Tribute to Steve

After four months gap, with a lament face on the eve of Dussara, writing the post. Even though it is Dussara, lament … because due to loss of legendary Steve Jobs.

Watch his inspirational speech at Stanford commencement, an excellent quote from his speech, “Don’t loose faith, I love what I did, You got to find, what you love. And that is true for your work as it is for your lovers”.

On M. K. Gandhi’s death, an American author wrote “it was the best way of Mahatma preaching us”. Steve’s three stories are no less, every story is a lesson. He sought an opportunity every time he needs to face failure (?).

Steve, we miss you physically, but you are with us as long as technology survives.

Anna Hazare - Thank you

Apr 10, 2011

Anna Hazare, a 70 year old young man. Time will answer the result of "Jan Lokpal Bill". But some one need to be proactive. As citizen of the country I fully support the young man Hazare, who inspired from the trio, Bhagaht Singh, Raj Guru and Sukdev. The trio were executed at the age of just 21. They left great fragrance on the Indian society. Though  I don't encourage violence, we must learn from the kind of commitment from the trio.

India, teaching and preaching to the world unity-in-diversity. I am proud to be Indian. No country except India realized the emphasis of RTI. Now Jan-Lokpal.

There are many problems in the country, but the kind of development achieved in just 60 years, must be appreciated. Change is inevitable. RTI and JLP (janlokpal) are critical weapons on the future direction of the democracy in the country.

I am happy that the key people behind RTI are also participating anti-corruption movement. People like Aravind, Kiranbedi, Sandeep Pande, Agnivesh, Arunarai are few to name. Read Sandeep Pande article on Eeenadu (archive on 9th April, under "వ్యాఖ్యానం").

Grate lawyers and excellent narrators like Jatmalani, Kapil Sibal must use their law-expertise for society than for politics.

People Whom I Admire – Arvind Kejriwal

Be Clear on What you are Doing

19, November 2010

I come across an inspiring story. Few people dare to achieve. They are clear on what they are doing. We need not to consider the useless critics. He is from my college (Andhra Polytechnique). Details can be found on the following links.

Most of software people hate the work they are doing. But the following guy (Purna) foresee the future in his work, and above it, he acted upon. I am happy that many of my friends are becoming entrepreneurs. It is what Prof. Kalam is expecting from the present generation.

People Whom I Admire – Kalam

17^th August, 2010
About 4 laks years ago a person respected a fictitious promise made by his father and went to forests for 14 years. He was none other than Lord Rama who became lord to almost one billion people. That is the kind of respect Rama had at his father Dhasaratha.

We can find such Ramas even in these days. The story collected from a tabloid of regional language. Dr. Kalam is one such person. Read the book Wings of Fire to understand Kalam’s childhood environment. Just read on…
