One life....

All we got is ... one life.


Think about born again with all your 40+ knowledge 20+energy and 60+wisdom.

We do have the entire 60+ years ahead.

Why i am blabbering about this?

I am 43 now and I feel less enthusiastic about changing the world
i see ... the thought i had when i was 20+.


At 20+ i felt that the whole life is in-front of me to explore.
I repeat... life is in-front of me to explore.


But after reaching 40+ i feel like i have left a lot behind doing
nothing to change the world as i see it.

Even the people i meet and all my friends are not talking about
changing the world and not talking about what is wrong with the world.
Most of them are talking about "how much we have saved"... to lead the
rest of the life..."how much we have earned"... that sounds more like...

i am getting ready to retire and die.


I am now wondering what it would feel like when i am 50+...

Will my friends talk about who are all alive and who are all dead?? and
not about changing the world?


Will that be like i am almost done and let me look for decent
death?
Will that be like I have left all these years doing nothing
and what i am going to do with aching leg, head and spine?

Will that be like I am closer to death and let me look for
things to feed without working?

Are there people who changed the world they saw... after 40?

There are very few .... Am i one of them?

Let me see.

Thought and Solar Energy

Here is an interesting comment i made to my colleague today (8th Sep 2009)

I asked him " you look like you are lost in your thoughts"

He said..."yes ... i was thinking about something" "how can anyone
be without thinking"..."We always think".

Then i made this comment out of the blue (which i think i was
thinking about when i was thinking about blogs, teaching, social
media networking !!!).

"Thinking is like Solar energy...free and Wasted". He repeated the same and noded as if he acknowledged my statement "Thinking is like Solar energy...free and wasted".



Then this thought came to my mind...why there are no process
which puts all the thoughts available free and put them into
use (like solar concentrator....).

Damn my thought... that is and was done with text-books, papers,
stories.
Damn my thought... that is what google is doing concentrating the
most searched page on the topic.
Damn my thought... that is what teachers are doing ... delivering
concentrated lessons leanrt over decades.

Damn my thought...

Yet another number...

Here is another example of our obsession with number...what is so stupidly great about the number 70? If it is 50 or 100 i can understand...what is this 70?

Poland is celebrating the 70th anniversary of WWII....what a crap.

Mobile and www

Everyone wants to think mobile as another accessory of www... but
Mobile web's requirement (vast majority) and www are entirely
different. Since mobile operators know where i am (lat - lan) the service and Monetization will be entirely different from www....

Simply put

Mobile - Me
www - Some stupid server

Mobile is about when i am on the move.
www is about when i am at the desk.

Mobile is about now-near-dear.
www is about anytime-anywhere-whothehellcares

Mobile data base should be volatile.
www is century's backed-up.

Mobile is mostly about voice.
www is mostly about visual.

Voice is slow.
Visual is fastest.

Mobile - wireless
www - wired (partially wireless).

Mobile- I should be informed.
www - I seek information.

Mobile- I know who the hell r u.
www - I don't care who the hell r u.

Mobile - kept mostly closer to my heart (shirt pocket).
www - Kept in some stupid island

Mobile - You connect to me.
www - Me connect to your server

Anything more?

Statue smashing...

Thiruvalluvar statue at Bangalore and Sarvajna statue at chennai...
is it a good thing or bad thing to do?

One argument can be put in this way... now if any rift happens
between kanadikas and tamilians in bangalore or near...the
first target for kanadikas would be to smash the statue. That
will fuel the anger of tamilians and they will probably want to
retaliate fiercely.

The next thing that will happen is ... people in chennai will
smash the Sarvajna (Sarvangu as they call him in tamil) and that
will further infuriate the kanadikas.

Will this spiral the hatred between the two regional people
living in both states?

OR on the psychological front....another argument can be put.


People will show their anger on smashing the statue than smashing
people...is that good. I would say that is good...then we should
install as many such statues as possible everywhere and peoples
attention will go in protecting the statue and smashing the
statue than attacking each other

My thinking is that this fuel the people attack than bringing
harmony ...let us look at this way...what happens if tamil guys
in bangalore smashes Kempekowda OR Kevempu statue in retaliation
to smashing the thiruvalluvar statue.

According to me this is a bad move by both states to re-installing
the old-forgotten statues at both the places. We will know in
coming years that this will prove ....not too far i beleive...this is
september and we have the cauvery issue coming up.

So....What a stupid act both the state governments did.

My Stupid statement...

My stupid statement....

I have been repeatedly saying this statement for last 2-3
years to many... i donno why i believe in this...and I am
not sure of what i am saying as well.


Science is struck for last the 70-years and Engineering
took over and Engineering is getting struck for the last
10-20 years that is why we are not seeing any progress or
major breakthrough execpt exploitation industry like (mass
production, information extraction, information distribution,
spreading the same technology to underdeveloped country etc.,
etc., etc.,).


and at the end i want to finish like "Where is my De-broglie".


My hope is we will find a good scientific breakthrough soon
and then everything follows on a developmental phase rather
than the exploitation phase.

Today I am happy....

Today I am happy.

I was musing about what i did ... whether that was right or
wrong... it ultimately boiled down to ..."I am right".


Today i received the draft agreement from the client. They
have agreed to pay what i asked... i knew i am not asking
too much...9-lacs for beautiful software (every creators view
of their product is beautiful) is not more.

Anyhow let me have this momentary happiness ... I will wait
until the cash comes to my company bank account then i will
announce to other stake holders.

I wanted to make this blog short... so that i am not overwhelmed by the
"I am right".
