pdhanapal (12:05:49 AM): :)
bala2pillai (12:04:11 AM): have u briefed your wife?
bala2pillai (12:04:16 AM): and found out the costs
pdhanapal (12:06:31 AM): sollunga..
bala2pillai (12:04:24 AM): when can we start?
pdhanapal (12:07:47 AM): Yes..today I briefed..She is not well for the past
2 days. She'll contact you tomorrow.
bala2pillai (12:05:29 AM): I see..ok..ask her to cc you.
pdhanapal (12:08:21 AM): Net cost will be Rs.20 per hour at PSG software
park.
bala2pillai (12:05:52 AM): so I don't have to explain and train from the
beginning.
bala2pillai (12:06:02 AM): I see..no probs.
bala2pillai (12:06:39 AM): so address the top 5 points I raised..
bala2pillai (12:06:45 AM): ask your wife to address them.
bala2pillai (12:06:54 AM): and become systematic..
pdhanapal (12:09:26 AM): ok..
bala2pillai (12:07:02 AM): so it is scaleable.
bala2pillai (12:07:10 AM): u know what "scaleable" means?
pdhanapal (12:09:43 AM): ok.
pdhanapal (12:10:18 AM): Potential of service?
bala2pillai (12:07:54 AM): No.
bala2pillai (12:08:06 AM): scaleable means you can take on more work fast.
pdhanapal (12:10:37 AM): tell me
bala2pillai (12:08:31 AM): because you have the absorption and deployment
methods like an army would.
pdhanapal (12:11:12 AM): oh..
bala2pillai (12:08:52 AM): absorption = you have price list, terms and
conditions, contract etc
bala2pillai (12:08:56 AM): ready.
pdhanapal (12:11:35 AM): ok..
bala2pillai (12:09:10 AM): that is the difference between selling fish and
selling services :-)
bala2pillai (12:09:15 AM): flow chart.
bala2pillai (12:09:26 AM): QOS expectations etc
pdhanapal (12:11:56 AM): right!
bala2pillai (12:09:34 AM): QOS = quality of service
bala2pillai (12:09:51 AM): and deployment = you know how much staff you need
for how much work..
pdhanapal (12:12:24 AM): ok
bala2pillai (12:10:06 AM): you know how long it takes to hire extra staff..
bala2pillai (12:10:13 AM): some may work from home
bala2pillai (12:10:19 AM): how long it takes to train
bala2pillai (12:10:24 AM): what training you would give them
bala2pillai (12:10:31 AM): who would supervise them in the early days.
bala2pillai (12:10:34 AM): YES :-)
bala2pillai (12:10:41 AM): that is scaleability :-)
pdhanapal (12:13:23 AM): ok.nice!
bala2pillai (12:10:59 AM): we may money by going to the top of the food
chain.
pdhanapal (12:13:31 AM): I'll do it..
bala2pillai (12:11:13 AM): by being the people who are good at finding these
people
bala2pillai (12:11:33 AM): and providing certainty -- a certain QOS
bala2pillai (12:11:45 AM): that the customer and you see eye to eye with.
bala2pillai (12:11:51 AM): through expectations management.
pdhanapal (12:14:28 AM): hmm
pdhanapal (12:14:47 AM): ....
bala2pillai (12:12:21 AM): expectations management --> you promise 1 and
deliver 2 not promise 10 and deliver 5.
pdhanapal (12:15:10 AM): sari
bala2pillai (12:12:55 AM): good opportunity.
pdhanapal (12:15:40 AM): I realise.
bala2pillai (12:13:11 AM): I have lots of work to dish out.
bala2pillai (12:13:18 AM): I can buy all that you can sell
pdhanapal (12:15:55 AM): ok..
bala2pillai (12:13:36 AM): you need to talk in finite language
bala2pillai (12:13:50 AM): for example if I were buying all the different
parts for a car..
pdhanapal (12:16:24 AM): ok
bala2pillai (12:14:04 AM): I would say I want 5000 sets..
bala2pillai (12:14:13 AM): and you should know from that...
bala2pillai (12:14:29 AM): all the 2345 different components that go into a
car..
bala2pillai (12:14:34 AM): what their specs are..
bala2pillai (12:14:41 AM): all in cut and dry language.
bala2pillai (12:14:52 AM): so there is no semantic misrepresentation.
bala2pillai (12:15:03 AM): or at it least it is minimised a lot.
pdhanapal (12:17:34 AM): i understand..
bala2pillai (12:15:19 AM): our whole biz is communications AND anxiety
control
pdhanapal (12:18:04 AM): I'll prepare an entire plan on this
bala2pillai (12:15:48 AM): so if you can train people to be like 2 year old
children..
bala2pillai (12:15:57 AM): (they have little inhibitions..
bala2pillai (12:16:06 AM): little anxiousness)
pdhanapal (12:18:48 AM): and I'll send it to you tomorrow (ofcourse, after
having discussions with my wife also.)
bala2pillai (12:16:18 AM): and they can communicate..
bala2pillai (12:16:23 AM): than we do real well.
bala2pillai (12:16:43 AM): Now here's an idea you have reignited in me..
pdhanapal (12:19:17 AM): yes..
bala2pillai (12:16:52 AM): this is what I have been wanting to do..
pdhanapal (12:19:36 AM): ok.
bala2pillai (12:17:08 AM): a syndicated Tamil Sangam newsletter
bala2pillai (12:17:16 AM): how it works is...
bala2pillai (12:17:46 AM): we build an electronic copy of a Tamil Sangam
newsletter..
pdhanapal (12:20:17 AM): tell me..
bala2pillai (12:18:14 AM): with contemporary Tamil issues and contemporary
Tamil words etc..
bala2pillai (12:18:19 AM): say it is 10 pages..
pdhanapal (12:20:57 AM): hmm..
bala2pillai (12:18:29 AM): we have 6 pages that are global material..
bala2pillai (12:18:38 AM): and then 4 pages will be local material..
pdhanapal (12:21:11 AM): ok..
bala2pillai (12:18:51 AM): and we put the right masthead for each..
bala2pillai (12:18:58 AM): eg Sydney Tamil Sangam..
bala2pillai (12:19:05 AM): Bay Area Tamil Sangam
pdhanapal (12:21:39 AM): hmm.
bala2pillai (12:19:10 AM): Bombay Tamil Sangam
bala2pillai (12:19:29 AM): and their members (as they do now)..
bala2pillai (12:19:36 AM): will contribute the last 4 pages..
bala2pillai (12:19:42 AM): all via email and YIM
bala2pillai (12:19:54 AM): and we organise an ad sales force
pdhanapal (12:22:36 AM): ok..
pdhanapal (12:22:45 AM): advt..?
bala2pillai (12:20:15 AM): and we deal with the Sangam heads -- about 50 to
100 of them
bala2pillai (12:20:26 AM): and we sell the ads...
bala2pillai (12:20:46 AM): the ads are half local and half global
bala2pillai (12:21:00 AM): local Tamil merchants in the area
bala2pillai (12:21:04 AM): and global Tamil brands
pdhanapal (12:23:35 AM): hmm..
pdhanapal (12:23:42 AM): ok.
bala2pillai (12:21:13 AM): the key thing is people read this..
bala2pillai (12:21:21 AM): cos it will have articles about their daughters..
bala2pillai (12:21:42 AM): about Tamil school in Sydney for the Sydney
reader etc.
pdhanapal (12:24:17 AM): intersting..big task!
bala2pillai (12:21:49 AM): yet it will have good qualtiy.
pdhanapal (12:24:29 AM): ok.
bala2pillai (12:22:07 AM): I know how to organise it..
bala2pillai (12:22:14 AM): I just need you to be scaleable
bala2pillai (12:22:22 AM): for me it is not big at all.
pdhanapal (12:24:57 AM): right..
bala2pillai (12:22:42 AM): it is all in scientific organisation.
pdhanapal (12:25:23 AM): hmm..
bala2pillai (12:22:53 AM): oh I have this question for you..
bala2pillai (12:23:06 AM): can you make a guess..
pdhanapal (12:25:41 AM): tell me
bala2pillai (12:23:18 AM): what the population of Tamils during the Sangam
ages would be?
bala2pillai (12:23:23 AM): 100,000 ?
pdhanapal (12:26:42 AM): I don't have exact idea .. you may be right..
bala2pillai (12:24:24 AM): I think I am near right.
bala2pillai (12:24:36 AM): I was just thinking..
bala2pillai (12:24:49 AM): see how 100,000 people could make the Tamil
language..
pdhanapal (12:27:20 AM): hmm..
bala2pillai (12:24:58 AM): and 70 million cannot maintain it?
pdhanapal (12:27:40 AM): why..?
bala2pillai (12:25:17 AM): I know the answer!! :-)
bala2pillai (12:25:32 AM): about 5 key reasons.
pdhanapal (12:28:11 AM): hmm..
bala2pillai (12:25:47 AM): first is you must perceive this...
bala2pillai (12:25:55 AM): so you can see past the illusion (maya)
pdhanapal (12:28:17 AM): tell me.
bala2pillai (12:26:08 AM): ok..imagine there are 2 canoes..
pdhanapal (12:28:42 AM): hmm..
bala2pillai (12:26:20 AM): (like boats)
bala2pillai (12:26:23 AM): rowing boats.
pdhanapal (12:28:57 AM): ok..
bala2pillai (12:26:35 AM): one of them has 40 people in it..
bala2pillai (12:26:46 AM): the other has 4 in it..
pdhanapal (12:29:18 AM): hmm.
bala2pillai (12:27:06 AM): in the boat with 40 people.. let us say 20 are
rowing North..
bala2pillai (12:27:15 AM): 18 are rowing South..
bala2pillai (12:27:20 AM): 2 are sleeping..
pdhanapal (12:29:57 AM): ok.
bala2pillai (12:27:30 AM): so most of them are very very active..
bala2pillai (12:27:46 AM): and the boat that has 4 people -- they are all
rowing North.
bala2pillai (12:27:53 AM): which boat will go North faster?
bala2pillai (12:28:06 AM): and they all see their own picture..
pdhanapal (12:30:41 AM): second one..
bala2pillai (12:28:15 AM): remember they are not birds seeing things from
the sky
pdhanapal (12:30:46 AM): with 4 people..
bala2pillai (12:28:22 AM): Yes ! :-)
bala2pillai (12:28:33 AM): organisation.
bala2pillai (12:28:44 AM): and lack of maruthal (denial)
pdhanapal (12:31:43 AM): saying 'no' at right time?
bala2pillai (12:29:19 AM): Yes.
pdhanapal (12:32:04 AM): hmm..
bala2pillai (12:29:37 AM): no - that is not what denial means.
bala2pillai (12:29:47 AM): Denial means not admitting mistakes..
bala2pillai (12:29:52 AM): finding a million excuses..
bala2pillai (12:30:02 AM): India and TN is FULL of denial.
bala2pillai (12:30:04 AM): all the time.
bala2pillai (12:30:24 AM): we must write a book on 1001 Everyday Myths
pdhanapal (12:33:03 AM): proceed..
bala2pillai (12:30:32 AM): I will provide you the material
pdhanapal (12:33:08 AM): ok.
bala2pillai (12:30:39 AM): give you an example...
bala2pillai (12:30:55 AM): somebody will say how come TN is so poor and
things are so bad etc...
bala2pillai (12:31:13 AM): and then somebody else will say..Yes..see how
good Malaysia is etc...
pdhanapal (12:33:49 AM): sollunga..
bala2pillai (12:31:20 AM): and then somebody else will rebut..
bala2pillai (12:31:42 AM): ""oh you can't compare India with 1 billion
people with Malaysia""... (this is DENIAL)
bala2pillai (12:32:07 AM): well why can't you compare? what part can you
compare and what part can't you compare?
bala2pillai (12:32:19 AM): and should you compare with the worst country or
the best country?
bala2pillai (12:32:36 AM): oh why not just compare Pondicherry with
Singapore then.
bala2pillai (12:32:46 AM): just fix Pondicherry first...
pdhanapal (12:35:25 AM): I don't believe in comparing..
bala2pillai (12:33:02 AM): and then the next contiuos place.
bala2pillai (12:33:13 AM): well - it is not a matter of whether you believe
or not..
bala2pillai (12:33:24 AM): we have to have benchmarks.
bala2pillai (12:33:40 AM): for ourselves.
bala2pillai (12:33:49 AM): eg I want to run the 100 metres in 10 secons
bala2pillai (12:33:55 AM): like that.
bala2pillai (12:34:09 AM): oh I want to build the Tanjore Temple
pdhanapal (12:36:41 AM): Comparition may be for better explanation of a
particular event or material..
pdhanapal (12:36:44 AM): ok.
bala2pillai (12:34:22 AM): so these are targets.
pdhanapal (12:37:01 AM): Nothing is identical..
pdhanapal (12:37:05 AM): ok..
bala2pillai (12:34:49 AM): but most things are not totally different either.
bala2pillai (12:35:09 AM): eg..you may say the river is never the same the
second time you cross it.
bala2pillai (12:35:22 AM): I will say "Rubbish".
pdhanapal (12:37:52 AM): right..
bala2pillai (12:35:48 AM): because "the river is MORE the same than MORE
different the second time you cross it"
bala2pillai (12:35:57 AM): If I were in the army...
bala2pillai (12:36:10 AM): and I was to choose people to go across the river
in an emergency..
bala2pillai (12:36:24 AM): I would choose those who had done it once
already..
pdhanapal (12:39:07 AM): hmm...
bala2pillai (12:36:40 AM): cos I know they would be better off..
bala2pillai (12:36:49 AM): they would know where to get onto the river..
pdhanapal (12:39:22 AM): ok..
bala2pillai (12:36:57 AM): they would know more where it is muddy
pdhanapal (12:39:32 AM): understand..
bala2pillai (12:37:07 AM): they would know more whether there are leeches..
bala2pillai (12:37:17 AM): so it is like 90% the same...
bala2pillai (12:37:21 AM): and 10% different.
bala2pillai (12:37:31 AM): so when you say "it is never the same"..
bala2pillai (12:37:45 AM): you are highlighting the 10% and suppressing the
90%.
bala2pillai (12:37:54 AM): you are making the exception the rule...
bala2pillai (12:37:58 AM): and the rule the exception.
bala2pillai (12:38:03 AM): and that is not accurate.
bala2pillai (12:38:13 AM): and when you are not accurate in perception and
communcation...
bala2pillai (12:38:21 AM): you make the wrong decision!
bala2pillai (12:38:31 AM): and increase the chances of a wrong outcome!
bala2pillai (12:38:33 AM): :-)
pdhanapal (12:41:04 AM): Limitations in human expressions..?
bala2pillai (12:38:53 AM): yes..but there is something deeper..
bala2pillai (12:39:01 AM): in the sangam ages..
bala2pillai (12:39:09 AM): we were very Saivite..
bala2pillai (12:39:17 AM): Saivites are very yin-yang.
bala2pillai (12:39:22 AM): do u know what yin-yang is?
bala2pillai (12:39:25 AM): zen.
pdhanapal (12:42:04 AM): yes..
bala2pillai (12:39:50 AM): ok..but for the last 1000 years and maybe more..
bala2pillai (12:39:57 AM): we have become very neo-Vedic
bala2pillai (12:40:07 AM): which is Semitic.
bala2pillai (12:40:21 AM): and Semitics are very "if not black it must be
white"
bala2pillai (12:40:26 AM): binary.
bala2pillai (12:40:31 AM): God and Devil
bala2pillai (12:40:47 AM): not good and bad are two sides of the same coin.
pdhanapal (12:43:36 AM): yes..
pdhanapal (12:43:55 AM): There are lot of in between lines..
bala2pillai (12:41:24 AM): so it is not just language..(it is this too very
much)
bala2pillai (12:41:31 AM): it is even more perception.
bala2pillai (12:41:38 AM): how you see things..
bala2pillai (12:41:50 AM): remember you see things more with your brains
than with your eyes.
pdhanapal (12:44:24 AM): hmm...
bala2pillai (12:42:10 AM): because you see what you want to see and store
what you want to store.
pdhanapal (12:44:57 AM): hmmm..
bala2pillai (12:42:31 AM): yes a bit deep for YIM :-)
pdhanapal (12:45:12 AM): :)
bala2pillai (12:42:48 AM): but it would be a best seller book..
pdhanapal (12:45:29 AM): ok..
bala2pillai (12:43:00 AM): if written in the style..
bala2pillai (12:43:21 AM): of Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond.
bala2pillai (12:43:39 AM): or Harry Potter.
bala2pillai (12:43:52 AM): story telling style with suspense and intrigue.
pdhanapal (12:46:33 AM): hmm...
bala2pillai (12:44:03 AM): and humour in the simplest language.
pdhanapal (12:46:44 AM): right..
bala2pillai (12:44:26 AM): abstracts peppered with instances (examples)
bala2pillai (12:44:44 AM): ok I have talked enough :-)
bala2pillai (12:45:00 AM): print this out and study it :-)
pdhanapal (12:47:44 AM): yes..
pdhanapal (12:47:51 AM): I'll do that!
bala2pillai (12:45:30 AM): and there you are another idea...
bala2pillai (12:45:35 AM): there are lots of people..
pdhanapal (12:48:08 AM): send me your material..
bala2pillai (12:45:43 AM): Tamils who want to write books...
bala2pillai (12:45:48 AM): but who will never do it...
bala2pillai (12:46:04 AM): so if you develop a style (and I can show you
how)..
bala2pillai (12:46:10 AM): to ask questions over YIM...
bala2pillai (12:46:13 AM): and they answer it...
pdhanapal (12:48:58 AM): ok..
bala2pillai (12:46:28 AM): and after a few sessions you have enough material
to put in into a book..
bala2pillai (12:46:41 AM): you can put their book together for a fee!
bala2pillai (12:46:58 AM): people will find it much easier to answer your
questions..
bala2pillai (12:47:07 AM): and give in bits a book..
pdhanapal (12:49:50 AM): hmmm...
bala2pillai (12:47:20 AM): than sit down and write the whole book
themselves.
pdhanapal (12:50:07 AM): right...
bala2pillai (12:47:56 AM): Once the mind starts ticking there are so many
innovative ways of providing value which is = making money.
bala2pillai (12:48:14 AM): most want to write books for ego.
pdhanapal (12:50:50 AM): correct.
bala2pillai (12:48:20 AM): Not for making money from their books.
bala2pillai (12:48:31 AM): so if they know you will help them publish it..
bala2pillai (12:48:38 AM): and they are a doctor or a lawyer..
bala2pillai (12:48:41 AM): or whatver..
pdhanapal (12:51:20 AM): ok..
bala2pillai (12:48:53 AM): and they can make more money doing their thing..
bala2pillai (12:48:56 AM): they are short of time.
bala2pillai (12:49:02 AM): so you take care of that.
bala2pillai (12:49:03 AM): see?
pdhanapal (12:51:45 AM): yes...
bala2pillai (12:49:30 AM): so these and lots of jobs will be created when we
work together and get you to be scaleable.
bala2pillai (12:49:34 AM): think army.
pdhanapal (12:52:14 AM): ok.
bala2pillai (12:49:47 AM): think a bunch of soldiers.
bala2pillai (12:49:58 AM): that you command
bala2pillai (12:50:11 AM): who work behind PCs.
pdhanapal (12:52:47 AM): Organise!
bala2pillai (12:50:17 AM): and who are good in language.
bala2pillai (12:50:20 AM): Yes! :-)
bala2pillai (12:50:39 AM): and so drop the pichakaaran buthi.
bala2pillai (12:50:48 AM): meaning don't be pennywise.
bala2pillai (12:51:00 AM): because you cannot be a General..
bala2pillai (12:51:09 AM): if you have a soldier's mind.
pdhanapal (12:53:49 AM): yes..
bala2pillai (12:51:24 AM): everytime you must say...what is the alternative.
bala2pillai (12:51:30 AM): If someone says it is expensive..
bala2pillai (12:51:45 AM): you must say "what is the cost of NOT spending
that money"?
pdhanapal (12:54:25 AM): Self initiative and responsibility..!
bala2pillai (12:52:04 AM): does it mean I can only be a soldier? If so, I
don't want that.
bala2pillai (12:52:14 AM): you see..just remember..
bala2pillai (12:52:23 AM): you cannot catch a fish without putting out a
bait.
bala2pillai (12:52:35 AM): so don''t focus on the cost of the bait.
pdhanapal (12:55:13 AM): No.. Ireplied for your earlier responses..
bala2pillai (12:52:55 AM): focus on the how much bigger the value of the
fish is..
bala2pillai (12:53:05 AM): compared to the cost of the bait..
bala2pillai (12:53:14 AM): (yes you did)
bala2pillai (12:53:24 AM): and calculate expected values.
pdhanapal (12:55:55 AM): hmmm..
bala2pillai (12:53:41 AM): did you do mathemetics in high school?
pdhanapal (12:56:20 AM): ok
pdhanapal (12:56:23 AM): yes.
bala2pillai (12:54:03 AM): do u know what "expected value" means?
bala2pillai (12:54:13 AM): mathemetical concept.
pdhanapal (12:57:10 AM): pre fixed value..?
bala2pillai (12:54:44 AM): No.
pdhanapal (12:57:22 AM): I'm not clear..
bala2pillai (12:54:54 AM): if you have a math book go find it.
bala2pillai (12:54:59 AM): it is an equation
pdhanapal (12:58:15 AM): ok. equal to some other variables..
bala2pillai (12:55:47 AM): eg if there is a 30% chance of you making 1000,
40% chance of you making 4000, and 30% chance of you losing 10,000..than you
can work out the expected value of the opportunity to be...
pdhanapal (12:58:21 AM): ?
pdhanapal (12:58:25 AM): :)
bala2pillai (12:56:31 AM): have u seen this type of a problem before?
pdhanapal (12:59:11 AM): no.
bala2pillai (12:57:29 AM): EV = .3 X 1000 + .4 X 4000 + .3 X 10,000
bala2pillai (12:58:01 AM): in this situation the EV = 300+1600 - 3000
= -1100.
bala2pillai (12:58:13 AM): so this opportunity is not worth going for...
bala2pillai (12:58:37 AM): unless you can reduce the 30% likelihood of a
10,000 loss.
bala2pillai (12:58:45 AM): do you get the picture some?
pdhanapal (01:01:23 AM): yes..
pdhanapal (01:01:33 AM): get it!
bala2pillai (12:59:07 AM): you sure?
bala2pillai (12:59:32 AM): you see..you can do this for your CD project...
pdhanapal (01:02:08 AM): yes.
bala2pillai (12:59:45 AM): you can estimate/forecast scenarios..
bala2pillai (12:59:55 AM): worst case scenario.
bala2pillai (01:00:01 AM): best case scenario
pdhanapal (01:02:36 AM): yes..
bala2pillai (01:00:10 AM): medium case scenario..
pdhanapal (01:02:53 AM): hmm..
bala2pillai (01:00:23 AM): and you can attach a probability, a chance to
each
bala2pillai (01:00:35 AM): and never mind if you are wrong.
pdhanapal (01:03:10 AM): risk factors..
bala2pillai (01:00:46 AM): because better to be wrong than not to do it at
all..
bala2pillai (01:00:57 AM): and in time you will get better and better at
estimating.
bala2pillai (01:01:00 AM): if you do it.
pdhanapal (01:03:26 AM): ok.
bala2pillai (01:01:03 AM): yes.
pdhanapal (01:03:40 AM): yes..
bala2pillai (01:01:21 AM): and then after a while..you will know..
bala2pillai (01:01:29 AM): and you should get paid just for doing this.
pdhanapal (01:04:13 AM): This is 7.35 here..
bala2pillai (01:01:44 AM): somebody else can do the mundane work of content
and developmnet..
pdhanapal (01:04:22 AM): ok
bala2pillai (01:01:53 AM): but you become the architect
bala2pillai (01:01:57 AM): the top mind
