The Blogs of a true Gemini.
"Up to a point a man's life is shaped by environment, heredity, and movements and changes in the world about him. Then there comes a time when it lies within his grasp to shape the clay of his life into the sort of thing he wishes to be. Only the weak blame parents, their race, their times, lack of good fortune, or the quirks of fate. Everyone has it within his power to say, 'This I am today, that I will be tomorrow' " - Louis L'Amour

A Gemini and a twin, hence the site's name, twin-gemini. An interesting thing is, the Zodiac sign Gemini, itself is the sign of twins. {Born in Madras, India.} {Schooling at Hindu Sr. Secondary School, Triplicane, Madras and then at Adyar, Madras.} {Sri Venkateswara Engg.

Mr. Narayanan and IBH
Yes, pretty interesting. I really liked the way the CEO talked so confidently about the ways things are changing.
I have blog rolled you..hope u dont mind!
IBH
Thank you, I already have you in my links.
thats a good one mate.. danks.
Can't help but agree with Narayanan's comment. I receive newsletters from the NYT and boy, do I look out for Thomas Freidman's articles there? He is really good! :)
After hearing so many good words about Freidman, I have subscribed to NYTimes' email newsletter. Thanks to all for the recommendations!
Latest reports say that tech salaries in India (in Infy, TCS etc) are increasing by 15% every year. Although the East is gaining prominence, the cost advantage may no longer be there.
There is no doubt that the Indian software companies are doing great. And being an ex-employee of Infosys, I can definitely say that the company has state-of-the-art equipment, and also provides a great working atmosphere, and is definitely at par with companies in western countries. We have a great talent pool back home.
There has to be a big thrust from the government and an overall attitude change. (easier said than done I guess) But, I am sure the software companies will continue to do great.

Freidman appeared on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart sometime this past month promoting this book, and said pretty much the same..
Here's a video link..

Hope your (knee, was it) is fine.
And i did read the artice a while ago.
It was quite an interesting read.
Goes to prove the extents of Globalization!!!.
Go East, young man :-)

Yes, India is coming onto its own (shall we say full circle?)

So, thats indicating a role-reversal, which would mean pretty soon we should see a large influx of foreigners into India - this is already happenning in small amounts (like the dreamy email forwards which go around every now and then).
Vidya,
We outsourcing some of our work to China is also an indication of that.
Daph,
Thanks for the link. Will watch it right after I am done watching Chandrmukhi :-)
Satosphere,
Yes, now I am slowly getting back to normal.
The article is quite thought provoking too, this should slowly lead to a lot of indegeneous startups, that will take the market in the right direction.
Thennavan,
Well Said!
