Suresh do you have a preference? Chandroo, will you be able to make it? On Thu, Aug 29, 2013 at 5:28 PM, Badri Natarajan asi...@vsnl.com wrote: Not in the same area at all, but anyone for Amethyst? Unless I'm mistaken Amethyst is the one near the big mall Satyam? That place is a mighty commute considering the time of day, but yes I'd be up for that too. Yes, that's it. Whites Road, Royapettah.

Some improvements can be achieved by a sequence of locally optimal smaller improvements, but not all. Which is to say, you may not be able to hack your way to happiness. may not is not the same as will not, right? I wonder why some people are more successful at this than others. I suspect debilitating conditions like clinical depression makes it difficult for some to achieve happiness. It's probably complicated. I think, though, that a good serviceable set of beliefs and attitudes can really help a person pull herself up by the bootstraps. Something like the placebo effect for lifehacking. It works at least in part because you believe you can do it. If it doesn't work, the right attitude can help you keep trying different things until you hit on something that does work instead of giving up when you hit the first snag. -- Heather Madrone (heat...@madrone.com) http://www.sunsplinter.blogspot.com Live sweetly in bitter times.

Amethyst is actually fine but as I said I need to leave early I have evening calls that I need to attend and some have a nasty way of coming in unscheduled Cross I have to bear when I work mostly with teams on the east coast I guess :)
