Cute

Really a good thing to know what, it means cuteness
to different people at diiferent times......................

Saumya speaks . she now at 2008 class of Nitie

My boss talking to his 3-year-old gir over the phonel…
“ Sweetie what are you doing?
What do I do in office?
Well I am writing BAT, RAT…that’s what I do in office everyday.”

This while typing out an extremely complicated 20 crore offer which could very well be the breakthrough order for his business.
Now this is what I call cute!

Perhaps the First Amateur TOI Victim.

TOI has perhaps, finally got it’s first amateur victim (http://o3.indiatimes.com/the_iconoclast). Reason being that his blog got him the first page publicity at TOI. And perhaps even now they are blissfully unaware of what’s happening. Now that the author has removed all his post many won’t be able to recall what was going on there. The things that pain me most are.

1. Any blogs that has TOI page link virtually becomes a battlefield. Whether it is the Pro and Anti reservation people, Muslim and Non Muslim people. Now the latest being the north and south people. Here at highlighted blogs what anyone needs is the reason to fight.

2. So called debates sure need scapegoats. Now in all probability whenever the two warring sides fight each other, they have to substantiate their claims with example. And here Comes Bihar in almost all examples cited, whether it buttress theirs claim or not. It’s like master answer that will go in any debate answers. This Sucks

3. It some times seems that (shared by some bloggers) the TOI gives that blogs spaces in theirs main page which has the possibility to ignite passions. In which there can be two poles. The main reason of this seems to increase the hit-counts and consequently the popularity of the site.

4. Some times we see the comments of the foreigners and they too look appalled. What image are we portraying to them? We are too hollow divided from within that we don’t need an outside enemy to vanquish us.

The Immediate thing that brought this to my notice was the responses the author got in his blog, mentioned above. In fact author removed everything that he wrote in his entire blog. The blog was simply about the incident of some rioting during the funeral of Dr. Rajkumar the Great Kannadiga Actor. The only thing that the author questioned was why did he add Dr. to his name when he got an Honorary Phd. Now the things were heightened by the fact that TOI had its link on its main page. Soon the fight erupted between the readers and snowballed into North Vs South.

No one was far in mudslinging and calling names in all ways possible. Many even demanded that South should be made independent. So that it can reach the developed tag soon, only because of the North they are so lagging. There were sensible comments too but they were being hijacked by the rogue elements. After all till when one can keep ones cool. The author removed his post and wrote something about it. That he didn’t like his blog being public akhara and all fighting against their fellow Indians. But it wasn’t going to stop and again the same bickering started. Finally he removed his blog completely without the provisions of commenting.

Thus Toi had its first victim. Really it pains to see the fellow brethren to fight online which gives anonymity. Hopefully, maybe as one said, because of the online thing, one can vent theirs anger, without physically injuring some one. Maybe that’s better.

Reservations Uncalled For

What does the central government wishes to do is beyond comprehension. They have proposed to add reservation of OBC in centrally funded institutions. Thus, making the total reservation, to 49.5%. Now what bothers me most is that Manmohan Singh government has done it out of the blue, when there wasn’t any demand for this. This is a total appeasement policy Reservations were meant to be abolished after 50 years of independence. Now more avenues are being searched including the reservation in private jobs as well.

Amidst this what is being expected of the general students apart from angst anguish and hatred against the people who got reservation. These politicians are hell bent on creating the rift between the persons of different categories. Now there are many people from upper caste who don’t have the means. While the benefit of reservation is going to only the people who have already availed them. Why do they need reservation when they entered a professional college and also when they need jobs? They are the multiple beneficiaries. Why not there be a policy of once in a lifetime usage of reservation. I am sure that this will help the wider populace of the reserved category people.

But then what will happen to the vote-bank of the politicians. So it’s never going to be implemented and hence so much of this. Congress was doing so well in itself and now it has done blunders for such petty gains in state elections. It’s just that one feels alien to in one own country, just because he is from upper caste. It’s much more equality in USA where I don’t think that there is such a policy. Now every bright Indian has much more opportunity in foreign land than theirs own homeland.

Maybe we aren’t getting the inner meaning of the policy right. By legislating this they wish to make more NRI’s which then bring the green bills back to their so called homeland which provided such laws that one was forced to study and work abroad.

What is life: Does one have a control over it?

I haven’t found out the answer as of now. Another question that bugged me since childhood has been that, who am I? Am I the person who owns this body or much more? Why am I doing this and not that? Maybe the questions aren’t clear to me as it was then. Ok, many people will be saying that you are being philosophical and search for a spiritual guru. May be someday I will search for him too. But as of now I wish that I had some easy lucid fast convincing answers. Just like the scientific queries. Irrefutable logics is what I am asking for now. May be I am asking too much. But then I would love to have that Brahm gyaan.

May be I am deviating from the topic title but I think that all things are interrelated if one looks closely. But the thing that inspired me to post was a simple drudgery of life. Is one life one’s own. Why that one is has to run the rat race. Why one has to even if he doesn’t want to.

I wanted a real free life away from the pressures that you should do this and not that. I wished to join some Ashram when I was young, wasn’t allowed (maybe it was right for me from my parent’s perspective). I wanted to do farming so that I don’t have to run rat race. I always imagined what a life would have been at the iron-age civilization. I know that it would have been tough to survive. Diseases epidemics, predators etc, but worth a try just imagine! Leave difficulties alone for a moment what was a life gathering food and lying just under the sun. Quite close to monkey’s lives.

I know that there is also a race of mating, food. But then I would trade sex any day with a life without strings. May be you will say that I am being an escapist. May be, I am, but then maybe not. I just want to live a life where I don’t have to prove myself every time. I want to be as natural as I am, always. Way away from external influences.

What I think that I a looking for a life in which you have no responsibilities. Be it as a father, brother, friend or son. Every time I wish to do something out of the world and have real intention in doing so. Either I am directly stopped or now being considered grown up is more often emotionally black-mailed. I think that right now it’s only my parents whom I am answerable to. And even them I am not able to break fee. Later in life the bonds will be more rigid. How will I be able to break free then? Seems that I will have to do it sooner or stop worrying on that count. I want to lead a life of anonymity. And not be judged from what I have achieved materialistically. Do not try to judge me every time. Don’t expect me to follow what all people. In short I don’t want to be conformist.

Maybe you all will be thinking that what rubbish I have written above. So be it, I can’t help it. In starting I have written the questions aren’t clear to me and so have to forget the answer. This was the closest that I could get closest to my dilemma. So if you don’t get it don’t ponder much, I am still trying to figure it out. It’s written just for the sake that whenever I re-read this post some points may get clearer, to me, in due course of time.

Orkut: I didn’t know it was such a powerful communicating medium.

With the growth of internet and facilities of two way views it has become quite an good place to debate upon. Pakistan and India have good numbers of users there roughly 2.5% of the entire public (considerably large considering that Brazil has around 70% population.

Citing the demographic percentage was for the insurance that both countries are equally represented. And as will be expected there are two main communities doing the round which is important for me as an Indian first and Hindu next.

Now what really caught my attention were the three topics which most of us are ignorant about or want to know more about it. I spent entire day in reading them. They being

1. India and Pakistan.
2. Muslims and Hindus
3. Indian Muslims and India.

I really was spell bounded by what an average person’s opinion was on the subject. There were two terrific communities which had quite a good participation (Not withstanding few assholes.). Are ……..

1. http://www.orkut.com/Community.aspx?cmm=18389 (International relations)

2. http://www.orkut.com/Community.aspx?cmm=687469 (Indian Muslims)

The above communities aren’t the usual hate groups that are in plenty. They are the most genuine and most active. Which, I will, further edit in due course of time. I shall definitely post some summary or things that influenced my outlook regarding the same.

Just one thing that I will add to here about the Muslim & Hindu populace (Indian ones) is from good socio-economic background, keeping the fact that they are using net in forums. So theirs view May not in entirety represent all the people (It will not even be 0.1% of the entire population). So the links while reading them one had to keep that in mind that they are the elitist club and not the views of entire community. Discretion is required. But for the first topic I think we can assume that it was a reasonable reflection of thoughts of the parties concerned.

Google vs Msn vs Yahoo ….. Search Engines

I won’t go into the fancy stuffs like number of pages searched or for that matter time taken for the given search. After all what will micro-seconds loss do to me!!

I will start with a general observation of mine which I felt right after I started blogging on wordpress site. Just for the sake of fun I searched my link at Google (after couple of hours). Lo and behold, the link was there in the search. Just two hours and no publicity but it was still there. So its indexing of new site generation was quite fast.

Later I started the search with Msn search but it didn’t show up. But after a day the results were there. One thing that struck me was that the results were more comprehensive than Google. So Mr. Gates pumping of money is doing some wonders.

Last coming up to another giant, Yahoo. It didn’t showed the results that day. Not even after that day. The story that the search result isn’t there now too. Seems that acquisitions of overture haven’t done much wonders. But then its search capabilities are quite recent. One thing that came from yahoo usage from previous usage is that it has huge space for indexing. It’s display of the things that are in its index are quite huge. More than the other two. May be because of redundancy.

What i best liked about google was the fast way in which it indexes new pages. I am sure that it's google only which can index the whole of net's data. At present no one has that might and will. Clearly Google is a winner. It’s search capabilities indexing are quite fast and not to mention to remove the redundancy faster too. Msn has leaped by leaps and bounds too. Yahoo isn’t that far. May be it just needs some time. Google will have to be constantly on its toes. But then why am I saying this. Google has always wowed us and delivered more than the consumer expected. Gmail is a classic example how it downed all the established email providers. The thing that yahoo couldn’t replicate in search platform.
