It’s the Year of Broadband in India and Frank Hanzlik, MD of the Wi-Fi Alliance, wants Wi-Fi to rise above the din created by WiMax (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) and 3G and get its due place with the new 802.11n standard that quadruples the speed of this wireless technology.

12 ways to catch lady luck’s eye

1. Pay attention to your surroundings; you won’t spot good luck unless you look for it.

2. Strike up conversations with strangers. You might meet the love of your life or make an important business contact.

3. After you meet someone interesting, follow up with a note or phone call.

4. Stay relaxed, even in pressure situations; it’ll help you be more aware.

5. Vary your routine every day. Walk on the other side of the street or try a new lunch spot.

6. Be aggressive about making changes you want. Still thinking about moving across the country? Just go.

7. Follow your hunches and gut feelings; many seemingly random occurrences are actually the result of good subconscious decisions.

8. Treat nagging doubts as alarm bells; they’re often right, even if you can’t pinpoint the exact reason.

9. Expect good fortune; if you think something’s going to happen, you’ll be more likely to spot it when it does.

10. Believe in lucky charms. A rabbit’s foot doesn’t have special powers, but the confidence it gives you is very powerful.

11. Smile. People will smile back and suddenly you’re off to a good start.

12. Outlast bad luck; often a negative turn of events creates unexpected opportunities for good results.
