Chickens are coming home to roost at for-profit schools whose shares are publicly traded. For the last several weeks, the stocks have been week. Last week the stocks have take a turn for the worse. Today Strayer University was down as much as 15% . The impetus for this downfall is a report from the […]
It looks like every Telugu entertainment channel (including TORi) are promoting voting for Sriram as the next Indian idol. I just informed TORi team to change the campaign to “don’t forget to vote for Sriram – if and only if you believe that Sriram is the best.” If you don’t believe in the product – […]

In an article today, Times of India featured Telugu flavored radios that are not based in India. TORi was covered. While I question the claims made by some operators, this article is an interesting read – at least for me. Turn up the radio: Time to bond by Padmini Copporapu Increasing Number Of Radio Stations […]
One of my passionate topics, which I often discuss on this blog is the fleecing of students by for-profit higher education institutions. Whenever I see news like this, I feel angry and hurt. I can certainly hope that the likes of University of Phoenix are shut down for good – sooner, rather than later. This […]
Thank you to all those of you that expressed concern with regards to my safety. I would to take this opportunity to clarify some of the distortions that have been put out by several media houses in the last 24 hours. I have been working on getting my book translated for over 3 months and […]

Spineless leaders of major political parties played into the hands of TRS rhetoric and handed them a victory. All this proved only the obvious – people […]

We are excited to come here (Away from our country) and study and then initially miss our family and later we decide to stay? Money, comfort versus family, friends, relatives and hometown and our own nationality. Does one realize the […]
What are the top 10 best colleges work for? I don’t know about them. I love my job and my employer (even though they didn’t give me a rise in 3 years). Though it is large — more than 30,000 students and nearly 3,000 faculty — the Chronicle of Higher Education reports that employees at […]
I am extremely happy that summer is here, but sad that it is so quickly coming to an end. Living through the cold, somewhat dreary midwestern winter has given me a new appreciation for warmth and sunshine. I grew up in Colorado, where there was never any shortage of sunshine, and I always took it […]
Here are the links to the TV interviews we have done a few weeks ago. Studio N interview conducted by Ramesh Garu is by far the most comprehensive interview I have done on TV. Of all the TV anchors that interviewed me, Ramesh Garu was the only one that read my book and you will […]
This time in Connecticut. I feel sad, someone needs to tell the kids to be careful. Sometimes it happens no matter how protective you can be, like that Indian scientist who was killed in his “Safe Neighborhood”. I really feel bad in my stomach. Read the news via eenadu.net

You think the world owes you bazillion dollars because you are: a) very smart, and b) you have an MBA in finance, may be from Wharton, or Harvard or Columbia and therefore what you do must be good. You claim that your financial “innovations” help the […]
A number of you have asked for the details of APNRI’s meeting with the Srikrishna Committee and the Governor of Andhra Pradesh; so, here you go. We’ve arrived in Hyderabad early in the morning on 15th June. Srinivas garu went to Hyderabad a couple of weeks earlier. He booked a room at a local club […]
