Why to buy Samsung Galaxy Note, India---Ultimate Realization of an idea for thoughtful Homo Sapien :)

Wow! was the word I exclaimed when I saw the promo video of Samsung Galaxy Note..

When I was in school and even in college and now in an IT giant. I always thought of having a electronic gadget or a personal diary kind of stuff on which I can freely and in the most casual way jot down all my thoughts, ideas, plans in whatever jumbled up order they come into my thoughtful mind all the time.

But there was no such device available at each phase of my life, till I saw this truly innovative product with awesome device configuration to provide flawless execution of each popular task that we wish to be done on our smart device.

But the real standout feature is the "Notes" taking ability of the device that not only enables us to take text notes but also draw sketches and more thoughtful minds can even use it to envision new scientific formula or information flows. Moreover it has the latest of all the technologies embedded in its core for example fastest available processor, amoled screen, 4g compatible, large display, 8 mp camera, longer battery life, enhanced security and business applications!!! Now I cant expect anything more from a latest tab. It has all what makes it stand out from the rest of the tabs in the market and I truly believe that the POWER of Creation that they have given through its App Innovations i.e. Soonr, ZigZag, iAnnotatePDF, Zen Brush, OmniSketch, Hello Crayon etc, Touchnote, TouchReTouch to thinkers, & technology geeks like us is really of great help...

I think it will enable not only me but a large group of similar like-minds to buy this great tab and reap its Benefits.

How a Cloud Computing based Education Model can revolutionize Education?

Cloud Computing has been introduced as a boon for all those who wants to host a scalable application; ready to be used by a large of users across the globe or a country. It helps people in accessing the applications via internet without seeing any change in the performance. Rather due to the technology that supports this technology like load balancing, hyper-visor resource allocations, map-reduce etc, users are ought to have a high quality user experience with these cloud hosted applications.

Cloud Computing is already the most-hyped word on the net and other forms of media. Every technology based company is trying hard to get into it no matter how logical or sustainable their desperate attempts are :)

Leaving all the corporate games aside whats the biggest application that I see of this technology is to use it for propagation of Education in countries where the literacy rates are low or where the countries are poor as compared to the 1st or the 2nd world countries. Education industry requires 3 basic amenities i.e. premises, human resource and study resource materials. Cloud can help in eradicating all these 3 by the following ways:

1. No need of premises is needed. Only one laptop/desktop, electricity connection and a Wi-Fi or GPS enabled net connection is all what we need to start a school. All these 3 are readily available nowadays...thanks to the mobile and electronic revolution around the globe that has even touched mostly all the 3rd world countries too.

2. Human resource is not needed as all the teaching can be done virtually by the help of a teacher giving lecture in one part of globe/country and being attended by one child at a remote place in the same country or elsewhere.

3. All kinds of study material can be hosted in the cloud hosting environment and can be accessed from anywhere in the world.

So all in all cloud based educational model will not only solve the educational crisis around the globe but also create jobs and generate decent amount of revenue for the solution providers. When the education is provided through such a penetrable medium it is bound to create new generations of knowledgeable youth which will in turn create a stronger and more wiser nation.

What has went wrong till date that has delayed India in becoming a Developed Nation?

The reason why India is not a Developed Nation or will not become one any sooner because:

1. I have observed that the Youth here is taught to make their lives secure and not to take risks even if it is for those aims/objectives,dreams which they always have wanted to achieve. In the childhood days they are taught to study and not to play or else they will not get good enough grades to land them up in their Parent's desired college, in the youth they are taught to get grades to get job, in job they are told to work hard and not challenge the ways to get promotion, and so on the cycle continues here in this nation.

The only solution to this problem is to give child freedom to take risks, to rise and fall so many times that he becomes fearless of losing and courageous to win always :)

2. The nation needs to carefully chose the leaders as whatever you chose you shall get in return, if you will chose a corrupt you will get cheated, if you will chose a leader you will be guided to prosperity

3. Industrialists should not only work in order to expand themselves, they should work to build several like them so that together they make India stronger and dependent.

4. Teachers needs to take their jobs seriously, no more half explanations, out of the school tuition, favoritism, or teaching without making the concepts clear will not going to do any good to the growing hunger of knowledge in this nation. Teachers are major criminals of the society if they are not doing their duty.

5. Ignited minds should just not sit and enjoy their success or enjoy doing what they are best in. They should spread the light around, fill a young boy's heart with the fascinations of universe, filling mind of a colleague of what wonders cloud computing can do, filling the mind of your ambitious friend of what wonders he/she can do if she has believe in himself/herself and you are always there to support them.

If we are able to replicate any one of the above points I think we will make India one step near to become a Developed Nation.

What people enjoy the most?

I have met lot of people till date whether it is at work, at family get together parties, pubs etc. Everywhere I found that people enjoy laughing their hearts out the most. People always want to laugh and have fun. People enjoy drinking, eating good food and having intimate moments with their loved ones but nothing relaxes or makes them feel happier than a good laughter.

I have always been a jolly guy who enjoys making people laugh with my instantaneous jokes and all the funny things that I do, and always I have found that people enjoy it the most. I have learnt that, the best gift that you can give to a human being is a peaceful smile and if you are more generous and understanding you can make them laugh too. The beautiful smiling faces of people being happy and enjoying the moment all around me makes me feel wonderful. I hope all the people should keep smiling and there shall no sorrow in anybody's life.

It is a small post but this is one of the most valuable learning of my life i.e. to spread smiles and to make at least a single person in this world, feel better in whatever way you can, each day you live to spread the immortal smiles :)

A new type of waste: Memory wastage

Everybody in the world now supposedly possess a desktop or a laptop or at least a netbook with an external hard disk, if someone has none from the above 4, then of course a cellphone with loads of storage space. All these devices which are initially vacant with loads of Gigabytes gets filled with movies, songs, documentaries, games, and softwares. All these things are redundantly stored by each individual in their so-called "personal" collections of favorites. But if we see ironically there is nothing as such a thing called "personal" collection because all this stuff is readily available form the free and paid sources all over the internet and anybody can access it from anywhere.

The problem here is that the storage devices all around the world whether they are personal or institutional in nature are making similar copies of the same information over and over again. so if you consider movie "Tron Legacy" print in Blue Ray which comes to be about 11 Gigabytes in size, if is replicated and stored by at least 100,000 people it would waste around 11GB x 100,000= 1.04 PetaBytes of storage space.

This simply is an example that how much of memory and energy and resource goes waste for a single piece of art that can be shared with people in many other ways that can save both the memory spaces and also the environment.

My concern is simply that new innovations should be done so that this large amount of memory storage resources can be utilized with new content or more creative things than just being wasted on duplicated copies of data and information.

I will put the different methods that we can use to do it in my subsequent blogs. Till then have a great day and yes watch 'Tron Legacy" I have booked the tickets and going to watch it today.. And yes no part of "Tron Legacy" is harmed by my example as it was just to show the amount of memory wastage people do in saving redundant content, instead of borrowing from other people's hard disks :)

Why service based industry is best for India?

Getting funding for new products is the most difficult thing for a scientist, researcher, or an innovator/student to get in India. New product development can only be done by businessmen here who already has sufficient resources to support it. A common man who wants to start his own business can do it but then he has to be at a very small scale like owning a shop or more not more than this. Some exceptions might be there. But the best bet for Indian entrepreneurs to start with is service based industry as this industry doesn't requires a huge investment rather a negligible amount if they are smart enough.

The benefit of this industry is that if you have a client base of even 2-3 clients then you can first do the work, charge the fee and continue to invest it in other areas of service or products rather than first investing money in a single product development which might succeed or in worst case scenario fail too. On the contrary service providers has to invest nothing significant rather, first they have to concentrate to on delivering service and receive money for it to try out with investment options in products etc later.

Indian IT industry succeeded because of this only, earlier nobody understood the potential of IT in India due to lack of awareness and knowledge. But when few smart people recognized that service based IT can work wonders even without a large initial investment than construction, petroleum, textile firms etc requires. They flew with the idea and now see the consequences of it India has the world's most profitable IT industry an this fact is not hidden from anybody.

So I would like to share this idea to all of the budding entrepreneurs to first start with any kind of consultancy in the field in which you have the knowledge or experience, and then later you can carry on investing in any proposed products of yours. Build manufacturing industry gradually from service based industry which will not also give you more exposure but also funds to support your future plans :)

College from where one study matters or talent in oneself?

I want to answer this question from my personal experience. One day my childhood friend accompanied his father to my place at that time some more friends of mine were at my place. We had a good chat about our school days. But then the topic changed to life, marriage, and future plans. My friends started talking about their respective companies they were working for. Everything was going fine suddenly my friend's father asked about each one their respective payrolls which was largely personal subject but still everybody extinguished his curiousity honestly.

But then the real reason for me writing this blog post started. My friend's father told everybody proudly that his son owns more than a majority of us all present there. He took pride in boasting that his son has outperformed all of us present there. The reason being that his son studied from an National Institute of Technology and not any one of us studied from any such reputed college. He was sarcastically making fun of us all. But I did'nt interfered in between I let him speak and unnecessarily poke us.

Later when they left everybody was irritated and a little angry about all this. The feel of the moment changed from peaceful to annoyance. But then I realized it and took each one of friends to motivate them. I told one of my friend that he has been selected by a multinational in which that dad's son failed to pass. Another one came from IIT after doing research and earning name and fame more than anybody among us. One owned his own business startup and the other had the hottest girl of the college as his girlfriend ;)

But the dad's boy had nothing he just crammed all the lessons since he was in kindergarten he did not have any applied knowledge skills just percentage to support him and a college who did not help him get the job. My friends realized that I was true, nobody had internal satisfaction in what they were doing due to a college but due to their self efforts and knowledge. College played no part in a computer science graduate friend of mine in taking over dry fruits business from his father and expanding it, or helping an IT engineer enter nanotechnology field and do research in it to develop awesome products. It was their will my friends what made them what they were now. But that friend of mine who came with his father is still slogging in an IT company doing the work he does not like as he only crammed up all the data, code etc to succeed temporarily.... this was what he learnt from NIT :)

So my friends I would like to tell you that colleges just helps us decide what we wanna do with our lives, they give us the direction and opportunity to learn and experiment, not to cram up things just to pass and later boast about it unnecessarily. In this present date all of those of my friends who were present there earn twice what that guy earns and has earned more reputation in their work than him. But he still is trying to play tricks to get an opportunity to go onsite via company sponsorship :)

The lesson is that it depends on you what you wanna become no obstacle can come in anyone's life who wishes to learn, no college or teacher matters to the hungry mind...only self motivation and self respect does....So cheer up my friends no matter you have not being selected in an IIT, NIT or REC. You can still succeed like me and my friends...just show the world your courage and don't get de-motivated or intimidated by people who don't understand the potential in you.
