One golden way to be a Billionaire (Money or Motive-in any terms) :)

Hi All, 

I have been thinking about being a Billionaire and almost every single person in this world would have thought about it once in a week, once in a month, if not daily; unlike me :) During all these years since, I got my brains build up to understand what's happening around me and largely the "World". I came to know that I was automatically driven by my; you can say genetic or destined or human instinct towards people like Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Li Ka Shing, Larry Ellison, Steve Jobs and many more billionaires like these. They all showed one characteristic that they knew one right way to solve a particular problem in a way that nobody else viewed it, and even if anybody viewed it, did not think of solving or implementing the way these people did. 

Even if we don't talk about entrepreneurs or capitalists or businessmen etc we can still look at Einstein, Newton, Kepler, Stephen Hawking, Gandhi, Martin Luther King etc they all saw a problem and acted upon a solution that stood out of all the other solutions that were available in their time. So all these years our history, our present both are telling us that we can achieve what we want whether it is money in billions, fans in billions, students in billions, followers in billions, or employees in billions etc we have to think in such a way that we can eradicate a single problem we face or see others facing. Now this can be designing of an app, a device, a formula, a theory, a movement etc...It can be anything that drives you in a way such that the destination you foresee at the end of this path leads you to the final solution of the problem.

So if we can think in an innovative way, think differently, think about all the right possibilities to do something that can make a difference to life in whatever way it can be...it will surely help us become a Billionaire...But then too the most important thing will be to pursue it and make it a reality one day...Until you succeed in building up what you have thought differently you cannot be added up in the list of people given above :) 

So think different, think innovation, think billions :) 

Magnetospirillum Magneticum-- A bacteria that can write the future of Memory Storage and eventually computing!

The name "Magnetospirillum Magneticum" (not a X-Men Magneto variant ;-) ) is a name of a the most famous searched bacteria since the past 3 days. If the bacteria would have had a healthy brain it would have be posing for page 3 clicks ;-) ha ha...

Jokes apart...this bacteria although lived a unknown life suddenly came into light when it was found by researchers of University of Leeds and University of Tokyo; that it has the power to create magnetic nano magnets that are of largely equal and  specific shapes i.e. cuboids each time this bacteria digests iron nano magetic cuboids are the bye-products. The polarity also is measured to be pretty much similar with all the other cuboids and is one of the rarest phenomenon we can witness on Earth. 

This bacteria does one amazing thing it uses proteins to digest iron particles in the lake, pond water and then produces Magnetite nano particles which it again uses to align itself to earth's polarity in order to find places where there is plenty of oxygen for its survival. 

Scientists believe that if they can successfully produce the protein by which this bacteria does all this amazing feat, they can replicate the same process outside bacteria to create magnetic particles which can be used to make next generation memory storage. Nano wires to make circuitry for new age biological processors that can truly revolutionize the computing industry. 

Currently all the memory storage devices, processors etc are made via deposition/etching/lithography kind of approaches which down the line have become cheaper but still the cost remains high enough as compared to the novel methods such kind of biological methods can introduce. One more area researchers should focus is not only reducing devices size but also increase the battery life which has remained stagnant since the past 2 years or so...Lets hope to see a major innovation in that area too sooner...

Why Indians will never have to worry about S.T.E.M student base ever!!!

Referring to Obama's statement last week where he emphasized that all the outstanding and performing international students will not only be given Student Visa extensions plus they will be offered jobs so that their outflow to their home countries be checked. And they could help in USA's further growth and the maintenance of it's technology pioneer lead over other nations. Obama also strongly made a point like all the previous US President's to focus on promoting a strong student base in the fields of S.T.E.M which stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. 

To the contrary Indian Prime Minister will never have to worry about the same as we already have a large pool of technology graduates in our country which are outnumbering the jobs offered to them each year on and on. Our international counterparts and rather Mr.Obama also might be guessing that why this happens only in India? Why doesn't he have a technological pool of smart generation lined up to compete and bring the best out of them and in return bring name to their country? 

The answer is that in India each parent pushes their kids to study something meaningful out of which; a kid when grows up one day, can derive a living out of it. They try to make a solid knowledge base in their kids and this starts firstly with teaching of mathematics. The mathematics is usually taught in each Indian home to the kids using the favorite things they like: number of candies bought and shared, counting each and every bite of food they have, etc. Science and Mathematics is in the very basic of our education system and is taught daily by Indian parents to their kids. Indian citizens have a mindset that has been proved as a boon for the nation but rather it can also be termed as less liberal that here young kids are always brain-trained to believe that the only way to get a happy & satisfied plus respectful life is by studying; like each and every other senior family member has earned and that is via studying. And not only studying anything; but studying science, mathematics and technology only. 

The trend is deep rooted in the education system too where usually science, mathematics and technology teachers are good as compared to arts, philosophy etc kind of teachers. Currently in India there are more Engineering colleges in a state than Arts, Commerce or Economics colleges are there. Only one state has a rough number of around 500 engineering colleges as compared to only 30-40 or even less arts, commerce etc colleges nowadays. The whole education system in India has slowly deviated to provide professional degrees to students and this has proved to be major factor in maintaining a large pool of techie human resources. 

Plus the job industry also set a trend since the past 10 years that only professional degrees students are being recruited largely. The basic benefit which companies sees in hiring professional graduates is that they see a lot less risk in the initial incubation period of the resources. The aptitude of professional degree courses people is always higher than the graduates from normal colleges. Plus Government also aids the underprivileged or backward Indian citizens to enable their kids to study at competitive educational platforms. All these factors forms the major factors that why Indian prime minister has not to worry about STEM student base.

Obama seeks to retain international "BRAINY" talent in USA. A good news for International students but more competition for US students...

A great news for all the International students seeking educational plans in USA came last week....When Mr. Barack Obama announced that he would like international students that have come to US soil in search of quality education will be given an extension of 17 months in Visa and possibly a long term job offer in case the foreign students are exceptional and "Brainy". I am against illegal stay of any international student in any reputed nation but as this friendly and co-operative gesture from Mr.U.S President has again showed his flow of liberal ideas so I really thought of writing a blog on it.

Links showcasing this news are: http://thepienews.com/news/obama-extend-overseas-work-rights/ and http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/05/17/dhs-allows-foreign-students-extended-stay/

This is a great news for international students who wishes to gain some quality international exposure to hone their freshly acquired skills in the land of opportunities i.e. USA. Mostly students do not get enough time to utilize and showcase their real world on-job capabilities, as they are asked to leave the country as soon as they finish their studies. This small step with major benefits for both US as a nation and students will not only help US tap into more growth and sustainability of its global dominance in technology and science but also will pave a path for more "Brainy" and "Smart" students to flow in. 

International Students will be largely benefited from it as they will get a genuine chance to show their true talent plus an always dreamed-of opportunity to work with the pioneers and best of the established technology giants in the world. I believe this gesture of Mr. Obama should be warmly greeted by all the student communities around the globe and we should thank him for providing each student of this planet a chance to get the best education and most the most worthwhile experience.

The only negative impact of this will be the impact of increased competition in the job market for the US national student. But this also in one aspect will help them to motivate for more zeal and instinct to compete and study science and technology. 

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.
