How was your 2011?
Another year is rolling by. How did it go for you? Were you able
to accomplish all your goals and resolutions? Don't feel bad about
if you have not accomplished 100% of what you set out for. As communicated
before
(Dec 2010, Editor's desk) only 1 in 10 (or 12%) achieve 100% of
their resolutions. Just carry over your incomplete tasks to the
next year. But don't forget to publish your goals or have a detail
action plan. By this way, you can increase the probability of accomplishing
those next year.
It has been a tremendous year for theIndusNetwork.
We raced towards half-a-million-shy hits
for this year. Thank you for forwarding and recommending to your
social network. Our goal is to educate, entertain and enrich you
every month. Keep reading and sending us your feedback.
2011 saw the economy stuttering from
continent to continent. Various countries have approved strict austerity
measures to the dislike of common people. While governments are
mulling over an increase in tax, the business is looking for ways
to increase the price of services and products.
The social network is really gaining
momentum as a virtual world. The social network were instrumental
in "Arab Spring", "Occupy Wall Street" and helped
in pushing back the debit card fees and DVD rental price increase.
While there are good benefits with social network, there are also
new problems with this features. An Australian mom was arrested
this year trying to sell her kids on eBay and a Dutch women's You
tube's video became viral when she uploaded a video containing her
facebook friends tattooed to her hand. Read the Surfboard thought
in this issue - There are no more secrets in your life - to understand
the danger we are facing to our privacy.
2011 also had its share of natural disasters.
A magnititude of 9 on Richter scale earthquake rocked Japan's coast
with a worst Tsunami. US east coast experienced earth quake after
more than 100 years. Glad it did not result in major disaster. However,
Irene will stand out for threatening the entire east coast.
On the sports front, Japan won the Soccer
world cup beating the #1 team - US. India won its cricket world
cup after 23+ years. St. Louis Cardinals stunned the world by winning
the World Series and Bruins took the Stanley cup after a see-saw
battle. Formula 1 sports car race has now opened a shop in the most
populous place - India. Appears to be a good business move!

Alien LEGO man?
|
"A
giant man made with lego pieces washed ashore a Florida
beach in October this year. The lego had a writing "No
real than you are" which made everyone curious.
Did this come from the sky? Is Lego is popular in other
planets too? Or is this a marketing gimmick by Lego
themselves?
LEGO
group flatly refused any connection with the incident
and the local sheriff's office rightly took the toy
into their custoday.
The
puzzle finally got resolved when they searched for the
name "Ego Leonard" which was inscribed on
its back. He is a Dutch artist and maintains a website
to sell his products and he has been using this as a
marketing plan to promote his products. This alien man
also washed ashore in England and Holland.
