This article, http://www.tonyfernandesblog.com/main.php/2011/01/04/what-do-i-look-for-in-interviewing-and-r was taken from a post by AirAsia most famous personality, Datuk Tony Fernandes and it is my greatest pleasure to share the insights of this great entrepreneur with friends and others. Quote Many asked me to write about this, so here goes. I'm not really the most conventional person in conducting interviews but I have been blessed with getting good people. What do I look for? 1) The hunger in their eyes -- the look that says they're determined to go out and prove to everyone that the world has missed them, and made a mistake doing so. 2) Looking at their present job.

The crooked bridge, as long as it is not materialised continues to bother Dr Mahathir even while holidaying in Mumbai. Below is the latest posting on his blog by the great man himself, http://chedet.co.cc/chedetblog/2011/01/mumbai-bridge.html and it is my (dis)pleasure to post his rather 'stinking' article (titled: Mumbai Bridge) in another of his futile attempt to stoke sentiments on both sides. Quote 1. I spent my annual holiday in India. After three days in Delhi I flew to Mumbai. The population of the city is 20 million spread over seven islands linked by bridges to each other and to the mainland. 2. From my window in the Taj Lands End Hotel I can see a bridge across the sea to the City Centre. 3. The bridge is curved forming a half circle from end to end.
