K's revelation in early 1980's on computers

 Yesterday happened to see a public talk from K which happened in Ojai, California 1984 giving the link here, the talk on this subject starts after 40 minutes into the talk.

K's discussion on this starts after 40 minutes

Wherein K says the computers are taking and our daily jobs (the 1980s) would be replaced by computers and robots. Not sure if everyone who was listening were taking it seriously. But certainly, it is revealing. Also, he provides insights that since most of these daily tasks, for example, calculator taking over in a shop for billing, the human brain becomes less and less active, and hence would be seeking different forms of entertainment, which has very become true day as people running on Friday evenings and weekends to get a breather from the routine in different forms.

 And interestingly when we die to each moment and are reborn again in our psychological lives, which is the means of liberation. The same is applicable in the long run to our learnings to forget old and learn new things in the forthcoming professional areas. 

But that is not the intention of K in any way, his only intention was to set man absolutely free. The means of which is to not carry any burden by living and dying to each moment as it happens.

My memories with MS Dhoni

My memories with MS Dhoni : In December 2004, during a half yearly holidays in my high school he came in as a fashionable young wicket keeper, had seen many specialist keepers come and go in that period such as Parthiv Patel, DK, Ajay Ratra, Deep Dasgupta, so was not having any awe in him and getting a run out in hurried manner wasn't an impressive first showing. Was ignorant of the facts behind then, that he came from 3 centuries with India A in Kenya. Slowly as the days progressed, one rainy noon on the summer of April 2005, came back from an Annual exam to see India scoring more than 300 runs in the ODI against Pakistan in Vizag, from the scorecard saw that there was a change in batting order with MS Dhoni at 3 scoring 148 runs at a quick pace, but even then didn't have an awe in him. Days progressed through 2005, near a Deepavali day I was having a holiday, there was an ongoing ODI series against Sri Lanka, the series was already decided with India had won it comfortably al

Transformation of data and analytics with information technology

The world we are in is driven by data. In other words, Data has been the backbone behind this transformation with technology. In the early days, trade was driven purely by commodity exchange for which the data was captured in numerics. Later, after the invention of coins and subsequently printed money the idea of market expanded with the printed money being able to be a common currency. For this study, let us take the emergence of the United States' economy. From the advent of market economy starting 19th century, consequently there was a need for a banking system and public investment through stock markets and US had higher flow of goods and services, enabling a larger consumer base which meant the data was saved in paper and pen.

India's Economy - Thinking through the Journey and the Road Ahead

What comes into our mind when we first hear the word 'India'? Diversity? More than 1000 year old monuments? A land of wisdom? Crowded places? The skyscrapers, fast highways may come as the last pictures in one's memory. India has always been a great place for pilgrimages wherein people come in the quest to understand the true meaning of the life that has been given to them. People of India come from the ethnicity of saving and trying to live a life with contentment. But this contentment has been slowly fading in the age of consumerism. Let us see the journey of India economy and its chances of blooming in the future. The Journey: Years 1947 to 1990 :  After Independence, India had adapted the socialist and protectionist principles mainly assuming that adapting capitalism would be letting something similar to East Indian Company through the back door after attaining independence. So the state was keen to keep all the powers and licenses of businesses under its co
