Software profession

Hi all,
I was not blogging for more than 3 months coz i was busy with my work and did not find a computer to put my thoughts.
Coming to my Topic, “Software profession". I would like ask one question to all those highly talented/intelligent people out there in software profession.
Can super Intelligent with excellent academic track record opt Software profession as a career?
I would say in today's world, he should actually not opt it, coz he will finally end up in mid of all those under achievers, no brainers and dummies. And that highly talented guy would get faded away by accepting easier challenges throughout his career.

Look earlier there was no calculators at all and all those NO Brainers would go to intellectuals any calculations, but now things are different, even a corner shop vendor has a calculator which enables him to calculate at finger tips. And the value for those individual who used to do calculations with his finger tips has lost all importance.

So that smart guy decided to pick up a bigger challenge and invented a computer and also programmed in C, C++ and UNIX. Wrote compliers, Editors, Operating Systems and also created complex products.
All those under achievers in s/w industry are now working on different applications like development/enhancements, Testing, Coding, Support etc.
If you want above jobs compared to the calculator then it would be like creating a sine graph for a NO Brainer with the help of scientific function in the calculator.

Do you really want to do it? I am sure most of super intelligent people out there would say NO. But the driving factor in all our lives is the Money It would take higher precedence many times.
I feel sorry for those guys who are really smart out there doing all that crap work.
My suggestion to those people would be.
1. Make right decision before you enter into any industry
2. Set your expectations and plan you career accordingly
3. Always look out for more challenging work

As of now I can think only this much..do give me your comments..

Happy New Year

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.

India needs Revolution.

Have you ever renovated your house while staying in it. Believe me it is a mess. In early 90s, my father was did a small renovation of our house and we stayed in the house while extending a part of kitchen, bathroom and dining hall. I was not comfortable during those 30 days of renovation. There was no privacy coz, workers were every where doing the job. The entire place was full of dust. The small tiny particles of sand and cement were there in all the places. My mom used to clean the house all day long to keep it clean. Once the renovation completed, there was sense of relief and I particularly was happy because of no dust. I am telling you this story because this exactly fits the current Indian system. Be it the Nair Radia tapes, Telecom Scandal, common wealth scandal,political parties, etc. By seeing India from a distance, as i am currently outside India, i feel India is still in process of renovation, there is corruption every where. Everybody know all political parties and bure...

Nostalgic about food.

Have you ever experienced in your life a certain addiction to a particular food with particular flavor and taste.No matter you eat that food any where in the world you will never ever get satisfied and you constantly miss that taste.And sometime you regret that you could not eat as often as you could, simply because we could not afford it. It was way back in late eighties when i used to live in beautiful Bangalore. Unlike today Bangalore was so peace full and a calm place my brother and me used to ride a bicycle and go to a mobile shop(i.e a small shop on wheels) and eat "Masala poori" and "Pani poori" which used to cost us just Rs 1.50 a plate, together we both would spend utmost 6 rupees. we used to go some where around 7:30 and 8 PM in the night relish the great stuff.  I agree it was not the most hygienic food. After seeing the way food is prepared and eaten across the world i don...
