We use to live in a world where they said that too much sleep was the sign of laziness. The interesting this is that this thought went too far that now we battle the problems of having less sleep. Is’t that ironic, We change our lifestyles hoping for the better and it back fires. What no one ever really gave thought is even initially it was not sleep that people were against. It was the to waking up late in [...]
Today Rod Blagojevich starts his 14 years sentence in a federal prison joining another former governor George Ryan who is also serving his sentence for corruption. The same prison also has Jeff Skilling the former CEO of Enron along with another 1000 inmates many of whom are charged for drug offences and even violent crimes like murder. As an Indian I wonder what would happen in India if we find someone (a politician) corrupt. May be we will never find [...]
This is an ad that is being run by Google Ads. I stumbled on it as I was browsing “Times of India”. This is by a company called Spokeo which is a Social Network aggregator that pulls in data from various social sites. What I loved is the tag line for this ad “Is he cheating on you?” Enter his email address and find out. Before you start saying that these ads are not random but targeted to the person [...]
This question may sound absurd to many and a few might even say that I am nuts asking this. But I was recently reading an article in Times of India blogs that probed the idea “Do nations have a split personality? especially India” something like the famous Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde story. While we could clearly identify that the Dr. Jekyll personality of India would be its economic growth, large military, space initiatives, being tech savvy etc… and Mr. [...]
After being the most popular song last year ‘Why this Kolavery di?” teaches us a few lessons That we can all sing if we want That Social media can popularize something That what people like has nothing to do with what is termed as ‘brilliant’ Brilliance is also acceptance not just the piece of art alone No marketing data would have predicted Kolaveri success Though point 5 is true many jokers will still spend money in marketing research And marketing [...]
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 [...]
The other day a thought occurred. If someone with a split personality (Very acute as shown in thriller movies, though I am not sure if the extend of fiction in the movies are far from reality) uses social media tools like Facebook and Twitter would he or she remember the passwords of a profile created by one personality? Or would they create a new profiles for every new personality that they split into? Assuming they will remember the passwords and will [...]
When I asked someone what a million dollar question was he just shrugged and said questions don’t have a value, it is the answers that carry the value. He was at the same time right and wrong. ‘Right’ because the answer is what ultimately bears the reasoning for the question’s existence. ‘Wrong’ because to get valuable answers you have to ask essential and valuable questions. This made me thinking what really would be a million dollar question? How can you [...]
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 [...]
Correctness is not what is defined by those in power to cover up their wrong. Freedom is the absolute correctness and when it is extended to all, it is natural that the correctness of the powerful get blurred. In a free world where everyone has a right to a voice; correctness will evolve to include every single human being. To understand Social Networks and its impact we should first look at evolution. In the millions of years we have evolved as [...]
