2009 NSM DESTINATION
Once again the School Division is in quest for its NSM 2009 “Destination”.
We thought why not let us ask all you guys to provide your own idea of a perfect NSM Destination. Some place that is exciting, inspiring and relaxing with best of natural beauty and dream resorts. Destination, where we can get an opportunity to do our business introspection, chalk out our next corporate strategy and completely rejuvenate ourselves, before we go back to chase our organizational goals.
Let your traveling bugs and your footloose spirit take over and come out with the best destination which you ever wished to travel to……. who knows may be that’s the one we plan as our Destination for 2009 NSM…
Scribble it out ….. make it real.

Two great books
"Elements of Immunology" by Khan is a thing of beauty. One of those books you want to hold, and consider studying immunology. Congratulations to Thomas, Soma, Gargi and all the others who must have put in so much work to make this happen, including Raza who commissioned the book.
And then there's "Operating Systems" by Haldar and Aravind, a solidly put together book, one that we have been waiting for. And again, we seem to have got the production values right. And again its Thomas and Soma.
Well done to the editorial team. I think the sales team will enjoy selling these.

Wine Making
Wine-making, starts right from the selection of grapes and ends at the bottling process. Once the grapes acquire maturity, they are ready for harvesting. Maturity of the grapes is usually determined by parameters such as the level of sugar, PH level, ripeness, berry flavor, tannin development, disposition of the grapevine and weather forecasts. The level of sugar in the grapes determines the final alcohol content of the wine and is an indirect index of grape maturity.
Harvesting the same crop at different times decides the quality. The decision of time of harvesting is taken by the winemaker or trained or experienced individual who knows how to make wine the right way. Harvesting can be done manually or by using mechanical harvesters. Although mechanical harvesting is easier and faster, most premium wine makers go for manual harvesting, that is, handpicking, since mechanical harvesting is indiscriminate and more often than not, loose debris also get included.
. For obtaining red wines, the grapes are crushed by mechanical crushers to break open the skins and fermented in tanks. This is an essential step for color-extraction. For white wines, this step is bypassed and the grapes are passed directly to the presses. The wine obtains its color, tannin and flavor from the grape skins
The fermentation temperatures influence not only the speed of fermentation but also the final taste of the wine. For red wines, it is around 25-28° C, whereas for white wines it is around 15-18° C. The fermented mash is pressed to separate the juice (wine) from the grape pulp and skins, after which it is run through a couple of heat and cold stabilization processes to get rid of sediments and other precipitation crystals from the wine. The wine so obtained is then stored in oak barrels for the secondary fermentation process, commonly known as aging. This process may take from three months to a year….. The wine is judged for its appearance, fragrance, taste and after-taste. The key characteristics that a wine-taster looks for are clarity, integration, expressiveness, complexity, and connectedness…
This is what I tell my team (specially Gitesh) ,…..everytime…… they ask me for their share of Blog prize of the wine bottle….. it takes time………… if you see the process…....

NSM Theme
Hi all
I am not that firm believer of luck. Though I still believe that one should give his/her best performance and then wait for the outcome (Leave the rest to luck). So here is another idea for the NSM theme:
‘Reveal the ACE in you’
