What is the purpose of education...? What is an education really mean...? When you ask any person in this country, why you need education.?the maximum replies will be for a job..to live etc..! But many believe education means qualification..and does both mean the same..? How many of the people are confident in the subject they got qualified..? How many know the actual meaning or understand of what they are studying...? In this highly populated and developing country for getting a job really needs to face tuff competition . Thats true. For that every parent wants to grow toppers and rankers in their homes. Every one wants No.1. that too in the field of engineering, medicine or management and other than these no other field is acceptable. And to say frankly they don't even like and have no guts to think other than these fields. Can you show me any one person who want to make his son/daughter as a great writer or painter. If any one ask this, the answers will be like.... "How much you will get if he is in that field...or it is difficult to get a job or it is difficult to succeed in that field". So here money dominates the interest..! And no one wants to take risk in that. This the real fact. Because of this we opt the field based on the money but not on the interest. And there is nothing that we cant get success in other fields...but we don't have guts to choose other than these and also cant realize this until somebody got succeeded in other field. But success comes with practice, excellence. For that a person requires interest on what he is doing. Only the person who have interest and passion in what he is doing can only get success. But most of us are influenced by the others in such a way that we cant able to think or set a goal by our interest. If people around us say this is good means we go for that without knowing about our interest or capabilities. Todays education is really job oriented but not knowledge oriented. And many are studying to get marks and qualification but not for knowledge. This is well known fact...! This is why we have many people with qualification but lack of real education.Here it is like joining a college... memorize the content...get a degree and join a job n relax...! But many pass the college without understanding what they studied.An educated person shall able to think about a problem. But I feel the real education in India will start only after joining a job. Here we do the things. We think for the solution. And we work on a particular subject and we become expert of that subject. But if a person who have no interest in his field can not get excellence and success. I have seen many of my friends who did electrical engineering and joined in software and other industries. There is no relation between their education and job. This is because of money domination as I said before and also lack of opportunities because of heavy competition. This is why we don't have people of excellence even having many qualified people. No inventions and no developments. This is why developed countries going ahead in improvements and inventions. They need not worry about money and they wont study for job or living. They study as per their interest and so they are succeeding. Then what about our country. We have to be like this only..? When the change will come...? We change the fields as per the industry boom.We study almost all subjects but with no expertise. We have many talents but development happens only if that talent meets the excellence...! But excellence can not happen until there is a change in attitude. Then to change this attitude we have to become rich and to become rich we have to change this attitude...! Who can solve this...!!!!??????????

Stronger Rupee = Stronger India
Let me ask a question first.
What type of economic strength is preferable to
A) A strong Indian economy fueled by its cheap labor due to a weaker rupee against dollar, where the Indians end up working in shifts, late nights, whole nights and what not… only doing low profile jobs which foreign companies want to offload to India, so that they can concentrate on high end works and become even better. For instance in IT field, providing BPO services, support and maintenance work for products…
OR
B) A strong Indian economy fueled by its strong innovations and products, no matter whether the rupee is strong or weak against dollar.. where Indians work only in regular office hours of 9 to 6, developing cutting edge technologies and solutions, selling our world class products both inside and outside
I do not deny the fact that the IT boom in
But at the same time doesn't it make sense to move towards (B), instead of crying foul against rupee becoming stronger against dollar?
What a pity! Indian IT companies are feeling bad because rupee is becoming stronger against dollar! Reason, their profits will go down when the value of rupee is stronger, as every single dollar that comes into their account now means lesser rupee than earlier.(if for instance earlier they used to get 47 rupees for every dollar that comes in, but today its about 40!)
But isn't this a matter of celebration? Our rupee is gaining importance internationally and is becoming stronger again.. How many of us know that in 1947 when
These Indian IT companies instead of relying on a weaker rupee for their profit should now look at coming out with innovative products and technical solutions. What have these companies done in the arena of core system products? Why don't we have any operating systems, compilers, database systems, development platforms etc coming out of
Instead they are planning to make their employees work on Saturdays too ! So that their profits can increase due to extra hours the employees put in.. As if
If Indian companies continue to depend on its weak currency, then how would Indian economy survive in a world where all currencies have equal value? Survival of the fittest. Only greater innovation can help us in that case..
We need to have knowledge and technological advantage if
I hope that rupee becomes more and more stronger so that Indians are forced to use their brains and come up with innovative products and next generation technologies, than to provide low end services…
We need to create a situation where other countries line up to buy our F-16s, to buy our operating systems, to buy our mobile phones and I-pods, to buy our Boeing, to buy our Mercedes…
A stronger rupee means we can easily afford foreign trips!
"A stronger rupee means Indians can buy things anywhere in the world on par with developed economies! We don’t have to spend crores of rupees then to buy a Boeing! We don't have to pay tens of thousands of rupees for international air travels! A stronger rupee means greater international exposure! There wont be a difference between buying a Maruti and buying a Mercedes! One can go on a trip to the Grand Canyon just like the way one goes to Ladakh or
I am not saying providing low end services is wrong .. It gave us a very good start in the 90s. But that should definitely not be the bread and butter fueling our economic boom indefinitely in the future.. For the simple reason that it can't continue to do so any longer.. other low cost destinations, cheaper than
This is just the beginning of all the beginnings…

'If Life Is A Game, These Are The Rules'
Rule One - You will receive a body.
Whether you love it or hate it, it's yours for life, so accept it. What counts is what's inside.
Rule Two - You will be presented with lessons.
Life is a constant learning experience, which every day provides opportunities for you to learn more. These lessons specific to you, and learning them 'is the key to discovering and fulfilling the meaning and relevance of your own life'.
Rule Three - There are no mistakes, only lessons.
Your development towards wisdom is a process of experimentation, trial and error, so it's inevitable things will not always go to plan or turn out how you'd want. Compassion is the remedy for harsh judgement - of ourselves and others. Forgiveness is not only divine - it's also 'the act of erasing an emotional debt'. Behaving ethically, with integrity, and with humour - especially the ability to laugh at yourself and your own mishaps - are central to the perspective that 'mistakes' are simply lessons we must learn.
Rule Four - The lesson is repeated until learned.
Lessons repeat until learned. What manifest as problems and challenges, irritations and frustrations are more lessons - they will repeat until you see them as such and learn from them. Your own awareness and your ability to change are requisites of executing this rule. Also fundamental is the acceptance that you are not a victim of fate or circumstance - 'causality' must be acknowledged; that is to say: things happen to you because of how you are and what you do. To blame anyone or anything else for your misfortunes is an escape and a denial; you yourself are responsible for you, and what happens to you. Patience is required - change doesn't happen overnight, so give change time to happen.
Rule Five - Learning does not end.
While you are alive there are always lessons to be learned. Surrender to the 'rhythm of life', don't struggle against it. Commit to the process of constant learning and change - be humble enough to always acknowledge your own weaknesses, and be flexible enough to adapt from what you may be accustomed to, because rigidity will deny you the freedom of new possibilities.
Rule Six - "There" is no better than "here".
The other side of the hill may be greener than your own, but being there is not the key to endless happiness. Be grateful for and enjoy what you have, and where you are on your journey. Appreciate the abundance of what's good in your life, rather than measure and amass things that do not actually lead to happiness. Living in the present helps you attain peace.
Rule Seven - Others are only mirrors of you.
You love or hate something about another person according to what love or hate about yourself. Be tolerant; accept others as they are, and strive for clarity of self-awareness; strive to truly understand and have an objective perception of your own self, your thoughts and feelings. Negative experiences are opportunities to heal the wounds that you carry. Support others, and by doing so you support yourself. Where you are unable to support others it is a sign that you are not adequately attending to your own needs.
Rule Eight - What you make of your life is up to you.
You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. Take responsibility for yourself. Learn to let go when you cannot change things. Don't get angry about things - bitter memories clutter your mind. Courage resides in all of us - use it when you need to do what's right for you. We all possess a strong natural power and adventurous spirit, which you should draw on to embrace what lies ahead.
Rule Nine - Your answers lie inside of you.
Trust your instincts and your innermost feelings, whether you hear them as a little voice or a flash of inspiration. Listen to feelings as well as sounds. Look, listen, and trust. Draw on your natural inspiration.
Rule Ten - You will forget all this at birth.
We are all born with all of these capabilities - our early experiences lead us into a physical world, away from our spiritual selves, so that we become doubtful, cynical and lacking belief and confidence. The ten Rules are not commandments, they are universal truths that apply to us all. When you lose your way, call upon them. Have faith in the strength of your spirit. Aspire to be wise - wisdom the ultimate path of your life, and it knows no limits other than those you impose on yourself.

BORN TO WIN
My competition said I wasn't ready to face him
My teammates said 'I think we need to replace him'
All the haters used to say 'we hate him'
I wanna thank y'all for the inspiration
Waited a long time for my time I'm anxious
Something like a doctor, cause I got patients
May the best man win, the worst man lose
Last man no choice, the first man choose
I was born as a leader, that's what I gotta be
I don't follow rules, I let the rules follow me
I'ma focus man on the lose, animal out the cage
An ambitious and vicious champion with a rage
What's the difference between a champion and a challenger?
A champion already conquered his caliber
You tryna become, a champion became
I got more wins then a hurricane
My adrenaline rushing through my veins
Next stop is victory, it's rushing like a train
I'm determined to win, cause there's nothing like the pain of defeat
I refuse to remain incomplete
Gotta lot of stamina cause I train for some weeks
Got my strength from the vitamins and the grains that I eat
All obstacles overcame, I'm unique
I started from the bottom, see I came from beneath
The sky's the limit so I'ma raise to my peak
Winning is everything, let me explain what think
Practice makes perfect, so when working I dont relax
I practice a lot, therefore I'm perfect and that's a fact
Been through some hard times while the burner was on my back
It was rough, but I was determined so I adapt
Gettin what Im deservin, holla back
Game over you lost like a person with outta map
Cause when it all begins
My eyes on the prize so it's on again
I refuse to loose I ain't gon pretend
I thought I told you I was born to win
Victory I choose
Ain't no turning back cause I paid my dues
I tighten up my laces when I tie my shoes
Born to win, I refuse to lose
Everybody loves a winner!

YOUR PERSONALITY
The crazy person says, "I am Abraham Lincoln, " and the neurotic says, " I wish I were Abraham Lincoln, " and the healthy person says, "I am I, and you are you, "
Answering the questions like Who am I? Why do I act the way I do? How did I get this way? Analyzing a person's thoughts, and behavior, based on the phenomena of ego states.
Imagine a mother loudly scolding her noisy, quarrelsome children . Her voice is shrill. Her arm is tense and held high in the air . Suddenly, the phone rings and she hears a friend's voice. The mother's posture, tone, and expression begin to change. Her voice becomes well modulated. Her once tense arm lies quietly in her lap.
Imagine two factory workers angrily arguing with each other about a work problem. Their argument is animated and fierce. They look like two children fighting over a piece of candy. Suddenly they here a crash of steel followed by an agonized scream. Their entire demeanor changes. Their arguments are dropped. Their angry expression give way to concern. One hurries to see what's wrong; the other calls an ambulance. Here, the workers, as well as the mother, changed ego states. An ego state is a consistent pattern of feeling and experience directly related to a corresponding consistent pattern of behavior.
.....in this respect brain functions like a tape recorder to preserve complete experiences in serial sequence, in aform recognizable as "ego states"-indicating that ego states comprise the natural way of experiencing and of recording experiences in their totality. Simultaneously, of course, experiences are recorded in fragmented forms.......
The implications are that a person's experiences are recorded in the brain and nervous tissues. This includes everything a person experienced in childhood and incorporated from parent figures, perceptions of events and feeling associated with these events, and the distortions brought to memories. These recordings are stored as though on videotape. They can be replayed, and the event recalled and even re-experienced.
Each person has three ego states which are separate and distinct sources of behavior: the Parent ego state, the Adult ego state, and the Child ego state. These are not abstract concepts but realities. "Parent, Adult, and Child represent real people who now exist or who once exited, who have legal name and civic identities " . Ego states are colloquially termed Parent, Adult, Child .
The three ego states are defined as follows:
The Parent ego state contains the attitudes and behavior incorporated from external sources, primarily parents. Outwardly, it often is expressed towards others in prejudicial, critical, and nurturing behavior. Inwardly, it is experienced as old Parental messages which continue to influence the inner Child.
The Adult ego state is not related to a person's age. It is oriented to current reality and the objective gathering of on iformation. It is organized, adaptable, intelligent, and fanctions by testing reality, estimating probabilities and computing dispassionately.
The Child ego state contains all the impulses that come naturally to an infant. It also contains the recordings of the child's experiences, responses, and "positions" taken about self and others. It is expressed as "old" (archaic) behavior from childhood.
When you are acting, thinking, feeling as you observed your Parent to be doing, you are in your parents ego state. When you are dealing with current reality, gathering facts, and computing objectively, you are in your Adult ego state. When you are feeling and acting as you did when you were a child, you are in your Child ego state.

REPUBLIC DAY
Although India obtained its independence on August 15, 1947, it did not yet have a permanent constitution; instead, its laws were based on the modified colonial Government of India Act 1935, and the country was a Dominion, with George VI as head of state and Earl Mountbatten as Governor General. On August 29, 1947, the Drafting Committee was appointed to draft a permanent constitution, with Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar as chairman.
CHIEF GUEST
India hosts another head of state as the chief guest on this day. The strategic importance of any nation as associated by India can be easily seen in this list.
ELECTRICAL HEROES...!
Franklin flew his kite on a Philadelphia night;
He saw that lightning was electricity.
Coulomb could tell that like charges repel
By the inverse square of their distance.
Orsted saw magnetic fields make a compass needle yield
When current passed through a nearby wire.
They were electrical, electrical, electrical heroes
Volta built a source of current and named a force,
Electromotive, of course.
Ampere put a current through a pair of wires;
They attracted and repelled.
Schweigger, Poggendorff, and Cumming, led the way in measuring current
In response to magnetic fields.
They were electrical, electrical, electrical heroes
The longer the wire, the more Ohm found that EMF would drop.
The thicker the wire, the more current passed from its source to ground.
Weber and Gauss used electricity to send messages nine thousand feet.
Wheatstone proved that Ohm was right and built a sensitive resistance bridge.
Faraday changed energy from electrical to mechanical
With motion and magnets he could generate current.
Henry made electromagnets that were stronger than any others
Through electromagnetic induction.
Thompson, Lord Kelvin, created a temperature scale.
He pushed for uniform measurement standards.
They were electrical, electrical, electrical heroes
Fourier used sines and cosines to describe any signal.
Maxwell created equations that Hertz simplified.
Volts, ohms, and amps, Henries, Coulombs, and Hertz
These are units we use every day.
So the next time you measure, remember those electrical heroes;
They helped create the job you have today!
They were electrical, electrical, electrical heroes
They were electrical, electrical, electrical heroes
