Where are we heading towards?

We are experiencing a change in every day or minute that we are spending in this world in terms of living style or in terms of inventions like technologies or Science. If you think 15 to 20 years back in our life the issues or the problems were very less compare to now though the ratio of fixing the problem or issues now a days is high. But at the same time the problems or issues are growing in multiplication/permutation combination. To be frank every day we are loosing something which was good in the past. There is definitely a threshold for us and there will be end to this world.

For example 15 years back mobile phones were rare to see and I didn’t even hears of it at that time. It’s superb achievement in terms of technology but now think about every common man’s life. It’s like a cancer and we cannot stop it, most of them may be 90% of the people have lost their piece except those who are putting some “kadalai” even they are loosing without knowing it. Think about the environmental pollution by every invention.

I’m just wondering what if the CHANGE becomes variable or in other words what if there are no inventions. As of now we are just having one earth, and we are having lots of problems in that starting from neighborhood to Country border issue. Who knows??? there might be other milky way which is similar to ours and the people in their earth might be well advanced than us or may be they might be living the happy life what we had 100 years or 50 years back. I’ve just red a news which says that the ISRO has found a new bacteria’s in space which is about 20 to 40 km above from earth. Still there are no conclusions how did they come to space, whether it’s from Aliens or in some other format.

It may sound silly, but this is my wish. Stop all the inventions and think that what ever we are having now is the most updated or latest and try to save the earth by solving all the current issues and problems and then start our inventions back. Don’t say to stop the issues we have to invent something then it will continue like how it is now.

 

Get together

I guess it’s an easy word to write it in paper but it’s really difficult to implement that too when everybody have their won commitments. It was always get together when we were studying in college whether it’s ooty or Bangalore and whether it’s at midnight or 3 in the morning it was always implemented whether it’s plan A or B. We never thought about skipping the get together but now it’s just the opposite we never able to make a get together and even I make it to  few it’s always with one or two people. Why is it so? Does every one is completely committed with their work or we are just thinking we have lot’s of high priority work than meeting people and relax ourselves. Didn’t we had any important work when we were doing our college??? Still i could remember that when I was studying in second year the next day is a semester exam but we roamed like hell at that time.

At last I am thinking we should have project plan and a project manager to implement this. What do you say???

 

IT experience …

Today one of my colleague was saying that, when our experience is increasing and our responsibility also getting increased and the job is really getting tougher and tougher every day. Is it so? 

I am accepting that the responsibility is increasing every day but does the job is getting tougher every day or it’s just our mentality of thinking that the work is getting tougher?

Why do I have a doubt like this?

When I joined as a fresher whatever I learn in my office was very new to me and i always had the feeling that I am learning lot and I was very keen of learn new things. Now after four years still in the same technology and doing the same thing using some new version of it and also trying to do it little bit faster. Since I am in development it’s always be like this and I am feeling that whether i have lost the interest of learning or I don’t have much time to do.

So is this the reason that we are thinking that the job getting tougher every day?

But people are telling that it’s getting tougher and it will get tougher if your experience ticks every day … what do you say? :)

Haircut in US

One of the worst things one can experience in US is “The Haircut”. I don’t know whether it’s because of the reason these people are holding the degree on this? Who cares and what ever it is, we all know that the barbers here are not that good when we compared to the barbers who are in Tamil Nadu (Only place in India where I used to do my haircut). Most barbers in India are not having any degree but they know how to satisfy the customer by changing their style to what they like. But here we can’t ask for the one (Normal haircut nothing fancy) which you wanted and even if you ask for something normal then it will end up something fancy and people will laugh at you at the end. Till my last month haircut I was thinking at least the hairs are being reduced even if it’s not looking good but last week he has cut my ear instead of my hair. Would you believe it ??? I don’t know who gave him the degree to cut the customers ear instead of cutting the hair. I felt the pain, he apologized and I was compromised since I couldn’t see any blood. But after I came out of the shop I asked my friend to check and he said it’s bleeding since it was on my back side of my ear I couldn’t see when he was cutting. Thank god it was not that big or else just think for a moment of loosing a part of my ear. I would have looked like an Alien because my ear is already big and if something is gone then definitely it would have been very noticeable. The money that they are getting for one hair cut is more than the amount which I used to spend in India for a whole year. Ok, I understand that the cost of living is high here but who is ready to loose their ear instead of their hair and it’s really hard for an Indian to get satisfaction when he comes out of the barber shop in US. I was telling this story to one my friend and he said it happened to him too.. I realized that there are lots of people who are in the barber shop who doesn’t know how to cut the hair but know how to cut the customers ear. From next time onwards I will be scared to go for haircut similar to the behavior I had when my father used to take me to saloon when I was a kid, except that my father is not here to tell if something goes wrong.

Academy winner AR Rahman!!!

First of all congrats to AR Rahman for winning the Oscar awards and he is the only person who got two awards in this 81st academy award. My heartily congratulations to Resul Pokkuty and the way he dedicated the award to our country. It’s really a great achievement and the way I am looking at this award is an eye opener for the world cinema saying that people in India are capable of doing anything. But I am little bit worried by the way some of the Indians are behaving regarding the Slum Dog Millionaire. The reason behind is this movie portrays the poor part of Mumbai city and people are thinking that because of this movie the west is thinking that India is poor and corrupted country. I am certainly disagree with this point since I am staying in a US and most of the normal US citizen’s whom I meet in a day to day life have told me that this is the best movie that they have seen. It’s not because of the reason it depicts the poor and corruption it’s because of the hope, and the interest that showed to understand the other culture. I am sure that the people who watched the movie here are fully involved in each and every scene and everybody wants the Jamal (Hero of the movie) to win the million bucks and the feel inside the theater was similar like“sachin hitting the six at the last ball to make India win”. Nobody has asked me that whether the whole India is like this because they knew that Indian’s are all over the world and the movie depicts one small part of country and in addition to that they knew that their own people who are suffering by poor in their own country. They were clear that the problem which was shown in this movie is not only exists in India which exists all over the world. 

I agree with most of my friends and people who are saying that if an Indian directed or produced this movie whether it would have been nominated for Oscar. I guess it may not but I believe that after these Oscars (nine Oscars which are based on Indian story) the world is looking at us and they will appreciate our work and I feel that this movie was the exposure to the whole world saying that we are also competing with Hollywood. Yes we do have enough talent and we will get more and more Oscars in the coming years. Finally I am really happy that the Smile Pinki has won the best Documentary and I am really happy that because of this movie Pinki got surgery for cleft-lip. These kinds of films are making awareness across our country even across world and it should be very much appreciated. 

After all the movie was based on a novel return by an Indian Vikas Swarup. So Please understand that no one from England came here to “show that India is bad or corrupted country” in a movie. Once again I really congratulate the award winners and I wish it will open the door for the Indian movies from the next academy award. I also wish if Danny Boyle can take a movie which shows the real glory of India of which none of the other countries have in the world then it will be great and he will be praised by the people who are criticizing him now. 

I wish Indian movie should win the best foreign category movie in the next academy award. This post is completely my personal opinion.
