The topic above might sound funny; but the beholder above refers to the common man i.e. you and me. With this post I somehow want to establish a relation between how the mentality of a common man brings about recession in the economy. According to me true recession is brought by the fear the common man feels seeing his environment. I would like to define FEAR as "Fear Ends All in Recession". Ill like to start this post with my layman understanding of how the economy/industries operate today. Most of the industries today typically make just enough money for the organisation to sustain and make minimal growth (considering the fierce competition). To obtain exponential growth most of the companies rely upon financial institutions (like banks, venture capatalists etc) and people (share and security holders). The actual growth in the world with respect to land prices, minerals, commodities etc is very limited. Now how do each of these organizations get a piece of pie from this gro...

During the early days of my life, my Mom asked me to summon 'God' religiously. I was told God is an almighty figure who controls each and every entity in the Universe. God is the Creater, maintainer and destroyer of everything. Initially I used to fear God and used to pray so that i dont have to face his wrath ;) or get punished for my bad karma, but never really used to respect him. But over the years in my life I have come to respect him. Lets start off by discussing what/who is God. God most commonly refers to the deity worshiped by followers of monotheistic and monolatrist religions, whom they believe to be the creator and overseer of the universe. Conceptions of God held by individual believers vary so widely that there is no clear consensus on the nature of God. So if God is such a varied concept, why does majority of the humanity (barring a few atheists) beleive in this concept. A Man is a creative as well as a logical thinker. If something is beyond his logical knowledg...

Hello friends. Today ill like to express my views on a somewhat sensitive topic. Parenting is the process of raising your child. There are different models demonstrated in the society today and parents tend to follow these models based on their own nature and what best suits them. "Rules of the traffic model", "strict father model", "reward and punishment model" to name a few. Today ill like to discuss when is that parenting enters child abuse. Is there a fine line that differentiates this, and if yes when do we realise we have reached that line? Does spanking your child for wrong really make you cross that line or is it something else? Before continuing, let us make an assumption. All the parents in the world love their child/children, even the ones that have been charged for child abuse. So if every parent loves their child, why would they abuse them? One argument says that parental choices and other unforeseen circumstances that place families under ext...

**Before starting off with this post, I would advice user discretion. Comments in this post are strictly personal and mean no harm to any individual, organization, country, planet or galaxy. Its been close to 9 months now since I have landed in the land of opportunities (Yes friends I am talking about the United States of America), I had a shine in my eyes and sigh of releif in my breath. Everything in this country is automized and fair, unlike in India, where most government undertaking are still manual and run on bribe. I had a dream (I still kindda have it), that Ill learn as much from this country go back and try my best to implement it in my country for the benefit of my countrymen. Well to be frank that dream is now fading out........ The first roadblock: Social Security Number Most of the readers might be knowing, in the US each individual is a number. He lives, works, eats, excrets using this number. Without this you donot exist here. Well I came here on an H1-B and wanted to s...

Well, I have not spent much time in this industry, so this post might feel unjust to a few people reading it. But frankly, everything you read here is my personal opinion. As far as I am concerned, I have spent a whopping 3 yrs in this industry where work is something you need to create and then sell. Hi, this is Ashish Singhal, a Software Engineer. Today I am here to present a few thoughts of mine on the industry I work in. Well lets start with defining Software according to my dictionary. "Software is a combination of what you know i.e. the tools used, programming languages, operating systems etc. and what you architect with what you know i.e. logic." With the advent of this relatively young industry, people have laid importance on the fact that "knowlegde (derived from information)" is the driving power in todays world. Pieces of information potrayed in a specific way aids understanding of an individual and drives an organization. Now given this background I woul...
