It is 3:00am in Shanghai and I am wide awake…jet lagged.
Last week our Bangalore office did 73,000 euros.
In the past 3 weeks our Bangalore office has sold over 300,000 euros – I am certain that none of our competitors have an office in indian that is as professionally run as naseba has — Saleem and his team are doing [...]

Peerless: having no equals; unsurpassed.
The American swimming Olympic trials just finished last night…. although 99% of the readers of this blog most probably have no interest in swimming, I want to point out something….
