When Salman Rushdie decided to pull out of the Jaipur Literary festival, seems like it shattered many hearts with people calling the action cowardly (even calling him a coward) and many telling that it is sad and it should not have happened. But is that really true? While it is true that the Government did not have the balls to tell the damn extremists to go to hell and guard the freedom of a visitor, it is also true that [...]
Getting a Job is not always easy and there is often not that many jobs. But that was always the case. When there were so many jobs for anyone who had a degree, the number of people with a degree was so less that people remained jobless. So the issue of jobs has to do a lot with an individual being employable. This includes not just your qualifications and skills, but also the salary for which you are ready to [...]
There is so much information out there that you will not be information starved that easily. But it is important that you put yourself into a restrictive information diet to ensure that you feed yourself with healthy information that can build your thoughts. But the big question is with just a few hours and so much information online how do you manage your time? I have found my answer in Google Reader that feeds me information (sometimes so much) that [...]
Years ago when I used to sell computer PCs and we were attending a tradeshow. A potential prospect came up and asked me “What is your warranty terms?” and I replied “We give you three years warranty.” The prospect was not happy, but instead of leaving the booth he stuck around there. He then pointed to a nearby computer booth and said “They give a life time warranty, why don’t you give a life time warranty on your PCs?” I [...]
Why is documentation in most companies such a mess? It is often not because people do not know to document (which could be the case in some places). The real issue is people hate to document. The sales people don’t like to document their progress, the developers about what they code and so on. It is often time consuming and in some cases people don’t want to do it because they want to remain irreplaceable and there by safeguard their [...]
After around twenty years in my work life I often keep hearing people say that they wished they had a more creative life. They are mostly referring to Artists, singers, movie actors and more who make a living working in the creative sector. I tell them creativity is not just about Arts. Yes! It is true that if you can sing, write, act or play an instrument or draw, it is great, but if you can’t does not mean you [...]
People say they need to get a work that is tightly coupled with their hobby and I often disagree with that. Yes there are examples of people who do things that they love and get their bills paid, but that is not the majority. The majority works to pay their bills and often think they like to do something else. But it is fine, what is your problem if you can do something for 8 hours of your day, pay [...]
You might have heard a thousand times that “you can be anything that you really put your mind into”. This is a cliché usage in motivation talks world over. If you have read the book “the secret” and pondered further to how people relate to what is written in the book to elements in quantum physics you will start believing a lot of that. As the world gives new perceptions and interpretations about matter and consciousness and how one could [...]
When do we say we are human or being human? May be it is tough to answer that in one sentence. But if you were to ask when are we being inhuman? people will give answers citing recent examples. That is the tragedy of our world. It is ironic that we remember examples of inhumanity than humanity in a world over populated by humans. The recent video of a two year old in china being run over by vehicles and [...]
Around the world when there is a scarcity for anything the value for it increases. Whole industries spring up surrounding this scarce resource and anonimity and privacy are slowly becoming scarce commodities in the world of Social media and Google searches. The question is will ‘being private’ be a scarce state of existence in the near future when everyone shares everything online. If that happens will ‘Being Private” be a state of tremendous value by any means? As the world [...]
