A, B, C, D...

Army, blood, curfew & death!

The sheer magnitude of this so-called struggle for survival is so very large that it is engulfing almost everything.

This on-going devastation in the cloak of survival, peace or security is actually destroying most innocent lives. More than 2 million children have died & 12 million have been physically disabled or injured during the last decade due to these on-going wars. From Israel, Palestine to Yugoslavia & Sierra Leone, all these countries have not only used youngsters for wars, many more have become unwanted victims of crossfire. In Palestine alone, about 119 children have been killed directly & more than 700 due to the uprising. These ruinous wars not only leave children injured, orphaned & homeless, but also vulnerable to illness transmitted through unclean & poisonous environment, exacerbated food & water quality. This is complimented with psycho-social turmoil. War in essence gets over but the remnants linger in the premature minds of the hapless children. Almost any rational, would agree that these most innocent lives should be spared from these acts of violence. But such loft y proposals remain confined in the commission reports & seminars only while execution remains impractical. The reality however is far different.

With such a powerful adversary to contend with, does Lenovo even stand a chance to topple the number one?

A first look at the Lenovo office in Bengaluru shows a refreshingLenovo change from the serious image of IBM. The colour white (complete anti-thesis to the IBM obsession for black computers) dominates in the entire setting, and posters of the celebrity siblings & brand endorsers Saif & Soha Ali Khan adorn the walls. Ask Neeraj Sharma the key to Lenovo’s strategic objectives, and his answer is innovation. He feels Lenovo is one of the typical instances of Thomas Friedman’s ‘fl at world’, as the company is successfully leveraging engineering talent across the world. Three research labs in the US, Japan & China form the heart and soul of Lenovo’s R&D. The American lab works on Think vantage technologies, the Japanese lab for notebook innovations, while the Chinese lab is focused on desktop engineering. This is termed as the ‘innovation triangle’ of Lenovo. And an innovation centre in Mumbai has also come up recently to add to this list.
