Natarajan Chandrasekaran popularly known as N Chandra has taken the top thrown at TCS from his predecessor Subramaniam Ramadorai who lead the company from 1999.When Chandra became the COO last year signals were sent out for his succession for the top post.If Ramadorai can be termed as the one who created this large enterprise it was Chandra who took TCS global and brought more agility in its operations. Chandra always had control of all the Business Units and it was his decision to venture TCS into different geographies.Chandra's striong Customer focus initiatives and ability to win large deals was critical for TCS's growth in the recent past.The man behind the $500mn Citi group BPO deal and acquisition of the UK based pearl group knows that the company has to move from its linear model of revenue growth.
Chandra would try to make the operations more lean and agile by making more leadership positions which might play a key role in decision making within the individual business units.Given its massive size with 1.5 lakh employees and a strong customer base , Chandra would like to improve the profit margins and Win deals in the space where the global heavy weights like IBM,HP and Accenture are dominant.
Wishing him all the best to take TCS to further heights !!!

Problems For Dhoni
With the Aussies taking the lead and the series away from India plenty of questions lie in front of the Indian team on the reasons for the failure and possibly the way they approached this series.Many would have thought that Dhoni's men would steal the series comfortably with the fact that this Aussie squad was the one of the least strong one to travel India.On the other hand Indians going with full Batting strength and decent bowling attacking managed only to win couple of matches and loosing twice as many along with the series.
It was a collective failure from the Indian squad which didn't capitalize on the early lead and was inconsistent in its batting.Every other batsmen from the Indian team had good scores in each of the matches but the collective effort for building partnerships and finishing the match was missing.Though it lost by narrow margin on the fifth ODI chasing 350 the team has to blame itself for the kind of temperament it showed after the departure of Sachin who was masterful as ever.Indian bowling attack seemed pretty ordinary against the Aussie line up which was not the best.Harbhajan's form with the Ball was not exiting and Nehra after returning to the team after quite a while needs some time to get back to the form.
With the series against the Lankan's starting next week one would wish Dhoni to solve the mysteries in the Indian bowling lineup.The Srilankan batting lineup is consistent with players who are used to the wickets of the sub continent.Expecting the returns of Dravid,Lakshman and Zaheer ,still the Indian top order would need to fire.Shewag and Gambhir would like batting together again at the top with Gambhir expecting to continue with his dream run.Dhoni will still require the little maestro Sachin to take his form from the ODI series with the middle order likely to get further boost with the return of Lakshman.Getting the right combination for the first test would be crucial for Dhoni.
Now the Pressure is back on Dhoni's men to win the final ODI for consolation and start the test series on a positive note.

Rain Rain Go Away
If you ask one thing which was in the mind of chennaites for the past 3 days it was" When this Rain will Stop??" ,though it was a delayed monsoon this year it was as strong as in the past.Tough for people commuting specially in MTC Bus and Two wheelers,there was a lot of difference this time as most parts of the city had decent drainage, water logging was less when compared to what we have seen in the recent pasts.This time entire tamilnadu received rains which may last up to next crop for the farmers.
But still given the fact that we have lot many problems in rain ,people have got used to it and its up to the government to constantly improve the infrastructure required to support these natural goods.
