1. Rules
Rules. There are lots of them in this world. Everybody you meet says rules are there to be, at the very least, bent, if not broken. But very few actually do, at least the right ones - the mindless unconscious rules - rules that owe their existence to evolution or some such unconscious and foresight-less force.
Perhaps it takes wisdom, perhaps it leads tranquility...
2. New Look
I am experimenting with various new looks. Do let me know what you think of the current look.
Since this whole exercise is merely about changing the CSS, I can revert back to any previous look by replacing HTML tag! In fact, all the previous looks are available as alternate CSS's and can be displayed if your browser supports it. On Firefox /view/ -> /Page Style/ will show you available styles.
Update: I've added a menu to change the stylesheet (instantaneously).

4. Managers
Reuters reports - "Royal Nepal Airlines has apologized to Peru after mistakenly using a photo of the Inca ruins of Machu Picchu to promote tourism in Nepal. The Nepalese airline also fired an employee in the rank of a manager who was held responsible."
I can picture how the whole thing might have gone. The manager would have called an apprentice and asked him to come up with a new photograph for the poster.
A: Sir, here is a beautiful picture, we can make something like this!.
M: Hmm, yes it is beautiful, go use it and make a poster!
A: But, but Sir, this was taken in Peru!
M: Is that a new model of camera?
The rest, as they say, would have been history.
Here is a collection of a few puzzles or problems that were posed to me and I had the joy of
solving. I got them from a different variety of sources. The only common denominator of all these
problems is that I enjoyed solving them.
I plan to update this Article as and when I find problems that are interesting.
You can leave the solution or the approach to solve as a comment to this article.
"The Greedy Planet", nice title that, grabs attention. Is this going to be a rant bemoaning how the world has come to become a greedy place? No, on the contrary, this post considers the idea the world is inherently a greedy place. I am not talking about morality here, instead I am talking about the world "running" a "greedy algorithm". Sounds geekish? Bear with me for a couple of passages and I will elucidate what I mean.
7. Irony
Ad of NDTV Pollution watch:
A rusted old vehicle exhaust bellows and coughs out obnoxious fumes..
"If something is in the Air, does it have to be this?"..
more obnoixous gases..
"NDTV Pollution Watch"
"Brought to you by ONGC, Working towards a brighter tommorrow"..
This post is not about more problems and puzzles, but about a place where you can share them!
<< Trumpets blaring 
>>
I have recently installed a SMF (simple machines forum) based forum to share problems and puzzles.
Please visit: www.rajeshgoli.com/pnp/.
I hope to be able to post
some of the good ones shared over there on my homepage to reach a wider audience.
Here are a couple of management lessons or rather 'tricks that managers use to get stuff done' I learnt recently.
For the purpose of the article, let us create two entities: BOS and SOB. BOS is either a person or an entity that represents the management, in short BOS is the boss. SOB is person that works under BOS.
Now, as it happens all the time, BOS wants some amount of crappy work done, and wants SOB to do it. SOB, on the other hand, thinks he is better than that. Now lets call the crappy work CRP and the alternative or the 'good work' that SOB wants to do PRC. Let us also say ASSES is some guy who is working on PRC (good work) right now, and he'll do BOS's bidding.
I have seen that there have been a few stories floating around in biking forum that I frequent, XBHP [www.xbhp.com]. So I thought I'll try my hand at one, hence this story. A note before you start: My knowledge on a lot of subjects touched upon in this story is very limited, so it might contain factual errors, bear in mind that this is just an imaginary story.
