What Am I

What a weird topic, it feel at the first glance. But these are the captions of the biggies in India. Both the companies have given the best value to the stake holders. They have brought millions of middle class people to a place where their dreams can be fulfilled. The first one is the motto of Reliance Industries Limited and the second one of Infosys. Let me first speak about 'Growth is Life". I am able to associate this with Reliance for sure in the aggressive mood in which they are expandint themselves into the horizons. Their growth is both vertical and horizontal. Every step that they take seem to go inline with the caption. They are providing stupendous growth to the stake holders. They are providing great growth oppurtunities for the employees. Their vision to grow in every sector is also quite evident. But, for the split that the Ambani brothers had, everything was inline with their strategy to grow, grow and grow further... Now, if I think of "Think Flat" Ia...

The eqn for the cost of oil is: Cost per barrel x no. of barrels consumed per day x 365 India's oil consumption: 4 million barrels per day Cost per barrel: $60 Total oil cost per day: $240 million = $0.24 billion per day Total cost per year: $87.6 billion If we assume the no. of barrels to be constant then, cost per barrel is the only variant in the above equation and that would decide the total cost. So a $1 increase in the barrel price would mean an additional 4 million x 365 = $1460 million = $1.46 billion dollars Similary a $10 increase would mean an additional $14.6 billion dollars of burden on our GDP. India's GDP = ~30,00,000 crores of rupees = ~30,000 billion rupees = ~$700 billion Percentage share of oil consumption in GDP = 87.6/700 = ~12.5% That means if we were to import all the oil that we are consuming, we'd be spending around 12.5% of our income on oil expenses alone. But, since we are importing "only" 70% of our oil requirements we are spending...

While I was coming on the bike just a weird thought flashed my mind that why are there such huge differences around us. Necessity is the mother of invention! Nature will always find its way... We have all these sayings which seem to reflect the general way of happenings. But, why is it that people have things which are not required for them. Even one of the mathematical laws nurturing the nature says that when things start going bad, they really go bad. It is always exponential changes that nature seems to be associated with. I observed the following contrasting things around. 1) People who are happy seem to be unite well with their family members. But people who have problems, cannot cope up with things. 2) People who are rich, in terms of money, are very calculative in their expenses. But people who are running short of money seem to always encounter things which asks for shelling out loads of money. 3) People who think a lot tend to get things which do not need brains. ...

Every one is probably associated with the term E-commerce. It is the business done online in any form. From an Indian perspective E-commerce has come long way from a revenue of around some millions of dollars to near around billion dollars. But the one that Iam going to discuss in this article is not that E-commerce, but it is the other e-commerce which every one is dreaming about i.e. "ecology" commerce. What.. ecology.. and commerce? Isn't ecology destroyed by booming business and commerce, and hence any increase in business will lead to ecological damage...So how is there e-commerce. We know about Global warming which is happening because of the increased pollutants into the air by industries. Now these emissions, called as carbon emissions, have to be reduced in order to reduce the rate of increase of global warming. So, a concept called as carbon trading has been introduced near around a decade ago. Here, industries are allocated certain share in the amount of CO2 th...

The raison d'être of this blog was that, whenever I come across with any stupid or weird thought I can simply put it down. But, so far I've been only posting my thoughts but not any of my stupid ideas:). SO, let me begin with one of them that just splashed across. What if we have a monitor which displays different things depending on the person who is watching it. Say in an organization I have a very wide screen on the top of the wall, and say, I have some goggles kind of stuff, or I have some sensors detecting the light rays coming from say X person. The moment these light rays are detected, the display is only of the things pertaining to that person. Similarly for persons y and z as well. Imagine a single wall and every one staring at the wall and working.:).. It can be extended to many folds. Even for bill boards if the technology is intelligent enough to identify the age group/sex or whatever criterion that can be configured of the person who is watching the bill board, it ...

Nowadays isn't everything about globalization? Or is it only talk and not action? Are people really interested in globalization? What does globalization stand for...? No physical barriers.. or is it like worlwideweb, where everyone has firewalls to allow people with permissions i.e. the boundaries become virtual. History dates long back.. and the one that reminds us of what big walls are built is obviously the so called "Great" wall of china. But, the trend is going the other way round. Every one though that the break down of the Berlin Wall was a hallmark in the history of globalization, but things went topsy-turvy. It was the beginning of construction of lot bigger barriers...the behemoth of all the walls being constructed is the Isreal Palestine dividing wall.. It stretches for around 800 kms nearly. Next is the proposed wall between US and Mexico... US wants to protect its boundaries from the illegal immigrants of Mexico... India is also constructing a barbed wired wa...

Is marriage a license to satisfy bodily desires? Is marriage a provision to acquire a partner for lifetime? Does marriage really act like an agreement between two mutually adjustible parties? Or is it that one of the members comprimises and is forced to comply? Our religious scriptures say that marriage is an activity for the culmination of two bodies eventually to give birth to children. The clause is raising children. As I mentioned earlier, this explanation itself was enough to justify the marriage system. Earlier People had patience and belief in the system. Every one would abide by the existing practices in the society. Yester years have gone by and every one knows the ground reality, and we are still planning to marry. And marriage has become synonymous for one to be assumed as sane. ( Has it? ). On a more personal front... I believe I owe everything to parents, coz, my existence itself is because of them. So to take care of them is my duty. When I have a very broad vision or a p...
