My perspective of Life

Astrology - No star can make your life shife unless you make an effort to make your life meaningful

Breakup - Maturity means your memories don't stop you going forward as you accept past as a blessing, kindness, and lesson

Hope - I know I’m not perfect but that does not stop me correcting myself to be the best version of myself

Coding - Coding every day makes you a better programmer

Purpose - Get Back to the best version of self-aware self

Creativity - Constant thinking to find small improvements

Career - Don’t believe a career is based on what you do currently. Always be agile and willing to learn new things in your field of interest

Education - Keep education always a priority. Have the habit of learning, experimenting always

Purpose - "When its time to die there is a pleasure when you have utilized your life, learned as much as possible, enjoy this one lifetime" - Isaac Asimov

The Emotional Life - Keep Learning

When it's difficult to meet the expectations of your closed ones, understand the reality aspects of people you trust. It's often frustrating that both practical and emotional aspects need a balance. Never make any decisions without considering the practical aspects of Life. It's better to think and take decisions than hurrying. Maintaining and staying in limits so that we don't cross boundaries.

Maintaining a fine line between personal and professional things at work is also important. Often when you are emotionally disturbed it affects your professional life as well. In this life, we need a different level of understanding to be true to our beliefs, expectations.

Life is not as easy as it looks. Growth in career, personal life requires a lot of consistent focus and perseverance. Money is not a measure of happiness. Beyond money, the awareness, familiarity, knowledge, and kindness are the key things to look up to retrospect life.

2019 Retrospection

• Professionally - It was good learning exploring Pi, OpenVino, and learning building a few key projects. Year where my ideas went to the next level to NRF
• Personally - I screwed up my life yet again. Never I am able to bring consensus with my closed ones. I did actually hurt a lot of people in this process. Emotionally this year is also a bomber. No more marriage plans. 
• Teaching / Blogging - These two aspects are the best part of this year. I was able to teach more / explore, My answer stats across different channels is up to 1.5 million-plus
• Patents - After a long fight this year gave a good push for patents, Also, improved my data science blog rating to 54, the best as of now
• Driving - Another milestone 35K almost. Driving / Learning/ Coding / Blogging are the key things that kept me alive this year.

Looking forward to more Driving / Learning/ Coding / Blogging.

Expectations vs Reality

Often it's easy to talk, hard to follow. Many times in conversations when everything looks fine but in reality, you find a lot of difference in the perspective to get things going. Life is not just working with like-minded people but how much we can accommodate the limits of accepting/adjusting for a common goal.
Sometimes it's better to stop the journey when we spot the differences are huge. The more difficult people we meet the tougher it becomes to spot the right people. Always draw a line to ensure everything happens within the limits. Even when we part ways, part with mutual respect. Of course, We are not taught to handle Emotional Failures in Life.

Data Driven Decisions

For everything, we need to be data-driven, to decide on the performance of governments, policies etc. Every policy should have a goal, methodology, and measure over a period of time. Even the Governments need to be measured by performance, not on promises.

• Education - policy - What it takes to make it employable - measure 
• Innovation - policy - What it takes to promote innovation - measure 
• Industries policy - Sustainable and Renewable energy-based  
• Methods to prevent corruption - Digital Transactions at every level - Multi-party execution - Promote Morality and Empathy

Happy Learning!!!

Next Decade Goals (2020 - 2030)

• Promote Innovative ways to Learn
• Do more of DIY projects
• Promote Self Education, Independent thinking, Empathy, and Kindness

Happy Learning!!!

Academic pressure Vs Suicides

There is no correlation between academic pressure and life success. Life is a balance of many things, not just academic success. It's bad to see people justify suicides to academic pressure. When you teach education as a pressure cooker with time-bound expectations nothing will be creative, experimental learning. Merely remembering facts and applying formulas is not the purpose of education. Sad state of the perspective of education!!!

Education - Revisited

There are three types of education needed to Survive in India

• Theoretical Fact-based education / MCQ Systems - Since, you have a lot of competition and this is the methodology to evaluate and you need to follow it no matter what
• Concepts / Thinking based - To Explore any domain it needs constant thinking, experimentation. This aspect is needed in terms of doing 'Why it works this way'
• Self Education - Both 1 & 2 are for survival. This self-education is the liberation of the soul. Finding the truth from the noise. Identify and question with a scientific mindset.

It is a pity we don't foster thinking, experimentation, and creativity but rather a rat race to pick best out of thousands. To fix the problem you need to go on top of the problem else you will not have an impact and influence to fix the problem.

India's strength is its population and since education is not standardized, it becomes an inherent weakness. India can be a gateway to innovation if we can educate or provide the confidence to every kid in India to believe they can make a difference. Civilization progressed because there were few people who questioned why does this work like this. Real education is about humanity, respect, kindness. When you are truly educated you will not see differences in lines of race/religion/caste. Education is to bring humanity within ourselves and more kindness to your fellow human beings.

• Raise your Learning Bar
• Learn and Share
• Teach others / Blog be a positive influencer
• Let everyone understand their inner self than following social media
• Always stay kind forever

Financial Problems vs Life

This suicide haunted me today link1, link2
33-year-old Bharat committed Suicided. After this incident, his Wife and Daughter also committed suicide
Few things to observe

• A young couple (30's)
• Having Kid
• Financial troubles 

Financial problems are just one word to close the issue. Today's job market is very dynamic. We are prone to spend more and save less in the consumer-centric world. With loads and loads of population, cheap labor, poor quality of education there is competition in every sector.

The root cause of all this is the poor system of education. Education is expensive, In the end, this education system just makes you remember facts. This is another debate (Usefulness of this education system). We do not innovate, this education system kills the confidence of the graduates. Valuable three lives are lost.

You have to be a self-learner, save more / spend less, trust your instincts. Do not follow the crowd then only you can live a safe life.

Never follow the materialistic world and showoff things. Learn, Teach, Help, Live quietly. Never trust media, social media and useless expenses in Life. No matter how many relatives they had they took such a bad decision. 

Save more, Learn more, Spend Less, Be a better parent. 

Short Life

My Dad passed away 4 years back. Today my mom was not well. I feel the aging factor in me at times. Always I kept focussing on career and less focus on people around me. I regret prioritizing my career all my Life.

I hope I change myself for the better.
