Motivate Yourself, Proud to be an Indian


India is country where pizza reaches faster than ambulance. No work form government will not done without giving bribe(one case woman sold her kidney to get revenue documents).Most of the leaders are corrupt. Every leader project themselves as savior of the country but end up making money for themselves. Roads are worst. Trains never comes on time. People don't have safety, Anytime anyone can attack on us. Love jihad is going on. Conversion and Re-conversion is going in full zoom.India is full of problems.No future for this country. Are you all agree with me?

No you shouldn't agree with me. India is changing like never ever before. Majority of Indians are fortunate. We have democracy and mother nature is very kind to most of us. With increased number of IT Companies, Education Institutes, Industries etc, peoples with or without education getting lot of opportunity to earn. Even though luxury is far from us, prosperity is increasing day by day.

Look at other part of world
1. North Korea : More than lakhs of people died from starvation and hunger related illnessWe can't compare dying by starvation to suicides.There are more than 500 statues of Kim Il sung  across the country. Citizen has to treat him as god. If people didn't bow to his statue, it's punishable offense leads to imprisonment. Most of the book and movies are about Kim il Sung. We respect our leaders like Gandhi, Netaji but forcing someone to treat them as god is out of question in India.

2. Africa : Millions of kids lost their parents because of HIV/AIDS. 589 people still live without electricity. 75% of the poorest countries are in Africa.

3. Middle East : If we can look at recent developments in Arab countries, Story about ISIS scare us. Even though Arab countries have very rich in natural resources still peace is far from us.

Still we have lot of problems
1. Terrorism : Pakistan supported and internally grown terrorist groups are threat to Indian Security.
2. Naxalism : Naxalites having presence in more than six states of India.
3. Poverty : Income per person is still below 6000 per month and so on.
4. Women Harassment : No safety for woman both inside and out side home.( Read my article Stop violence on woman)

Now look at the Positives of being an Indian
1. Democracy
2. Freedom to media
3. Strong Judiciary( CM's are sent to jail)
4. Innovative ( Sent spacecraft to Mars in Hollywood movie cost)
5. Indians having great future in IT too( Satya Nadella is CEO of Microsoft and Sundar Pichai is virtual CEO of Google)
so on.

Let's come out of all the cynic. India is successfully standing firmly even after continuous attack by Moguls and British. Let's believe in our country and in our leader Sri. Narendra Modi. I don't know whether he will eradicate problems of India But I am sure he will put his best effort.As we all know he is very pro active and punctual. We lost honest and dynamic Lal Bahadur Shastri very early. Atal Ji didn't got long time to lead this country. Let's hope Modiji fulfill his promises.

Thank you for reading. Please share and comment your views.

Steve Jobs Biography


Steve Jobs, the man who wanted to make a dense in universe is ever lasting inspiration. At Present, Apple is most valuable company in the world. Even though Jobs confounded Apple with Wozniak, It's jobs who made Apple as most valuable company. As Steve always saying he successfully made dent in universe in his own way.

  • Steve jobs is famous for perfection and simplicity.
  • Steve always said people don't know what they want, until you show them something so he never interested in market research.
  • Jobs combination with Jonathan Ive did wonders for Apple
  • Jobs had vision for the products and he believed that software and hardware should integrated.
  • He was master mind for creating many master piece like iMac, iPod, iPhone and iPad. 
  • He revolutionized package of products and created unique product unboxing concept along with improving experience buying through Apple Stores . 
  • He was always very good in selecting right people for getting job done except one time (John Sculley case). 
  • Along with many master pieces he was master mind of another master piece i.e.Steve Jobs Biography
  • He proved that he was excellent in selecting people by selecting Walter Isaacson for writing his biography.
Steve's biography is unique and different just like Apple Products. I had very bad opinion about biographies like biography meant to glorify person. Walter and Steve, made me to change my opinion. Steve's biography contains truth. No where, Steve got glorification from the author. It's Steve wish to tell truth about him so his kids know about him. Steve biography is very detailed one. Author interviewed many people who comes in Steve life and he wrote their views along with Steve Version.

Steve Jobs died on October 5, 2011(Wednesday) because of cancer. Next week, Dennis Ritchie died on same Wednesday. Many people not even heard of Dennis Ritchie the man who invented C programming language and Unix operating system. Recently I came across a question in Quora, questioner asks why Steve job death got more media coverage and sympathy than Dennis.

We can't compare two legends, I feel there is lot of difference between Steve and Dennis. Dennis Ritchie is inventor where Steve jobs is Visionary. Dennis Ritchie developed command based UNIX OS. Steve turned innovation of Graphical User Interface to reality. When Woz developed Apple I, all he wanted was to showcase in Homebrew Computer Club. Steve is the one who saw future in Apple 1 and stuck deal with Byte Shop to deliver 50 pieces for $500 in 60 days. Even Apple_II is designed by Woz. Steve Jobs concentrated on packaging, presenting and marketing of the product.

Finally If you want to know more about Apple early days, Steve's days in India and Steve return to Apple along with creation of iPod, iPhone,iTunes, consider buying a book of Steve Job's Biography.

Rahul Dravid: Timeless Steel

Are you proud fan of Rahul Dravid? Are you craziest fan of Rahul Dravid? How much you know about Rahul Dravid and his game? Have you missing articles about Rahul Dravid in News Paper? To know more about him as a person and cricketer, You should read Rahul Dravid:Timeless Steel

 
I don't know why I started liking and loving Rahul Dravid when whole India crazy about Sachin. I was getting nervous whenever I was watching Rahul Dravid playing, especially in ODI cricket. 

Does Rahul Dravid followers like him for his character outside ground or for his performance and sacrifice in ground. Rahul did everything team need starting from playing as wicket keeper to accommodate extra batsman and scarifying his 3rd position to open batting when openers not available. 

Even though, Rahul got recognition as one of the best Test Batsman in world, He didn't got his due credit in ODI. Critics labelled Dravid as not fit for ODI and selectors dropped from ODI.But he proved everyone wrong by top scoring with 461 runs in the first cricket world cup(1999 WC) he played.
There are so many unknown things about Rahul, this book tries to throw light to that part. Rahul Dravid:Timeless Steel book contains articles by
  • Players who played along with Dravid in various level like Suresh Raina, Sanjay Bangar, Akash Chopra, Ed smith
  • Coaches in various level like Greg chappel, John Wright
  • Reporters who reported Adelaide and Rawalpindi Test like Sharda Ugra, Samit bal, Rahul Bhattacharya
  • Dravid wife, Vijeta Dravid
Each and every author explains Dravid's character, temperament and technique along with Dravid preparation for game. This book also contains detailed statistics of Rahul Dravid games.

Most importantly Rahul Dravid:Timeless Steel book contains some of important interviews of Rahul Dravid
  • After his best innings in Adelaide in 2003
  • After he getting Wisden cricketer award in 2003
  • After setting up highest catch record in 2010
  • After his retirement.
This interviews gives peek to Dravid personality from last 11 years. Surprisingly Rahul didn't changed much with success. He always maintained low profile. Proud to be Rahul Dravid follower who done everything for his team and country.

Nanna Thamma Shankara : Shankar Nag Biography review

Shankar Nag is fondly called as shankaranna by Kannada people, He is one of he most memorable person in the History of Karnataka. Even today, after his death of 25 years, people get goosebumps when they hear name "Shankar Nag". Auto driver and taxi driver who born after shankar died paste his photos and stickers in their vehicle. Arguably, Shankar Nag is most famous and loved person in Karnataka. 

After his death, Few biographies of Shankar nag released but "Nanna Thamma Shankara" is the only best book. Nanna Thamma Shankara book written by Ananth Nag, elder brother of Shankar Nag and most versatile actor of Indian cinema. A must read book for all Shankar Nag Fans. Ganesh Kasargodu also wrote a book about Shankar Nag but don't waste your time on reading that book.




Shankar Nag is like Che Guevara because both of them still alive in people heart even though they left earth decades back. Both of them died in thirties but the work they did takes whole life time for us to complete. Both of them tried hard to do improve mankind with out expecting any personal gain.Che Guevara born and bought up in Argentina, fought for Cuba people and died while fighting for Bolivia people. Shankar Nag born in konkani family in coastal Karnataka and bought up in Mumbai. He had tried to improve the lives of Kannada people after he came back to Bangalore.

If Shankar Nag limited his activities to acting, he would've forgotten by now.Shankar Nag is visionary, He is the one who started studio "Sanket" in Karnataka with help of his friends to bring back Kannada Film Industry to Bangalore from Chennai. He had united stunt masters and helped them in forming Stunt Master association. He is the one who convinced Dr.Rajkumar to join gokak movement to provide momentum to the movement .He is the first Indian film director to shoot underwater scene.

In childhood, Shankar Nag was very good in academic so he wanted to go abroad to pursue masters degree. But his brother Ananth Nag was forced him to accept "Gandugali" role in "Ondanondu Kaladalli" movie directed by famous Girish Karnad. Shankar Nag got National award as best actor in his debut movie for the same Gandugali role.Later Shankar Nag became famous among his fans as "Karate King". He became house hold name through movies like SP Sangliyana,Auto Raja,Nodi Swamy Navirodu Hige,CBI Shankar, Minchina oota and Geetha. He is very workaholic, He acted in around 14 movies in 1984 along with acting in drama. He acted in around 78 movies in 13 years of acting career. He was unfazed by success and love he received by people. He got National level fame for "Malgudi Days" Serial.

Nanna Thamma Shankara book reveals Shankar's all ideas in very detail because he involved his brother, writer of this book Ananth Nag in all his projects. Some of Shankaranna's Mind blowing Ideas
1. Bangalore Metro - He went abroad to study existing metro and submitted his plan to government of Karnataka
2. Children's park & Rope way near Nandhi Hills
3. Affordable homes for Middle class people - He wanted to build pivot project then he wanted to convince government to implement across Karnataka.
4. Country club for entertainment

You will feel sense of incompleteness after reading "Nanna Thamma Shankara" book. It took me long time to come out of the thought i.e. we missed a pearl.

Even though, 
Shankar Nag had lot of success in commercial movies, he had directed all kinds of movies like thriller, comedy and Suspense genre. To read more about Shankar Nag films and film making skills, read wonderful blog in Jamuara by clicking on the below link.

Hard work pays


One can’t achieve success by luck. Even though if someone achieved success by luck, he can’t maintain it or can’t be in competition for long time. No one can achieve success without hard work, dedication and determination. Ambani, Tata, Steve Jobs, Richard Branson and Bill Gates didn't become rich overnight.

Bill gates, a computer geek did lot of hard work to become No.1 rich person on earth. When all of us busy in mugging our lessons in school, Gates tried to write programming language for newly released Intel 4004 microprocessor.

Ambaniji didn't rob a bank to build his monarch of industries. He did many works including road side chat shop to putting petrol in Arab countries. He proved that everyone can fulfill their dreams if they put effort.

We, common people jealous of rich people because they are having all luxuries which we are dreaming. We always get influenced by negative factors for example, Mr. Vijay Mallya worked hard to build his company but we won’t care about it. Whenever we get chance to criticize Mr.Mallya, we’ll start saying he is drunkard and womanizer. I have seen people feeling happy when Kingfisher Airline fallen. Don't we sadist?

I was shocked to read financial crisis of King Fisher Airlines. Even though I never traveled in King Fisher airlines, I heard a lot of good things about facilities in KF Airlines. Ups and downs are common in Business. But I never thought people hate someone who is not related to them and who didn't cheated them. News papers are index of society, even this news papers also write articles. Common man who didn't understand why king fisher in loss also started explaining reasons for Mallya’s fall.

Instead of getting influenced by negative thoughts, people have to open their minds to positive things. So here is a story for you. I read this story in a book. It’s a real story on a person from coastal part of Andhra Pradesh. I‘ll just write that story in my words. 

Pawan’s father was a lorry driver in mines. Pawan fallen down from lorry when he was travelling with father friend but survived with small injuries on legs. Pawan got admitted to government hospital because Nursing home didn't admitted him because its an accident case. Nurses applied some ointment and doctor suggested to take bed rest for three days.

After one week bed rest in home, Pawan was feeling unbearable pain, so got admitted to district hospital. Doctors in district hospital blasted Pawan parent's for their carelessness and told that two legs are gone (i.e. Gangrene).Doctors finally told that Pawan‘ll be alive if and only if two of his legs removed. Parents agreed it because they didn't have other choice.

After operation, Pawan become awake and tried to get up, and then he comes to know that he can’t walk anymore. He become dumb stuck and he cried silently because he didn't have any words to explain his feelings. His parents consoled him by promising that they’ll take care of him with love.
At that time Pawan studying in 8th class.class. Pawan sister who was studying in 10th class, readmitted to 8th class so that she can take care of Pawan in and around school. Pawan topped his Block in 10th exams.

Interesting thing is Pawan got seat in India’s most prestigious engineering college i.e. IIT MADRAS. Pawan proved that if you have dedication and hard work, you can achieve whatever you want. Topper of IIT-JEE exam opted out IIT Madras and he voluntarily agreed to share room with Pawan.

After four year of engineering, Pawan got placed in MNC. During Convocation, Pawan cried uncontrollably by remembering his friend help and thanked the entire college faculty and his friends for being kind with him and for helping him during his stay.


Now Pawan is working for Google in Bangalore.

Let’s start working towards our goal. Thank you for reading.
