Look there for future posts....

I was reading its page: iTalk - Griffin Technology: and in the list of Top 5 uses of iTalk, Griffin Technology sneaks in this very funny one. Ofcourse, that sure is one way to use it, (and even I might use it that way), but is still funny:

This article:

Benefit of Team Work: Sam Pitroda

may seem trivial, but I now think that it consists of excellent practical wisdom; and something that I have experienced in my recent time in the US.

It is a must read for Indians. (and especially Indians in the US will be able to appreciate it completely.)

It is no unknown fact, that immigrants and their kids do very well in the US.

Immigrants' Kids: Nation's Brainy Superstars

I think, somehow the "work-hard" ethic (remanant of adverse societal conditions back in their home countries) combined with the richness and individual opportunity of the United States (which is now more in a have-fun and self-express ethic) results in a winning combination.
