Yesterday we were having lunch at Big Bazar near our office. One of our clients Raj Patel was with us. He just saw a number on one of the hoardings which read “1,60,000” which is “one lakh sixty thousand”. But since he is from U.S he was confused on why is there a comma between 1 and 6. We just explained him that this is an Indian notation. In India a hundred thousand is one lakh, and 10 lakh is a million. In India we do not use millions but rather we use lakhs. Similarly in India we use crore which is equal to 10 millions. This is really confusing for the people coming from out of India...

Key Trait #1: You must have a vision. We’ve all heard the saying “You must stand for something, or you’ll fall for everything.” But what does that really mean? Standing firm when it comes to your company’s policies and procedures is all well and good, but it doesn’t speak to having a vision. As a leader, you have to learn to communicate your vision or the vision of your company to the people you want to follow you. But how can you do that? * Learn to paint a picture with words.

Here’s a brain exercise you can use to help you concentrate better. You simply pay attention to what is going on in your head, and you resolve any little “mind irritations” you find there.

If you can become aware of all these stressors, small and large, and deal with them, you will feel more relaxed and have greater concentration and brain power in general. Dealing with them doesn’t...

Confident people are more likely to perform well and it is a known fact that enhancing confidence levels boosts one’s performance. Self-confidence is often mistaken for self-esteem but these are two different things. Self-esteem is the way one feels about him or herself – t is an evaluated judgment about oneself. A person with high self-esteem is highly critical about themselves despite being confident of doing well. Most people have an inner map that determines their confidence levels in different situations. The most important ingredient for success in any field is a strong sense...

If you want to add an existing file to a project and have the project point to the file where it resides, press the little arrow key on the right side of the add button on the add existing dialog.  The arrow will present a small context menu that allows the option of adding the file as a link, which will cause the Visual Studio project to point to that file where it is instead of copying it to the project directory.

We all want to be proud of the company we work for. It enhances our reputation, makes us look good, feel good and gives us access to the best people. The majority of us want to work for companies with glamorous reputations. If you work for one of these companies, you are probably working for them for what they can do for you. But not everybody is fortunate enough to be able to work for the outfit that is currently flavoured.
