Writing this blog in very tired situation though tired by fun. Came after a friend's marriage reception and got tired after meeting so many people wearing fake smiles and glistening, bright and shining clothes.
It's very funny to attend Indian marriages but that's what (fun) we organize get together meets and other family events. If we remove this factor, then there will be no difference among it and boring typical corporate meetings.
Carrying plethora of gifts, wrapped in shining and attractive paper (although no one knows what's there behind and sometimes presenter even don't know it) enters into marriage venue. Women have their full attention on how costly and beautiful their sarees are, in comparison to others, girls and boys are busy searching for their company among crowd, giving each other signals of being singles and other sorts. Kids, don't even where they are going and for what, but one thing which is very clear in their mind is or we can say focused towards two things, one is DJ or their games and second is "ice-creams". And men, yes men how can we forget them, they enter the hall in hope of some cocktail stuff and if that's not available then they get involved in their boring topics of politics and business with their peers.
All these participants in such an event, wait eagerly for one thing, apart from various other stuffs in which they try to find their busyness or try to hide behind it, and that thing is the time of opening up of food court. While chit-chatting everyone has one eye at food court, in order to be the first one to lift up the plate and fill it with food (like priests do in Hinduism, they are served with fresh cook first and then later after he finish up his stomach filling rituals, other family members get to have something).
The moment food court opens, the whole scenario got reversed, except for bride and groom on the stage, everyone is in food court including the photographer. Sometimes, I thought there might be few people who went on dieting before attending such functions to eat to their necks.

Theory de Unemployment
"Unemployment" is a word, by which every country gets threatened of and want to reduce it, in order to improve its global outlook. Various efforts have been done in past and are still continuing, but this problem is spreading like a tumor cell, i.e., can't be removed from the economy completely.
James Tobin, defined it as "the fraction of work force unable to find work". But the question arises here that are really people want to sit idle at their homes? Are they really not interested in earning some self respect and social status & social attachment by not doing a job? or Is it the system's fault, because of which unemployment rises?
As put beautifully by John Maynard Keynes in his theory of full employment that, "The conservative belief that there is some law of nature which prevents men from being employed, that it is 'rash' to employ men, and that it is financially sound to maintain a tenth of the population in idleness for an indefinite period is crazily improbable - the sort of thing which no man could believe who had not had his head fuddled with nonsense for years and years".
Equally partners of creating such unemployment situation along with the system are potential workforce. They even don't know the difference between a job and a career. The moment they born, they got their brains filled with lots of words from inexperienced and loser people, that you should do this and you should do that. No one ever cares to ask his/her child what he/she wants to become, they just cares for what their relatives and neighbor thinks, although such people never gonna come in turbulent times to lend a hand of help.
Coming back to theory, according to my observations "the sole reason behind the high level of unemployment in any corner of this earth, is due to mismatch between skills of potential workforce and the need of potential employers". Let's look at an example to understand it in much better way, a person go for some technical course let's say MBA in any field e.g., finance. He/She spend whole two years in building and polishing up of his/her skills in that particular area and when he/she is ready to enter the corporate world, what they come across is that industry don't want MBA Finance and if they do they have a highly different job profile for that guy/girl let's say sales where he/she don't have any expertise or interest.
Continuing further to the above example, that person will left with two options, one, is to compromise with his/her interests and go for what industry is offering. This alternative is of disastrous nature to both the players. An individual will take up this job because of not getting of desired profile, due to which 100% justice to that job and organization can't be done. Also, it leads to that individual towards malpractices of fraud or forced him to left the job if he/she is highly ethical. Ultimately unemployment is created.
Second, he/she should wait for the right opportunity. Now, this alternative is highly unrealistic in practice because if such job profiles arises they goes to internal referred people or to some high class B-schools despite of giving chance to a skilled person. This will left that individual as a fresher i.e., without any experience due to which he/she will again not been able to get a good career. So unemployment again is created.
Now the question is why does it happen? The simple answer to this question is lack of trust, lack of confidence on person's skills and cost cutting measures (greed for more profits and less payouts).
But if organizations give a brainy thought to this rising problem they can create a mutually benefiting environment for themselves and for the prospective skilled people. If a person gets his interest area soon after the completion of his/her studies, he/she will definitely give 1000% to that job to make it profitable for organization and indirectly for himself too. Although company can save few thousand bucks by hiring skilled people and getting unskilled works done from them at low payouts in short term, but in long term they have to spend a lot in covering up fraudulent and erroneous works of those unsatisfied workforce.
So, in order to, improve quality of work and other standards organizations should follow effective measures to minimize the extent of this mismatch. Also, potential workforce keep their patience and should not compromise.
Always choose a "Career" not a "Job" because career is portrayed once in whole life but you can get as million jobs throughout your life. So, its in your hand how beautifully you draw your life's portray.
All the best!!!

Not for common...commonwealth...CWG
International activities which aims to integrate different economies are of crucial importance for the development of every nation on the front of increased economic development. Some of these international activities can be Olympics, Commonwealth games, conferences etc.
Now, one thinks how can these activities helps in economic development? then the answer to it is very simple, it attracts FDI into country, attracts foreign players for setting up of their businesses, employment creation, infrastructure development, spread of cultural values, boost to host country's industries, increased foreign exchange and a good image in the world's map.
Earlier, this opportunity and pleasure was vested with developed economies on the perception that since they are developed, so they will be capable of hosting such events. But now, scenario has reversed, developing and emerging economies are also been given equal opportunity to prove their mettle in hosting such events so that they can also get equal chance for development. We have lots of examples of this phenomenon around us, like China's successful hosting of olympic games, Brazil has been provided with an opportunity to host forthcoming olympic games, and India is hosting commonwealth games in FY 2010.
Reason for writing this blog is to think that are commonwealth games really able to provide above mentioned benefits. Are commonwealth games good for Indian citizens? Will commonwealth games be able to provide benefits to India? Well, after careful analysis I can say that commonwealth games are not creating any wealth for the common people, rather they are overloading them with huge price pressures in already highly inflationary conditions.
Delhi Government introduces various mandates for commonwealth games. As common people are already under high inflationary pressures thanks to slowdown in financial, economical markets and monsoon led lower supply, Delhi Government increased tax rates to cover up the funds required for the various developments. Apart from this, it raised prices on various commodities e.g., electricity, gas, pulses to vegetables.
All private buses are mandated to stop commuting during games interval. Various shopkeepers on commonwealth games track given mandate to shut down their shops during such period. Now, after seeing above facts, I am thinking whose making wealth out of these commonwealth games, ministers or common people.
Lack of planning, absence of strong leadership and lack of coordination among ministries is the sole reason behind the delay in the commonwealth project and ultimately the reason behind the fears and tears of common people. Story is still open for a good ending and let's see whether these commonwealth games will be helpful for India as they were for other economies. Will they create wealth for common people like they did for common people of other countries?

Restricted democracy
Caretaker of this nation are the ones who are behind its non-development. India is a long story of growth without development. Though various think tanks fight each other in claiming different GDP rates for every fiscal, or some white suited persons count on their votes, but no one thinks about the poor or I must say the bottom of pyramid. Thanks to Prof. Prahlad who gave this concept which helped a lot in maximizing profits by corporates but if this would have been applied to our nation's development then that day is not far where, we will also be known as the citizen of developed nation.
Still people are under-nourished, under-covered, but those caretakers sitting in their cozy and warm rooms make plans to get & retain that power. In this democratic country, who is their to listen the voices of general public until unless they protest on streets which again invite violence against those innocents.
Shouldn't be there any system who immediately take actions against the grievances of general public for whom and by whom those caretakers enjoy all their lavishes. But nobody cares.
Its really ironical to believe and look around the current situation of our system. Let's hope it will get organised and smooth as soon as possible so that living of standards in reality got to improve.

...Poetic Resignation...
Poetic Resignation
(I don't know if I should stay.)
The name is good, the brand is big
But the work I do is that of a pig
The work or the brand; what is my way?
I don't know if I should stay.
To work, they have set their own way
Nobody will care to hear what I say
My will be NULL, they wont change their way
I don't know if I should stay.
The project is in a critical stage
But to do good work, this is the age
This dilemma is killing me day by day
I don't know if I should stay.
The money is good, the place is great
But the development is at a very small rate
Should I go for the work, or wait for pay
I don't know if I should stay!
The managers don't know what they talk
The team doesn't know where they walk
That's a bad situation, what say?
I don't know if I should stay.
I can go to any other place
But what if I get the same disgrace
I can't keep switching day by day
I don't know if I should stay.
The -ves are more, the +ves are less
Then why have this unnecessary mess
No more will I walk their way,
It's all done, I won't stay.
Thanks & Regards
Employee
Reply: What I want to say? (Manager)
The decision is good or decision is bad
Only God knows still I am glad
Keep moving in life that is what I can say
If you feel right go in the same way
May god give you the work, the challenge you want
Anyway there is always a second chance
Chances are there, grab them snatch them
That is what I can say
Keep on jumping companies to get more and more and more....
That will keep you always a fore (Even to me)
From my experience I can tell you
Being in software development is like taking hell out of you
You are frustrated since you have no quality work
And you were frustrated because you had quantity work
It's always like that previous job was better than the current one
And expects the new job will be much better than this one
But what you get is a frustration level up to sun
Than you will again send the resignation like this one
This is all what I want to say
Have you completed all the formalities?
Filled the form and got it signed from department humanities (HR)
Once done you can take all your cash
But don't refer others as they will follow you're a*s.
At last I appreciate your contribution to the company
Even though there was not any....
You will keep a copy of this with you for FYI
Don't feel shy
As I also got it some time back from my old manger say Hi....
That is all what I want to say.
Thanks & Regards

...love marriage vs. arrange marriage...
This is a very hot topic in so many group discussion sessions and I don't know why they put this topic there...as it is more of person's perception about the subject matter. And perception, in turn lies in the family background, cultural environment, and and the surrounding society.
Now, there is a misconception among so called modern society that those who believe in arrange marriage are outdated and uncle types or very conservative but this is not true. As per my thinking is concerned, I prefer arrange marriage not because that I don't want to be categorized in the above said misconception.
There is a unique pleasure in getting married with someone whom you are stranger with and then converting this stranger bond into so tight that you could celebrate diamond jubilee with her. whereas in case of love marriage you already knew a person prior to your marriage and there is no surprise and fun after marriage. Let's look at the basic statistics...in arrange marriage you start your married life with your partner and start it at 0 (let's say) and then keep on living further. But in case of love marriage you already lived with your partner and spent few time so your married life start definitely starts after 10 or 20 and you are left with just 80 points which is instead 100 in the former case.
Judging a relation with someone's prior experience is really a bad practice. Unless until you have gone through it how can you judge it. A dish might look bad but it could be very tasty.
Exploring your partners' nature and understanding her feelings and taking care of her is the best and non descriptive thing in the whole world. And survey says that most of the divorces happened in case of love marriages because of non-synergistic effect between families. Because marriage is not the relation between two individuals but a strong bond between two families.
