DNA - Money - Google’s co-founder Larry Page has an ‘eye’ on Madurai - Daily News & Analysis visited Madurai, site of Aravind Health Care clinic in India– Google.org is going to be donating to Aravind in the form of engineering time and ads. The first line of this article excited me a little bit. "For the geeks of the world, this could be an eye opener". I truly do hope that more "geeks" use their powers of geekdom to develop ways to eradicate poverty, and improve people’s lives at the bottom of the pyramid. As a sidenote, another sweet job alert: Larry Brilliant heads up Google.org– Google’s philanthropy agency. To the engineers who work at Google.org and are revamping Aravind’s portal, I salute you. How’s that for a "20%" time project? A great tidbit that I keep coming back to when I feel lost in my life (I refer to it as my quarter life crisis) is Dave Pollard’s post on pursuing his passion. The venn diagram here is a visual reminder that some of us must constantly work to find balance between What’s needed, What we’re good at, and What we love. Anyway… Larry, thank you for making the visit to Madurai and elevating awareness about Aravind’s progressive business model.
