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.

 

Lokpal bill passed

Lokpal bill has been passed by Lok Sabha yesterday. It is a bill which is consistent with times. It is a bill which was fought for, valiantly by Anna Hazare.
Why is this bill important? Under UN Convention, whistleblower policy is a welcome policy. India also needs to follow UN convention and therefore important. In India Lokpal Bill is an extension of this UN guideline. Anna Hazare, the great leader of modern times, the digital times has advocated for it.
Is justice going to be easy? No. Political parties have a strong clout. They consider themselves superior to common man and therefore unless a common man truly deserve justice under Lokpal, political parties will oppose.
Can there be improvement to Lokpal Bill? It will be difficult. All the people have to make Lokpal effective and should cause fear in government. Only then. It may be noted here that Anna Hazare will be observing the effectiveness of Lokpal in various states.
Most of my blogging time has been devoted to following Lokpal issue. It makes me happy that Lokpal issue has become a law.
 

More Digital

Everything at once is very apt. Because though widgets are there in Android, only Windows has Live Tiles (app + widget). Live Tiles makes possible "Everything At Once" more.
I have downloaded Visual Studio for Desktop. This particular software developer tool does not have tools for building Metro Apps. Metro Apps, by the way are quite complex. A lot of things have to be correct to make a successful Metro App. Metro App can be compared to COM objects, if I may say so. The Visual Studio for Desktop, however can develop Desktop application. A developed program tile in Start Screen of Windows 8, will be run in the desktop. Another thing that can be developed is Windows presentation application. I really do not understand much about it. Maybe someone can write about what is a windows presentation application all about.
I bought Google Nexus 7 tab from Flipkart. It was available at 43% discount. I read that it is fantastic for gaming. And it sure is.
Android KitKat is fantastic. It is simple. Not much complications to a common user.
Using Nexus 7 and flight simulator app, I managed to take off and land a flight successfully. I have got a grip on flights in tablets. I am also improving my biking skills in Dhoom 3 app.
 

Made As Japan

India has hinduism and budhhism. Many say though both are similar, their perceptions are different.
1)Boss is father like. Hinduism wants boss(father) as strict. Budhhism wants openness.
2)A Job is for lifelong. Hinduism treats job as bondage. Budhhism treats job as contribution.
3)Suggestions. Hinduism wants implemented suggestions. Budhhism studies feasibility and acceptability of suggestions.
4)Small improvements. Hinduism wants small spiritual improvement. Budhhism wants small lifestyle improvements.
5)Just in time. Hinduism follow no time. Budhhism wants everyone to follow their time.
6)Food.Iyers are preached to beg for food. Budhhists beg for food.
7)Beverages. Hindus drink beverages at hot temperature. Budhhists like drinking warm.
