Abacus held its annual Hari Raya open house for its partners and travel industry players today. I was invited to attend the function and it was great to finally visit the abacus office and find out a bit more about them. Abacus Distributions Systems (B) Sdn Bhd is a service provider for the travel industry specializing in travel information and reservations. Those terminals you see on your travel agents’ desks are most likely Abacus terminals which are hooked up to a central system. They make life easier for both the travel agent, and you. I wonder how ticket reservations were done by travel agents prior to the introduction of Abacus’ terminals??
I wonder what this was all about??

Simple guide to working life given by Mr. Narayana Murthy’s Speech during Mentor Session (thanks Shova for the email!):
1) Wake up, eat a good breakfast, and go to work.
2) Work hard and smart for eight or nine hours.
3) Go home.
4) Read the books/comics, watch a funny movie, dig in the dirt, play with your kids, etc.
5) Eat well and sleep well.
This is called recreating. Doing steps 1, 3, 4, and 5 enable step 2. Working regular hours and recreating daily are simple concepts. They are hard for some of us because that requires ‘personal change’. They are possible since we all have the power to choose to do them.
