just a humour !

DATE: 22 AUG 2008
i was sitting in my cubicle chatting with my colleague and topic was pathetic situation of India in Olympic games. we were not expecting anything and are so happy with 3. anyway discussion went on and finally came on government.

So a question to all of you....

Why government of India is not serious about making plans for winning golds / silver etc in Olympics.....

Any guesses.....

THEY WANT URANIUM..... AND IF IN OLYMPIC THEY DISTRIBUTE URANIUM TO WINNERS, GOVT OF INDIA WILL SURE TRY THEIR BEST :-)

Right thinking, minwin

i see a lot of people criticizing ms for its closed approach towards software ie. proprietary. and finally their innovation is blamed.

But if you compare ms products in 1990 and 2008 you find a lot of improvements. compare those with other OS developers.

motivational thought

I am not a fan of indira gandhi, but she has told one motivational thought which is enough for young hearts of india to rise to ocassion and work harder.

pragati to keval tabhi sambhav hai jab hum apni shamtao ko tutane ke star tak le jaye. anubhav yeh batata hai ki aise prayas hume todne ke bajay aur shakti pradan karte hai.

Improvement is possible only when we take our efforts to a level of break down. But Experience tells that such efforts dont break the person but give him more confidence and strength.

My nerd score

I sit on internet for a whole day, but still i miss a lot of fun given by this. I was just reading someone's profile and i saw nerd score. so i thought to have one.

Test Series in Cricket.

The test cricket remains most thrilling form of cricket. But in a try, not to loose it teams play slow and dirty sometimes. Decsions of test series depends on how much one win. I propose a better solution to make it interesting. Suppose 3 test match series is there. results can be 3-0 or 2-1 or 1-2 or 0-3. IF results are these, ok, decision is done. But for test series which have decisions like 1-1 or 0-0, some points on 2 point scale must be given to each team on day basis. So finally we have 30 points to be awarded or divided among two teams. Hence winner of series can be decided.

The difference

Recently i got chance to see two high profile characters from very close. Actually i met cdac director general in an inauguaration event. Around hundred people were gathered for event. some high profile guests were supposed to do SriGanesh Puja. Everybody started walking but DG had some thinking, he didn't hesitated a milisec for taking off his shoes. Then everybody got inside, after some 15 minutes he came back and took on his shoes.
Amazing Confidence, sticking to your own morales and all that for a right cause. He was keen to exchange knowledge.

Another one, a TCS manager probably some chief tech officer. We talked him purely technical but after seeing one software implemenation, he told, "ok u can do it in linux as kernel is available, how its possible in windows ? i dont want to know"
Amazing confidence, sticking to your own morales and all that for a unclear cause. He was keen to critisize.

There can be a learning from both of them. After Science is why, how, what etc. and motivation for science discoveries is human cause only. :-)

Usability Designs

If you remember Linux was ready into market at around 1990s and that time windows 3.1 or other operating system were in use. But what made difference to windows !
windows 95, 98 and then xp, vista. The only one thing which seperates windows from linux is its usbility designs. Linux developers realized it too late ! Anyway they are trying too hard.

One can see articles which define windows as useless. Well its not the case. I like both and i like software freedom with more logic, but nowhere i and you can blame windows designers for their perfect GUIs and usability designs.
