Europe set to enjoy imported solar power in 5 years

Europe set to enjoy imported solar power in 5 years

By Naren Ubi on June 23, 2010

Every country has a growth plan to meet or sustain its energy needs. Europe invests in energy generated from renewable sources, instead of blaming developing nations for the depletion of fossil fuel and increasing green house gases. In the latest environment-friendly initiative, hundreds of megawatts of electricity will be generated across the sunlight-rich Sahara desert, [...]

Philips – Nonsense and Complexity

By Naren Ubi on February 19, 2010

Do you think Philips’ tag line ‘Sense and Simplicity’ stands true in India? Well, NO! Philips’ product strategy in India: Bring a bull-crap product made in China Brand it with Philips Sell in India, and Leave all the spare parts far, far away!

Picturesque Azhiyar – Pollachi, Coimbatore

By Naren Ubi on November 25, 2009

Azhiyar (or Aliyar) – a destination I never came across until my maiden visit in 2007. Not sure if many people in Tamil Nadu are aware of this beautiful place, near Coimbatore, surrounded by green-carpet hills caressing the clouds. A few pics from this heaven..

Google’s initiative to solve the vehicular traffic problem – Crowdsourcing at work!

Google’s initiative to solve the vehicular traffic problem – Crowdsourcing at work!

By Naren Ubi on August 28, 2009

Getting stuck in rush hour traffic, and one swearing at not able to get to work on time has become a routine – thanks to the ever increasing number of vehicles on road, and the ever diminishing civic and common sense of the people driving them. I’m sure most of us have no clue as [...]

By Naren Ubi on July 17, 2009

Just take a look at the ad for Trueroots – a online calling card company by TATA. It will definitely put a smile on your face. I don’t know who directed this ad..lemme know if you know the name of the director and the ad company.

Michael Jackson’s memorial service costs $1.4 million!

By Naren Ubi on July 9, 2009

Event management plays a crucial role for any mega-event – be it private or public. MJ’s memorial service, which was by far a private event, but attended by thousands of MJ-fans, cost the city of Los Angeles $1.4 million. Of course, the Americans will not compromise for shoddy security arrangements, which resulted in the deployment [...]

Racism in developed countries – who’s to be blamed?

Racism in developed countries – who’s to be blamed?

By Naren Ubi on June 13, 2009

Who’s to be blamed? Well, we all play the blame game right from our childhood days. Trust me, we are good at it! When I left for Germany, a few years ago for my graduate studies, I heard a lot of negative comments about being a foreigner in Germany. Many of my friends, well wishers [...]

Recession-wave – BMWs and Mercs make good business in India!

Recession-wave – BMWs and Mercs make good business in India!

By Naren Ubi on February 27, 2009

Sounds paradoxical!?! I was casually browsing through this MSN news, and this one locked my eyes: BMW sold 270 cars and sports utility vehicles (SUV) or three times the total number of cars sold by Mercedes Benz, which stood at 89 units in January. Well, though the news is about BMW overtaking Merc’s business in [...]
