Extremity is the way of life... "Want More" is the call of the day...
Life has been changed a lot... that's what i feel in the last few years and more felt when i got into the the IT industry.Life is full of competition, the level is very extreme. From the day, the child is born,he or she is straight away put up into the game. Success or Failure cannot be judged at a moment, as it is a journey and not a destination. The day the child learns to speak, the child is put up in the school for the pre KG course at the tender age of 2 or so.The way the education is taught is really horrible.(In simple words, Indian education is useless. It doesnot focus on CREATIVITY and CHARACTER BULIDING. The two important things, that are most needed in life.)School Education is really bad and i urge people to find schools that impart the above two things. Parents put pressure on the children to get more marks but spent little time on telling them how to learn.Its a prestige for parents, to see that their children get good marks. Children attend Tution classes from morning 4 to night 10. But does this actually, improve the student?. The answer is simple. Its useless. Might be that the student will get good marks, but still how does that it help him in moulding his career.
No doubts,Indians have or in the process of dominating the entire IT industry. But the real buzz is "How many have reached the top?". We are like donkeys, working for someone's pride but we have to be lions who make the laws in jungle.
One advice for parents.. Please spend a lot more time with your kids.. and let and allow them to be creative. Its adds a real value to their life. But these things are needed for average people. I really get inspired by these people and it increases my energy level who have all the difficulties and come up in life. Dr Kalam who dreamt about by seeing kites, Lance Armstrong ( The man who won 7 tour de france in cycling, that too consective) after being diagonsed for cancer, Stephen Hawkins (the scientist who can't move, but still the best), Wright Brothers ( who made the invention of aircrafts after seeing an article in newspaper that it will take another 1000 years to bulid one such one, But it took only another 7 days to disprove the theory) and the more interesting for IT people, the most people who have dominated the IT world are drop outs (likes of Bill gates, google twins,... and the list is endless). The best example is Stephen Spielberg, the man who created lot of movies,... but did not complete his course on "Direction of movies". (Its more emphasis on learning things,.. Experience).
Lets see the education system in US where the schooling starts after the age of 5 only. Lot of efforts are put in improve the creativity and the character buliding stuffs. Many politicians and others go to US and other developed countries very frequently, but they don't break these good things,only bringing back things that spoil the culture and traditions.
Your views on these are always welcome. Be it positive or negative.Looking to write more if i get more time.

Welcome to my blog and my first blog....

Technology changes everyday. New inventions and Discoveries are made very second. Its a great privilege to live in a great era of computers (Probably its the revolution that will be remembered in history on par with the Industrial Revolution which took place in the 17th and 18th century).

I always get inspired by great thoughts and quotes. One such is "Lets not read History and Let us be part of history". But I am not sure whether i can make it.

Out of college and into a big company SAP Labs (where I intended or dreamt to be in some time of my life).

God is always testing me. God has given me all good things as well as bad things. I don't criticize him. The thing is i am made to learn more in my life. (Experience is the only way to learn more in life). I always feel i am learning new everyday in life.

Computers, I am starting to love and date every 24/7. Technologies and people who work on this amuses me.

Cricket is another thing thats interests me. (Particularly Dravid, I don't know why.. may be character and dedication to the game). Prove with what you have.

With all wishes from the god, hope i have a great start and come up something useful thats helps the whole community and me (By sharing the ideas).

Let Us Rock.
