Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

A GAME CHANGER HAS ARRIVED


Is there a job in Neighbourhood  ?

-----------------------------------

It seems, Google just launched in Mumbai , a mobile app called “ Neighbourly
For details , read :

The new app lets users ask questions like if there is a garage nearby, good haircut places and the mom and pop store (kirana) where you get a particular herb in the locality



Now this opens up a great opportunity for those “ mom and pop “ stores

Not only to sell their products / services but also to announce the vacancies ( jobs ) that they might want filled , only with “ local jobseekers “ , who can work 10 hours per day ( since , they don’t need to spend 2 hours on local trains , to / from  home - work place )


Having already launched “ Google Job Search “ , this extension to “ Neighbourly “ will pose no problem for Google


In a city like Mumbai , even those who are already employed , would be happy to accept a 10 % cut in their monthly salary , if they can get an “ equivalent “ job in the neighbourhood , and save 2 hours of daily commute !


I am glad that after waiting for 13 years , Google is finally appreciating what I offered to its then Country Manager , Shri Ashish Kashyap , in my letter dated Dec  31 , 2005



I have no idea if Shri Kashyap ever got to read my letter , but I am hoping Shri Sundar Pichai [ CEO – Google ] , found time to read my following e mail :
