Chennai is "THE CITY"

for all those folks, earning their living in bangalore, hydrabad, mumbai, us, uk, alaska, kudiyatham, sringar, glascow mark these words, and mark this news in your diary. We are the best in terms of facilities, infrastructure and in coding. If not, India's no.1 IT compnay wont' set up world biggest software development centre here in chennai. And we, myself, saravanan & herbi is proud to associate with this city and will work to ensure this city top the charts [ ippi yellam solli than aganum...ennathai pandrathu]Infy to set up world's largest software development centre in Chennai - The Economic Times

"Code"-a archanai

It's great word being repeated billions of time worldwide, the knowledge country for the world, the coding paradise and a bunch of brilliant programmers, that's India. this report, by Wired Magazine, takes the issue further and says the new face of sillicon age lies in the streets of bangalore, hydrabad, mumbai, chennai, pune. You may get a component build for .net, when you finish your 2.50 paise tea at the cornor stall of the street. You get an entire application reverse engineered, before you wipe your hand on the towel, after your lunch.

How american's being beaten square and near in their own turf, is the big issue today. America is not crying fool to get their programmers back, but it is their frustration of something what they invented [computers, programmes, OS, applications] is now taking it biggest toll on them.

In the intervu, take this excerpt:

"When I ask what her advice is for a beleaguered American programmer afraid of being pulled under by the global tide that she represents, Jairam takes the high road, neither dismissing the concern nor offering soothing happy talk. Instead, she recites a portion of the 2,000-year-old epic poem and Hindu holy book the Bhagavad Gita: "Do what you're supposed to do. And don't worry about the fruits. They'll come on their own."

This is a story about the global economy. It's about two countries and one profession - and how weirdly upside down the future has begun to look from opposite sides of the globe. It's about code and the people who write it. But it's also about free markets, new politics, and ancient wisdom - which means it's ultimately about faith."

So that makes the point straight, a new world order is required, where we need to look upon everyone is equal. The mistake America did 25 years before, is not taking a heavy price. Unlike other industries, this industry is a knowledge based industry. So, India is also not safe in the long run. If china or any south east asian country tries to perfect the art of coding, they will perfect it in another 10 - 15 years, by the time, may be we will be having our own plaggards in hindi & english and will scream "dont move the jobs to Haiti, or srilanka" so beware.

Till then read this piece and tell your priest in your nearest temple to recite the mantras in EJB.Wired 12.02: The New Face of the Silicon Age

Laugh Baggage

Are you feeling good in the morning? or how about for a change, you have heard the "feel good" factors in radio, tv, press, outdoor and even at your toilet sheet, now this famous satirist from punjab is back with a political party. Read the Bhatti's vote-on-accountJaspal over here

Excerpts from that Interview:

Satirist Jaspal Bhatti on Wednesday literally stole NDA election mantra and launched his “feel good” party saying all he wants was to grab the power at the Centre at any cost.

Inspired by the “prevailing feel good factor”, the noted comedian, however, proudly claimed that his party does not have any ideology and was open to stitching an alliance with BJP and Congress at the same time as “the goal to grab power is common between us.” ;-)

He also said in his party, the prime minister’s post was reserved for the Bhatti family. It would go to him, and if he was not well, it would go to his son or grandchildren, but not to cousins or nephews, he said. :-)

Sure there are more laughs in the whole interview..worth if u think u have sometime to relax. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Pak's a Wal-Mart for WMD,

After writing the yesterday's Pak. controversy for Cricket, the morning newyork times gives more meaningful answer to my point.
Extract of the report is:

"NEW YORK: Pakistan, whose disgraced scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan operated a global nuclear-weapons ‘black market’ that extended from Switzerland to Japan and Dubai, is probably the world's most dangerous breeding ground for both weapons of mass destruction and terror, US news magazine Newsweek has reported.

Mr Khan, who was pardoned by President Pervez Musharraf, benefited from the delicate politics of the war on terror, the magazine said adding that his role in destabilising the 21st century could be compared with Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler's impact on the last century. Pakistan, not Iraq, is probably the world's most dangerous breeding ground for both WMD and terror. Pakistan is also a key US ally, the report said. In over 30 years, Mr Khan put together what Mohammed ElBaradei, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, called “a veritable Wal-Mart” for nuclear-weapons buyers, the report said.

It was the IAEA, not the Bush administration, that first put pressure on Pakistan to force Mr Khan to reveal his central role in the network, it said."

IAEA is world's premier organisation in atom utilisations for peace. "The IAEA is the world's center of cooperation in the nuclear field. It was set up as the world's "Atoms for Peace" organization in 1957 within the United Nations family. The Agency works with its Member States and multiple partners worldwide to promote safe, secure and peaceful nuclear technologies."

More on that reportPak's a Wal-Mart for WMD, and we stupidly considering sending our players to Pak.

In India, who is the most stressed man, asked the ? the Times of India sometime back. It is not Vajpayee, It is not Sonia, It is not Kalam, It is not Jaya, It is sourav ganguly. This man shoulders the responsibility of satsifying 100 million people, carries a more risk than anyone else above mentioned. I am not disgracing the political viewpoint of joining hands, but my ? is when the place is not sure of its safety, why we gotta risk our idols? Irrespective of this country is shining or not, our people are comfortable with watching cricket matches and their idols, why risk them.

Money, Power & Greediness...

3 different things hits my senses today.

1. 8 year old Ajith found dead in a hole digged for water in TN. Police, Fire Service and People have tried to take off the boy from the hole for 9 hrs, ended up taking his body finally.

Who is to be blamed in this ?

Is the boy really unfortunate ?
Is the contractor who digged the hole is careless ? or
Are we all are responsible in a macro sense for our greediness to suck water from the ground upto 250 ,300 ft and leaves a desert to the next generation? Are we not responsible for this kid's death.

2. Arun Gawli, the underworld don till 3 months before, has started a political party and contesting in elections 2004. The logic is simple, no criminal case against him is proved or he is not acquited in any criminal case. This is the same person a year & half back, boldly criticize against Bal Thackray & Shiv Sena in the heart of mumbai. Arun gawli, is the same guy, who has made innumerable strikes in maharastra, being the mastermind behind many worker-related strikes and controlled the mumbai port. There is a saying "Politicians are criminals", going by that how are we going to take up "criminals who are turning into politicians and the end equation will be criminal's criminal". Where are we heading?

3. The Govt & BCCI is happy to go for the pak. tour. The PCB is threatened the BCCI few days back, for the cancellation of the tour, and said, they will report it to the ICC an claims a penalty fees in few million dollars. The govt. gives the green signals. A three member team from BCCI has travelled pakistan for security checks, and gave their consenus for the much-awaited Indo-Pak series after 15 years [The last time we went there was at 1989, where that soil gave us cricket's all time great, none other than Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar. Will there be a similar thing happens this time ?]. This resulted in the world's biggest cricket tour in this year in terms of the sponsorship & rights.

This is not so bigger than ICC world cup, but for a series, this is a hefty revenue in terms sponsorship, collections and merchandise and advertising. Are we missing the core point that cricket is a game and not a war. Against Pak, i have often heard, that beating Pak. or losing to Pak. is the deciding factor of the cricketing value of this nation. On the other hand, Rameez Raja, former Pak. Cricket player and presently in the board of PCB said a point, which clearly illustrates the motive behind the entire tour. He called for Pak. companies to compete against Indian sponsors thereby raising the sponsorship tag and gaining more revenues. At last count, i believe, Samsung is the prime sponsor along with the Bajaj. The price they paid is a cool 15 Crore each. Do we have to bet or risk our player's life in pak for money ? When the president of the Pak. himself is narrowly escaped in 2 blast attempts how safe is to play in a country, where major international teams refused to play. [ Newzealand, England] In the name of joining hands, do we have to take such a big risk in betting our players in playing in Pak, when the bollywood's new found villain in their movies is Pak. army & supported terrorists [ LOC, Border, Mein hoo Hindustani etc]

Though on the surface all the three incidents seems to be different, the underlying principle or rather the invicible link is money, greediness and establishmental attitude. If not, the contractor dont have to be careless or a don need not get into contesting elections for sheer power or not 2 cricket boards gotta get the permissions & sanctions from the supreme rulers of the country for playing a game.

In the license raj, we were happy with our 1,000 rs. salary and conducted life peacefully and is that liberalisation, freedom, overdose of information, madness really driving us in a direction where we are all succumbed into the evil mouth of money, power & control. I donno.

GOD is there and its ME - I am an Athiest

"We still suspect the predictions as there is nothing mentioned about the future....predictions are always should be towards future and not on the past....so to justify it reveal what the future is. or simply believe that I am GOD(Gnana On Duty). "

Well i truly accept that predictions are for predicting the future. My ? is not that. My ? is how a stranger can tell the past. If you dig this issue a bit deeper, say if he is able to tell what had happened to me today, if i wld have met him 5 years before, he shld have given me the information of what is going to happen, which had happened till date. I am still searching for a clear answer to why and how this is possible.

OK. Let's look at the same point thru our jargon.

Even it is computing your past also, you require the data in your database to track the record for today. When knowing nothing about any pre data available, how someone can track back the data & information which is laid in an another server without having any real connections to his server. If it is available either on Internet or Intranet or in weblog, i ll accept of some form of data spread is available to be tracked on. When the information is within an individual which he discloses only to his near & dear and there is no linkage between a stranger & to him, how is it possible to compute the past from is face or readings or his palm

The answer to the ? will unfold the true mystery of whether there is a god of if he is, what is his purpose of being a God.

and btw, thank for aravind to suggest me to look into vaasthu, feng-shui, tarot, animalslew and others. Let me try those things and post back if i find it time aravind ;-)

GOD is there and its ME

HI Narain:

There is no surprise as such. Bcoz answer for all your questions is simple and existing. That is nothing than GOD is ME.
You don't realize the reality when it is happening but you realize it when it fails to happen. So belive in ME that's what GOD is.

Anyhow pass the address of the old man(prediction guy) i need to check lot of things..afterall GOD needs some predictions tooooo.

I think SARAS should be interested in meeting that guy...he likes to investigate all these things thinking he is from NGC. forgetting the reality that he is from Kolathur......ahahahhaha :)) :)) :))

enough FUN.

We still suspect the predictions as there is nothing mentioned about the future....predictions are always should be towards future and not on the past....so to justify it reveal what the future is. or simply believe that I am GOD(Gnana On Duty).

gnana
I am Surprise...I am GOD...I am everything...

Surpriseses

Surprise No.1 :
When i went to the corporation office for a detail regarding my father's death certificate, i got the info in 15 minutes. No bribes.

Surprise No.2:
Without making any serious attempt to sell myself, my ryze count hits more than 800

Mega Surprise :
My bank [indian bank] is near Ashok pillar. so for any official banking on 360 Degrees i gotta travel around 3 KMs from my home. The route in which i go has a few street peddalers, palmists, shoe repair and other guys. This is been a routine and i am seeing them for last 3 years. There was this old man, who is a fortune teller, sits in the side of the pavement and invariably he will be alone with no clients. This guy wont' even accept alms and i have seen it when somebody offered him a Tea, he refused to take it. Few days before, when i travel over there, i saw this guy sitting and staring at something. some intution pushed me to help this guy, by sitting with him. As i know this guy wont take alms, i have decided to take fortune predictions from this guy, not coz, i believe in that, but just to help this guy out.

This is where the surprises start. He has not seen me..i have not known him. He hasn't seen my palm or asked for birth details, kulam, kotharam and nothing he asked for. He just asked my name..that's all he did. He started to give me predictions & what happened, happening and to be happen in my life.

Surprise to the core is 80% he is rite. This is huge decideing factor.

His sayings are:

1. You are too adamant and to stick to your own goal rather than doing short term adjustments.
2. You are self-employed.
3. You have never had small goals in your life
4. You are associated with more no. of cine & artistic circle.
5. You are influenced by people from the north side of the city [ ofcourz i am, i was infl. by Mint set, Saravanan, Balaji and others]
6. You hate marriage.
7. You have too many things running on your mind.
8. Your financials are not strong..but u manage perfectly.
9. Your father will have a life kandam at 65 [ my dad died at 65]
10. You have a sister and you love her kid.

and he went so on...and he talks about wht my future is, how successful i am and other things are.

My question is how can a strager can predict so many things which are quite accurate about myself. If it is coz of some power and god-related stuff he is talking about, the age old dilema comes back, is there a god to be believed in? If not, how this guy can foresee things about me and how he can accurately tell things about my life. If that is true, why not there can be a god or similar to god which exists to guide us. Too many questions with no answers.

Any answers you know, just lemme know.

Tehelka is back

It's long time people have written things over here. What a news from Jan 21 to Feb.10th to go with.

1. Gnana is off to UK [in a freezing temperature ]
2. I am about to start my second company.
3. Herbert is busy with projects.
4. Aravindan ..no news...
5. Vazhakkam pola, Saras, will talk rarely...u know, he is competing against our former PM Narasimha Rao for maintaining silence talk.

Wht's up in Chennai...nothing to add our greatness, thanni kidayathu
No Water and it is started to getting hotter everyday.. April, May ninacha, bakkernuthu...

But the news i would like to share is that Tehelka is back not as a website, but as a weekly paper 40 Pages and comes like "Junior Post" format [for those of u who dont know, what is "Junior Post", the magazine is dead today, was from the Vikatan staple] The paper has started with a great controversial investigation. Is Christian Missionary Organisations are true to their nature of benefiting the poor or are they paid by the CIA and Bush Govt. for infliterating the innocent indian poor's live thru' which they can get accurate details of India.

Surprising to know the fact is that, they have made a clear move of using the postal service and pincode to design their programs. CIA today has a complete details in terms of geographical, topographical data of our country. Is this justifiable on the part of the missionaries?

Being stamped as a Hindu, i am against the caste, creed and discrimination issues inside this religion. But on a contrary, just coz, we are divided, do we need to sell this country. It's worth subscribing to this paper, not just coz of investigative journalism, offlate, you got one bold newspaper, who can raise their voice against the establishment. Anti-establishment news cannot be heard in India, coz, the moment you step out of your office, you can see a line up of Autos for taking you to the heaven. Read more at their site, but a subscription basiseTehelka

Yesterday, when i was watching 24 X7 in the latenite, in the X factor, a progarm on debatable issue, a point is being raised which is interesting. "India Shining" Campaign is a 25 Crore campaign [tht's the claim the ad. agency makes & the BJP says... the congress says it is 250 crores..leave along the figures] and it talks about the development happened in this country. Is it fair on the government part of communicate that to the public ? or Like American Media, why not we are averse to brand India in the global scale?

There are no two thoughts about this campaign being running for electoral victory in the election inside India. have a look at the international campaign of the same India Shining program That is a clear shift from the way how this campaign is being addressed in india. Do we have to have such things to popularise "Brand India" or "India Inc" to be truly global ?

Answering to the yesterday's debate, about Jawarhalal Nehru had an affair with Lord Mountbatten's wife, here is the link
