Its time to do something

I have been reading a lot of stuff lately. Mostly related to mobile technology. Went to OCC meet at Bangalore too. Met there interesting people, people who had started their own company, people who are into IT business for a long time. So in all having a nice time.

But now is not the time to just read blogs or track how google is performing or read the specification of google phone. I am in now my twenties and if I am not doing something at this age then probably couldn't do in future. This is the very high point of my life. I am in Bangalore where so many bits move around, outsourced from US to here and then back. Its probably the best place to stay, and also my company with its cool (European) work culture is optimum for me to do something. Bring out something best from me.

So its not the time for just reading and thinking only, its the time to DO...

Pretence and nothing else

Its 29th of this month, which means that its about a month I have joined the new company. And still hasn't done anything. Just pretending to work. Pretending to solve something, compiling code from baseline and then run the code. Procrastinate the work to the fullest possible. Even my manager comes to me and asks me how am I doing because I am not showing my face to him for weeks, try to run away from him. I don't know why but I am in the same mode which I used to be during college days. Not doing anything in the lab hours,talk at length with pc.

I want to change my self, I don't want to be the same chintan which used to be at college not doing anything just sitting and thinking like all the mango mans in the world. In fact I don't want to be one of them, a aam adami. Lets hope things might be different from this moment on and I do some productive work rather than just following Dilbert principle for staying away from boss.

Group Dynamics

I was planning to go to Mysore today as I wanted to be there during dussera. I was planning to go alone. I knew if I am going to ask my friends and tell them to make a plan then it would just remain as a plan. Because usually when you want to go in as group then mostly due to one person the entire plan would fail. If anyone says yaar chodo nahi jaana hai then entire groups morale would die and eventually everyone would sit at home.

The same expected thing happened. I am at home writing this blog and other friends are planning to go to MG Road. This way I am spending my weekends. I don't want to spend my time like this. I am cursing my self and telling that I should have went alone without asking my friends.

Big Idea : Abstraction

"Any problem in computer programming can be solved by adding a level of Abstraction"
"Performance can be improved by removing a level of Abstraction"


I am also adding another layer in order to solve problem.

Remembering Gandhi


Was following Gandhi for a quite while now, read his biography 'satyana prayogo' Gujarati version of 'My Experiments of Truth' also watched Gandhi My Father movie recently. I really appreciate the work and his philosophy. Many people accuse him or his philosophy, they think that if Gandhi was not there then we would be independent much earlier and so on.


But what I feel is Gandhi wanted to build the society. His movement was not against the Britishers but it was against the system which was installed or working. His way was much more difficult to follow and it was based on fundamental principle of Truth and Love. And to follow on such path requires strong conviction and character.


I was asking my self one question yesterday that if I was born in 1900s or during that era so I would be around 20s when Gandhi started his Satygraha movement. So which movement I would have chosen ?? Satyagraha or Krantikari movement which was the spirit of youth at that time ?? I was thinking between these two philosophies ..


No doubt both were very much patriotic and they were correct in their ways but I would prefer Gandhian way. Because it's important to Live for country rather than die for it.


Yesterday there were many news regarding the mistake Noble committee made not to honor him with peace prize despite nominated for 5-6 times. And one viewer on CNN iBN aptly replied that Gandhi do not require any awards or recognition and if the committee feels that they missed Gandhi then they should rename the prize as 'M.K.Gandhi Peace prize'.

Be the change you want to make in the world. -- Mahatma Gandhi
