My Thoughts

Do you know how much of black money is there in India? I am sure, we all know it must be very huge money, It is around 2 Lakh Core Rupees!!!! Now next big question will be how to get back them, I mean how to make them white, can we really do it. One option can be by asking the people to return all the black money to government & get no punishment/penalty. This scheme can get around 5% of black money to be converted to white. Even if you try to do raids, searching, freezing bank accounts might lead to another 5%. To get back rest 90 percent, it is very difficult because, corrupt people are not going to bend for these simple steps. So what could be other best option? Can we to do a tit for tat for these corrupt people. Yes it is possible. People keep most of the black money in denominations 500/- and 1000/- in their houses, lockers & other places. So RBI can freeze all 500 & 1000 denomination notes. And allow the exchange of notes to only those people who can give income tax ...

Booming, emerging market, India shining, place to invest, feel good factor and all other sophisticated phrases about India makes you feel proud and make you bullish about future. But a million dollar question will be, can we have adequate infrastructure to support this. Do we have any plan in place? Or are we thinking of having a plan for future. I always tinker around with this question, why we Indians are very bad in planning. I would say, starting from politicians to software companies all stand at same level when it comes to planning. Take Bangalore of instance, we do not have any plan to accommodate some many people, companies & market. we just have is name sake planning and all development is done for eye wash and for personal gains Similarly take any software company, people are hired first without any planning. Once a new entrant is into the company they need to wait at least for 1 week to get there seating location and for computers. further developers do codin...

Today I was going through the news paper and I found IIMK website crashed because of large number of server hits were made through browser clients. This made me think, why our designing of any system does not take into the consideration of size and complexity. We just look into the functionality of the application and ensure it works for it. We never test the system for large number of request. I have noticed it, in lot of occasions.Whether it is state board exam result or any competitive exam result. For the above case we could have designed the IIMK result page in such as way that the website would 1. Take application number, date of birth, email id and other details and sends the results to the provided email. This would have prevented the server from crashing at least. 2. Appropriate hardware enhancement could have been made; IBM has come up with on demand server enhancement concept where you can enhance the server based upon the application usage. 3. List of logged user could ha...

I wish all my blog readers a very Happy New Year, Let the year 2007 bring in all the success and happiness to you all. This year I felt the New Year celebration in Bangalore was more colorful and I could see more people on streets compared to last year. I received many SMS, with messages saying that the network will be jammed on 31st December. But in fact our service providers were all set for more traffic for 31st December. They could manage it. I guess Airtel, BSNL, HTUCH, Spice, Reliance, TATA & other mobile/Telephone service providers made good money on this New Year occasion. It is estimated around 1 Billion rupees!!!. This reminds me the Hutchison-Essar deal; it is estimated to be around 17 to 18 billion dollars. So if you make right calculations, 10 such New Year occasions will make the company go past break even and make more profits.
