My perspective - Why Understanding beats Knowledge

Loved this article 

What we do in IT today?
  • Learn Quickly
  • Put pieces of code from Github / Google Search
  • Functionality up and running
What I try to do?
  • Understand Why you do?
  • How it is different from what I already know?
  • Pick simple samples?
  • Is there a way to solve it in my own way?
  • Understand / Learn / Experiment

Kindness





Stay Kind!!!

Be a Gentleman


It's a tough fight between two sides of the coin, Good Vs Bad, Selfishness vs Selflessness. Being true to yourself and accumulating less guilt is a way for a peaceful life.

Everything will come back to you good/bad. Choose kindness, peace, optimism.


 

Stay Kind!!!

How to stay 'forever employable' - Embracing Uncertainty!!!

My views on Article 

  • Embrace entrepreneurialism - Trainer, MVP, Product Ideation-Creation
  • Develop self-confidence - Do something selfless automatically it will boost your mindset
  • Learn continuously - Express, Teach and Connect in the most simple form
  • Improve constantly - Logics / Ideas will refine over a period of time, Keep Simplifying it and connecting it to known ideas
  • Reinvent - As you start doing the above things you can create your own path to move your 'name' as your 'brand' presents itself.
Have multiple avenues of income / diverse sources of income. You never know which bank/share is going to crash. Keeping a diverse fund is going to help in times of financial crunch.

Embracing Uncertainty!!!

My School days

I am running from shadow to shadow to avoid the noon sunlight, I run fast when the sun catches me and walk slowly under the shadows of trees.

We usually have this from 12.30PM to 1.30PM. This is like a Marathon. 12.45PM to reach home. 1.05PM leave for school. In this 20 mins marathon finish lunch quickly and catch a glimpse of serial 'Varisu'.

I kept running this marathon till my 10th standard :). It was memorable. This is my School.




Happy Memories!!!

Manipulative media / Money

The media / expert opinions on how many of us think it is unbiased? neutral? 
Why do opinions are conveyed from emotions? Not from Data Perspectives?
Do we report everything that happens or that's convenient?
How does the elite manage to evade the law?
Does a poor, uneducated person get the same treatment as educated, elite visiting hospitals, banks, making a complaint?
Do we build policies considering the consequences in the long run? How are we on par with the policies of japan / Finland / Sweden?
Is our goal to innovate at scale or innovate for the elite ? 
Why we have been only exporting working not innovating anything? 

Education when it is denied it will result in bigger catastrophic economic imbalances. Hope we focus on fundamentals.


Flip Side of perspectives

What looks happy today may not be happy when we look back after sometime
What looks painful today may be a new lesson for tomorrow
What is painful today may lead to a beautiful beginning
Emotions are endless waves that keep hitting the shores day and night
We can never calm the sea, nor our emotions, We need to sail deep through the sea to find our true self
In the end, everything that kills you makes you feel alive!!!

The stupidity / complexity of MCQ

Let's take an example. In a certain implementation, we have this definition 'Process A is applied, After that Process B is applied, we obtain the end result'

The Multiple Choice answers would be like

  • Process A, followed by B
  • Process B, followed by A
  • A, B work in parallel
  • A, B are independent process

When we are doing something practically we will remember it from steps, end results. This step/sequence will be implied learning. With the MCQ this becomes more of remember, memorize, recall, attention-based learning.
Because of this type of question only our 'Engineers lack creativity', 'Doctors lack empathy'.
Exams must be a measure of applied knowledge not memorized knowledge. It is a sad state with all the level of entrance exams designed to kill curiosity and experimentation.
This kind of system only makes us incompetent at a global level. Remember why we are not able to create Tesla / innovate at par with China.

Keep Thinking!!!

Tax Burden

I feel tax on bank balances is a burden, I am not really sure the benefits we have during a job loss. Again no secondary sources of income, this is tax heavy. I didn't like the part of taking even the bank balances. This seems so weird. How much of indirect taxes go every day for Food, Diesel, Toll, TDS from salary. Still, on top of it, we need to pay a lot more.

Not sure how to sustain this in the long run!!!


50% Life

Personally, I have hit a rock bottom. I have 50% of my Life for a Larger Purpose. That's the only thing that drives me to keep doing things. In a way, everything appears like a mirage, illusion.

Life is so tough for the poor, daily wage workers, how many people are living with an empty stomach, unable to afford quality education. In a way, the corona has taken a toll on a lot of middle class.

Education policies, exams have taken away a lot of jobs from the middle class, migrants, and people living near Below Poverty Life. How many of them can afford quality education to clear NEET, JEE, CAT? In a way the elite folks will only emerge from affordable families who can economically afford, educated, and able to coach their kids on top of their education.

These policies divide the gap between rich/poor as well as their future generations too. 

In a way the possibility of a kid studying in remote parts of the country getting top 1% in gate/cat/neet impossible with all the systems we have built and made things impossible for the poor and needy.

Hunger and the unstable environment will turn them into daily workers. I feel this pic summarizes the state of society


One way to think life is to be selfish and stay blind to things that happen around us. Another way is to think about what changes the system needs to make it more accessible for the needy.

In a way, we are selfish and stay blind. We didn't progress because we didn't work together. The disease of divisions in name of race, caste has done more harm than any good.

Affordable families can buy educational and start training kids at very early stages. This again shows the impact of finance on education. Equality and Equal competition will not be there. This early education will help them be creative, experimental with personalized learning but sadly this is not available for everyone!!!


Keep Thinking!!!

Job Change

A job change is not about the duration of employment. It is more about are you able to do what you want to do. You can do only certain things being a copilot. Only a pilot can steer in the right direction. No matter how much you are technically equipped you need to be in the pilot seat to take control of bold initiatives.

Keep Going!!!

Being unhappy is a sign of focus

Whenever I'm unhappy I don't care about thinking twice conveying my points. In a way, many failures pushed me beyond my comfort zone. I also fear this makes me more of an outlier. I keep chasing newer goals, some more milestones losing focus on everything else in life. I keep learning, learning not sure if I had this level of focus even during school days. Passing an exam is not the criteria. Building your portfolio and knowledge to the roots. Taking a deep perspective and having clarity over your solutions in various dimensions matters.

Go on, Keep Going, Chase the world, Ignite the knowledge and curiosity!!!

Ten wishes in coming months


  1. Be a good teacher
  2. Learn selectively, deep dive
  3. Stay patient, pay attention to detail
  4. Settle down with the right mindset
  5. Separate time vs passion. Don't be bound to do without passion
  6. Travel more be open
  7. Engage in meaningful and thoughtful reading
  8. Sleep more, stay quiet and read more
  9. Focus, focus, focus
  10. Build your portfolio 

Keep Going!!!

Mindset of winning

Everyone is a motivational guru, love guru, spiritual guru. I kept searching for the definition of completeness all over to finally figure out everything in my own experiences. To live a meaningful life you need to have clarity of your priorities, plan, and reasonable knowledge and data-driven insights. Competitiveness is defined by working where you deliver your best and set your bar to the next best level. Money is not a success. Mindset is the root cause of success/satisfaction. Not every success is defined by money. In a way a constant search for knowledge, doing things in larger interests, drawing the line between selfishness and selflessness is what defines a winner of life. Before we become ashes and worms we need to be of some use for mankind and nature. 

Live consciously!!!

Thinking about Life

Sometimes life is just sit down, relax, observe, and do nothing. Do little things with great attention. Never be in control of anything in Life. Let it all go, be happy with learning, experimenting, and traveling.

For property there is GST
For Gold there is GST
For Salary there is Tax
For learning/knowledge there is no Tax

At least to survive in this world you need to be smart enough to have good health, an emotionally balanced mindset, and a good learning acumen.

Life is simple, Live Well!!!

Smile and Part Ways

I saw you, I recognized. I know your eyes also connected. All the memories were coming in front of my eyes. A quick thought I understood its a 'History'. I 'smiled' and left the place with a polite gesture. Somethings are best conveyed with 'Smiles'. The moment made me happy because life is busy going on with the people we care for. We cannot repair every bridge we lost/got lost. This was a dream but the dream was beautiful.

Everything in life moves on with Optimism and Hope.

Keep Smiling!!!

How not to over work ?

Be clear on what you want to accomplish?
More than random work, be clear on the path ?
Build your perspective on areas to explore, experiment?
Have a mindmap on to-do and timeline?
Break every 20 mins and wash your face?
Take a short walk?
Think about sharing perspectives?

Passing Clouds

Some seasonal people we meet we assume they are lifetime connections
Some people disappear when their dependencies are over
Some people disappear when we can't do any further favor
Some people just connect with you to share perspectives
Some people connect with you to find where you are and compare against their levels
Some people connect with you to lower your morale
Some people connect with you just for their advantages
Everything will disappear at some point in time
Be alone in your Journey, You are not meant to offload yourself on anyone
Keep Going!!!


Connected things in Life


This circle is the hardest thing to balance, understand and implement :)

Keep Thinking!!

Maturity

Maturity is taking a stab and not giving it back
Maturity is kindness
Maturity is forgiveness
Maturity is compassion
Maturity is caring
Maturity is knowing when to leave
Maturity is knowing when not to hurt
Maturity is understanding that pain is necessary
Maturity is not giving back the pain you endured because of them

We all evolve and become a better version of ourselves. Surviving pain makes you stronger, bolder, and move further.

Sometimes silence and smile are the best answers in Life!!!

Keep Going!!!

Happy Memories

Some days look beautiful even if those days won't come back
It was mad, crazy with all the happiness
It was beautiful with the understanding
It was disciplined with the respect
It was respectful with all the care
Somehow anger, mistrust took it to turn
Some bad days just took away all the happiness
It took me so many months, sleepless nights to understand, accept, move on
We never leave people whom we cared, we only think about them in silence
Silence is beautiful, We all care for each other. 

Keep Going!!!

Babies to Birds

In the last few days how few babies quickly had grown into birds






Happy Flying!!!

Priorities of Life

Sometimes death scares me, aging scares me. I am scared to see a lot of white hairs and aging of my mom. As a son, I doubt if I have lived up to her expectations, I regret not being able to make her wishes come true. In one way I feel personally I am a bit late on the personal aspects of life. Another way, I fear for the loss of people around me, I remember during my childhood fearing for death, what will happen? Whenever I come across something I used to correlate and feel scared.
We can have a disagreement, but we can’t hate anyone. We can fight but we can’t forget. Everything calms down settles after some time. Looking back some normal days look beautiful today as those days won’t come back again.

I am not sure how the running for living, living in present, finding a family, and living in peace all of them come together well. Probably it's my inability to balance I remained single till date 😊
Death is inevitable, what all can I do before my end day. Am I happy or achieved something as of today?

What best I can do from my end for free education, optimism, positivity, dent for a change
Keep Thinking!!!

The Creative Guru – My Mom

I am amazed by my Mom’s creativity and providing a newer perspective to designing things at home, changing furniture, the screen, color choices. I am mostly like
  • Think what’s pending @ work
  • Next steps for progress on a to-do list
  • Stick to Late night NatGeo (Banged Up Abroad, Air Crash Investigation)
Life has been monotonous like a zoo animal. Code – Eat – TV – Sleep. I feel sleepless whenever I think of things that are going on. Social perspective what to do next, free teaching was to step up the game. When to quit this system and run away and live my life. The fight club movie poster runs in my mind right now 😊





Keep Thinking!!!

Empty promises

You promised me a lifetime but left in a few months
You took all my time only to occupy my mind and life and dump me altogether
Your words were sweet and actions were silent
I wondered how this silence was an accomplice in crime
And those memories are lingering in my mind
It's all different faces of people we see before they exhaust our energy and time 

Keep Going, Stay Focused!!!

Forgiveness

Forgiveness is kindness
Forgiveness is maturity
Forgiveness is peace
Forgiveness is love
Forgiveness is beauty
Forgiveness is compassion
Forgiveness is attitude 

Living in the dreamland

I was driving through the ghat section. It was lush green and the view was fantastic. I stopped near a hairpin bend to get a glimpse of clouds and mountains. She stepped out and looked at clouds and said a very nice view. I smiled and looked back I drove all way long to see this point of view. Maybe this what happiness means. I felt may the rough patches and mountains I crossed were all my previous failures. I thought of this when I saw the viewpoint. I was alone looking at the clouds and lost myself in this dream of someone next to me. Yea it's an imagination yet something that I wish it could have happened or will happen in near future.

Keep going!!!
