Sarsij speaks.....

Hi all......Happy Diwali!

Well is it Deepawali or Diwali? Ever since childhood I have been taught that it's Deepawali but when I grew up I started getting the greeting messages which used to say 'Happy Diwali'......can anyone explain the difference between these two (if at all there is any difference0.

Well, Diwali is a symbol of truth winning over the evil........but present crisis in India questions this festival......Firstly, the series of blasts in Delhi.......taking hundreds of lives and Secondly, just 46% turn-out in Bihar elections send some serious signals to us......that we are still surrounded by evil ...... and it would again need someone like Lord Ram to fight these evils. Just to remind you, We all have a Ram within us.....what is required is just the awakening of that Ram within us.

While the scene in the Hospitals of Delhi is getting worse not only because of the Bomb-blast vistims but also because the Hospitals are working inadequately........they don't have sufficient facilities to treat the patients. And the relatives who are visting the hospitals in serach of their missing relatives makes the scene look as if there is again a India-Pakistan partition time. I have heard so many stories of Partition, and I am just reminded of those stories. Officials don't have proper communication system.....they don't have proper data.......everything looks like a mess!!!

Well, I have always emphasised on the need of some Crisis-Management system......and now I feel that it's not only required instead it has become a necessity in present times.....Policy makers will have to consider this sooner or later. My suggestion is that why not include  'Crisis Management' in the curriculum......this may take some time to get fully functional, but the investment made in this would reward us with rich returns. Policy makers may take IT industry as an example.......IT industries have taken up Crisis Mangament as an essential part of their working philosophy......so why can't other sectors too learn this lesson.

Well, thats all from me today.......From Diwali to Crisis-Management.......thats how my thoughts keep meandering.

Any, Take care and enjoy Diwali (or Deepawali).......be smiling and safe.

bye!

Since I am a person from Electronics, so whenever I think of technology the first thing which comes to my mind is Moore's Law.......which said that Every 10 years the indutry will see the doubling of the speed of its components and almost double the number of electronics components in the same area. And now the world has even defied Moore's Law, and its pace is so fast that not even 6 months are enough to double up the speed and decrease the size of the components.

But at the same time I am reminded of a great saying, 'Fast.....Cheap....Robust.....choose any two', I am not sure whether this statement was given in context of Technology or something else. But whatever field we wish to choose we shall never find an anamoly to this law......and to me it feels that it has become an universal fact, as of now.

Lets take an example.....the present industry, say software........have we ever come across a software application which claims to be robust......and still cheap.......here cheap may be taken as cheap in terms of memory requirements. In electronics, have you come across any gadget which claims to be cheap....fast and reliable at the same point of time?

Hey reader's I would love to hear from you, if you have any contradiction to this law.

Plz do write.

bye!

Hi all.....Remember, what I wrote a few weeks back.....that how India could become a threat to other economies provided some innovative enterprenuership gets involved in it.

Here is what I would like to call as the 'Herlading the New Economy for BRIC nations'. As indicatd by Mr Nandan Nilekani of Infosys in one of his latest interviews. (For your information,BRIC nations....include Brazil, Russia, India and China.)

Here is what he has to say about his Business Model and threats:

Read it here http://in.rediff.com/money/2005/oct/15infy.htm

I am sure you would love to read what this proactive manager has to say with respect to the Future of World Economy, and his confidence when he talks about the Future of our economy. In a way he also has shown a lot of confidence and a promsing future for us. Hats off to you and your vision Mr. Nilekani.

Hi all...I am attaching an article from TIME asia magazine, this is an interview of Nathuram Godse's Brother, who was also a partner in his endevour to kill Gandhi (whether wrong or right). He is not at all regretful of what they had planned and delivered.

I just want that you should read it, and think it before passing on the judgement.

May be, you too will feel that 'Gandhi' was just a hype created by the Congress Party....and they buried the facts and real-issues of the Nation. They had certain motives to achieve and thus they tried to achieve all those motives using his name, and also they didn't leave even a single stone unturned in publicizing his name like heroes.......like Gandhi going for a fast....Gandhi going for a 'maun-vrata' ..... all this was just to gain sympathy from the masses. Why didn't they publicize the hanging of Bhagat Singh in the same way? Probably thats what Indian Politics is all about. Make someone the hero of the nation, and then use his name to meet your personal motives. This has been done in the past, and by now it has become a ritual of all the parties.

Eversince it's inception, the Indian Democracy has been defunct and corrupt, and what gives these politicians even more courage is the sympathatic approach of the masses, and the literacy levels. Kudos to politicians.....you people really know how to Fool, but just one suggestion......better, get down to business or least start writing books on strategy making etc etc.....you will gain even more. May be, even you too will achieve the status of Gandhi someday....or at least after you die.

Well, I am waiting for the feedback from you all, after you read this article.

Whats the worst thing you can expect if you are standing in a queue.....in a bank, or at ticket counter....or somewhere else. The tickets get sold-out, or the office timings get over before your turn comes. Today it happened with me, yet again. I was standing in a bank queue and the working hours of the person sitting at the counter got over, and there was no one to take charge after this person....my bad luck. But at that point of time just one thing came to my mind, and that was Murphy's Law. Only god knows why it happens with me again and again. But then no one is to be blamed....I should have been prepared for this. Next time I will be on time.

In the mean time I would like to bring to your notice that one of my old blogs (regarding Nathuram Godse's defence speech in the court) has been read by hundreds of people by now, and as I wanted a debate on this fact which has been mutilated by the historians...has achieved it's purpose. Thank you people.

But what is more important here is that you guys should accept this as just a fact, instead of getting emotional about the issue that whether Gandhi should be called Father of the Nationa or not, or whether he should be Mahatma or not. What Nathuram Godse did was his way of fighting against the injustice. For that matter, why Forget Bhagat Singh, Ramprasad Bismil etc etc. Britishers called them terrorists (including the majority of Indians). But now the times have changed, and we Indians have so many things to fight against, population, poverty .....the list is endless, so we may drop this discussion and concentrate on how to fight these current issues. Gandhi or Subhash Chandra Bose or Bhagat Singh could become big because they fighted the current problems of their times, and gave a new direction to the society.....we again need some leaders like them......do we have the same will to fight the current issues, and give a new direction to the society.

Hope to hear from you soon.

(When I am writing all this I am on a leave from my work, getting treated in a reputed hospital of India....and whenever I visit the doctor I can see India in it's true colours.....people lying everywhere on the floor not even being attended....all those people could be potential contributors to this society, and they all have so much with-in, to contribute in their own capacities and in their specific domains.......but for them life right now has condensed to just hope that they will be here in this world even tomorrow, living......are we so incapable that we can't even turn their most basic hope (or I would like to call it a basic right of everyone) into a reality. )

Think over it.....Most of us are fighting over issues that are somehow or the other not so relevent today. Come, lets unite and make things better, and only we can do it for ourselves.

Hope to hear from you all!
