Making of an unproductive Indian

These days I have been traveling by local train, the MRTS in chennai, While I was returning home the other day, it was 7:30 PM. I saw a juvenile girl singing some weird language song, While her younger brother been collecting money in the compartment where my friend and myself being present. I was so pissed of with this activity of sending this girl to do the beggar job. I started scolding their parents and was telling my friend. So my friend asked me on an average day how much money will they be making. My friend has been traveling for years, I just started accompanying him for the last few months.

Can any one guess? The train had 9 compartments running time 45 Minutes. And frequency of this train on an average would be 10-15 Minutes during peak hours.

So I replied my friend saying a 100 Rupees a day. He just laughed at me and explained that they would have already obtained 100 or more Rupees on this trip alone. He went on explaining that an average Indian would give a 1 Rupee to these beggars. The regular travelers know these beggars. So they don’t give them money. It is floating population which falls for these people. Take a single compartment at least 10 to 15 people flick a one Rupee coin and by that 9 compartment of this train they make an average of over 100 Rupees. Imagine if they make around 8 or more trips a day.

I said to my friend, that I was not making that much money being a software professional after all the bloody useless taxes which I have been paying for the Indian Government.

He went on and said, that he had no clues on what happens to that money. But he said, that is one reason we see the parents encouraging their children to beg for money. So for generation they are in the Beggar Business. So now you known why Indians are being considered as Beggars by foreign nationals.

So what is the solution for an unproductive Indian?
While the middle class has been loaded with more and more taxes and the top class has been evading from tax and while the poor has no idea about What taxes were meant to be.

One possible thing which stuck my mind was that these beggars have to be in prison and asked to work on different trades, some thing like the co-operative societies do and be paid really less. It is some thing like saying if you beg you will make 10 Rupees a day. While you work outside you could earn more, So the choice is theirs. Well some one could make Indian roads to every place clean.

Next time you see any one begging on public places please don’t serve that Rupee you are in the process of making an unproductive Indian. Think twice please.

If you have any more ways to make them work do comment.

A perfect Teacher

A perfect teacher would be, when his own children be able to learn from his teaching
Vinod V V

Have you seen a teacher’s son/daughter getting low grades, Mostly. The reason being that as parents we tend to shower our love on our children and they completely take advantage of the situation. A perfect teacher/parent is one who understand the strength and weakness of their children and teach them accordingly.

Isn’t that true.Technorati Tags: teacher, teaching, kids, children, love, strength, weakness, quote

Time to think about the Girl child & career oriented Women

[Credits: Mastronardi]

I don’t blame the women nor the girl child in the first place. I blame myself being part of this, and I think it is the right time to make some changes to help them out.

When was the last time you burned midnight oil to help your Mom or Wife, when they were having a normal fever?

1. I love my mom very much, it is that I take her granted that I don’t heed to her advice, some times don’t even suggest to take care of her health.
2. In my family any thing in terms of health goes wrong with men (my dad, me and my son). Women (My mom, My wife) seemed to worry a lot, and some times they don’t worry about their own health and burn midnight oil to help us out from running temperature.

About the girl child:
Looking at the number NEWS in India, that raising a girl child is often considered burden. Their main worry is Dowry system, which is slowly getting wiped out.

1. Girl child getting aborted
2. Girl child getting killed just after birth
3. Girl child being in worst child labor
4. Girl child being consider less superior in schools
5. Girl child molestation in schools
6. Girl child rape
7. and what not

What are women for?
Don’t blame me for saying women are sex toys, women have a primary goal in life. To give birth to a child. The trait for women is women and not men, their physical appearance when compared to men make them weaker to abide to what men commands. Just because of a command, does the women have to abide by it, think it over, usually (mother/ sisters – in laws) plead or force them to obey the orders.

So what are men for?
Men have more responsibilities, taking care of their children and women, so lies lot of sub tasks as men are usually consider stronger when compared to women generally termed “weaker sex” it is in terms of physical appearance.

About Career Oriented woman:
As India is becoming the fastest growing nations in the world and there is good increase in the women entrepreneur in every field. Well that is good welcome. The sorry state is that women get married after mid 30′s, by worrying about their career. And some don’t even marry, well looking at the above problems they faced during their growing years, they become more matured in state of mind of not getting in to relation. Some feel when in need they get… Well that is true for women and not men.

What does that mean, if women get married late?
Scientifically proven that women have good fertility below or early 30 years of age.

What will happen when girl child numbers get reduced?
Inference: If we are not going to have girl child in the first place and don’t treat them with respect. They will have more options to command over men. Because as the number of women are less, and men being at large, What will be the state of men?

It is time for men to think and act wisely by striking the right balance of nature. Let women survive or shall face the inevitable truth of balance of nature.

Why does RRB need the best of the best?

It might be late for me to make a post of RRB (Railway recruitment Board) Exams. I had already missed couple of bright Youngsters when I was doing my 10th Standard. My dad was a Government Employee working for I.C.F (Integral Coach Factory)  Chennai – 38 and he had little exposure to the outside world, showed me an option for a Ticket collector Job with Railways. Where I could the youngest guy making little money. 

Atleast for some years to come these young guys will the wealthiest among their peers.
Time will prove that their financial status and their personal habits go wrong.

I was fortunate among the few of my best friends who did not make it up at the final interview. And few bright kids who made it to the course at S.B.O.A school at Annanagar. End of the course my friends graduated to be ticket collectors at different parts of India.

I have been tracking few of my other friends who were doing ticket collecting jobs for the past 9 years
1997 – 4 close friends of mine joined as ticket collectors, they were all earning while we were all studying and they were the wealthiest among all our friends

1999 – one quit and went a head and did ICWA and other courses (his dad was smart kicked his ass ) finally now in the UK as a Project Manager

2002 – one more person did ICWA and other related courses and finally quit railways and now in Pune as software engineer

2004 – one person quit Now in Bangalore as software engineer, likely to get married, just made the first step in financial growth.

2006 – one person still will Railways, quite not settled, financial status is a big question. His elder brother now works as CTO for a UK based e-learning company.

Here are questions, for which I am looking for answers.

Why does RRB need good candidate for ticket collecting jobs?
A lazy duck like me could have been doing this ticket collecting job than the brighter ones who could have been brighter stars.

Apart from the training etc after some years most of them have left Railways and headed for a bright future.
RRB just wasted money on training on these bright kids and on top of that they just spoiled their careers. Atleast for some years.

What do you all have to say?
Rage or happiest times you experienced

Watching 18+ movies with my spoilt brat

Back @ home, after I come from office and break for dinner, I have the habit of watching television or during weekends I take few good English
movies to home to watch it with my family.

Have been noticing/monitoring on my son’s expression, the curiosity, eagerness who is 5 year old,

1. when I change my television channel with my remote and when it crosses the FTV (Fashion TV) channel
2. when I watch those English movies (the intimate scenes), some times which are MPAA rated saying “PG”, “PG-13″ or “R”

believe me, I can see his eyes right on to the television screen, I wish he doesn’t do that, but I can’t change the channel, so obvious that it make it too important that he should view it (when we are not there), it is almost like creating a curiosity for this small cat.

What I do?

Simple, just ignore that he is not there, and let him view what is happening.

Why I do that?

I feel if I don’t allow him to view, his curiosity just keeps building up

Now what is actually happening?

If I turn on FTV, he views it but there is no more curiosity, when there is Smooching scene, as if he is more experienced on it, we get nagged because he is playing with his toys (right when the important things are happening )

Kindly note: do understand that I don’t watch MPAA rated “NC-17″ with my son.
For rating information kindly visit this page
http://www.mpaa.org/FlmRat_Ratings.asp

Any body does, like what I do?
(seriously doesn’t make me proud, I am just experimenting)

or

there is any difference of opinion

Celebrating Children’s day with Fever

From Yesterday, my son had a running temperature and I had booked for consultation with a pediatrician this morning. This guys wakes up early this morning says “I need to go to school, it is children’s day and it is party time”

I had to cancel the consultation this morning, skipped my proper breakfast, didn’t bring lunch to office and I dropped him @ school.

The tough part which I faced apart for my Son, My car broke down
yesterday, My Bike broke down yesterday evening, lucky was able to fix
the bike, it is still raining in chennai, If I have to take my son to
doctor, I have to take an Autoricksaw if it rains.

Things which I could have done

1. Say no to school, take him to doctor
2. if he refuses to visit the doctor, spank him and straighten up things inspite of fever.
3. Let him go to school (which I currently did)

 This spoilt brat of mine has a bad attitude, he keeps cribing about the same subject “that I didn’t leave him to school” and make our life (me and my wife)  miserable for the rest of the day.

My question to parents is that, What would you have done, if  you were in my shoes?

I believe parents at Jambav can also help me out on this

currently I had made another booking for him to visit the doctor this evening.

My only feeling is that, Am I spoiling this little brat of mine, by allowing him to do things on his will.

gangofgirls & cagedLions

I read an article from forbes about relationship and career, and both the writers have written things eighter out of their own experience or articles they read from other magazines or newsletters etc that seemed to fit them, some are actual facts but will it work for us.

No advice is a perfect advice unless it is personal. Just like the designer wear, they just seemed to the exact fit.

some of the advices are so general that we get carried away and they tend to work sometimes and we just beleive that it is correct.

If you need exciting career and a loveable spouse, you need to know how to lose

1. Money
2. Your personal belonging
3. Time
4. above all listen

What I mean above, when I say you need to lose?
You have to give and take, not always one sided.

believe me I have one set of friends and their spouse working and another set of friends working and spouse taking care of elderly parent, kids and house hold stuff.
They are happy
Just to let you know that there is post on Caged Lions Manifesto by Alex D Paul, underdogged men who feel woman are part of their lives and respect their presence and tricks to save yourself from silly reasons.  And another site called gangofgirls.com, basically femnist site, where actually men are allowed with a tag “Desperate Guys”.

Do you see the difference, women already feel they are weaker sex and they quite often form a cocoon to protect themseleves and one such site is gangofgirls.

If I commit a statement like the one above, don’t you think that is my exposure towards life. Well I do respect their presence and I am not a male chauvinist, nor against the femnist, what I all trying to convey is that “be together and don’t fall for things which you find it on the web, as all information don’t pertain to you always’

My mom use to say
It is easy to get a bad name, and tough to get a good name

It works the same in relationship too
It is easy to break, but tough to stick on together

facts are good from articles, science magazines etc, just think of the chemistry you had with your spouse when you got married, your first date. I guess the chemistry will work out again, I see the chemical reaction already happening

You need balanced life, career | spouse, you need both, one gets imbalanced, I don’t have to say any more

Safety Guard could save the kid’s legs

(click on the image for the larger version)

(click on the image for the larger version)

It is a kind of feeling I got when I looked at the Honda’s Unicorn bike, How will the 10 yr old kid will be able to sit behind the bike when there is a possible safety hazard. The main problem is that Unicorn has a single shock absorber and there is no support for the legs with could lead to fatal disaster, I feel they should follow the same style as the Pulsar design which could actually help.

I am not sure will this reach the ears of honda design engineers, well it is worth the try

Disney Pixar – Cars

Courtesy :Satyam cinemas, chennai,TamilNadu, India

I had been to the “sree” – Satyam cinemas for the movie Disney Pixar – cars with my family- It was absolutely breath taking views and screeching cars, One thing to learn from the movie is about TEAM WORK and not a one MAN show.

The pity part was that movie makers don’t understand kids. They like things fast not just the fast cars even the story. Why do they want to mix romance with kids based movie, my 5 year old son asked when would the movie get finished.

My son watches the DVD of the movie 2 Fast 2 Furious most of time during weekends, The cars are fast and the story is fast, I would like to add one more title Toystory, Toystory was from the same production but I wonder why the romantic scences where too lengthy in the cars. As an Adult I enjoyed every scene, only guilt was my son didn’t enjoy it fulltime.

If you want to capture a guys time before marriage see to that the women like it, well after marriage it is kids

I am looking forward for the sequeal of fast and furious (3rd part) in India, hope the team won’t disappoint my son.
