P-camp in Bangalore by Yahoo

I was planning to write about P-camp since the day I attended one.On 23rd Oct Yahoo organized a P-camp in Bangalore which was second of its kinds in India..before I go further telling my experience of that P-camp..let me first explain what is a P-camp.P camp is abbreviation for Product camp and is in the spirit of a barcamp but caters to ideas revolving around Product and Product Management and Marketing.At a product camp there are no attendees as everyone participates in some manner:presenting,discussing,sharing their past experiences and volunteering.

At Yahoo Bangalore the P-camp started with opening remarks from Director of Yahoo Entrepreneurship Network and Vice president of Yahoo.In all there were 4 remarkable sessions,2 pre-lunch sessions and 2 post lunch sessions and each session having 3 tracks.

Sessions attended by me :-
1.Product Management and Innovation in Startups by Sunil Maheshwari, CEO, Mango Technologies.
2.Deriving success through Innovation and Corporate Entrepreneurship by Harsha Mutt, Headstart Ventures.

3.Product Positioning by Anuradha Shridharan,Product manager,Cleartrip.
4.Want to become a product manager and don't know where to start? by Pinkesh Shah

Session 2 and session 4 were awesome,the kinda of direction obtained through discussions and presentations on Entrepreneurship and on product management were worth every minute spend.Networking with people and knowing their past experiences and the innovation they are bringing to their products was enriching. All in all well spend Saturday in a networking event which focused on Product management and marketing.

A man who thinks he can

Another poem by Walter D. Wintle which is very motivating and peps me up when I am in my low gloomy days :)

If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you'd like to win but you think you can't,
It's almost a cinch you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you're lost,
For out of the world we find
Success begins with a fellow's will -
It's all in the state of mind.

If you think you're outclassed, you are;
You've got to think high to rise;
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.

Life's battle doesn't always go
To stronger or faster men;
But sooner or later the man who wins,
Is the one who thinks he can.

-- Walter D. Wintle

I guess mood swings are part of life but a constant effort should be put in to shake the comfort level to reduce the gloomy days.
The reason this post comes today(wednesday) is I am pepped up and my usual cheerful self after fighting 2 bad days.The week started really bad with an accident ,then home front and commuting was completely haywire with maid and cooks on off(how dependant we r on them..Gosh..!!!),car gone for repair,no time for workout :everything was depressing but I fought all that gloominess today morning by getting up early followed by a good 40 mins workout.I was able to reduce that time duration of low mood....!!!!

Walk and Talk Workout

Since the time I have moved to Bangalore I enjoy my jogs and walks.The weather of the city is so awesome that you don't feel like talking at home or in an enclosed area.Believe me whenever I get a call and I know that the conversation will go on for long I just lock my door and hit the road for a walk.
This certainly helps me in maintaining weight if not loosing it.

Walk and Talk concept from idea surely works in this city :) :D

"Only girl in the world"

I heard this latest song from Rihana(Only girl in the world) today morning while jogging on FM 91.9 and have been humming it throughtout the day.

This song surely rocks..I love the techno beat..peeps..!! :D :D

Don't Quit

This poem "Don't quit" from an unknown author is one of my fav

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
