Blog me...curiosity redefined

     Last night, I was not getting sleep which made me look out for my favorite pass-time i.e. movies. I never knew the movie I saw (Lucia) would inspire me to blog at this time of the day or rather night :) (yeah it is 4am IST now). I started thinking what is it about the movie that I loved. Was it the spiritual connection or the science fiction? Yes it starts with a spiritual phrase from Kanaka dasa's poem.....is that what made me write about it? Could be one of those factors...but let me tell you, this movie has gone way beyond any body's imagination.                                 ನೀ ಮಾಯೆಯೊಳಗೊ ನಿನ್ನೊಳು ಮಾಯೆಯೊ                                 ನೀ ದೇಹದೊಳಗೊ ನಿನ್ನೊಳು ದೇಹ...

    Man considers himself the supreme being on this planet Earth (maybe even the Mars in the near future). We take the credit for recreating the wonders that God has bestowed upon us. Just to quote an example, the numerous scientific patents are being filed every year for being so called innovative, but have we truly invented something is my question to the mankind.  Some food for thought for you.     From my perspective, we have only been able to discover the hidden treasures which God (or you may name it as some super natural power if you have a bias towards calling Him - God) has given us. Let me take you through what I intend to say here. Have we ever truly invented something? Be it Thomas Edison, Graham Bell, Archimedes, Louis Pasteur, Newton, Alfred Noble  from old times or Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Larry Page from our recent past have only able to discover something using their mind rather than inventing something.     In the...

India is being looked by the world as a country that has huge potential to consistently grow among the developing nations. What makes us so special? Our economy has been able to sustain the global slowdowns effectively. Our foundation has been strong enough to see through the sneeze of the USA or the fire of the Chinese dragon. Talented younger population, optimistic approach along with keen to grow making us one of the top rated developing nations. The World Bank report ranked India as the 130th nation among the ease of doing business in 2016. Yes we have improved from our previous position of 134th rank. Aren't we pleased to see a small jump? Why would not we be?  Lets celebrate over it. Let us look at where we improved upon in the last one year - starting a new business we jumped by about 9 ranks, getting electricity jumped by 29 ranks (yes you read it right - 29) and few others. Now let us look at the main point we slipped by one rank when it comes to the paying taxes. We ...

After many years I saw a Kannada movie on the big screen...usual habit of me is to watch is on the TV screen. My wife told me - lets go to Aatagara - as she had read the review. We had to choose it as that was the only movie which fit into our schedule on a sunday evening.  It might just be a stroke of luck that we got two adjacent seats on a houseful day. Believe me it was an absolute thriller and kept us on the edge of the seat. What a performance by the cast crew! The cast looks so perfectly suited and it just looks to me that we have a range of good Kannada movies coming by one after the other. Anu Prabhakar, Prakash Belavadi, Chiranjeevi Sarja, Meghana Raj and Parul Yadav have acted well. Sadu Kokila gives us the necessary comedy punch. Nice to see Ananth Nag's acting to his style and deliver us a message that is well deserved for today's Kannada people. Dwarkish production is back with a bang after long time. Graphics is well done too in this thriller. Hats o...

All thanks to the project which Yuri Milner has started to find out that alien species that might be hidden somewhere. As you might have already read in the papers Yuri Milner is a Russian billionaire who is investing in the $100 million funded project to find aliens. Milky way is just a tip of the iceberg in this universe of galaxies. Who knows we might have a species on the other galaxy far away from us. Imagine that you do find a species so unique and would like to communicate with it. I definitely liked the idea that some billionaire at last has funded for something more meaningful like this. He has in fact collaborated with the famous cosmologist of our times Stephen Hawking too in this research. Was Yuri thinking about an alternate universe when he tied up with Stephen Hawking to find the aliens? It might definitely need a time and space travel to meet this other species in the other galaxy. Who better to help us on this than our physicist Stephen Hawking....

Every morning starts when the newspaper boy throws the morning news on your doorstep. With a coffee in one hand and the pleasure of reading the paper on the other hand is just the best way to start the day. As a kid I always loved the sports page, with cricket and then tennis. Reading about Andre Agassi, Steffi Graf, Pete Sampras was just as thrilling as the Sachin Tendulkar making a century. Growing up I happen to get fascinated with the science articles that used to be published in these papers. But later on found that some of these articles are still in research, something like a hypothesis which is yet to be proved. Hmmm that makes me think again why publish such articles at all. There are a few rumours that Indian newspapers are biased towards the few parties which makes me think are these news true. Anyway I never bothered much about the political news. Hardly mattered to me till few years back. Why this whole drama of publishing, when the newspapers do not worry ab...

Spirituality, a new phenomenon which India has given to this world. Yoga, ayurvedic medicine, even the number '0' are few significant contribution India has made. Not to mention our mission on mars(MOM) was the least cost effective program which is also considered one of the most innovative way India has shown this world on how to save money. Just a thought, hasn't our IT sector already showed the world on saving money? India has given Srimad Bhagwadgita to the world of philosophy, Chess to the world of sports, Kamasutra to the world of sex, Tikka masalas to the world of taste to name a few. Our human resources has given strength to the back bone of IT service sector, not to forget the new raising IT startups that are giving the USA a chill in the spine. No wonder we are attracting so much funding from Venture capitalist and Angel investors from outside. Being in India if you are thinking the latest trend of being in IT sector can fetch y...
