Technology Mess!!!!

I am big proponent of IT revolution that is transforming our lives. But , once the going gets tuff, life gets into mess. The same happened with my Blogspot. Somehow was struggling to make the comment button work for last 7 days and when I thought the only option left was deleting the account and start a fresh I got the way out. The problem was simple. While making my last posts I had my enable comment option disabled. Then I enabled the option but still could not see the comment button visible. Today, while making my last try I realized that comment can’t be enabled in the Old Posts but it is getting visible for new posts.
At times, the IT mess is so irritating that it can get into ur nerves. When I retrospect my memory is full with many such mess. One happened while I was trying to find out one widely circulated clip. I typed the keywords in Google, only to end up seeing that word pop up every time I gave D in Google text searchbox. Another mess happened when I was sending some AutoMail to a group with my AutoReply enabled. It happened that someone had his Out of Office enabled. So, what happened was my mail ended up getting into a chain of infinite loop. The issue then had to be sorted out with the help of mail admin team. Another such mess happened while trying to Install a s/w I made my hard disk crash. The life with comp is really fun till the time it works fine...but the moment it starts going wrong..."God Help Me"

Rise of India

Shuttling Delhi, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Kolkatta, Chennai in last few months I saw a drastic change that has started sweeping India. The so called leftist calls it Great Urban Dream. But I have many reason to prove Left’s argument as a fallacy. Wherever there is good political governance followed by good political stability, the state is growing leaps and bounds. Be it Karnataka, Kerala, WB, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Gujrat . Way the dollar is entering country either from export or remittance, it has created huge job opportunity. The country which few days back complained about lack of job opportunity has now job surplus. All average educated person can easily expect a decent job .The days of power shortage, pot holes, red tapism, unemployment is giving away to heavy consumerism, luxury life style, e governance. The way these cities that I have seen are unbundling itself speaks of the confidence. Though still the cow belt region(MP,UP, Bihar) and North east are lagging in the gold rush that is taking place in some states. But, that is for different reason. North has its problem castism, feudal mentality , parochial political leaders, lack of primary education and North East has got its problem of insurgency and negligence of Center . But, I strongly believe that growth has a trickle down affect and once it starts taking place in certain regions of the country its affect will have positive impacts in underdeveloped areas also. If the politicians of the country dnt hijack the idea of dream India with their insular policies then the Goldman Sachs report of India being super power by 2050 might come true. Though a long way to go n loads off hurdles in road, but seeing first sign of developments in these cities I am thrilled.

Thank God!!!!!!!!!

Thank God!!! I am born in the last decade of 20th century and now have sailed into to 21st century. This thought struck me other day while watching the movie Gladiator . How ruthless life can be, how barbaric we human are, how manipulative we human are.
The evolution of mankind for last 5000 years has been filled with an act of struggle, struggle for existence itself. The struggle with nature, then with other animate beings and then within its own kind. Once the humans could subvert the ecological balance in its favor , then there was no stopping back. The so called human civilization started to take shape. The design for which was done by few Oligarch. The design in itself was flawed which was based on the closed ideas of few who had their personal designs. All the roots of innovation and idiosyncratic ideas were crushed . Result was in the first half it took mankind a 3000 or more years to make a leap. The second half ushered in after the Industrial revolution. The right to question, knowledge sharing brought with it the rapid advancement in technology, medicine, navigation . Advancement was so fast that what was clocked in 3000+ years was being breached in 150 years. Opportunist by nature , mankind realized the luxury of materialism. They realized this life is better then the previous closed life of barbarism. Hence came the rise of MNCs, Universities, Free thinking, Innovations. Now, I find myself privileged enough to be born in this era. Basking myself in the Couch with A/C blowing and reading a book with iPod in my ears I in my weirdest nightmare also can’t imagine myself living in that closed era of 300 years. Those eras are better to be enjoyed in Gladiator, King Arthur genre movies in a multiplex than to be a part of it.
