Hyderabad meri jaan

Reproducing a Hindi poem by my wife, Rolly. I edited the poem a little bit. Not bad for a first attempt:

हैदराबाद का है कुछ अलग अंदाज़
इस शहर ने पहना है मोतियों का ताज
जहां नुक्कड़ कि दुकान पर बैठा है चाचा करीम
लोग जहां आते खाने सेंवई और हलीम
यहाँ के समोसों कि बात है निराली
बस साथ में हो अगर ईरानी चाय, एक प्याली

गोलकोंडा फोर्ट का अंदाज़ है कुछ निराला
समय कि धूल ने जिसे कर दिया है काला
मगर फिर भी उसमे है कुछ बात
जगमगा उठता है जब हो जाये रात
कहता है अपनी ही ज़ुबानी
सदियों पुरानी अपनी कहानी

Offshoring Creative Services - Strategies for setting up robust offshore operations

The Creative Services offshoring outsourcing in India does not enjoy the kind of distinction as do the other traditional segments of the BPO/KPO industry. As such, it is invariably slotted into the BPO segment, and is subject to cookie-cutter methodology borrowed from the BPO best practices which might lead to frustrating results. This article makes a case for an approach which is pertinent to creative services operations, while admitting the importance of best-practice adoption from elsewhere.
