One work plan, many workers

Hierarchy is tough to understand and explain. It is relatively much easy to explain hierarchy in industries. Because one machine and numerous output. So, logically the person synchronous with working of machine can be considered at a higher hierarchy. The person who carry machine output products to trucks may be considered at a lower hierarchy. Why not one of the persons who carry output be at higher hierarchy? Because, many workers are needed and in a hierarchy tree more numbers are below and only a few are at top.
But it is the responsibility of everyone to see that machine is well lubricated and coolant are put at right time. But should the persons lifting output be concerned ? Yes, it is their concern too. Even though they may get a rest when machine is down, but they should understand that the truck also becomes idle. And the truck chain will get disturbed and food supplies coming in may be affected.

Most of the bureaucratic setups, offices, factories, industries necessarily need to follow hierarchy. i.e. one work plan and many workers. I must also mention here that maximising work can be an objective of this setup. This implies that complete and wholehearted belief in fairness is essential. Refer to http://www.measuringbehaviour-ravi.blogspot.com for further clarity.
So here are good wishes and hope for complete faithful adherence to above suggested system.

The daily essentials

The other day, I thought  that though I lead a routine life; there are certain things which are essential to help lead a meaningful life. I am not talking about roti, kapada aur makan. I am talking about things like gadgets, television, sketchbook type of items.
I must mention here that I have given most of my books to kabaddiwala. The history books, short stories collection, bollywood music and all. I read somewhere that old books become baggage on life and it is essential to get rid of these to feel free. Also, I no longer enjoy books the way I used to earlier. My mental state at present does not allow to keep pace with the author. I sometimes do re-reading. Complete Works of Conan Doyle can be read anytime. I have kept this book.
Newspapers are essential to me. I had a tendency of making notes from newspaper. I installed brain mapping software Personal Brain 6 to take notes effectively. But this habit too I am not presently interested in. I am presently comfortable with RSS feeds from Google news.
Gadgets are important in my life. I have Nokia 1520 and Nokia 720. Nokia 720 is mainly for artificial intelligence. The SIM got locked in Nokia 720. I have got the SIM unlocked with PUK code. But it works only for calls. Nokia 1520 is my all round Airtel phone. Nokia 720 is calls through MTNL and artificial intelligence. Artificial Intelligence can be interesting with questions like "Do you think I think wisely?". But I used it to fetch me an important section "Opening Bell" of Mint newspaper. But it did not work effectively for "Current price of potato in Delhi".
Television is good to watch movies like "Men in Black", "Mission Impossible", "Jab We Met" etc. again and again.They are great for NDTV news too.
Commenting too much on Bollywood Music has made the composer in me die. I have also stopped playing dafli. Only rarely do I play. The imagined fear of Hari Prasad Chaurasia, Lata Mangeshkar and Pyarelal is preventing me to experiment too much.
FM radio is great when travelling. Install Shazam app in your device to know the name of the song you hear. Many times you may like the song, but do not know the name. Shazam is useful here. A 5 minute sample listening by Shazam at any stage of the song is usually enough to tell the song name accurately.
What are your essentials?

Bodybuilding saga

Everyday I hit the gym in the mornings. It is a pleasant looking forward to event.
Relaxing and massaging are important in bodybuilding. I discovered the importance of relaxing and massaging during my jogging period. A 10 minute massage of muscles will do no harm. It relaxes the muscles and they are ready for the next day.
Routine is important. Patience is the key here. I think it takes time for muscles to become strong and big.
Power is another important thing in your exercise activities. One must be able to generate more than 200 W of power for a considerably long period of time in cardio sessions.
Form and intensity are important in weights. One must be able to judge oneself pretty well.One must be able to do right number of repetitions in first set itself and ensure that three sets are done. Doing 15 repetitions in first set and 7 in second and 1 in third is no good. Better will be 8, 8, 8 in first, second and third repetitions.
I have not got good form in many weight machines. I am slowly building up form. Once the form improves, I shall do more intensely.
I have lost more than 2 kgs of fat. And the muscles have become big. I feel good because I am beginning to look good.

A Sensible Vote

Elections are around the corner. Next week onwards, voting for the next parliament will be held all over the country on different dates.
First of all, one must vote. There should not be any excuses. NOTA option is there. NOTA which stands for None Of The Above, can be chosen when one is unhappy with election process or some other reason. Even if you do not have faith in democracy, still you must go for vote and select NOTA.
If you are a good citizen of India, then you must be having this question in mind. Whom to vote? A good candidate or a good party? Normally a good candidate is selected over a good party by people who have rebellious tendencies. They believe in strong philosophy of change and are willing to fight for making our nation better.
Personally, if you ask me I shall vote for social changes. Not development as being followed over the years. If we are able to improve in social values, then development will come. Improving in social thoughts is the need of the hour for India.
One should not have full square meal when there are so many hungry men in India. The least one can do is eat less. Also one must try to propogate appropriate thoughts and try to practise leadership.
Do not worry about development. Today, the world is very well connected. And there are many countries from whom we can purchase essentials. But we must have dignity and coherence. We must promise to lead a life of values.
Let us change India. Let us use our finger. Let us vote. For a meaningful life for our children and ourselves. Jai Hind !!!

Sahi Dahi (The Right Curd)

Gujaratis are great organisers. Through internet, by pamphlets or organising events. They excel in these sort of things and canvas very well.
The elections in 2014 created the nickname NaMo for Narender Modi. Then the lion from Gir, Amit Shah organised UP constituencies campaigning. The assembly elections were organised so professionally by BJP that one could not help thinking that it is indeed a khakra. Then NaMo branded items were sold. Of course one should not forget the 3D hologram campaigning of NaMo. Then Modiji came up with the idea of Chai Pe Charcha.
The Congress too is trying to take away the momentum from BJP by its proposed Rahul Milk campaign. Milk is a very basic necessity for us and it is considered as the most correct thing in this world. The dairy industry is huge and will generate votes for Congress because of the efforts of Congress party in diary industry. The efforts were really big and would have milked even a bull.
It will not be incorrect if I say that Samajwadi Party comes up with the idea of Sahi Dahi . They are well known for rustic comments and demeaning sense of humour. The south indians may not like this idea. They are critical and fault finding humour types. Full marks to Destination Infinity site.
Sahi Dahi is what is suggested to Samajwadi Party to counter this threat. It is not me alone who speaks this. I am confident of the support of Mayawatiji !!

National Padma Awards

On Republic Day eve, the Padma awards were given. This write-up is my knowledge on some of the Padma Awardees:-

1) Dr.Mashelkar - I have read about his projects in Wikipedia. He was also in CSIR. Frankly, I have great respect for Maharashtrian thought. I learnt a lot from Yashwant Kanetkar tutorials in CD. If I make a statement that wet grinding machine reduced poverty in India by 15%, I am sure Maharashtrians will appreciate it.
2) B K S Iyengar - The renowned yoga guru is greatly respected by me for his caste and of course for his asanas. The problem today is the stress and fast life and unfortunately yoga develops health slowly.
3) Gulam Mohammed Shaikh - I do not know the painter. But I have admiration for M F Hussain. Art is tough and expressing it in canvass and then getting admiration and laurels is tougher. The toughest part is being brave.
4) Kamalahaasan - He is a great showman and is deeply admired for his knowledge and abilities.
5) Leander Paes - Leander is a great fighter and can get it right when it matters most.
6) Paresh Rawal - One of the most talented actors of all-time and a brand by himself.
7) Vidya Balan - Tremendous actress who has made many men mad. Great looks and excellent presence make her one of the topmost heroines of bollywood.

Tablet Games

I enjoy playing games in tablet. It relieves mental tension.
Games are like real life. If the man starts running in Temple Run, then he does not stop. Much like real Indian life. A normal Indian in Delhi does not apply brakes in road. He expects others to apply brakes while he feels he needs to keep going. Life is too short to win points. Respect others. Apply brakes for others. Allow the cat or dog to cross the road.
As far as I am concerned the only strategy for Temple Run game I can manage to think is collect gold wisely. Not necessary to collect all the coins. 2 coins from a line of 10 is good enough.
Flights are great. I like flight simulator very much. I have downloaded 3 free games in my tab. Flight Simulator extreme is fantastic for beginners. One needs patience here. This game is by Thetis Software. There is another Flight Simulator game by Unity. I have managed to collect 25 out of 30 medals in 2 Levels and have unlocked Level 3. I consider this as a great achievement.
I am good in playing Pipes game in my Windows phone. I am confident that I can be a world ranker in this particular game. I loose time due to my touch accuracy. Otherwise I am blazing fast in finishing.
Dhoom 3 is good. I have to improve my strategy to reach beyond 42,000 score.
