Just Thinking

I know the title is a little techie but the concept is really simple. Before getting to the concept I would like to share my thoughts about what I have observed around me and how this concept came to my mind through that. Our world is full of inequalities, some deliberate and some forced on it. A rich guy lives in a house with 40 bedrooms and some families don't even have a 40 sq.ft. room for themselves. During rains some guy enjoys the newspaper in a BMW driven by a chauffeur, who is worried about the leak in the roof of his house. 50rs means a burger in McD for somebody and rice for a whole week, for someone else. This inequality is not unfair but is cruel. The simple rule of our world is 'Survival of the fittest'. When we think about it, it's all about the resources that are available to us. Resources can be financial, physical or human. Some people enjoy larger amount of resources than other people. If these resource were equally available then this world woul...

I know. The title itself raises some questions. Politics is not a career. It's a service. Right? How many of us think so? Let's be practical, It is a career and it is may be one of the highest paying line of work in India. If that is true then why such a huge amount of teenagers are studying to be engineers and doctors when the jobs they are going to get into won't even have a fraction of the pay scale that politics will give them? Not only money but the powers and perks a politician has are more than corporate giant. A politician is not only the one you vote for. If we count the number the employees currently employed in Indian politics, it may come into the top 3 employers in India. There are many levels of politicians, starting right from our neighborhood, going up to the big chair in New Delhi. As the level increases, the pay scale increases. It works similar to any corporate firm. Managers can easily relate to politicians. May be that's why I am writing this blog....

Our PM, Mr. Narendra Modi gave the Independence day speech from The Red Fort. He spoke about women empowerment, Poverty, make in India and many other issues. The focus was on macro level strategies to be implemented for a better future. Such kind of strategy is his responsibility . But we are facing some issues on a very micro level which is deteriorating the strength of our nation. These issues today may seem very minute or manageable, but after a few decades they may take a gigantic piece out of our strength and development. There is something very wrong going on at a very micro level i.e. individual level. These I have termed as the challenges that may come in front of the NextGen India i.e. India in 2020-2030. There are many such issues but we will discuss only 3.  1. Brain Drain : The term is not new. Brain drain is the phenomenon to human capital's movement from it's home country to foreign country in search of better education, job opportunity or some other reason. So, ...

Most of us think that India is divided in two parts, rural and urban, but it is much more complex than that. There are various levels between a village and a city. A city is generally which provides it's residents with all the facilities needed to lead a desired life. These facilities are not only infrastructural or tangible provisions but are also supporting measures like job opportunities, healthcare facilities, schooling options for kids, better recreational options, etc. It is very easy for a big city guy to ignore this things but when a village or small city friend visits him, these are the things that light up his eyes.  Now, what is a small city? What I feel about small cities is, they are like a student who is average in studies. He is loaded with expectations of getting into the topper's group and at the same time has the pressure of sliding into the lower class. I know the comparison is a little unorthodox but for an average student like me, it is perfect. Getti...

Every MBA course has a 2 or more months of industrial intern-ship embedded in it or at least mine was. This is the sole reason why I came in contact with e-Zest Solutions. The whole intern-ship thing started to take shape during the early summer of this year i.e 2014. Intern-ship is generally not taken that seriously and is just a matter of the completion certificate for few, but I was very much interested in the whole experience. The first interview that I gave was of KPIT and I was not selected. Somewhere at the back of my mind I decided that I needed to go in an IT company for the intern-ship.So, the next company I applied for was e-Zest Solutions Ltd. Frankly speaking, I had never heard of the company but as long as it was Pune and IT, I was fine.4 people were called for the interview and I alone got selected. There was no actual celebration but I was happy. The intern-ship started on June 2nd. Not much happened on the first day. But second day on wards it was a roller coaster. I...

We live in a world of perfection. A world where perfection is worshiped, desired, praised. No one wants to fail or commit smallest of mistakes. Student want to achieve the highest grade, employees want to grab the highest incentives, parents want there children to ace in exams and at the same time want them to be good at sports. Everyone wants to do the right thing, at the right time, at the right place in the perfect manner. No one wants to fail or rather no one wants to be wrong. So why we feel so? The answer lies in the core reason behind all our actions, 'What the world will think of us?' We don't want to be seen as a failure or looser. We are ready to do anything to avoid one bad thing said about us or to achieve the so called perfection. Another reason could be, we don't want to be different. Those who are different are talked about, criticized. not supported, looked at differently. We don't want a crowd to stare at us or to talk about us, right. We live for...

Criticism is generally of two types, positive and negative. But this definition is only limited to the way it is intended. The effect though of any criticism is almost the same in both cases, which is sadness, feeling low, depression, some might even feel agitated, even rage at some extent. Criticism normally puts the criticized off balance. This shows that criticism might not hold great value for the criticizer but effects immensely to the criticized, however small the criticism might be. Thus, we can call criticism as a luxury for the criticizer where a very little prize is paid by him/her. I am calling it a luxury for one more reason; the act of criticism is enjoyed by most of the critics. The authority to criticize generally gives them a sense of power over the criticized. The point I want to make here is the current ratio of appreciations to criticism around the world is dropping at a very huge rate. Let’s not get into the state where the criticism will be done, just for the p...
