Keep Questioning!!!
Right / Wrong is a perception but Karma answers right on time!!!
Diya - The unborn child movie
Karma is Fatal and Final
Diya movie is a 'Cult' one in my perspective. It speaks a lot about the wishes/life of an aborted child. Story narration is very gripping, painful. The child 5 years comes up silently and her silence reflects the unspoken pain of an aborted child.
We reap what we sow. Live with fewer regrets.
Crime against women
Crime against women comes from a lot of perspectives, Why it happens? Its not just one reason to nail down.
- Reflecting poor value system
- Incomplete moral education
- Treat women outside your women as objects
- Double standards of movies to promote women as sexual objects
- The gap between worshipping women in the temple vs strip them when getting the opportunity
- The top 10 websites visited included porn sites, Facebook, TikTok - This seems to reflect the needs of a generation
- Open discussion about sex education, morality, and values
What you sow, so you reap. This will come and affect only your generations. You can get away from Law but you will witness the same reflecting in your roots and generations. Karma is Fatal and Final.
Keep Thinking!!
Education
My Perspective at 20
- Education is the ability to memorize and re-represent
- Knowledge is remembering formula, pictures, answering 10 marks, 5 marks, MCQ
- Marks represent Intelligence
My Perspective at 30
- You have to relearn to stay relevant in the job
- Every day things change, you need to learn with passion or do something that you like to do
- Education does not matter ability to apply/connect/explain matters more
My perspective now nearing 40 in few years
- It is ok to say you don’t know everything, Call out what you know how you would do it
- Everything you learn will help you at some point in time
- Average scores, able to learn as and when needed is good enough. Career, Life is a marathon, You just need to be better than your own past records
Stay Kind, Be Good, Die with Less Guilt!!!!
What I did during Rough patches of my Life
I pitched for my startup ideas
I did training/freelancing
I traveled alone
I spent most of my time alone
I documented my emotions
I tried alcohol - I hate it, It doesn't solve anything
Cry out loud, Feel the pain, Get out of it
Productivity / Happiness will not the be same every day. It's ok for some days to be empty / zero your efforts. Relax / Think / Be Happy.
Just be your best buddy!!!
A lot like love - Cult Movie
Real love happens over years, not right away or within a few months. Watch this movie when feeling blue..such a feel-good movie n love their chemistry
Lyrics key sections
I never understood before.
I never knew what love was for.
My heart was broke, my head was sore -
What a feeling.
Love will remain a mystery,
But give me your hand, and you will see.
Your heart is keeping time with me.
I got a feeling in my soul.
Love burns brighter than sunshine,
Brighter than sunshine.
Let the rain fall, I don't care.
I'm yours, and suddenly you're mine.
Suddenly, you're mine.

The cycle of upliftment
- Provide free education - Still, people don't come to school
- Provide free food - People come to school for Hunger
- No money to commute - Free bus pass
- No money for books - Provide scholarships
- No money to stay - Provide free hostels
- No money for parents - Provide 100-day minimum jobs scheme
To get a generation educated we need so many social welfare measures to get them closer to education. With a good living, a well-to-do family you will not appreciate these unless you go through it. Real upliftment came from all these social measures. It is very hard to get a first-generation graduate. Unless you get collective growth you can never grow/innovate at scale.
People attending paid Byjus, Akash IIT will never know the pain of poverty, affordable quality education. Digital mediums should provide more access/guidance for the needy. We need to clear the misconceptions, understand the fundamentals to the core.
As long as you are divided by caste/religion you will never be able to innovate, learn, share or improve your environment. A knowledge-driven society will evolve not a blind beliefs-based system. I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned (Feynman quote :))
Tamilnadu is better performing only because of social welfare schemes. To go far, go together.

Keep Thinking!!!
Ten things when you feel work pressure
- Analyze do you have skills or is it a skill gap? Either fill the gap or choose a job which matches your skills
- Be smart, not hardworking. Life is short. Everyone can be replaced but your family needs you. Pick jobs, pick and choose tasks that meets your time and efforts
- You cannot win every battle, It's ok to lose in certain situations for your own peace
- Clean your mind from pressure, job, everything. Quit and take a break as and when needed
- Work out of own interest. Build your own futuristic version in your own learning plan
- Be better than yesterday, last month, and last year. You are your own competition
- When you fix your weakness double up on your strengths
- Collect small ideas, small code snippets, small lessons which will give you more clarity, perspectives for implementation
- Be genuine, kind, don't fake anything. If you don't care keep your mouth shut
- Life is short, Don't stab anyone or a copycat. Build your own trail always and forever
- Sometimes tasting failures give us bitterness which helps us to value the sweetness of success

People management
What is people management?
- Not victimizing them for their different views
- Respecting their leaves/vacations
- Put yourself in their shoes
- Give them genuine advice
- Able to connect with them
What is not people management?
- Friday night drinks
- Team outing
- Dumbsharads
Be Genuine!!!
Commoditize and make knowledge more democratic
What's unique about Tamilnadu?
Instead of 1 best Engineering college, we have 500 Average Engineering colleges. The benefits are. The way we see merit is not merit, it is testocracy. Innovation is a collective effort. Innovation does not come from a single source. By encouraging more social participation you can contribute to collective growth.
Tomorrow when someone talks about merit, Remember newton would have failed even IIT exams because we don't measure merit with knowledge but by the ability to choose from multiple-choice questions. I would rather prefer to be a lifelong learner than a topper at some point in life.
Life never stops teaching you. Average education and good moral values is all we need. I would not close my eyes and live my life alone. I cannot live at peace when I see someone suffer. Together only we grow not as individuals.
Keep Going!!!
Keep Running
Win or lose run the marathon with Hope, kindness, and optimism. As long as we live, there is hope. But the dead won't come back. We will have to live with it. Forever.
- Keep Running
Some thoughts that align my views
- Death is not due to Covid, but due to the corrupt system and people that we have in this country.
- Whose inactions lead to this situation
- The sad and tragic thing is that in India, these deaths were avoidable.
- Hope that this pandemic will end soon, hope that we will take our lessons
- The feeling of helplessness is unprecedented for most of us
- Unimaginable loss for people who have lost their loved ones
- India can launch nuclear missiles from land, air & sea to destroy its enemies. But it doesn't have enough hospital beds, oxygen, ambulances, drugs & doctors to save its citizens during a pandemic.
- Statues and buildings vs mini-hospitals and schools
- Focus on organizing larger religious events and election rallies
- Temples vs Schools
- Missiles vs Medicines
- Find the reason
Quit all, Just empty your Soul
Forget all the past
Forget all the bitterness
Forget all that you lost
Forgive all those memories that haunt you
Just Learn
Be more kind
Accept and Understand then argue
Forget, Forgive, Move on, It's just one more day to live
We don't take anything with us nor we don't like forever
'TESTOCRACY' VS. 'MERITOCRACY'
"about how we reevaluate the meaning of merit by measuring its democratic values rather than its testocratic machinery"
Amartya Sen’s definition of merit as an incentive system that rewards actions society values – in our society
Link - post
Good read - link
Key Points
What’s wrong with meritocracy?
- It endorses a competitive, linear, hierarchical system in which by definition certain people must be left behind
- Unrealized talent is therefore both the necessary and structural condition of its existence.
- Requiring people to be in a permanent state of competition with each other
- Climbing the ladder is simply much harder for some people than others
- Availability of material and psychological resources depends on social location
- ‘flexploitation’(flex-ibility + exploitation) rather than‘flexicurity’(flexibility + security)
- Hereditary meritocracy

The children of the rich and powerful are increasingly well suited to earning wealth and power themselves
Are elitist institutions the reason for two Indias? | ThinkEdu2020
- Is merit really achievable?
- How many graduates from first time graduates?
- System perpetuating the educated class
- Does brain power perpetuate across generations

Modern education:
— Richard Feynman (@ProfFeynman) May 12, 2021
Creating people who are smart enough to accurately repeat what they are told and follow the orders.
And dumb enough to think this makes them smarter than everyone else. 🧠
What does school really teach children:
— Richard Feynman (@ProfFeynman) May 10, 2021
• Truth comes from authority.
• Intelligence is the ability to remember and repeat.
• Accurate memory and repetitions are rewarded.
• Non-compliance is punished.
• Conform: Intellectually and socially.
Things that Schools should teach: 🧠
— Richard Feynman (@ProfFeynman) May 10, 2021
• Being wrong is not a bad thing.
• It's Okay to question what you have been taught.
• Grades aren't as valuable as skills.
• Understanding is more important than memorization.
• Making mistakes is Okay. Learn from your mistakes.
Education is not learning to do a repetitive process. It is understanding, questioning, asking #why, and taking it to next level.
Education System: pic.twitter.com/8tjpsWe8wv
— Richard Feynman (@ProfFeynman) May 17, 2021
- MCQ Pressure is not a measure of knowledge
- MCQ Time management is not a measure of intelligence
- Experimental knowledge vs Ability to recollect
- Choose the right answer vs Eliminating the wrong answer
- Knowledge comes from reasoning and experimentation
Dropout in the education system is not a failure of students but a failure of the education system. True intelligence is built from learning, experimenting, failing. It is not built overnight or by copy-past and running code.
Keep Thinking!!!
Happy mothers day without any wishes
Yes I don't think I can ever compensate anything in words
Relationships break
Friends come and go
Siblings fight
People come and go
The most tolerant person in my life is my mom only
The most unkind/selfish I would not hesitate to accept I am
I was a bit unwell, A friend of mine prescribed some medication
Above all, I was feeling health going down. I managed to come back home. It was purely my ego to cook, eat, survive on my own. In a way stupidity in emotions. I am better now recovering. I feel regretful for every death I hear. Death takes away the dreams, promises, the hope of many people. Stay safe, Break the chain. Support each other emotionally. Be less guilt-filled and less regretful. More than death how to be a source of kindness, optimism matters.
Let all this heal, we become more kind, optimistic, and supportive.
Keep Thinking!!!
Mindset of people
Everywhere in my circles, we are not comfortable to speak the issues. We believe everything is a number until it happens to us. It is a pity we don't value / think about why we are in this situation. The so-called education factories where you pay, get world-class tuition, get into institutions and build your own life without caring for who dies or lives.
There is no feeling of morality or kindness or care. It is like all is well for me. It will not take much time for the imbalances to result in hunger, poverty leading to more crimes. The government is responsible for making citizens self-sustainable. Unless we give good meaningful values, moral values, these hundreds of temples, religions will continue to flourish as well become blind to our dying neighbors.
Keep Thinking!!!
Some melting moments
Never be blind to others' sufferings. What happens to them today will happen to you tomorrow.
How do we break covid chain ?
- Vaccinate everyone free of cost
- Start from unorganized sector, police, healthcare, daily workers
- Create more awareness
- Spend more on sanitization
- Evaluate other ways of medication - Siddha/ Ayurveda
- Invest / Innovate and encourage large scale innovation
- Make the medicine core Intellectual property free / let everyone leverage and create it in large scale
- Every life matters not just people who have money
Keep Thinking!!!
Panic
Yea, I felt a bit panicked
- Dry Cough
- Dizziness
- Bit of nose block
- Intentionally trying out deep breath fearing I have some issue
Had an action 500 morning and slept. Yea, Not afraid of death but do not want a painful one. Then try out homemade remedies
- Saltwater gargling
- Ginger / Elachi Team
- Vicks Vapour
I have slept from 8-12 then awake from 12-5am, Then again sleep till 12. I do not know what is my timezone
Hope everyone recovers from this pandemic soon!!!!
The bad, The worst, The cruel Life
With so much rampant pandemic and people dying every second
- Who is responsible for this
- How do families survive losing their breadwinners
- Two years of loss of education and dropouts
- The job loss for poor and daily workers
- Our bleak, broken, and fragile healthcare system
- Twitter is flooded with cremation, ICU beds request, distress calls
- Every tweet mentions some loved ones passed away
Very depressing, sad, and regretful/forgetful days in life. Hospitals making 10X money, there is no value for life, nor for money. This inequality will cascade and create a more painful future for them. We have failed when we fail to take care of everyone.
This reflects our culture, values, humanity. We are selfish to the core. 98% selfish and 2% selfless. But that 2% are helpless as they are financially weak.
What we sow, so we reap. Until we don't learn our lessons we will continue to suffer. You have to live on your own when all your systems fail to give you a living.
The billionaires keep making token donations and a larger PR image. Citizens who cannot live without mobile phones. Internet is cheap but everything else is expensive. When you do not see all your people equally you will not let the poor learn, grow or be self-sustainable. Nature has a way to balance man-made imbalances. Either the system reboots itself or nature will format out in near future. When we do not hold accountability and play the blame game we will never understand others' pain.
Very sad day!!!!
