Got Invite? Google+

July 1, 2011 / Articles, Humor, Opinions, Social Media, Tech & Marketing, Technology

Got Invite? I did. Yesterday my wife sent me a Google+ invite (yes, on my request and out of her love for me) but Google is still taking time to send one to my inbox to start using it. Not sure if they heard the news that I have stopped using Facebook and they are filtering non active social media folks out of their initial list. But what the heck? social media has been around for a long time and [...]

Breaking our restricted world of likable realities

June 29, 2011 / Articles, Opinions, Personal, Responsibility, Society

Though it is true that we are often stressed by the information overload; the internet has also given us the technology tools to filter and selectively absorb what we want. I think this makes a significant change in the way we view and approach the world. While the emergence of technology, social networking, online news and sharing methods has made it easier for news to get popular, the downside is that they give the user the power to live in [...]

Did Baba Ramdev really say he will start an Army?

June 9, 2011 / Articles, Opinions, Politics

Baba Ramdev seems to have declared on Wednesday that he would be forming a ‘sena,’ or army, of 11,000 young men and women who will be trained in the use of “scripture and weapons” he has also called people from various regions to send 20 people to join this sena. Does he have any clue what he is saying here? If Baba thinks that an army of 11000 people armed (again he says for self defense) is the solution, he [...]

You want to Lead?, First be above Suspician

June 8, 2011 / Articles, Opinions, Politics

When Julius Caesar divorced his wife Pompeia just because she was linked with the politician publius Clodius he is said to have made the famous statement “Even Ceaser’s wife should be above suspicion”. Ramayana talks about a test called Agni Parikha (test of fire) and states that after Agni Pariksha confirmed purity once, on the demand of the people Sita Devi was asked to go through the ordeal again and seems this changed the way the story was shaped later [...]

Let Baba do his part; Let us do ours!

June 5, 2011 / Articles, Opinions, Politics, Responsibility, Society

Yesterday I posted that I was unsure if I should support Baba Ramdev in his fast against corruption in india and the post had people from the for and against camps comment in. Unfortunately I am still unsure even after reading the comments and seeing the government used force on the individuals assembled there (which I personally condemn). Force on the common man should always be condemned. Since Anna Hazare has started this activity a while back we will see [...]

Why I am unsure about Baba Ramdev?

June 4, 2011 / Articles, Opinions, Politics

Baba Ramdev fasts; and why is it that I don’t feel the same I felt when Anna Hazare embarked on it a while back. Though there are a lot of similarities in the demands, why is it that I feel different here and why is it that I feel all smoke and glitter. Why is it that I feel that giving Baba Ramdev my support would not be the right thing. Though I am against corruption and a strong believer [...]

You need to free your mind to understand what others are trying to convey

May 25, 2011 / Articles, Family, Life, Love, My Two Cents, Opinions, Philosophy

The world we see is a perception of what we think the world is. Same goes with what people say and what we take the meaning as. Our life is always a hit and miss of what we perceive a person wished to convey through their words or actions. At times we are so sure about our perception and go forward with that until we meet a dead end. Other times we are the one who are trying to say [...]
