Love marriage or Arrange Marriage?

What is the answer? Frankly speaking , I do not know. Do you have, if yes then please send the answer to me.

 

But I have answer of another question, Individual marriage or family marriage?

I will vote for family marriage.

 

You will ask, why boss?  Because, marriage is not simply a drama, it is a process, a mechanism through which bonds are created between involved parties. If the marriage is individual type, then it is a one-to-one bond. And if it is a family marriage then there is many-to-many bonds. Now you can easily find which bond will be stronger and last longer.

 

You have a doubt, why other bonds are required, when there are only two individuals involved, and only they have to scarify, and only they are affected. Ok… so the answer is “family bond is fevical ka bond, jo tutayga nahii”. Back to serious point, yes it is true, only two individual as concerned. But when the individuals decide to go for marriage, they too know that in the uncertain (world) future, there are a number of hiccups on the journey, and may be at some point of time, there bond can crack. To make the ever lasting journey, strong bond is required. This is what new couples expect at the time of marriage. And family marriage fulfill the wish, that’s it.

  

But hey dude, do not be excited, do you thing that you have found the mantra for long lasting bond. Off course, you have founded, cheers !!!

 

But dude, where is the family in this materialistic world?

Managing RMG Pool

From the day, a fresher joins Software Company, he starts cursing RMG. Probably this is the first place after HR dept in software industry, which decides one’s faith.

I have some of the interesting experience with RMG. and I am sure everyone has their own share of experience to share. And I also remember an incident in Chennai, when whole of the 2 trainee batches (Around 50 freshers) were transferred to their home location due to one of my friend had some hot issues with RMG. Oh.. Unlucky previous two batches…

Yes, thinking .. What is RMG?? Great, Resource Management Group. People in software very well know this dept. Company name this dept to their choice, but the basic work is same. A dept to manage pool of unutilized people.

Every company in India today is facing problem of bench. Again, a word quite famous in software industry, but not written any where in documented. When a person is not allocated to any project (or say dept), he remains with RMG pool. Doing nothing, just moving around, asking friends in proj, what they have done today; trying to get hold of some friend so that he/she can check mail on his/her computer; hanging around cafeteria and library at best. And worst, spoiling fresher career.

Every company will have their own story, projecting minimized figure of RMG pool. But what ever they speak, all knows the size of it. India, I think 30 % of the people are on bench.

Now my question is, can we utilize these resources (fresher) to benefit organization? Answer is, yes, it can be done.

We can have a PL(Project leader), TL(Team Lead), TL (Tech lead), PM(Project Manager) and the team members from the resources. Let them decide what they want to do, what they want to experiment, what they want to design, what they want to develop, and what they want to learn.

Have the look at the assumptions behind the idea

1. Every company wants to do R&D, but they have not succeeded so far. Because once they are allocated inside a project, they code the same piece of code once again. The monotonous work of any project is not suitable for innovation.

2. The fresh idea, in the fresher out of college is full, and they have energy, enthusiasm, boundary less idea, eager to do some thing, and determination to prove them shelf.

3. The resource in RMG pool is not productive. They seats ideal. Company just need to give them a PC, which is equivalent to their one month salary(approx).

4. People on bench got demotivated as the time pass. The energy level goes down seeing the friends and people on projects. Smart people manage them self and find place in B’schools. And some prefer browsing freshers.com.

If we could properly manage these resources, they could be a new source of talented pool, creating value for the organization. But it needs some determination and some thinking on the side of top management.

And it will not be far that, these “Resource pool” will change to “Talent pool”. Creating new channel of profit to the organization through their innovative ideas and outcome. The outcome can be as

1. White papers for organization
2. New system design
3. New innovative software products
4. R&D practice
5. Creating learning organization.

Puzzling, and thinking…, this sounds good…hmmm.. But how it can be implemented. Well the implementation model looks like this,

1. Make compulsory provision for the entire fresher in RMG pool, that they have to publish an industry study paper in a week, a suggested improvement in that particular industry. Finding problems areas in the industry, possible solution for the problems. Key issues in the industry.
The time frame for each piece of expected outcome is predetermined and als the standard for all resources is outlined.
2. There should be a pool of management, which will monitor and manage these resources, and the outcome is deliverables to the top managements from time to time. These management people can be from RMG pool as well as from some other projects (voluntarily part time) or a dedicated team of people.
3. RMG pool will be divided into a number of teams, same as the real projects, each team consisting a dedicated number of resources for entire cycle of the project. Each team having its own PL, PM, TL and etc.
4. When RMG need resources from the pool to be allocated to the client projects, they can do that at any point of time. But keeping in mind that there is optimum loss to over all work being carried by RMG pool.

And what is the outcome,
1.People will get vertical specific knowledge; introduction, problem, best in class solution, improvement ideas, and etc; even before joining any particular client project.
2. And at best condition, organization can expect useful tools, software products, innovative ideas and many more results coming out of these talented bunches of peoples.

Hope thing idea makes sense.
If any one else has more innovative idea than this, please share it.

Who Am I ? “हम के छी”, ” मै कौन हु”, ” म को हु” ?

Who Am I ?
Nepalese of Indian origin, or Indian of Nepalese origin or Bihari ??

            Who is asking the question ? This becomes very important because this is also very important question. If a person asking this question is next to my house then the question can be very interesting. But the person asking is from far land then I can only say in one word “Nepalese of Maithil origin”.

            If the person is my neighbour then I would like to re-frame this question and wants to challenge them, if you have fire in the belly and you have guts then, search and prove it. I opening declaring “I am Nepalese of Maithili Origin”.

            Let me talk about the Mithila. Word originated from Miti, a age old Saint, from whose name the kingdom Mithila was named. It is same Mithila where King Janak, father of Goddess Sita (Heroin of Hindu epic Ramayana), had their rule. The Mithila in the modern history is have good history from 10th century onward . It is the period when Maithili language was born, at the same time when other Indian subcontinent languages like Bangali, Hindi, Oriya, Gujraji, Marthi was evolving.

            Modern Mithila Kingdom had its presence as different names. Some time Mithila, Some time Tirhut, Some time Makwanpur and so on. The ancient geography of Mithila region stretched from Koshi river, to Ganga river to Himalaya to Braj bhumi.

            In the modern history of Nepal during Mallas dynasty, people were Maithili speaking, and most of the kings were writer too. Many of the literature of Maithili are today available in Maithili in library in Kathmandu.

            Makwanpur in its time was the most prosperous Kingdom of the region. Makwanpur had its origin even before the Nepal kingdom was born. King Prithivinarayan Shah (The founder of Nepal) was quite intelligent and married the Princeses, Sri Chautaria Maharani Indra Kumari Devi, of Makwanpur. The King at that time was Sri Sri Sri Maharaja Hemkarna Sen, Maharaja of Makwanpur. In this way Prithivinarayan shah was able to integrate Mithila region, belonging to Makwanpur, to the modern Nepal.

            And with this integration, Sri Maharaja Hemkarna Sen, Maharaja of Makwanpur and Prithivinarayan Shah wrote a history whose undesirable consequences are seen today.

            Though Makwanpur was integrated in Nepal, its integration was just Geographical. The cultural and historical(past history) integration has never occured. People of Mithila Kingdom were never accepted in the mainstream of Nepal. They were never given the administrative power. The result is today’s divided psychology of Nepalese. People of then Makwanpur kingdom are treated as “outside” in decent term. But many other terms are given to these people. To list some of them, Madhesia ( Means People of Madhyadesh, land between Himalaya and mainland Indian Subcontinent), Terai Basi ( People leaving in Terai region, term given by English people during their rule), Nepalese of Indian origin  (term used by most of the non-maithil people of Nepal), Indian of Nepalese origin ( as Govt of other country other than Nepal treats), Bihari ( Gautum Budha Started their journey from these places, Bihars become the associated name with these lands).

            In the name of the National structuring, and whatever you can say( a long term discriminating vision or planning of the state), lands from Maithili were taken some 50 years back and distributed to non Maithili of Nepal. In this way Govt did good job in creating more harmony among the peoples of Maithili and non-Maithili. Once the productivity of fertile soil of Mithila was know to others the density of non-Maithili continued to grow. Non-Maithili and the Govt made very good arrangement and maithils started being neglected even on their own land.

            Gradually the time came when Maithili were labeled as “Nepalese of Indian Origin”. Now the so called “Nepalese of Indian Origin”, is being asked to return back to their state. I am asking which state ? Makwanpur or Mithila, or India. Was is not a long term strategic vision of state and the people for giving the tag “Nepalese of Indian Origin”. Line “People of Indian origin” is mostly used for NRI( Non Resident Indians, whose forefather had once lived in Indian Land. Now the question is what should Maithils do with the tag ” Nepalese of Indian origin “.

            Should the Maithils, the people of Makwanpur kingdom, now start asking the question ” Where they are from” ?; “Where is their origin?”; “Where should they now start to go?”, or “What should be their demand from the current state ?” If  Kingdom and Non-Maithils  are listening,  I am demanding, return back their Old Makwanpur Kingdom. People will be manage to live with their Makwanpur kingdom. They will try to become happy with what they are left with.

            And the time will surely come when people will start raising this question,Where is “My” Makwanpur State? Return It Back to Me ?

            This article I have written in the time , when highly educated people are also raising the question of “Nepalese of Indian Origin”. One of my classmate in post graduate today made me realize that, the issue is how much burning through out Nepalese Kingdom, irrespective of the intellectual level.

Valmiki did not commit any error - Part II

Valmiki did not commit any error

Author: Saroj Bala
Publication: The Pioneer
Date: October 13, 2003
In Valmiki Ramayan it is mentioned that Shri Ram’s army constructed a bridge over the sea between Rameshwaram and Lanka. After crossing this bridge, Shri Ram’s army had defeated Ravana. Recently, NASA put pictures (reproduced here) on the Internet of a man-made bridge, the ruins of which are lying submerged in Palk Strait between Rameshwaram and Sri Lanka. Recently the Sri Lankan Government had expressed the desire to develop Sita Vatika as a tourist spot. Sri Lankans believe this was Ashok Vatika where Ravana had kept Sita as a prisoner (in 5076 BC).
Indian history has recorded that Shri Ram belonged to the Suryavansh and he was the 64th ruler of this dynasty. The names and other relevant particulars of previous 63 kings are listed in Ayodhya Ka Itihas written about 80 years ago by Rai Bahadur Sita Ram. Professor Subhash Kak of Lousiana University, in his book, The Astronomical Code of the Rig Veda, has also listed 63 ancestors of Shri Ram who ruled over Ayodhya. Sri Ram’s ancestors have been traced out as: Shri Ram, King Dashratha, King Aja, King Raghu, King Dilip and so on. From Kashmir to Kanyakumari and from Bengal to Gujarat, everywhere people believe in the reality of Shri Ram’s existence, particularly in the tribal areas of Himachal, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and the North-East. Most of the festivals celebrated in these areas revolve around the events in the life of Shri Ram and Shri Krishna.
The events and places related to the life of Shri Ram and Sita are true cultural and social heritage of every Indian irrespective of caste and creed. Therefore, it is common heritage. After all, Shri Ram belonged to the period when Prophet Mohammed or Jesus Christ were not born and Muslim or Christian faiths were unknown to the world. The words Hindu (resident of Hindustan) and Indian (resident of India) were synonymous. India was also known as Bharat (land of knowledge) and Aryavarta (where Aryans live) and Hindustan (land of “Hindus” - derived from word Indus).
During Ram Rajya, the evils of caste system based on birth were non-existent. In fact, Maharishi Valmiki is stated to be of shudra class (scheduled caste), still Sita lived with him as his adopted daughter after she was banished from Ayodhya. Luv and Kush grew in his ashram as his disciples. We need to be proud of the fact that Valmiki was perhaps the first great astronomer and that his study of planetary configurations has stood the test of times. Even the latest computer softwares have corroborated his astronomical calculations, which proves that he did not commit any error.
Shabari is stated to be belonging to the Bheel tribe. Shri Ram’s army, which succeeded in defeating Ravana, was formed by various tribals from Central and South India. The facts, events and all other details relating to the life of Shri Ram are the common heritage of all the Indians including scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, Muslims, Christians, etc.
Prophet Mohammad was born 1,400 years ago. Jesus Christ was born 2,000 years back. Gautam Buddha was born 2,600 years back, whereas Ram was born 7,000 years back. Hence, discovering the details relating to Shri Ram’s life would be lot more difficult as destruction caused by floods, earthquakes and invasions etc., would be far greater. But, should that stop our quest for learning more about our cultural heritage?
As Indians, let us all take pride in the fact that the Indian civilisation is the most ancient civilisation today. It is certainly more than 10,000 years old. Therefore, let us reject the story of Aryan invasion in India in 1,500 BC as motivated implantation. In fact Max Mueller, who was the creator of this theory had himself rejected it. Let us admit that during the British Rule, we were educated in the schools based on Macaulay school of thinking which believed that everything Indian was inferior and that entire “Indian literature was not worth even one book rack in England”. If there were similarities in certain features of Indian people and people from Central Europe, then automatic inference drawn was that the Aryans coming from Europe invaded India and settled here. No one dared of thinking in any other way. Therefore, there is urgency for the historians and all other intellectuals to stop reducing Indian history to myth. There is need to gather, dig out, search, unearth and analyse all the evidences, which would throw more light on ancient Indian civilisation and culture.
There is need for the print and the electronic media to take note of these facts and create atmosphere which would motivate our young and educated youth to carry out research and unearth true facts about the ancient Indian civilisation and wisdom and would also encourage them to put across the results of their research before the people fearlessly and with a sense of pride!

Ram was for real - Part-I

Ram was for real 

Author: Saroj Bala
Publication: The Pioneer
Date: October 11, 2003 

We Indians are the products of one of the oldest civilisations. We need to be really proud of our ancient history and cultural heritage. However, during the British Rule, we developed an inferiority complex, which adversely affected our quest to unearth facts relating to our glorious past. But our young and educated men and women, born and brought up in independent India, are capable of unearthing the true facts and are confident enough to evaluate these objectively.
 
Shri Ram being most basic to Indian “ethos”, it is necessary to know who is Shri Ram? Was he really born? If yes, when and where? As is believed by crores of people did he really put his feet on the Indian territory from North to South, reducing the sufferings of mankind and ensuring victory of good over evil? Let us take a look at historical facts:
 
The story of Shri Ram’s life was first narrated by Maharishi Valmiki in the Ramayana, which was written after Shri Ram was crowned as the king of Ayodhya. Maharishi Valmiki was a great astronomer as he has made sequential astronomical references on important dates related to the life of Shri Ram indicating the location of planets vis-a-vis zodiac constellations and the other stars (nakshatras). Needless to add that similar position of planets and nakshatras is not repeated in thousands of years. By entering the precise details of the planetary configuration of the important events in the life of Shri Ram as given in the Valmiki Ramayan in the software named “Planetarium” corresponding exact dates of these events according to the English calendar can be known. 

Mr Pushkar Bhatnagar of the Indian Revenue Service had acquired this software from the US. It is used to predict the solar/lunar eclipses and distance and location of other planets from earth. He entered the relevant details about the planetary positions narrated by Maharishi Valmiki and obtained very interesting and convincing results, which almost determine the important dates starting from the birth of Shri Ram to the date of his coming back to Ayodhya after 14 years of exile.
 
Maharishi Valmiki has recorded in Bal Kaand sarga 19 and shloka eight and nine (1/18/8,9) that Shri Ram was born on ninth tithi of Chaitra month when the position of different planets vis-a-vis zodiac constellations and nakshatras (visible stars) were: i) Sun in Aries; ii) Saturn in Libra; iii) Jupiter in Cancer; iv) Venus in Pisces; v) Mars in Capricorn; vi) Lunar month of Chaitra; vii) Ninth day after no moon; viii) Lagna as Cancer (cancer was rising in the east); ix) Moon on the Punarvasu (Gemini constellation & Pllux star); x) Day time (around noon).
 
This data, was fed into the software. The results indicated that this was exactly the location of planets/stars in the noon of January 10, 5114 BC. Thus Shri Ram was born on January 10, 5114 BC (7117 years back). As per the Indian calendar it was the ninth day of Shukla Paksha in Chaitra month and the time was around 12 to 1 noontime. This is exactly the time and date when Ram Navmi is celebrated all over India.
 
Shri Ram was born in Ayodhya. This fact can be ascertained from several books written by Indian and foreign authors before and after the birth of Christ - Valmiki Ramayan, Tulsi Ramayan, Kalidasa’s Raghuvansam, Baudh and Jain literature, etc. These books have narrated in great detail the location, rich architecture and beauty of Ayodhya which had many palaces and temples built all over the kingdom. Ayodhya was located on the banks of the Saryu river with Ganga and Panchal Pradesh on one side and Mithila on the other side. Normally 7,000 years is a very long period during which earthquakes, storms, floods and foreign invasions change the course of rivers, destroy the towns/buildings and alter the territories. Therefore, the task of unearthing the facts is monumental. The present Ayodhya has shrunk in size and the rivers have changed their course about 40 km north/south.
 
Shri Ram went out of Ayodhya in his childhood (13th year as per Valmiki Ramayan) with Rishi Vishwamitra who lived in Tapovan (Sidhhashram). From there he went to Mithila, King Janaka’s kingdom. Here he married Sita after breaking Shiv Dhanusha. Researchers have gone along the route adopted by Shri Ram as narrated in the Valmiki Ramayan and found 23 places which have memorials that commemorate the events related to the life of Shri Ram. These include Shringi Ashram, Ramghat, Tadka Van, Sidhhashram, Gautamashram, Janakpur (now in Nepal), Sita Kund, etc. Memorials are built for great men and not for fictitious characters.
 
Date of exile of Shri Ram: It is mentioned in Valmiki Ramayan’s Ayodhya Kand (2/4/1 that Dashratha wanted to make Shri Ram the king because Sun, Mars and Rahu had surrounded his nakshatra, and normally under such planetary configuration the king dies or becomes a victim of conspiracies. Dashratha’s zodiac sign was Pisces and his nakshatra was Rewati. This planetary configuration was prevailing on the January 5, 5089 BC, and it was on this day that Shri Ram left Ayodhya for 14 years of exile. Thus, he was 25 years old at that time (5114-5089). There are several shlokas in Valmiki Ramayan which indicate that Shri Ram was 25-years-old when he left Ayodhya for exile.
 
Valmiki Ramayan refers to the solar eclipse at the time of war with Khardushan in later half of 13th year of Shri Ram’s exile. It is also mentioned it was amavasya day and Mars was in the middle. When this data was entered, the software indicated that there was a solar eclipse on October 7, 5077 BC, (amavasya day) which could be seen from Panchvati. The planetary configuration was also the same - Mars was in the middle, on one side were Venus and Mercury and on the other side were Sun and Saturn. On the basis of planetary configurations described in various other chapters, the date on which Ravana was killed works out to be December 4, 5076 BC, and Shri Ram completed 14 years of exile on January 2, 5075 BC, and that day was also Navami of Shukla Paksha in Chaitra month. Thus Shri Ram had come back to Ayodhya at the age of 39 (5114-5075). 

A colleague, Dr Ram Avtar, researched on places visited by Shri Ram during his exile, and sequentially moved to the places stated as visited by Shri Ram in the Valmiki Ramayan, starting from Ayodhya he went right upto Rameshwaram. He found 195 places which still have the memorials connected to the events narrated in the Ramayana relating to the life of Shri Ram and Sita. These include Tamsa Tal (Mandah), Shringverpur (Singraur), Bhardwaj Ashram (situated near Allahabad), Atri Ashram, Markandaya Ashram (Markundi), Chitrakoot, Pamakuti (on banks of Godavari), Panchvati, Sita Sarovar, Ram Kund in Triambakeshwar near Nasik, Shabari Ashram, Kishkindha (village Annagorai), Dhanushkoti and Rameshwar temple.

Socimetrol

Socimetrol =>  soci(eta)l + metro  

Since Delhi metro started is operation in Dec-2002, it has not seen it back. The success story has just multiplied day by day. The acceptance of Delhi Metro as mass commuter has increased many fold. People have started experiencing the so called world call transportation system. With the given pace, we can expect, after some decade, to replace the existing suffocating old railway too. The rolling metro has also started pulling us toward citizen of tomorrow’s “Socimetrol” society. Lets being with some story behind this blog idea.     Yesterday I was on the way to habitat center from hostel. Driver didn’t have clear idea about the road map. So he preferred to take us along the ring road instead of some short known to some one. This was not the fist time I was peeping trhough the window of the bus. Some other friends were also traveling . One of our friend suddenly discovered a white building, very nice, well maintained, looking like maharaja palace. He got to know that it is Delhi Vidhan sabha. Traveling in a reserved bus with your friend is very interesting, that is what I feel. And if you are in the ring road around ITO, ISBT then you get to see a lot of greenery around. Yamuna along the ring road magnifies the excitement. One of the most green and beautiful place is RajGhat, the place where mortal remains of Mahatma Gandhi were cremated. Looking such a magnificent place, one among us the name of the place. And other asked about the importance of the place. After that series of name suggestions started pouring. Rajghat- Mahatma Gandhi?? Vijayghat Mahatma_ghandhi?? Rajghat-Indira Ghandi, Rajeev Ghandhi?? Different ideas came. And then came a billboard stating Rajghat as Mahatma Ghandhi Samadhi.   These are only some of the trailers of future time that next generation is going see. There is no point of blaming the next generation for (literally) what they will not be able to apprehend. It is the current generation digging tunnel for them to pass through it. No freedom to think “where else there can be possibility”. Only making them focus on the destination, no time to peep outside window.

  Not only Vidhan Sabha and Rajghat, but there are a lot many thing which next generation will be able to find it. Indian Train transient market will be one of them. a old man with a aluminium tea kettle saying “Garma garam Chai“; a young boy crying ” Chana, Chana, Timepass, Timepass“; next one with lalus clay pot  “Coffee, Coffee“, and garm chat-pat, nau masala, barah(12) swada wala “Jhal Murhee, Jhal Murhi” will be forgotton voices altogether. Book stores and Magazine wala will find some other route for there survival. One of the most down to earth song of bollywood, Big B’s turning point lyrics “Shaari Duniya aa bojh hum oothatey hai” will have to go through DJ remix to find old place. A new society in metro culture will then discuss “Socimetrol“.
Delhi metro is different from its counter part in India in different ways. (Kolkata metro is almost same as Delhi metro). Metros are generally operating few hundred feet below underground. You will hardly get lights passing through the tunnel. People rushing for accelerator; Billboards and Advertising banners out side to peep; Dark looming most of the time, on plateform and on the way. And a special voice accompanying you “Please mind the gap”; “aagla station chauwri bazar hai”; “aapna saman leyjana na bholey”; “Thank you”. These monotonous voice accompanying you through one directional (I will prefer to say directional less) journey. No ease , no west, no south, no north.
  

New social norms will be evolved, new economic model will be developed, new breed of culture will be accepted. At this junction of time Old people will wonder, where has the directionless tunnel led the next generation to ??

Heritage of ‘Ctrl + C’ & ‘Ctrl + V’

 

“Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V” is quite common practice in Indian glamorous intellectual. If the success story of Indian brand in Foreign places is to be considered, “Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V” has played a major roll. Do you know India for the first time had its trade surplus, Why ?? Guess:). Ans is  Due to “Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V”.  Yes, if today’s Indian Software market is to be seen, then “Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V” have helped our software developer immensely. Young, dynamic, brilliant, intelligent developer inside IT industry knows how to use “Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V” efficiently and effectively (another phrase in B-school). Yes, popular Quote goes “Work smart, not hard“. I have always been fan of “Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V”, since the day I touched keyboard.  When did I start using keyboard??? Any guesses!!! 2nd semester. But you will wonder how? Any guess, Copy paste (smart answer??).  When we had assignment for our C programs, only some of the fandu guys can crack the problems. Rest people (like us) use to do smart work. Copy the program on your hard disk, and start changing the Variables & Functions names (and if required change some logic as well). And your smart work is over. This smart work paid off till we passed of our college.

         Do you think, only Computer Guys can do smart work??? Then you are wrong. We inculcated this culture from first semester of college. Only the form was different. We had engineering drawing practical session compulsory for all Engg student (irrespective of the branch). Then we inherited the culture of TOPO (in some colleges it is known as topa or what ever u say). Again a fundu guy does hard work drawing sheet, rest will make sketch of it. I think topo is the short for topology (wordweb definition of topology: The branch of pure mathematics that deals only with the properties of a figure X that hold for every figure into which X can be transformed with a one-to-one correspondence that is continuous in both directions).

   But thinking back to school days (or even in the college, we called it as chothaa in RECD), we find that, topo idea was just a extension of copying notebook.

 Observing carefully, we see that, each one of us, till college life, have tried to do their work smartly, and off course by bringing different methodology in their core competency( drawing for Mech Engg, Coding for Comp Engg, hand written assignment for all of us).

 What do you think, people stops smart working after engineering. Hmmm… no no donot think so, they are so brilliant, how can B-school grads do it ?( Even if they want, How can they?) Their core competency is said to be in PowerPoint presentation. Well I do not want to answer it. Ask some B-grads to give a presentation on this topic, and find it your self.

 But the bottom line, is “Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V” culture only with software people, or Engg grade, or in secondary school. I think it is more to do with Indian mind set. Have anyone thought, why we are not able to develop products in IT sector (in which we pat our self). It is more to do with “Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V” mentality. We understand how to manage their source codes, but we don’t develop or suggest our model to suit their application. We feel easy in copying their model and suggesting on the similar line. That is why I think, we are best in application maintenance rather than product development. Only due to “Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V” mentality, I will say, we are more confident in copy concatenating western culture too (a very controversial topic, will discuss some other day).

We need to change the “Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V” psychology, if we want India to be the leader (as B-schools inspire us to be) country in world, because, follower cannot inculcate leadership quality.
