It was 8.30 am in 2002 on a Monday morning in Shanghai. I was excited for a tech meeting we were about to have. Every Monday we all members got to share our last weeks achievements. Scott from sales told me that he got a new account with a hotel ( I think it was Sheraton ) for our IT development services. I thought this was great for our company. However my views were not shared by our manager who was expecting another two accounts the week  before. I felt sorry for the sales team. I then learn a very … Continue reading →

The yellow line going across is the border between the two countries ( which were one ) .  Wars within and from outside have taken a toll but fear not as we will prevail. My prayers are with you Delhi      

Taming a horse is an art and requires alot of skill. You need to gain the trust of the horse. This is done by following the horse as it tries to run away from you only to find you in its stride each time. Eventually it tires off and then accepts you as part of the herd. The financial crisis is a wild horse and we need to tame it. Over the past decades we have witnessed many financial bubbles and thing will keep on getting worse as greed ( the wild horse ) needs to be tamed. My Horse … Continue reading →

Have you played twister ? The games difficulty level increases as the amount of people play it. The same hold with nations and their National Interests. The more nations you have the more conflicts of national interests will take place. As more nations become progressively developed their aspirations will increase and so will their National Interest conflict. In the future the concept of nations will be absolete due to this. Instead we should divide the world based on something neutral like climate or race or our favourite football team. So if we have only 6 nations in the world we … Continue reading →

At first we had the barter system which caused alot of headaches and then we got the monetary system. This system is not 100% efficient ask any economist. As countries put barriers in trade and control valuations to their currency we have issues which we sacrifice growth. Don’t get me wrong its the best system we have. The big blue ( IBM) came up in the news. They don’t come up as often as google or facebook but when they do they sure have a good story to tell. Well big blues computer managed to beat humans in a game … Continue reading →

So we work hard to make money and this money is suppose to help us by things and happiness.  Seems very simple forumla but even children at the age of 10 have already figured out that this concept is broken. Its important to have access to money and goods and services but its not the whole picture. The answer can be found in the question. If we ask our selves what makes us happy then we will conclude that pursuit of pleasure makes us happy. We will notice that buying a new car , clothes or a house gives us … Continue reading →

I have cheated many times in my life. People cheat all the time I would go out a limb and say that everybody cheats. Everyone has a moral compass which they will use to measure what they would cheat for and what they will not cheat for. So its best to assume that your new incentive system will have people who will cheat. Why do people cheat ? People cheat because of what is at stake. I have cheated in my school as I knew getting a better score will help me do well in life the stake was very … Continue reading →

There are obvious reasons: The amount of accidents will reduce due to human error We will have more time to ourselves Finally we can live like the Jetsons The question that kept on coming in my mind was why is google developing a car that can drive ? Should not that be the job of guys at Ford ? hmm.. then I watched a movie called “The … Continue reading →

My aunt was a school teacher and when I was small used to tell me old war stories and about heroes who fought for honour and I still remember how each story would take me to that time and I was so enclosed by the whole idea that it would keep me occupied for days if not weeks. After a few years of hearing these stories I learnt about world war one and two and I was pretty disgusted as it was more about jealousy and greed than anything kind of honour. So I went up to my all knowing … Continue reading →

I was in china recently and I always found myself a bit disturbed. I could not figure what was wrong with me. Everywhere I went I felt out of place and not in my element. When I got home and I realised what it was. It was the noise. The noise from the cars , people and the general activity of things. So that got me thinking is noise necessary and a good indication of growth and prosperity. Below I have listed some points of thought. 1) Data Storage We are creating more data than ever. Its estimated by IDC … Continue reading →

In India there is a well known folk tale about elephants. You see elephants have small eyes and the folk tale goes that because they have small eyes they see them self as small and insignificant. That explains why elephants underestimate their own power and at rare occasions when an elephant is angered it realises its own power and then conquers all that it stands in its way. Villagers often mistaken the elephant to be weak because of this and every now and then you hear in the news of elephant incidents. I remembered this old folk tale recently due … Continue reading →
