Congrats to all the Indians. A most awaited moment in the history of Indian Space Mission has just begun. Its not far when all the myths are broken and an Indian lands on Moon.

Kudos to ISRO and all its associates.

The only way to see CHANGE - GO VOTE

Its been sometime that we are watching this ad and its only today that I visited the site. It certainly makes sense to register on the site and follow the steps they suggested.

How long are we going to just sit tight at homes or sleep at homes on the day of voting and bear the brunt for the next five years??? Its time we better get ready to vote, at least with elections coming soon both at the center and in many other states.

On the lighter side:
I think The TATAs got frustrated with all these corrupt ministers and want to bring some change in the youth of this country and thus this initiative.

Old Wine in New Bottle

Yes, its about a similar concept called "Fake experiences in India". This time the story is a little interesting.

A person known to me wanted to change his domain of work, to Telecom Protocol Testing. So he came to Bangalore and tried to pursue some education on the same. He bumped into an institute which just teaches the same. The features of the institute are as follows ...
  1. Instructor is already a Team Lead in an MNC, in Bangalore.
  2. 45 days of instruction about Telecom Protocols and Software Testing
  3. Placement Assistance (This is the interesting topic)
  4. Fake experiences provided
  5. Fake experience Support is provided only till three years
  6. Extended support after three years comes at a premium cost
  7. You will also be guided on which companies do a background check and which do not
  8. Institute is in BTM phase - II
This is what I heard from many of my engineering sub-juniors. So folks what are you waiting for go grab the opportunity and fake your resumes and have fun.

Another Holiday - Gandhi Jayanti

Yes, its October 2nd and time to think about what happened with Indians few decades ago. But first, my salute to all those great men and women whom Gandhi represents in the freedom struggle.

However I was pondering one thing. What was Gandhi's message for the country? Was he expecting people to have a holiday on his birthday and recreate? or did he expect us to work still harder at least for another day for our country's prosperity.

Just a thought.
