A note on this blog, a part clarification.

This blog is named OtherWise, just because in this world, each one is pre-judged to be a fool. Yes, there is a prejudice that all people are dumb, except unless they are hailed as leaders or a topnotch public personalities (except of course the one national obsession Pappu).

I wish to clarify that this blog is neither based on nor inspired by by Mrs. Sudha Murthy’s book, Wise and Otherwise. It is just a coincidence. This clarification is to ensure that someone doesn’t come running to me one day and claim damages. I have the highest regard and respect (having met her briefly twice and working closely with Infy folks on various Public utility projects), with the work that the Foundation does and the dedication that they display.

But now, I would like to quote a few lines from the same book, which applies to one and all including Mrs S herself:

Achievement is the product of many factors and not of hard work alone. One requires the right opportunity, the right people to work with and the right timing. Maybe there is an element of luck too.
