Harmony at Work Interview on Bloomberg-UTV

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

On Thursday, 3 December, Dharmaraj appeared on Rashmi Bansal’s TV programme “Stay Hungry: Cracking Careers with Rashmi”. The show airs on business channel Bloomberg UTV.

Here is the video. The following is transcript of the unabridged interview. It has been edited slightly for clarity.

Hi Dharmaraj. First of all, what is ‘Harmony at Work’? What is this program all about?

Hi Rashmi. Thank you for having me here with you. Harmony at Work offers stress management, personal productivity, and leadership training for corporates. We take our hats off to all you corporates because the pace is grueling and we’re running at top speed just trying to keep up with you.

We base our offerings on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, who wrote Autobiography of a Yogi. His teachings have been applied to daily life by his direct disciple, Swami Kriyananda. One course that Kriyananda wrote is called Success and Happiness through Yoga Principles—that’s our training manual.

Success, happiness, and harmony are things that everybody wants. There are so many powerful techniques that we can practice to achieve these. (more…)

Leap In and Try Things: Interview with Brian Kernighan

Referred to as "K&R"

Brian Kernighan (pronounced ker-ni-han), Professor of Computer Science at Princeton University,  co-authored The C Programming Language, which has sold millions of copies and has been translated into 27 languages.

C is one of the most popular computer programming languages, and it has influenced nearly all languages in use today, including C++, C#, Java, Javascript, Perl, PHP, and Python.

Before becoming a full-time professor at Princeton, you had a long and brilliant career at AT&T Bell Labs. But let’s go back further. Can you tell us about your childhood and early interests?

Professor Brian Kernighan

I was born in Canada and grew up in and around Toronto.  My father was a chemical engineer, which gave me a bit of exposure to some kinds of science and engineering.  I went to the University of Toronto in a program called “Engineering Physics”, which was meant for students who were pretty good in math and science but didn’t have any idea what they wanted to do.  It was extremely tough because there was a heavy workload and a lot of material — academically, I don’t think I have ever worked as hard since.  But it was a very good foundation for all kinds of later studies, and of course the experience of just working hard full time was good (though painful at the time).  I didn’t really encounter computers until I was nearly done with my undergrad education, but when I did first start to play with computers, I found them great fun, and of course still do.

From Rashmi Bansal, author Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish, and Founder/Editor, JAM Magazine:

I think the biggest issue I see with young people today is that they have taken this whole thing of “I’ll get into the right college” as the end of their ambition. They try very hard, and they struggle, and they get into the college of their dreams like an IIT or IIM or whatever. Or, on the other hand, they don’t get into the college of their dreams. Either way, they don’t see that that’s just the first point. That’s the steppingstone for their whole life. (more…)
