A Better BSNL
Over a year ago, at a conference, we were trying to make a point about the sorry state of the Indian government’s web presence.
To show the possibilities, we re-designed the BSNL website homepage to show clarity in communication, navigation and basic usability. I dug up the shot to share it here and BSNLs website still is unchanged.

I hate it when people call themselves ‘entrepreneurs’ when what they’re really trying to do is launch a startup, so they can cash in and move on. Theyre unwilling to do the work it takes to build a real company, which is the hardest work in business.

We’re born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we’re not alone.

The mighty pen
In a fast paced world where megapixels and bandwidth take center stage, a small group of people rewind things just a little bit to make a tiny (handwritten) statement.

Good interface design is as transparent as possible, because I dont want to have to think about it. I just want to write, or do whatever else Im doing, and not have to think about whatever Im doing it on.

Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels.
Almost all of us knew that Steve Jobs has been suffering from cancer. But somehow, that does not make it easier to come to terms with the fact that the leader of Apple is no more.

Cupcake Love
We may just have found the best cupcakes in the whole wide world. So here we are, spreading the joy!
Leadership qualities are not the qualities that enable people to attract followers, but those that enable them to do without them. They include, at the very least, courage, endurance, patience, humor, flexibility, resourcefulness, determination, a keen sense of reality, and the ability to keep a cool and clear head even when things are going badly. This is the opposite of the charisma that we hear so much about.

Every monster has a big shadow. That’s what makes it a monster. In fact, when you look the monster in the eye, when you calmly and carefully inspect the actual monster, you discover that he’s not so bad after all. It’s just the shadow that’s scary. When in doubt, ignore the shadow.

Most companies would love to have rabid fanatic customers like Apple, Harley, or Starbucks, but don’t realize how expensive those customers are. They generate more customer service calls. They demand more features. Their expectations are sky-high and they dont hesitate to spread the word if you let them down.

Airplane food cart and tray size
I was on a plane recently and noticed something different from my other trips.
The food cart that comes along with your food was slightly less wide and thinner; nothing too small but definitely compact. I thought about what they had done.

Peek-a-boo CEOs
We’re all adequately curious about our CEOs and what they do when they are not not taking over companies or making headlines. And most of them are always giving us little peek-a-boo’s into their lives to egg us on. But then there is also that crop of CEOs who prefer to stay out of the limelight.
