Hi. If you've come here looking for the new blog of renowned blogger Johnny Tent, you've reached the correct place. If this is your first time reading something I've written, congratulations I guess. Here, you will find things about the lives of people you may not know or care about, which is true about most things you read anyway.
I attained aforementioned renown by writing more than a couple of hundred blogposts, mostly about things that happened to a few people in engineering times. They were actually pretty good, so it's too bad that you can't ever read any of it. But one shouldn't cry over spilt milk, blocked blogs, cheating spouses, etc. Except if you've insanely signed a pre-nup which somehow states cheating is cool.
Let me start by telling you I recently lost ~27 kilos in 8 months which, if you pause and reflect on the mediocrity I'm sure you're usually surrounded by, is a big deal. I'm also an IIT-IIM entrepreneur, and your reaction to that statement should be of utter amazement. If you aren't Indian, then take my word for it. Several Indian readers (especially the fat ones) might just have soiled themselves at the sheer volume of success in those two sentences. My point is that you should read this blog with the assumption that I'm an experienced winner.
This doesn't mean there aren't any other, bigger winners, of course. Younger folks are captains of sports teams of all sorts, owners of companies much larger, authors of literature more meaningful, graduates of colleges more well-known, etc. However, I must point you to the mean mediocrity around you again. Mean means average here, not twisted. I have to clarify this since a lot of you are probably mediocre at understanding mathematical expressions.
I once used to feel uncomfortable being a cocky person wrapped in a shell of political correctness and politeness, but with time I've come to see several valid reasons for the smugness and all that leaves me with is a sense of pride in the fact that I have the decency to put on a nice exterior. I can confirm and vouch for this claimed superiority because in case you decide to go out looking for a judge of the worth of human beings, you won't find many better than me anyway.
The one aspect of life where I'd suggest you look for better guides is the mystical of domain of 'which' vs 'that'. I've never really been sure of when to use which. Not in this last sentence here though, where I was sure it should be 'which'. I cannot suck completely even at this, but I do admit it's a chink in my formidable armour of primacy.
You should read this blog. I've sold myself in every interview ever, except when they asked me to solve an Operations Research equation in a business consulting interview. That was, of course, their fault and their loss. But you should read this blog and learn how to sound confident and winner-like in the face of adversity. You might read everything religiously and not learn this though, but that's probably because you're mediocre at learning too.
