கவிதை trial continues...
ஏன் வெகு தொலைவில் இருக்கின்றோம்,
நீயும் நானும்,
ஒரு நொடி ஆகிறதே,
இதழ் நனைக்க!!!
கண்ணீரும் பிடித்தது இன்று,
துடைப்பது உன் இதழ்கள் என்ற போது...
நீயும் நானும்,
ஒரு நொடி ஆகிறதே,
இதழ் நனைக்க!!!
கண்ணீரும் பிடித்தது இன்று,
துடைப்பது உன் இதழ்கள் என்ற போது...

கவிதை சொல்ல ஆசை வந்தது (I really dont know whether its a கவிதை)
நீ
என் பிம்பத்தை நேரில் பார்த்தேன்,
என்னை நானே காதலிக்க ஆரம்பித்துவிட்டேன், நீ
கடல் காதல்
அவள் கரையில் நிற்க,
கடல் காதல் சொல்ல, ஆலையும் வந்தது,
அவள் நிலவு என்றது,
வந்த அலையோ திரும்பவில்லை,
அலை உன் பாதம் தோட நான் விரும்பவில்லை,
கடல்மேல் போர்தொடுக்க, நான் நினைக்க,
நீ என்ன கரம் தோட,
புரிந்துகொண்ட அலையின் உயிர்ரூ பிரிந்தது,
புரியாத கடல்லோ அனுப்பிகொண்டே உள்ளது இன்னும் ஆலையை
மழை
நீயுன் காதல் சொல்ல
மண்ணில் மழை வந்தது
கடலில் அலை நின்றது
கடலும் அழுதது மழை வழியே !
உன்னைக் கண்டபோது
களவு கொடுக்க ஆசை வந்தது
தொலைவது இதயம் என்றபோது !
களவாட ஆசை வந்தது
உன்னைக் கண்டபோது !
காத்திருப்பது மாலை மட்டுமல்ல
குறுகிய சாலை,
குளிரில்லா மாலை,
அடர்த்தி இல்லா மல்லிகை மாலை
உன் கூந்தல் ஏறி மோட்சம் பெற
இன்னும் எத்தனை மாலை?
தவறா
நிலவு நானா நேரில் கண்டேன்,
நினைவை மயக்கும் சிரிப்பை கண்டேன்,
உயிர் உருகும் விழியை கண்டேன்,
சொர்க்கம் ஒன்றை நேரில் கண்டேன்,
தவறா ?,
நித்தம் நித்தம் வேண்டும் என்றேன்!!

c-l-o-n-e-m-e
Why can’t I have a clone?
When we have so many passion, so many interest, so many wishes, so much to perform why I cant "I clone myself", when I can’t let others to pursue my interest; A frequent thought which ponder in me. I wish I were a doctor when some close friend/relative is in hospital, I wish I were a classical singer when I witness margzhali magha utsavam, I wish I were a policeman when I see gutless person working as a policeman, I wish I were a politician when I see visionless politicians.
What to do… I just ponder in thought, c-l-o-n-e-m-e.

Localization !!!
This had been a long weekend in Coimbatore with family, friends, lots of IPL (Indian to International premier league) and hot election campaigns. The last one made me think a bit. This election is to decide the fate of the nation for another 5 years, even though we know, what will ultimately happen, nothing really happens! With many NGOs’ campaigning for, the nation of the billion to vote at least, a half. That’s a very good sign.
Hmmm… the central point for this topic that I want to discuss is about the state of politics as such. For convince, I have taken Tamil Nadu, but I guess you can take any state, the current scenario might be the same. What has happened, what’s happening now? Little bit of history… (Take a tortoise mat, keep it parallel, gap not more than 1 foot, and rotate it in anti-clockwise direction)
In 60’s the Dravidian party raise in power with the language war as the main theme, creating a separate identity as a state (in general in N-India (out of TN), who ever doesn’t speak Hindi is a Tamilian or a foreigner), sending the congress party out of power once for all.[Lots and lots of controversy involved, I may not be correct too…But I feel it has benefited the people of the state.] This creation of identity in 60’s was only based on language and feel of Dravidian. The parties had clear agenda and vision for the state as whole. I call this phase of 60’s as localization I.
The second phase started in end of 80’s to mid of 90’s with congress having lots of flavor like ice cream within the party (its parties, oops!!!), even the same case with the Dravidian parties and the raise of small caste based parties into power. This phase had not impacted much; they have done their best to splitting the vote.
The current political scenario is pathetic (no better word). Thanks to new born caste based parties in this millennium, which have worsen the situation. Lots of new caste based parties, the old communal parties are having good hold on their vote banks, and this is the third localization. Each and every caste have their own party and own candidate, being lined up for the war 09. In future, we might have a hung constituency where, with few candidates’ support one candidate will be selected; too much localization (hmm...may be “coalition localization”)
Note:
1. I have not considered communist into consideration, since they are global party …

Full sleeper
Amazing, isnt it! Just thought about the Aricent training days, when professor Rao told “Indians are best known for compression, in a bus of 50 we travel around 200, we are 4 times better in compression than any other country. When I booked my ticket from Coimbatore to Bangalore in a travels, I asked for semi sleeper seat, but they offered a full sleeper which is cheaper than that of semi sleeper. I was surprised and asked for any hidden charges but they replied, “Nothing as such sir”. But even nothing sounded fishy, since no where I got a seat I accepted it with a smile. As I boarded the bus, the cleaner (mini driver or asst driver, when driver sleeps he takes care of drivers’ sleep ;)) pointed a finger to the roof in the bus, I thought he is pointed me to keep my luggage, but, finally I understood he asked me to board on the top! (Close to a space like air conditioner duct). Oofff, full sleeper! Even with that stunner I was happy that the bed was sufficient enough for me to roll and had space for luggage. I wondered how they identified this as a potential space, thanks to Prof. Rao who made it easy for me to understand. The cleaner stuck again with a stunner, showing another man the same bed. This was unexpected. Ohh god, I have to share my bed with a stranger, that too a guy (too much of a thought). I was expecting that the guy should not snore, should not roll, should not talk in phone, I expected him to sleep like a ___ on the bed without disturbing. But, that nice guy got in, started talking in phone in a language which I can’t map, that’s good for me as I always slept in fans’ noise, it sounded the same. In minutes he kept the phone and slept in seconds. Thanks god, he didn’t disturb me at all, me too.

Human Catastrophe
Election Day, a must holiday, didn’t vote since I have my electoral card in my native city waiting for my chance to vote. Anyways, that’s not the topic I want to write, its politics! I got up for the day with a message from my friend. The message goes like this,
“Our Prime Minister Mr. Singh when met France prime-minister he discussed about the Sikhs issue about turban*, which is a religious sentiment. But, why he is not meeting Mr. Rajapaksa (pardon me for that Mr., I have to maintain my dignity) to discuss about the Tamilian issue, a human catastrophe. Is the religious sentiment more that human life?”
I was puzzled with this message and started wondering about it. Its so coincidence that the same day, its bandh in Tamilnadu. I know that it’s a liberation group working for a separate Tamil Eelam, with a gun in their hands. I don’t comment on the method of struggle or their ideology. I always wondered what else can be done. To check with history, it was ruled by British, another British touch (they touched badly). It was ruled as a separate state for each of the two different ethnic groups, namely the Sinhala and Tamilian. The post independence is a mess-up history which everyone knows. I had few queries concerning this issue.
1. Why the police of the state, the Americans are silent in this issue. For news media, Secretary of state just sent a message “we condemn this massacre”. Why they didn’t force any action against this human catastrophe. I wonder if Srilanka would have had some amount of crude oil this issue would have been solved by the international community, but they just have tea.
2. The united (sleeping) organization, the UN is just became a dummy organization (like our president, thanks to Mr. Kalam, who had back-bone), works as a re-transmitter centre for American voice. I do appreciate that many other NGO and humanity organization are helping the people in need. But the powerful, resourceful UN keeps shut for most of the issue, like Palestine, Pakistan etc. I feel it always works for the rich nations. Do we really need such an organization? Let’s hope, UN to work in full force in days to come.
3. In the name of srilankan-tamilian issue, the election campaigns are set. This is not a political issue! It’s about million people’s life in that tiny island. Please stop this speeches do some thing useful, send food, medication, drugs and people, help the island rather that just talking. The politician should stop treating this as an election issue.
4. Why to blame external ministry/minister he can’t even get some information from Pakistan in the 26/11 attack even though the whole world knows it was done by Pakistan based terrorist group. He is just a spokes person goes to media and says, “international community is watching Pakistan they need to act now”. Its bullshit, just giving statement, now he is working for his own Lok Shaba seat. Don’t blame there is no point. Another interesting point to note, he (external affairs ministry) can’t even get something done from Srilanka (a small island, economically, politically, arms vice), will he be able to do something done from Pakistan, I don’t think so.
Think, nothing can be done from our side (India); we can send some medicine (from govt. hospital), food, some money (if something left in the treasury, since we have literally waived everything for the past 5 years).
Lets pray that, they all should survive and have better living in the coming years. Else born in a peaceful world, in next birth may be some other planet, else may be not, humans.
May their souls rest in Peace
Note: * - I don’t know much about the turban issue, may be its related to helmet, like in Canada.

Leeches and the Cleaner
It’s been a sad week, all over the world media hovering around Mumbai. It’s ‘a Wednesday’ that I hope to happened but happened with a total script change. “Condolences for all the suffering and suffered families. Salute to the Brave hearts”. It’s been a regular scene in Mumbai, suffering since1992. Government whom we appointed for keeping the law and order are busing blaming each other. Find a television camera make politically sellable story and get the publicity. The useless channels go behind the “controversy” rather than news. Consistently, inconsistent intelligence network, news sharing between agencies. But after all the events the Intelligence Bureau’s consistent statement “we have cautioned the state authorities”.
After all, I appoint a cleaner to clean the house, but that bloody-guy is not cleaning, but make my house a play ground for all the nasty games, Will you keep your mouth shut ? But I do, because I used to it, rather we all used to it. I am ashamed by the assault made by leaches. So, what I do ?. I think for two days, discuss with whom ever I find, write a frustrating article, mail it to all and sleep nicely, like a helpless ass. I decide not to go behind the leaches since I am unable to handle the pest and go to Mumbai and help the NSG. But I can even do that with out the pest. Yes, I have to screw my cleaner (bloody servant), and make him clean my home back like the plain-old-clean house full of jasmines and lotus. Here the scenario is quite different, lot of cleaners, lot of owners but only one house. Scenario might be different but our aim is the same, to clean the house.
So, put your concise effort in every single move you make. Even, if you spend one rupee think whether it can used to clean. Remember we have a lot to clean. Be responsible, ask questions, and take a straight route even if it takes years to go. This should be our first step towards cleaning our house. We should not be the “Common stupid man” again.
Let’s make our house clean and green again.
Jai Hind.

Law of interesting work
I don’t understand a hell or I don’t give a damn what I don’t like. It’s the statement I made to my TL i.e. Technical Leader a person who is old enough to advise some one technically and who can lead a team of fresher man, techie and pseudo techie. I clash with my TL most of the times not technically but in understanding people’s mentality towards work, work allocation, people understanding and motivation. I simply call it team dynamics. I feel it changes from team to team.
Just got a sandwich and sat with my colleague for breakfast, my TL who’s my favorite tea-mate just joined us. We chatted from elections to evolutions to Ileana. Our discussion about the team and team dynamics are never ending.
One heated argument was “if same work is allocated to a person multiple times, it improves work efficiency and the understanding of the problem”. I really gone mad for his statement and said it pure bullshit it’s going to improve nothing, the work is gonna suck the interest of a person if it is an uninteresting problem. I hope he would have meant an interesting problem:).
I do really feel bored to do the same work, again and again and again. Personally I will do first time good, second time better and third time worst**:) (** If I am not interested). At uninterested work times I feel I should show un-interest in my interest;).
I think my TL had a point too, if his entire team asks for an interesting (“by law”) work, if he has time-bounded activities to be completed, what he can do? Business can’t go on personal interest or the individual employee’s interest; it always goes for money.
By law:
- All work are not interesting
- Interesting work always have lesser time (Amount of time for work)
- Interesting work is always less (Amount for work)
- Interesting work at all times are not interesting
- Uninteresting work with more time is interesting (lot of leisure time)
- Uninteresting work done by your buddy is interesting for you (Other side is always green)
Finally, I lost my interest in writing this :(. CY…

Budgeting Water
1 bucket of water is sold for 1 rupee and 1 glass for 25 paisa. In Gujarat, people in some areas were issued ration cards for water. It's a pathetic situation. This is one side of a problem were water is not available. Yet, another report states in major 11 cities out of 3000 million litres about 726 million litres of water is wasted in a day. So, not only save oil but also water, in future people might hedge on commodity named 'water', that might impact your montly budget :)..
After stating about water, one question arises, Is water only faces such a pathetic situation? No, nobody will think so, I guess...
Thanks to the hoardings, that you see in and around the city will give us a better picture. I wish to list out a few.
- Save oil, Save India.
- Plant a tree
- Say no to Plastic
- Globe is hot saying "Global Warming", Thanks to lighting companies, my electrical shop guy lectures about global warming.
- Save Power.
- Greener world associations
And lot more. I am confused, which organization to join and which one to contribute, I
finally decided not to join any organization. Better to be a part of all by writing it in a blog and to educate my friends and family :)...
So I guess the message would leave some thought in your minds…

My 8.30am Bus
May be I am right! No may be I am wrong! Do I think selfish, why I shouldn’t think that? Why didn’t I get that, even when I paid for it? Why the hell it didn’t work? These are just a few questions we ask when we have paid for some service and when we are denied or not served at the right moment. Hold on with this thought. One of such situation.

"Hope"-- the movie
The words perseverance, hope; I never thought would impress me that much until I watch this movie. “Hope is the good thing, may be the best of all good thing that will never dies”. Is that quote which made me think about the intensity of the word “Hope”? I really think there is so much to think before we utter these words.
I never got so much observed by a movie. A movie which has changed my thought process say the way you portrait yourself. Check this dialogue “Get busy living or Get busy dying”. Man how this guy, “Frank Darabont” would had made these character. I adore Frant Darabont. The "Shawshank redemption" is the movie I was talking about. A movie starts in a prison with Andy and Red which made a never lasting impression in my mind.

Paradigm shift
Its been quite a some time I started scraping my thoughts, now few thoughts started bothering me I wanted to post as a process to improve my writing skill and to share my thought process. Last saturday, I was out to meet my good old college seniors who has been my mentor and gave inputs to improve me Mr.Bals and few others. We planned to have dinner at some good restuarnt in cmh road, which is famous for something else than food. We met few other seniors also.
Its about six people finally started asking about their travel, marriage plans and I was watched around, because what they spoke doesnt interest me than what I was watching. Soon after some time, I gave attension when they attered the word "work". I know, people all are in Tech lead, partly manager, Research Engineer, senior analyst., but a few only liked what they where doing. But rest cant move out of this job.
They had many reasons to say that, "They cant move out". They said family, work, status, money, travel what not. Its boils down to final word the paper called 'money'. I just questioned them just proceed what you want to do, after some time, money will flow into your pocket, why your thinking that you cant do what you wanted to do.They said a lot.,[I understand one more thing, We speak a lot and we mean (really mean) only about 20~30 %, rest all we are speaking to the enviroment or the situation and for some body.]
Think of a "Paradigm shift"., where you can do what you wanted to do, you might like to do Painting, violinist, teach maths for school kids, gardening, cooking, surgeon, anything that you wanted to do or feel like doing, but for all work we all will be paid the same. But dont put lot of logic into this thought and ask what will business people do or its impossible. Just imagine a world where you will do what you want to do really, you will also have money to live. Is that a Paradigm shift ?. I dream about this place daily and always want to make my current place look like that.
I read in some book, I guess its from Fountain Head, "Your gonna work for 40 years from now, Do what you like to do, Else ur gonna waste your time and you regret at the end. U cant even change that."
Just do what you wanted to do, Then its no work, only play :-)..

The V-day, Feb 14
Its a auspicious day with a awesome evening to cheer for. As I was waiting in the corner of the corridor for her to come out of the evening class. As the bell rangs, my heart started to pump twice the normal. I was fully excited with lot of enthu, faith, bit of hesitation to start. As usual friends are giggling around. I found her walking slowly and silently giving a small sign asking me to follow her. In the midst of evening sun, in garden where you can only find roses in and around her as her friends. I plucked a rose and said to her from my heart "I love .................(full mute)......

Being Twenty-Something !!!
They call it the "Quarter-life Crisis." It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about yourself that you didn't know and may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now. You start
realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you don't recognize is that they are realizing that too, and aren't really cold, catty, mean or insincere but that they are as confused as you.You look at your job... and it is not even close to what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and that scares you. Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and are constantly adding things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn't. One minute, you are insecure and then the next, secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life.
You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try to cling on to the past with dear life, but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away, and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you. Or you lay in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough that you want to get to know better. Or maybe you love someone but love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you know that you aren't a bad person.
You go through the same emotions and questions over and over, and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision. You worry about loans, money, the future and making a life for yourself... and while winning the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender! What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it.
We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out. Send this to your twenty-something friends... maybe it will help someone feel like they aren't alone in their state of confusion... "I bend but I do not break."

'You've got to find what you love
'You've got to find what you love,' Jobs says
This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005.
I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.
The first story is about connecting the dots.
I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?
It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course." My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.
And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.
It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example:
Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.
None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, its likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.
Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
My second story is about love and loss.
I was lucky — I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation — the Macintosh — a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.
I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down - that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me — I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.
I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.
During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I returned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.
I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.
My third story is about death.
When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.
I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now.
This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope its the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept:
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.
Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.
Thank you all very much.

Quite a vague question to start with :-)
Are we fit for this salary?,
Are we fit for wat we are?,
Are we overpaid ?
Quite a wage question to start with :-)
We are the people who born with most luckiest star" of about 100 crore around us. We have been provided with the best by the parents and by the country rather than our parents by the country. India have always been a country with debt on her name and provided the best to the citizens. Is that possible with any other country ?. Answer, No where (I am not sure of). Our motherland has provided always the best to us from the birth,the education and to the eternity.We have always enjoyed from school to college with gov pass for bus, cycle for students, even full fee exemption and even now after the college we have given a magical tags. Ya, most people would have guessed it correctly, this article is focussed on Software professional &
industry and my views about it...
Am I worth for this salary..,We the s/w professionals (all s/w engg) who born with a golden spoon and walking all the way to the college with a pride. Happy saying to the world that we are making our economy improve. Is that what we are doing ?. The "software professional", is that magical words are worth saying. How much we are contribution to the amount we are paid for. As most of you know, I completed my under graducation from communication stream. Come out
of college with a magical number (not in cgpa anyways) that are called as my Salary. From the day-one in my office I had a question in my mind Am I making sense for those magical numbers (Even if I put my fullest potential). After a 20 months of my sofware industry experience i feel "No majority are not contributing to how much they get". Question it urself...
Is our product status worth for Big money..,Is our products worth for those big money ?. Still I feel the same NO, its not worth that much. But, why we are paid so much from this industry ? (Anyways a cheap labour) I didnt get a proper answer.Why the hell the indian software engineers are given so much hype. Are we doing any meaningful work (I am not blaming all the companies, its about the rest 90% who are into something, Only 10 % does good work). Why is it so ? We are providing a very extensive support for the service industry why not to the product industry ? Do we have any real product company ? As an IT major, how many products we have that will drive the next generation software industry. I personally feel we didnt have anything of that sort. We are trying to take all kinds of junk work across all the sectors from all countries and support the/ make the customer feel happy. Remember we are paid for the laziness of the US people. We are not paid for work (:-)). If he becomes energetic or capable of handing it himself, What are we going to do ?
Why other sector are treated as step-mother's child..,
Compared to the IT/ITES sector other sectors perform very well and also support heavly to the indian Economy, for example indian infrastructural industry, retail sector, power are contributing more to the economy than the IT sector. Why those sectors are not giving the enough importance. Why we people (in general )believe strongly in this sector alone. Another factor is that its possible to create a better job and sustainable growth from other sector too. I personally feel the IT sector is creating a major gap with in the middle class people and also with the poverity line people. IT sector increases the affordability of few people and firing the inflation in larger extent.
Are we really stressed in this JOB :-)..,
Another big thing i feel so much petty about this industry is that, people in IT industry always use a term called "Stress". I met one of my friend after a long time in railway station. I was asking him how his health is, he gave a reply like "I am much stressed, because of my job (S/W)". I have heared a general assumption from people saying IT people are much stressed. Is that the general scenario. I have a BIG NO for these general assumptions too. There are people in other industry work for 12 /14 hours and they are comfortable with their jobs. What makes people so restless ? I feel its all money & hype driven for this IT industry People like fund managers, who work for 15 hours a day are much strained. Think again are we really strained ? If so Why ?
Are are working for our full potential (Majority of people)? I hope this question is very obvious for all :-). I think we are not working for our fullest potential. Neither we are expected to do that.
Minting money is different and giving a statement like "We are contributing to the economy growth" are we self content ?,Think again are we really the major contributors to the nations economy :-( ???. I am happy and proud to say that people working in this sector are the major contributors of the income tax. Still as a whole i am not convinced with whats happening in and around the IT sector.
Are we fit for wat we are?,
Are we overpaid ?
Quite a wage question to start with :-)
We are the people who born with most luckiest star" of about 100 crore around us. We have been provided with the best by the parents and by the country rather than our parents by the country. India have always been a country with debt on her name and provided the best to the citizens. Is that possible with any other country ?. Answer, No where (I am not sure of). Our motherland has provided always the best to us from the birth,the education and to the eternity.We have always enjoyed from school to college with gov pass for bus, cycle for students, even full fee exemption and even now after the college we have given a magical tags. Ya, most people would have guessed it correctly, this article is focussed on Software professional &
industry and my views about it...
Am I worth for this salary..,We the s/w professionals (all s/w engg) who born with a golden spoon and walking all the way to the college with a pride. Happy saying to the world that we are making our economy improve. Is that what we are doing ?. The "software professional", is that magical words are worth saying. How much we are contribution to the amount we are paid for. As most of you know, I completed my under graducation from communication stream. Come out
of college with a magical number (not in cgpa anyways) that are called as my Salary. From the day-one in my office I had a question in my mind Am I making sense for those magical numbers (Even if I put my fullest potential). After a 20 months of my sofware industry experience i feel "No majority are not contributing to how much they get". Question it urself...
Is our product status worth for Big money..,Is our products worth for those big money ?. Still I feel the same NO, its not worth that much. But, why we are paid so much from this industry ? (Anyways a cheap labour) I didnt get a proper answer.Why the hell the indian software engineers are given so much hype. Are we doing any meaningful work (I am not blaming all the companies, its about the rest 90% who are into something, Only 10 % does good work). Why is it so ? We are providing a very extensive support for the service industry why not to the product industry ? Do we have any real product company ? As an IT major, how many products we have that will drive the next generation software industry. I personally feel we didnt have anything of that sort. We are trying to take all kinds of junk work across all the sectors from all countries and support the/ make the customer feel happy. Remember we are paid for the laziness of the US people. We are not paid for work (:-)). If he becomes energetic or capable of handing it himself, What are we going to do ?
Why other sector are treated as step-mother's child..,
Compared to the IT/ITES sector other sectors perform very well and also support heavly to the indian Economy, for example indian infrastructural industry, retail sector, power are contributing more to the economy than the IT sector. Why those sectors are not giving the enough importance. Why we people (in general )believe strongly in this sector alone. Another factor is that its possible to create a better job and sustainable growth from other sector too. I personally feel the IT sector is creating a major gap with in the middle class people and also with the poverity line people. IT sector increases the affordability of few people and firing the inflation in larger extent.
Are we really stressed in this JOB :-)..,
Another big thing i feel so much petty about this industry is that, people in IT industry always use a term called "Stress". I met one of my friend after a long time in railway station. I was asking him how his health is, he gave a reply like "I am much stressed, because of my job (S/W)". I have heared a general assumption from people saying IT people are much stressed. Is that the general scenario. I have a BIG NO for these general assumptions too. There are people in other industry work for 12 /14 hours and they are comfortable with their jobs. What makes people so restless ? I feel its all money & hype driven for this IT industry People like fund managers, who work for 15 hours a day are much strained. Think again are we really strained ? If so Why ?
Are are working for our full potential (Majority of people)? I hope this question is very obvious for all :-). I think we are not working for our fullest potential. Neither we are expected to do that.
Minting money is different and giving a statement like "We are contributing to the economy growth" are we self content ?,Think again are we really the major contributors to the nations economy :-( ???. I am happy and proud to say that people working in this sector are the major contributors of the income tax. Still as a whole i am not convinced with whats happening in and around the IT sector.
