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.

Happy Learning!!!

Skill Assessments

Experimented Rasberry Pi3 for #Surveillance setup using #OpenCV #Haar filters, SSDLite-MobileNet-v2 on Pi4, Tensorflow Lite. Learning mindset gives me satisfaction and learning moments. (Pic source - Twitter - https://lnkd.in/fkyVwsd). Skill assessments have to be learning mindset based not objective questions based. (#linkedin, other #hiring #platforms need to understand)

#Lovewhatyoudo

You will master it anyway!!!

Guilt in Life

I have a lot of differences in my opinions, decisions with my close ones. These days I live with a lot of guilt in me. Sometimes Life will give you answers when you no longer need them. Life is tough, emotions are a pain. Time flies. Being emotionally strong and balanced is a tough trait.

Money

Money has a different dimension in terms of how we manage, save and spend
We cannot equate happiness with lavish expenses
We can definitely measure hunger when your pockets on empty
Money-saving is a skill, spending is a skill
To live a contented life you need to balance your income, savings, and expenditure
Affection/care cannot be expressed in terms of money
You can be happy with a priceless gift or unhappy with an expensive gift
Life does not need a great start but it needs a great ending

Focus on keep going.

Live Wisely.

Challenges in our country

• Focus on better education than weapons and defense
• If we have 100 students, Good education will bring the best out of 100 not the top 10 out of 100
• Innovation comes from quality education. Unrealistic and zero problem-based learning, If children are taught to solve the problem in the fastest time then they will never be able to see the big picture
• Poor policies to track and fix black money
• Divisions in name of religion/caste in every possible way
• China is a way ahead in research, product development, innovation, patents. We are nowhere to close to china
• Blame game on each other than constructive renewable and meaningful development
• Suzlon is going bankrupt whereas coal and oil-based companies are thriving, Such is the state of the economy
• Unless we accept the problems, we will never be able to find solutions
• Population cannot be controlled by policies. We need good education, Only education can clear the ignorance
• Nothing changes in tokens, for large scale change we need to rebuild the complete education system

Keep Thinking!!!

Give up or Keep Going!!!

You try 10 things but only 1 or 2 succeed. 8 things failed is one perspective, 2 things worked is a little positive motivation. Until my heart keeps beating failure is never an option. Learn, Teach and Keep Learning. I hope one day my blog stands tall with all the technical learning's.

10 Hard Hitting Scenes of Asuran

1. The Slipper scene will hurt every individual on both sides. Humanity was killed that moment
2. The question the young girl asks everyone was mute spectator was a slap on the face of humanity
3. Education is the only weapon which no one can rip off from you
4. Pass through hate. Do not fight against it
5. Where is honour if my son is not alive 
6. The cry of father and mother on losing their Son. It reveals the raw emotions of them being helpless and no one to support. Acceptance of loss is a pain was portrayed in raw emotions
7. The father does not kill Son's killer because he wants to end the loop and save his family. 
8. Organized riots were portrayed with complete coordination. When you are silent against injustice, you are part of injustice committed
9. Reach a good position and do not do what they did to you
10. Conclusion of "When you speak the same language and live in the same land, we can live together" is nice.

It took so many years to get to grassroots and understand the importance of education from historical context. This is the need for the hour!!!

A film that leaves the viewer with a pain stronger than that of any breakup one may have had - that of a strong paternal relationship, high family values and the importance of living sans communal issues.

It took a #Poomani an #Vetrimaaran to highlight before the masses the role of landowning castes in caste oppression and exploitation, something the wankers from the Dravidian movement have avoided for more than 100 years #Vekkai #Asuran #Heat

Stay Kind Keep Travelling

Completed 30K km in my Ghost Rider. I prefer the worker who takes care of the car to bless the car. This year I did it in Pranav Auto care.






Happy Driving!!!

Angel

I cared for her deeply and I had a lot of Sleepless Nights in the memories of how I could make things work again. It is a pain to lose people in life but again the pain changes you to accept the Lonely journey. All the failures are difficult in the beginning but they let you step into you are mature self. Becoming more patient, humble, less judgemental, optimistic as well open to accepting failures and learning from them.

Lonely Days!!

Think if today is Last day of life

Every night if this is going to be my last day

• What do I think about this life?
• What have I achieved?
• What are my top regrets?
• What are my top happy moments?

Let me think through my success reasonably 

• I have lived up to my values 
• I feel the humbleness patience and open to learning has been up top strength 
• Able to accept my mistakes and apologize so the regrets

Regrets

• I don't think I have been a good son are a great sibling
• I share my own pain with my inability to succeed in some of my past relationships 
• This life has been in a lot of learning I carry with me all the lessons 

I have tried my best to share the world the things I have learnt
GoodNight

What is Education ?

The primary objective of education is to

• Question your beliefs and find the truth
• Able to experiment
• Able to see things in multiple perspectives
• Find possible answers with certain degrees of thoughts, experiments
• Driven by facts
• Able to solve the problem systematically through experience

This would slowly drive you into a thinking mindset and moral compass to question everything that you do to why you do. If we do not question anything we will not learn anything.

Keep Learning, Keep Thinking!!!

Life

Loved this Lines from my own Quora Answer

You Lose to Learn
You Win to Lose Again
You Lose to Learn Again

That's Life!!!

Healing

Healing is the process of acceptance of own mistakes, regrets, failures. Healing means you know more about yourself and your strengths, weaknesses. To reach the state of mental toughness you need to go through a lot of reading, travel, look around and find the perspectives, a bit of depression.

When people leave you, disappoint you, they teach you a lesson. In a way, they are your master. Learn better to avoid such future situations, improve on your instincts, improve on your thought process, ideas, efforts, patience, humility, and kindness.

I Hate MCQ Questions

I am not sure if knowledge comes from choosing the best answer. After spending so many years I have three types of knowledge

Theory - You know the concepts. OS / Compiler / Concepts. As part of work, I never was deeply involved in these areas where I understand theoretically

Practice - After working a good amount of time in the Database, I finally understand internals, query execution, performance tuning. The insights from work are the key things.

Theory and Practice - AI in my 2.0 learning is like learn-code-share. I don't think we can measure skills or problem solving with proven interview questions. I prefer to do personal projects from time to time to keep myself updated.

I have some ideas, perspectives, working knowledge, few thoughts. Its the mindset that matters not the marks.

With so many people and so good marks and very few changes in the real world. Time to question our beliefs and relearn the basics.

Fantastic Thought - Simplicity

"I do not believe in honors.
The prize is the pleasure of finding the thing out,
The kick in the discovery,
The observation that other people use it"

"I was an ordinary person who studied hard. There's no miracle people!"
