 Today, there is more discussion all over the world about the rapid evolution of AI especially among the middle age group. Some people are scary of it and some people want to embrace it. There is a famous saying, "Everybody wants change, but no one wants to change". Wondering when the use of calculators and slowly computers were evolving, most certainly people would have spoken about them also in the same tone. It might take away jobs so and so, it is the next big thing. If we look back in hindsight, the calculators and computers have increased human productivity, only thing it has made the human brains dull in certain ways. Though it might have replaced certain jobs, but if we take a simple use case the billing is still done by a human, the calculators and computers enable to it more accurately and efficiently. Similarly, AI could also be a great enabler for humanity, the relativity of human dependence might come down in some areas, but it should go up in other areas to make...

 கடந்த சில காலமாக நாம் அரசியல் சார்ந்த பதிவுகளை போடுவதில்லை, கிருஷ்ணாஜியின் தாக்கத்தால், ஏனெனில் அரசியல் ஒரு எல்லைக்கு மேல் மக்களை பிரித்து ஆளவே பயன்படுகிறது ஒவ்வொரு இயக்கத்தாலும் தங்களுக்கு ஏற்றாற் போல். வலது என்றால் இடது முளைக்கும், இடது என்றால் வலது முளைக்கும். மனிதர்கள் முழுமையாக ஒன்றினைய அனைத்து அடையாளங்களையும் துறந்தால் மட்டுமே சாத்தியம். இருப்பினும் 75வது சுதந்திர தினத்தின் நினைவாக பெரும் பகுதியினரிடம் இருந்து மறைக்கப்பட்ட, மறக்கடிக்கப்பட்ட  ஒரு பிரதமருக்கான நன்றியுரையாக இப்பதிவினை தொடர்கிறோம். இவருக்கு முன்னால் இரண்டு ஆண்டுகளில் இரண்டு ஆட்சிகள், இவருக்கு பின்னால் நான்காண்டுகளில் நான்கு ஆட்சிகள், நடுவில் இவருடைய ஐந்தாண்டு ஆட்சி. இது அந்த காலகட்டத்தில் இருந்த நிலையற்ற அரசியல் தன்மையையும், அவரின் அரசியல் சாதுர்யத்தையும் காட்டுகின்றது. இவர் பிரதமராக பதவி ஏற்ற போது இன்று ஏறக்குறைய இலங்கையில் இருக்கும் பொருளாதார சூழல் போன்றது, நாடு அன்று மிகவும் நெருக்கமாக இருந்த சோவியத் யூனியன் விழுந்த தருணம், வளைகுடா யுத்தம் காரணமாக கச்சா எண்ணெய் விலை உயர்வால் பணவீக்கம், கட்சியின் தலைவர் த...

 அசைபவனவற்றை (உடல்) நோக்குவதற்கு உள்ள ஆர்வம், அந்த அசைவை இயக்குபவரை (உயிர்) உணர்வதற்கு நமக்கு ஆர்வம் உள்ளதா? 

 A programmer is essentially a problem solver !  Rest all things such as the language, the tool and so on, may come second !

 A leader's success lies in making not oneself alone successful, but enabling the followers successful and transforming them into leaders in their own right.

 The lesser the browsers you have opened, the more productive you are. Might have referred to this anecdote earlier in the blog, but still, when we juggle between thoughts too fast we don't see anything clear, just like when we tune a FM radio too fast all we hear is only the disturbance, but when we tune it down slowly we arrive at the right channels.

 Get a feeling that the 2K kids might consider life as a T20 game, as things for them appear in a click.  The 90s kids might consider it has an ODI game, kind of mild wait and sudden surges.  On the other hand, the people born before that especially in India might consider life as a test match.  In reality, though T20 and ODI may look attractive from the outside, the test cricket is what tests the physical and psychological capability of a cricketer. Similarly, life, in the long run, is like a test match, at times you to play out a few sessions out with grit, for many easy sessions shall come to us post that.  A request to readers, to leave feedback on this!

   When a woman or a man marries, does she/he marry the person or the possessions that accompany her/him? Though it may sound a bit direct, this is directly proportional to the depth of the relationship.     In reality, certain minimum possessions are necessary outwardly to lead a life. If one may look into this deeply, it can be clear that beyond the outward superficiality, it is the personality connect from within that enriches the relationship.

 In this article we are going to interpret the different transitions that have happened in India, post-liberalisation through the prism of so-called 90's kids, specifically the middle band of the '90s (1994 to 1997) with background about their predecessors. People born in '40s,'50s :   First, we will try to understand the lifestyle of people born in the '40s, '50s of the 20th century in India. Those days the houses weren't electrified except a few, and the mobility between places was not much. The means of communication was typically through in-person meetings (or) through messengers. Gradually they moved onto postcards (or) inland letters after middle age (late 20's). There was no television but only transistors that too shared ones in a street, Most of them from were an agricultural background for occupation. They lived in a slow and steady lifestyle, typically in the countryside with a lot of sharing practices amongst them. People born in '60s,...
