An Open Letter to Arvind Kejriwal
28th December 2013, Saturday. I was one of happiest people of India who thought, "Yes now we will change". There are thousands of people came in your swear-in ceremony. You were so simple yet smart and over all, it was "Dream comes true" moment. Sir, you and your team had really struggled lot to achieve that and I must congratulate you for that.But real question is, why I congratulate right now? Answer of this question is reason I am writing this letter to you.
I would like to go back and remind you glimpse of few things, which changed Indian Politics. First of them was, next day to India won cricket world cup in April 2011, there was Dharna by IAC in Jantar Mantar and people across india came there. and that was the first time I and many others like me come to know about you. Anna was face of that Dharna but you were actual brain after that thing. I really admire you for your timing at that time.
It was more fascinating when you did it again. and this time it was more controversial as anna hazzare was taken to jail and then released and it was 13 day high drama happen at Jantar Mantar and whole nation was watching at you as next massiah. If election took place at that day you will surely get 500 out of 543 electoral seats.
After that you seat on fast for lokpal bill and on first day tv channels were interviewing your kids and parents regarding your fast. You had that fast for 10 days and said political fight is only option. And I totally respect that. You have your party in Aam Aadmi Party in November 2012. and Just in one year you became Chief Minister of Delhi and that's why I congratulate and respect you.
But sir, what happen after you become CM? In just time span of several days, you come to know that politicians will not allow you to work. Every BJP and Congress leader was saying why you are not bringing Lokpal in Delhi. and on the day you bring it. They said it's against law and Constitution of India. and you resigned.
Till last few days, I, unlike many other indians, thinking you are different and we should not see you like same glasses we watch to other politicians. but in this few days your tone has changed, Why should not we treat you like Nitish Kumar or Naveen Patnayak or any other politician. Again sir, There is nothing wrong in what you did as politician but as leader you broke heart of many indians like me.
Fighting against Modi, is really master stroke as politician. but way you behave in gujarat or in bangluru is not like you. Sir you talk about fighting against corruption and make party out of it and then won a election. but when you fight in Loksabha election, you says "Communal Problems are worse then Corruption" This is not what I accept from you.
You came to gujarat and you spend 2 days out of ur 4 days in Kachchh, which is place where I live, People asked you some tough questions and you avoided it as smart politician. and I respect that. but if you want to do that then accept that you are politician who change his colors depend on time.
I know many people told you this, but I am repeating it one more time. That give us just one good thing for why we vote for you in this election? Even if you win, you are not going to make a government. You are also saying that there will be election in next one year if we vote for you. Isn't it better we vote for party which can stay in power for next 5 years, give india stability and growth? and in 2019, you come with all power and master politician. Be our Prime Minister and solve all this problems.
Thank you for your valuable time to read this (if you ever read that)

Smit
Book Review: Dork Series
On Twitter, I follow one account of @sidin, His name is Sidin Vadukat and I started following him due to his comments of Cricinfo He always posts funny and insightful tweets. After some months, I realized he is a well known author of Dork Series and I ordered them same day. I read all 3 of them and now like to share my view on those books.
Dork is story written in Diary Format. So It's totally different from story telling where we are having people talking to each other and doing things. Here reader is part of story as a diary. You indulge yourself deeply due to way it's written. Another best thing about this format is it requires you to think about situation and apply your mind to create environment because in this style author can't create a complete scene.
Story of books is based on Robin ‘Einstein' Varghese who completed his MBA from prestigious college and started working in MNC. He is from Kerala. and He think he is smartest person on earth. I will not explain story here as it's situation based comedy. Apart from incidents happen to him, His thinking is very well crafted. Author put his thoughts in such a simple way that we alwyas think "ya I did that thing" or " Ya that fellow was exectly like robin" . This intensity is shown in book.
Book is best seller and there are 3 parts of book and You will thourghly enjoy every part of it.
Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana- master card
Prime minister Narendra modi has today innugrated a Jan dhan yojana to nation. A very simple thing in scheme is that each individual should have an account. Which is zero balance. He have debit card and then insurance. This scheme is very simple but let's see how it works from everyone's perspective.
Government prospective :
Government of India (a.k.a. Narendra Modi) has played this trump card in first 100 days of power. Mission behind this is to reach out to poorest people. They were under pressure to give back something early after that huge victory. But his style is different. He focused on this sector because this touches people life most everybody love money and specially easy money. GoI had created illusion of that. This will be indeed path breaking scheme with simple and crucial element like bank account and insurance. Govt machinery supporting bankers completely to make this mission successful.
Bankers view
At first view banks are having disadvantage as they need to work hard n open many new account. But it will be very fruitful and earning even if 50% of account work regularly. Also need to understand that this account bring money in market. Which boost moral n economy of bank. Banks are updating themselves for this to explore new territory of business in village.
People's view
People are happy first that they got something for free. In village ppl get banks which change their living standards high. They will not take no as answer for opening of account.
On 26th January we review it again

Congrats to Ronak Baxi...
Frankly speaking, I am not writing this blog for his achievement but this is for his attitude. Being very humble and passionate about learning. He is one of guy you always want to be with. There are some moments in your life which can either make you or break you. and although he never shared with me but I know he had faced many moments like that and everytime he become more and more stronger.
A person should have two qualities to be successful 1 is passion about work and 2 is dedication. and Ronak have both of them. When we watch 3 idiots, we all loved rancho as he always says to bunk college and not to read. but at end of exam, he always stood first. Ronak proved something like that.and we all are proud of that.
One more thing, University Topper is not most important thing Ronak achieved but confidence he will get from this will be very helpful in future endeavour. One more thing before signing off. A request to Ronak is "just be who you are... Be Humble.. Be Happy.. and Enjoy...."
Thank you for making me small part of your great Success..

IT people: Scientiest, Entreprenuers, Creative or Juggadu...
Well, My today's topic is not about how we dealt with IT, my topic is how IT World deals with real world. I am talking about all this because of the following statement given by Scientist CNR RAO. (Every sachin fan knows him as he was awarded with BHARAT RATNA alongwith God SRT)
"IT (Information Technology) has nothing to do with science. IT is only to make some money. They (techies) are a whole bunch of unhappy guys working there. I read every day in newspapers, some techie committed suicide, some software engineer killed or divorced,"
I agree with above statement. At first look, being computer engineer it feels bad and bit insulted but when we see this topic in detail, I feel he is right. Let's understand this topic by 2 parts. First, Let's understand Engineering and Science field are different.
In India, if you selected Science field in you high school. It is decided that you are going to be doctor or engineer. But technically and fundamentally science and engineering are two different terminology. Science (or now we say pure science) deals with basic scientific things like chemicals, experiments, results. Where as Engineering deals with applications like mechanical, electrical, computer and others. So IT is just a part of engineering which is part of science.
Now Second Part is, "IT people comes from Science Background only", is a myth. Let's understand this by simple example. Today every person who had done B.E. Computer, B.E. IT, MCA, MBA IT, MSc IT, Courses from RamVihar Computer Classes and guy who runs Cyber Cafe, Think that they belong to IT field. Now Many of this courses, you can get admitted without having any knowledge of maths or science.
There is one more very important thing to discuss. Let's compare IT Field with Automobile Field. If you want to buy a car, you can call company and get one. Same way with software, You want one, Then you call company and you have one. If you want specially design car, you can ask for same. and they will serve you. Same with softwares.
So, Where Softwares differ from Automobile (or in this case any other field)? The answer lies itself only. Softwares are made basically to convert manual application into automatic one. In sophisticated (or tech savvy ) way, you can call it Applications. So We need to build Applications based on user's requirements. Basically what we do is, We ask user for desired output and what input he will give. Then on his input, we do programming or coding or logic or jugaad and give him desired output.
I want to discuss other part of the statement now, "Why IT people are bunch of unhappy people." I think IT people are like Govt. Officers of 70s and 80s. Let's see one example of IT Fellow, We will call him Raj Malhotra (No offense to Shahrukh). Let's say Raj has done engineering from BRTS College with very good marks, He had learned C Programming, Data Structure, Database Management System, JAVA, .NET, System Analysis and Design, Engineering Drawing, Environment Science and 68 other Subjects. After hard work and watching lots of movies, He became Engineer, and after searching job and formatting relatives computers, He gets a job.
What Raj needs to do at job, He has to handle a client, how? Client needs to do data entry, but he can't do. So Raj ask client to do every type of changes, Starting from Computer Restart to Changing BIOS Setting. But after 2 hours, Raj comes to know that internet connection was disconnected, So client can't do data entry. :D You may be smiling but this is correct. It happens with Every Raj Malhotra, Every Computer Engineer and Every IT Person. Same way there are many examples but will not bore you with that.
So, This is very crucial factor why IT People are not happy like other people. Stress kills us man.
Apart from that, Today everyone thinks that he is IT Person. So I openly saying this that if you know how to use what's app or facebook, or how to send an email or format a pc or change in parent directory or hide a folder, I am sorry to say, but you are not IT People. It's like if daily driving car from home to office, doesn't make you professional driver. It's not make you one of us.
We, IT People, are not Scientiest or Enterprenures or Jugaadu. We are the one who tries to make you life easy. We try to make system that works smoothly. We try to make complicated manual things automatic. We make world better place to live. We give you entertainment, knowledge, work whenever and wherever you need.
I am attaching full article about CNR Rao.

Election 2014 - Prime Minister
In all this parameters and many other, We are going to have General Election next year in 2014. As it will be very crucial, It will not only decide India's future for next 5 years. But it also see how india will go through for next 20-25 years.
Now, Here I like to discuss Key Players in this election 2014. Politicians that will be play very very crucial role in this election to rule India or help other parties to rule India.
Dr. Manmohan Singh
Current Indian PM, Leader of Congress Party, Currently member of Rajyasabha from Assam.
Dr. Manmohan Singh is Prime Minister of India since last 9 Years. On very dramatic events in may 2004, after Congress President Sonia Gandhi refuses to be PM of India. He was elected as PM of India by Congress party and set there since that day.
In last 9 years, He has personality of silent working and honest person. His name is involved in CoalGate Scam and 2G Scam, which is one of biggest scam in indian history. He handled few situation very carefully and tactically but He also failed to stop curruption and bring LOKPAL after promising it.
In next Election his part is crucial as UPA is going in election by showing his achievements. As he also announced He want Rahul Gandhi to take post of PM if Congress come in power again. but then also He will be part of Government indirectly if UPA is coming back in power.
Now Numbers game will play very crucial part in next Election. Out of 543 total seats in Loksabha, If congress alone brings around 140-150 Seats and then they require 120-130 seats to rule government. In this type of situation, Dr. Manmohan Singh will come back as PM. As he can handle Government with different parties on name of secularism.
Trivia : Dr. Manmohan Singh fought Loksabha election in 1999 from south delhi and he lost from Vijay Kumar Malhotra of BJP
In next blog, Will bring about one more politician as key player.
Thanks for reading,
Love,
Smit
