Randomness in life

 Some days back, we have written about the point that life is all about movement. In this article let us try to expand its footprints. 

 Whenever things go per plan we can get some assurance from our own beliefs, but when they don't it means the act of God has completely taken over. No one knows why do we originated, creation is something that is holy, no one knows how does a blade of grass originate out of a cement floor, how a flower blossoms where its fragrance arises. Of course, there can be scientific explanations to all these, they may find what is and how it is happening, but no explanation can find who is behind all this, they can't measure the creator. Borrowing words from J Krishnamurti, "The description is not the described".

 Many a time in our life we come across some random instances after which we are never the same and it changes us forever and those events act as a base. For instance, we go to a new school on the first day of a semester the person who sits beside us, the class teacher assigned is random, the place we sit is random, these events are predetermined. 

 Unknowingly or knowingly the first few impressions leave a lasting impact for the rest of the year. All our responses are conditioned based on our impressions. And we tend to live the same life again and again in the remaining days, from those events. Is it possible to live each day a wholly new day ?!

 Coming back to the point of the movement of life. Life is always free-flowing. The rivers don't flow back. And life's natural and spontaneous events bring more joy than the planned events at times. Some years back there was a Thamizh film named 'Jigardanda' on which the story revolves around a director forced to direct a movie with a gangster as the main theme actor. But as the events unfolded, the director captured the random scenes between the actual scenes shot and manipulated them a bit, turning a serious gangster theme into a comedy theme on release the film was a big hit within the film and in the box office as well. And in fact, after the movie was released, the gangster realised that people around him and outside respected him much for his funny role than he was artificially respected out of fear. This tells us an interesting perspective about life, that than thousand times of our conditioned response when we are natural and spontaneous the joy flowers in us. And life is about all these random events. Joy is our very nature.

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. This resulted in a need to store this data better, which the technology enablers started doing throughout the 20th century. So for this it needed to be stored in servers for there was a visual input and output needed. This enabled the pursu

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
