West Indies thrash India

Image
Read in newspapers that it would be best time for team India to visit West Indies before the World Cup next year. This was supposed to prepare Indian team and frankly it has. What is in Indian team that they falter when they are most expected to do well. Same was the case this time and they faltered. The reason that i see for this loss is very simple. Playing Dravid in the opening slot is dangerous. It is in the best interest of the team to play him one down. India needs a good opener to compliment Sehwag and Indian team missed Tendulkar at this spot. Another thing that would have become very clear by now is that Indian team needs a right mix of experience and new talent outside india. I think that time has come for Greg Chappel to prove that he is as good as he is wants to show himself as.Because Indian team's performance has been inconsistent under him. So buckel up your shoes mister chappel because the road ahead is getting hotter with World Cup coming near.

Reservation -- A case in point

For a long time I was planning to write my view on this. But seriously there are some things you won't find people arguing your point. So it seemed no point in writing about it and moreover a lot already has been said and writen Here is an interesting case in point which I found amsuing and wanted to share with you guys. Just wanted to clarify that I am not against SC/ST's or OBC's and it's not at all my intention to hurt there feelings by this. But it's totally and clearly my intention to do that for the politicians who instead of providing them with proper education at primary level are spoon feeding them. I think we should have job reservations in all the fields. I completely support the PM and all the politicians for promoting this. Let's start the reservation with our cricket team. We should have 10 percent reservation for Muslims. 30 percent for OBC, SC/ST like that. Cricket rules should be modified accordingly. The boundary circle should be reduced for an...

Journey

I was going home (Delhi) this holi by train and I had many apprehension of how I will be spending my 38 hours (which ultimately got extended by another 2 hrs) on the train with no one to accompany me. But all my apprehension were proved wrong once a spent my first few hours in the train. I met people from the same background( Software engineers), who were going home on holi .They were also working in some or other company in Bangalore and earning there living from this city which had become synonymous to silicon valley of India. One person became a very good friend of mine during the journey and he had come from a small town near jaipur, Rajasthan. He came around the same time when I came to Bangalore. He had no job then. He slogged for 3 months and gave interview for some 10 odd companies and was ultimately selected. Some others also had similar stories to tell. One person had come to Bangalore to enroll his son in a dental college. He was from a small town near Delhi. With IISc and ...

The Flat World

Image
The World Is Flat not really but literally as pronounced by Thomas L. Friedman in his book ‘The World Is Flat’ A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century. In the world of today everybody has got a level playing field. People in developing world compete and collaborate with those in developed world. This way we are witnessing a phenomenon of widespread distribution of wealth across the globe and are bringing prosperity all around. It all started with advancement in communication and transportation. Inter galactic optical fibers network changed it all. The same work which was done a decade ago in a single office is now being done all across the globe. With some part done in China and some in Mexico and India. So much has changed that you when you book your Mac Donald’s pizza at a take away and you won’t realize that the actual person taking your order is sitting thousands mile away and taking your order over the phone. But for a country like India what is the effect at the grass root le...

Global Delivery Model

Global Delivery Model is at the forefront of outsourcing . It helps a company to diversify and outsource its business to a place where it can be done most efficiently in terms of cost and talent available. Two more terms which come to one’s mind are in shoring and off shoring . China is a good example of the benefits of off shoring. It has huge and cheap population to work in industries. Today it has become global hub of manufacturing. Similarly in shoring has enabled companies in USA to inshore some part of there work to other companies in US itself so that it can be done more efficiently. For example today the courier company UPS will fix your faulty Toshiba laptop in India itself instead of first taking it to US where Toshiba guys will fix it. So the turnaround time has come down form a week earlier to just two days. In today’s world companies are fighting hard to bring down there costs and give best return on there customers money. Its better this way, so that companies concentrat...
