that you don’t even listen in the first place!
- Repeat the name as soon as possible. You can either repeat it as a confirmation, “Joe, right?” or in conversation, “Nice to meet you, Joe.” Either way, say it aloud and look the person in the eyes, too.
- Use word or picture associations to make the person-name combination more memorable. For someone named Joy, picture her with a huge smile on her face, glowing with happiness. Imagine Sandy on a beach. Maybe Mike is singing karaoke. The more unusual the picture, the more memorable. Be creative!
10 Tips to Impress HR
- Never badmouth anything or anyone. This applies to your former employer, coworkers, or Osama bin Laden. We’re trying to screen out whiners and troublemakers. I don’t care if your last supervisor was a tyrant. Be kind and magnanimous about everything and everyone.
- Make sure your appearance is in order. Fair or not, you are judged based you based on how you look. Check your fly and make sure your eyebrows are smooth.
- Don’t smoke on the day of the interview. We can smell it. We don’t like it. There is an unconscious bias against smokers, and let’s face it, you have a reputation for being lazy. Smokers are more expensive to insure, too. Why would we want you on the payroll? Help me help you. Don’t smoke.
- Don’t be too aggressive and tell us how awesome you are. You’re here, aren’t you? A little humility, and some self-deprecating comments, will go along way with HR professionals. Trust me.
- Don’t tell us your life story. We hate it when you confuse HR with your mother, your therapist, or your best friend.
- Don’t expect us to have a timeline for the interview process. We have no idea how long it will take to fill the position. Ideally, we want to fill the opening tomorrow so we can get back to online shopping. Realistically, it will probably take a few months.
- Be prepared to talk about your strengths and weaknesses. Don’t ever tell us that you struggle to delegate. You care too much. You take on too much responsibility. An interview is a conversation, not a bad eHarmony profile. Show some self-awareness.
- When you take us through your resume, don’t gloss over the mistakes. We like it when you stop and tell us about an experience that taught you something. It shows character. Address your flaws outright and tell us how you learned something.
- Compliment us. Seriously. We are human beings, too. Scan our offices and look for awards, photos, or something noteworthy. Make a connection. This is what salespeople do, and it works. We will remember your praise.
- Make it easy for us to hire you. When you give us examples during the interview process, frame those examples in a way that relates to the job description, the issues in the industry, or the company’s mission. Be relevant and you will be remembered.
Atlast Yahoo caught the CyberSquatter Flicker.com
Wikipedia terms "Cybersquatting" as
" Cybersquatting (also known as domain squatting), according to the United States federal law known as the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act, is registering, trafficking in, or using a domain name with bad faith intent to profit from the goodwill of a trademark belonging to someone else. The cybersquatter then offers to sell the domain to the person or company who owns a trademark contained within the name at an inflated price. "
Typo-prone photographers appear to owe Yahoo a "thank you." After making at least one generous offer and then resorting to a lawsuit, the company's acquired Flicker.com, presumably for the sake of saving people who misspell "Flickr" from visiting the wrong site.
Flickr should start seeing more visitors before long, though, and this move may boost Yahoo's reputation in addition to its traffic stats, since helping people reach their intended destination isn't such a self-serving act. Still the site has not been redirected!

6 Online Networking Mistakes you need to Avoid!
I find many HR's looking around the Social Networks to make a best fit of the project to the Employee's area of interest, thereby giving the employee a well-known platform to work with and use their creative skill and latent interest in the work assigned to them. In this context, there are many online gaffes possible which can sabotage our career advancement. Check out this article where you can avoid the 6 usual mistakes @ social Networking!

Wow! This time @ Konai Falls and @ Kalahasti, Andra Pradesh!
Yesterday I went to Konai Falls and Kalahasti Temple @ Andra Pradesh! It was an awesome experience for me to see how matured people are in cherishing the customs and spiritual gifts left by ancient rulers. My dad enrolled me and my sister in a pooja @ Kalahasti. I still can't able to understand why there are many untold and unknown science behind all these customs and beliefs.
