After I presented my talk at the Emerging Companies Forum at the NASSCOM’s office in Delhi this evening, I got this interesting book as a token of appreciation. What’s special about this book is that it had a personal hand-written thank-you message from Kiran Karnik, the current president of NASSCOM.
It’s a pity I couldn’t meet up in person as he had to rush out for a meeting. But it felt good that he made it a point to write a thank you message in the book. A small task but its a nice gesture.
It’s probably the last ‘Emerging Companies Forum’ that’s held during his tenure as President. He quits office later this year.
Now about the book. I have never read a C.K.Prahalad book before… (Wonder what the IIM Kozhikode students, whom I’m going to talk to today, are going to think of me!), though I’ve heard a lot about him and had to chance to meet him in person once.
And this is not the book I would have picked up at a bookshop if I had to buy a book myself. And that’s what makes the choice of the book interesting. Now that I have the book, I’ll take the time to read through it. Maybe now, I’ll figure out why a lot of folks go ga-ga over C.K.P.

Kiruba – you have been blogging from past so many years-say from the time internet has come of age and you have said your blog is your identity and is your bread and butter, everything, say tomorrow your blog goes boom , Kiruba is gone, nobody will know that this internet entity is thier somewhere in flesh and blood. Inspite of your blog being such a important thing in your life, each of blogpost is worth nothing it is measured up by the comments people live on your blogpost.
Aamir Khan the bollywood star has recently started a blog http://www.aamirkhan.com/ (i guess to promote his new upcoming movie TZP) and with each of blog he is able to so well connect to people , no wonder there atleast a 1000 comments for each of his blogspot.
Now that is what I call power of blogging and connectivity , not your innane post which is measured its comments and not my its content.
anon above me,
most of the visitors to these kinds (www.kiruba.com) of blogs are first timers or people like me to post some funny comments.
this blog being a publicity media for kiruba, he won’t care about the comments that we (you & me) post here criticizing his blogs entries.
kiruba once upon a time he used to post some good entries. as the time progressed, he got popular and now he just rides on his popularity (not on content)that he gained long time ago. most blog readers know that very well but to attract first timers, he had to invited to the club.
he knows which card to play when it comes to publicity. that has to be appreciated.
kiruba, you rock.
Dear sir,
You promised us to write a book on blogging. Please do sir.

KIRUBA !!!!
this name will be etched in my memnory, untill the word’ blog’ exists in my vocabulary…
thanks for such a wonderful and an interesting & knowledgeable, ‘humourous’ session..at Nasscom
I thought that i would get bored and would leave in the first 15mins..but your talk got me hooked on to the meeting..and left me wanting to seek another oportunity to get to hear you once more!!!!
simply amazing…wow!!!!
p.s just if you are wondering who am i…well i am Vidhu.
hi mindbloing blog
Kiruba, Just a small correction..There will be one more Emerging Companies session on December 14th 2007 in Mr. Karnik’s tenure. He quits in the last week od December 2007.
It was good to have you talk on Business Blogging to the Delhi community.
Best Wishes.

It’s ridiculous to compare anyones blog with Aamir Khan’s. People come to Aamir only because of his star value and mass appeal. Aamir, on his part, is only trying to cash on this clout for promoting his upcoming movie(s).
Will anonymous say that Aamir Khan will be forgotten if movies are banned tomorrow?

you may read the book. But will you understand any of it?
original anony,
if you didn’t understand anything in that book, you can feel free to ask Kiruba about that.
even if kiruba didn’t understand (to be modest) the question, he can point the correct person who can solve your doubts.
so don’t be bothered whether kiruba understand or not.
Your blog looks interesting.You have lot of experience in your life.
so nice blog
It is one of the best books written by prof.CK. A masterpiece actually…
anony who answered me,
do you think he can clear doubts at 12 AM?
original anony,
12AM CST should be OKay for Kiruba to clear your doubts. Any issues with that ?
below-mentioned anony,
can we chat here?
A great book that, pity that the subprime crisis hit the stand almost as soon as the book did!
Kiruba,
Prahalad is my college professor apart from being a celebrity. after you read his book you should also read Anil Karnani’s (another of my professors) rebuttal to the book. it is interesting to get both perspectives.
I wrote a post on Prahald Vs Karnani sometime ago (in reference to a post you had made)
