Response to IT stalls not Attractive...........

The truth is there is no awareness and the platform created for our youngminds to get interested in.
IT is one subject unless you are introduced to amicably...our people will not be curious enough to explore...especially when the gadgets are out of reach for us. Maybe it's hightime we approach the OLPC (One Laptop per Child) initiative.

Missing out the chances in early life is a heavy price to pay.

Words: that destroys

What makes me wonder is why we gossip about everybody and everything at a slightest provocation?  Personally I hate it and feel as much guilt as a biggest crime that could have been comitted on occassion I get involved in talks about people (even though the discussion maybe important).  

Human beings by nature loves to  gossip and spread rumour  ( a pleasure so rare, i guess), and the internet seems to be the greatest gift from above for these so called gossip mongers. The forums are flooded with such topics and staggering hits just proves that everyone loves it! If only topics of global interest are treated with equal importance!

Perhaps the writers donot realise how much damage words can cause"tongue has no bone but it can break many"..words are words whether spoken or written. There are cases of lives being lost , in Korea some celebreties have resorted to suicide due to such rumours not to mention how it stains a person's credibility (especially in this fame concious world).

It's surprising to know such concepts of pleasure for humans! Can't we be just compassionate with our time and intellect?

Leadership

William Arthur Ward said, "The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires".

Like wise, great leaders inspire you. The kind of leaders that really inspires me are the ones who live by example. Sometimes you find those people who inspires you in most unlikely places!

November 6: The Co-incidence


A tiny Himalayan Kingdom, barely heard outside, except for few GK freaks was celebrating to make a new history. somewhere at far-east of Asia it was my turn to present our country for my university's Overseas Networking Exchange (branded as ICU-ONE.). I am not sure if I was successful enough to let the audience get some ideas that a country of half a million people sandwiched by a billion people on either side has stood the test of time and existed because they were more than mystified. Some friends asked me, "do you wear that dress only on occassion?" another said..it looks uncomfortable to which I replied..well I used to play soccer in it in school and it helps me to be a better goal keeper!

There couldn't have been a better coincidence though!

The US President

There isn't any country who doesn't talk   about the US elections and I haven't met anyone who is least bothered about who is elected. This sure sends some message that everyone still looks up to the US for whatever reasons....
The recent financial crises in the US and it's impact felt everywhere around the world is a true indication of how in-dependently dependent everyone in this world is. 
And if a decision made thousands of miles away has an impact on the other side of the world, their decisions must be guided by wisdom and farsightedness.
