1 .The PSU banking industry is going to face a large scale retirement and there will be a significant knowledge loss from the work force by end 2010.The current retraining, increasing productivity, recruitment processes are not enough for addressing this huge knowledge issue. What can KM processes do to help the bank?
2. The real estate sector has made the leap from horizontal to vertical living space.The people who dwell there are prime candidates to form communities around the needs, interests and concerns that they have. You may not know your neighbour but you will trust him more than you do a stranger on the street, because end of the day he will return to be your neighbour. Trust is not default but a level of it can be assumed in such setting.How can current IM and SM tools help collaboration within this setting catering to different identities and support it background processes and create a lively community?
3. The innovation capacity of educational institutions are usually high and with more than 500000 engineers passing out from the colleges, what are we doing about continuity of knowledge/project/innovation started by one batch to the next as well as having a deep engagement with industry. What can open innovation, open content platforms do to help the country?

Learning TM
It was a pleasure to learn Transcendental Meditation of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi from Lane Wagger. The guru bhakti (devotion), dedication to help the seeker, coupled with clear concept delivery were awesome.
The way Lane oriented people to practice and shared some excellent analogies (must have been refined over the years) was really good. I distinctly remember the analogy of dyeing a white cloth in yellow to explain the cumulative effect of TM.All in all great and I have been practicing it once a day as against the recommended 2 per day schedule, but clearly see changes in how people respond and relate to me.
I highly recomend Lane to any Corporate if you are serious about TM. Right most on first row is Lane.

Here are a few points from Lane for the practitioners
1. Remember to start your TM with half a minute sitting easily, and end the meditation with 2-3 minutes of silence.
2. If you feel sleepy during TM, that is OK. Sleep comes during meditation if there is some tiredness in the body. We never force ourselves to stay alert in order to continue thinking the mantra. If sleep comes, we let it come. Just remember to meditate for another 5 to 10 minutes after waking up.
3. We do not give any importance to the meaning of thoughts during TM. Thoughts are just the by-product of the release of stress. When a thought comes during TM, we don't feel bad, we just easily return to the mantra.
4. If you feel you are too busy to do your TM, then don't do it for yourself, do it for the sake of world peace.
