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?"

With regards,

TYPING OUT MY HANDWRITTEN COMMENTS IN BOOK MARGINS

 Sanjivani,

 

 

This refers to our telecom

 

I would like to get my ( handwritten ) comments ( in 200 + books in our library ) typed out

 

One example of the FORMATTING of such comments can be seen at :

 

https://myblogepage.blogspot.com/2017/06/recruitment-expert-system-design.html

 

Then , this morning I tried to “ dictate “ such comments to Google Docs, using the mike which we bought last week

 

But corrections took me nearly ONE HOUR  ! I got too tired  !  See example of formatting below

 

May be accuracy might improve as I “ dictate “ more and more but it could take me many months

 

Pl inquire if we can outsource this typing to someone who can do this from home

Dialogue with Authors

 

When I read any book, I scribble my comments / notes in the margins

These reflect my views / opinions about what the author is saying – including my disagreement

Often, my comments are in the nature of telling myself :

Hey ! We should try out this idea in our own business ( Head-hunting / Online Recruitment )

Following are my comments re :

The Click Moment  /  Frans Johansson  /  09 - 19 Jan , 2013

========================================

Page 2

 2 days back I pitched to Professor Rahul Deshmukh  of IIT Bombay and to Shuklendu, idea of enabling users of IIT Bombay, version of My Jobs , to exchange jobs amongst their contacts

 It may be crazy but it could click

On December 13 2012 ,  I requested Principal Damahe of LTIT To fix up a meeting with someone at IIT Bombay connected with Aakash Tablet project.  He fixed meeting with Professor Deshmukh on December 15, where I carried 4 printouts of a letter addressed to Professor Pathak,  to incorporate My Jobs on Akash

Deshmukh proposed a non-commercial virgin, using our site resources and database.  I agreed. Let us  wait and watch what comes out

In my case , maybe such a moment was realisation that  no amount  of  promotional emailing can popularize My Jobs.  Maybe the best way was to persuade the tablet manufacturers to pre -load My Jobs on tablets before dispatch

That made me write  an email to  Sales@datawind.com

Two more reminders still no response

In third mail, I urged  the recipient to forward it to Suneet Tuli - CEO . It clicked. Suneet responded positively.

 I think that was March 2011

But  it was only around March 2012 that the first batch of Aakash tablets arrived and failed

 Akash 2 came out around November 2012

But Suneet could preload My Jobs only on the the commercial version UbiSlate - not on Akash Tablets being delivered to IIT Bombay

But because of Datawind, I could convince Swipe Telecom and Teracom to do likewise

Some more are likely to agree

But biggest breakthrough  could well be IIT- Bombay proposal
