A vent in the Delirium

U.S. President Mr. Barack Obama in his opening address to the parliament of India remarked- "India is not emerging, India has emerged." When the world's most powerful man says it, there has to be some truth in it. India with the world's largest population under 25 and world's second largest middle class, has all the potentials to "make it" happen. The ongoing World Economic Forum meet exemplifies this fact. Everyone at Davos is talking about India. The west is looking east, towards a country which has enormous amount of talent. Also the workforce works for prices as low as 2 Euros a day compared to about a 20 Euros a day in Europe. It represents a class of people who are hungry to work and make it happen. India has several other factors working for it, first the amount of people that speak and write English. This could be a major factor while providing solutions and services to the English speaking developed world. Secondly, India is a democratic n...

What 3 idiots symbolises is 3 individuals who don't understand the real reason why they are doing what they are doing in there lives. They finally awaken to making their avocation as their vocation. Hence, the 4 idiots of real life are Mark Zuckerberg, Shaimak Davar, M.F.Hussain and Anish kapoor. Zuckerberg is someone who made his college project into a world renowned phenomenon. A phenomenon which has 500 million ardent followers. A medium which in now connecting the millions of people to each other and the brands to their followers. Facebook has become a cult of its own. It represents what sheer innovation and technical know-how could lead to. A company which has been valued by dealbook to be worth more than the media giants like Warner Bros., and internet majors like yahoo!. The company looks promising enough for the future as well, because Goldman Sachs finds it worthy enough to invest 50 billion dollars. All this because the idiot had the guts to believe that he could make h...

The current surge in the people applying for B.tech and MBA courses points towards them as a means to rush towards money. But ask yourself honestly is money the sole thing you seek from the experience and have the one's who were only seeking this, lasted. You can't move ahead with a pseudo-motive of doing an MBA for the skills it imparts. Doing any specialised course needs you to be motivated for it. Not having motivation for the course but the ends, will sooner or later lead to your fall. If you are in it, be in it for achieving what it truly provides, a quality education and not the by products, the money. The money will follow you anyways, if you have the right set of skills. No man was ever denied money if he had the skills in him and was able to showcase them when it was required. We have so many leaders around us who didn't rush after money straight away but preferred to be entrepreneurs. If they too had rushed after money and taken up lavish jobs in some MNC's ...

The single most powerful force in life is " the will ". Your will to achieve something will always drive you through. Many might disagree, they may claim that although they have the will, success has always alluded them. Well you must wait and not let that will die. Keep the fire burning and this is where the test lies. Having a momentous will is not what leads you to success. A consistent and persistent will is what's needed. A strong will force makes you to be on the right track and be focused on your goal. Those who disagree must also reflect back if they have done enough to keep the fire burning just as hard as it was in the beginning. You must never give up on that will, no matter what and it will in turn make you work twice as hard for your goal. It's important to have a passion, a reason for why you want to achieve a goal. Your passion for a thing makes you do the unthinkable. One never knows his limits unless he finds something worthwhile and then complete...

It's that time of the year again and the scoundrels are out there to make the most of it. Does this mean that the one's like us are any less patriotic than them, who are fighting for hoisting the Indian flag. Surely not. Patriotism comes from within and these people just use it as their last refuge. When everything else fails, go emotional. Strike on people's emotions. Say things which just sounds good, no matter if you mean none of it. After forcing everything, now you want to force the hoisting on them. Why not think of it as the lowering in the name of the hundreds you killed in the previous months. They have lost their fathers, sons, husbands and mothers. Shouldn't that be reason enough. Forcing will not work forever. Instead make them believe they have your support in times of distress, not that all you want is symbolism. What does this symbolism mean anyways. First they, themselves must understand the symbolism in the tricolours of the flag. It calls for peace...

Structuralism could actually be best understood through deconstructionism. For understanding the inherent meaning of a structure you need to break it down. Segmenting it into atomic units which have a meaning of its own. Then analysing the individual units, to have an understanding of the elements before you form a structure. When you break it down you might realise the contradictions and internal oppositions that do exist among the elements of the structure. Thus, deconstructionism allows you to have an intrinsic knowledge of the structure. Often we tend to ignore the importance of these elements and settle with the meaning of the overall structure which only provides a superficial knowledge. After you have deconstructed a structure, you may find the structure to be irreducibly complex, unstable or impossible; but its after you start putting them together that you realise the greater meaning. Nothing exists as a discrete whole. This is what we must first acknowledge. Everything li...

The metaphor might lead you to think towards the Digital age but that isn't what I am referring to here. Not just the digital world but everything; the real world, the life, is inherently based on binaries. Binaries that oppose each other and hence are referred to as the "Binary Opposites". Nothing has a meaning of its own. To define anything you need to have its opposite. Try defining whats good in a world where there has never been a bad or honesty in a world which has never seen disloyalty or hatred to a world which has never seen love. In a unidimensional world where nothing is wrong, by default everything becomes right. To define a right you need a bad. There are no singular existences in life. Yet, we strive for singularities in life; for happiness, love, peace. A classic example of the theory has always been the Angel and the Demon dichotomy. There would have been no Angels had there been no Demons. We created Demons to form an existence for the Angels. Anyone ...
