When I know truth is final it was too late
I couldn’t believe Satyam story. I along with my friends looked at Satyam admirably.
Raju was a hero in our business school days. We looked up to this guy as a role model. We dreamed to follow his path. We analyzed how he built a giant called Satyam. In our presentations we were very eager to put the strategy Raju followed to put Satyam among the 4 IT majors in India
We managers must clearly look into what really happened to Satyam and learn some lessons from it. I think Maytas story paved the way for the giant’s fall. What I seriously think is that if you are an IT giant when looking for a merger you must look for companies working in the similar line. The people who invested in Styam doubted the motive behind this merger. This actually led to its downfall.
Also we must take Moorthy’s words very seriously. This is a very good lesson to other corporates.

Deeply painful
That morning in 1946 was not usual. There were tensions existing in the villages scattered near Alleppy. The dogs were still barking. Even the dogs know the something real going to happen there.
The hate and fear about the Diwan is very strong. There was a man who were sphere heading a section of peasants in a small village. His name is Achuthanadan.
In 2008
The man who came through hardship and agony is the chief minister. But the irony is that this man elevated into the same ‘Diwan” by his remarks attributed to Sandeep who died in encounter with terrorist in Mumbai.
Mr Chief Minister, I know that the situation at Sandeep’s house is not a welcome sign for you. But you must understand the pain his family is going through. As a chief minister you must have called immediately when the news broke out . You can have any excuses in this age of mobile and net enabled phone.
When you and your comrades came to know the seriousness of the issues it was too late. You and your leaders were attending polit beauro. What polit beauro hai?
Each and every Indian citizen is praying for India and its marityors.You were in Polit beuro? No wonder you and your party supported Chinese aggression.
After that the drama and insult you created is so painful. You must know the people in Kerala see all these dramas. They are not fools.

A man and his mission
Barak Omaba connects himself into this world that is quite unusual to any other leader who ruled the United States.He proclaimed to US that the change has come into America. A dream cherished by Martin Luther King. But I would like to link Obama more to Lincon than to King. Many white Americans it’s a golden moment that their democracy is giving something in return to them . For black its something the democracy is in store for them
The change he promises does not limit to US . It clearly relates to the world at large.
Look at his victory words “watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of our world - our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared”.
Instead Bush cried loudly after the twin towers got attacked “every nation in every region now has a decisions to make” - either you are with us or against us.
Obama knows the world is clearly connected . He seek support and understands clearly that its world which is very well inter connected like never before.
Bush after his 4 years in white house clearly failed to understand the people and how to persuade them in the next term he got
Obama’s childhood in a Muslim majority and Asian country like Indonesia makes him something strange powers that is quite unusual to anybody who have been destined to sit at Oval Office

Meeting a poet in ujjain
Let me take myself to Vikramditya’s court. I am entering into a huge palace. I feel that it’s the golden era happened in India. People are happy. No poverty. Everybody is rich and happy. There I was standing.
I heard one man coming and telling me that I will show you a genius. A poet! Wow. Well OK. There he is. He is physically well built and handsome too.
Is this the man who received praise from Goethe? Is this a man who created Sakauntala. Is this a man who came after Ashvaghoshha to take Sanskrit literature into much higher level.
I can’t believe that he is uneducated in the beginning. He was ditched by his fiancée who were so disappointed by knowing that he doesn’t know anything. But Kali saved him.
I thought about my childhood and my Grany’s answers about my stupid questions.
Why Kali gone out Ammuma?
Ammuma: Kali wanted to go out of the srikovil because she had some unfinished work.
Me: Well Ok. So the sree kovil is empty?
Ammuma: Hmm. So the idiot prince went into that and locked.
Me: Ayyooo? Then how Kali will get into it. If people come in the morning to see her. What will happen Daivame?
Ammuma: Kali came back and saw the Srikovil is locked inside. Who is inside? No Ans. Kali repeated who is that and who is locked .
After that one voice came from inside “Who is outside?”
Kali got very angry. Are you questioning me?
Me: My God. He asked the Goddess. Mone gaya
Ammuma: Kali frustrated after asking the same questions again and again and finally replied. I am Kali standing outside and tell me who is inside?
I am Dasan inside and he came out. Kali given him the name and wrote “ Hari Sree Ganapathaye namah” on his tougue with her weapon.
The main poetic centre at Ujjain. People are gathered. Kalidasa is standing there and reciting his poem.
King Dushhyanta is hunting in the forest and he meets the hermit-girl Shakuntalaa, whom he marries by a ceremony of mutual consent. He made everybody stading there romantic literally including me.
Maharajan, you have to return back to the Kingdom.
Ohhhh all are disappointed including me
He presnts Shakuntalaa his signet ring and promise her that she will be taken into palace.
But curse is curse. When pregnant Shakuntalaa comes to the court, Dushhyanta fails to acknowledge her as his wife because of a curse.
All the temple bells ring all over Ujjain. Kalidasa stood and started moving towards Kali temple nearby by leaving his fans on the edge. He said to the anxious crowd!
Next part is tomorrow
Ujjain is red by sunset. The maha yogi is going for pooja at the kali temple. He passed me. I am near to him and looked at him admirably. The man who created Meghadūta, Abhijñānashākuntala and Kumārasambhava .
I called him “Deva”. He stopped and looked at me. Really
Make me your "YakSa" please. I will give your message to your beautiful wife and I will describe the beautiful course of my journey. I will paint the city of Alaka as it is.

Apple bites Orange
Apple bites Orange
Usability and design are two brothers that quarrel with each other always. I screw my mind to see why that is happening? Can we both sit together and deliver better products, a great website or a user happily surfing interface. An open minded understand will do good to all. Isn’t it?
Usability engineering is not design.
Usability engineering always marks problems but not suggest solutions. They never report facts when user researchers put forward solutions. But when they collide with each other both are wrong.
Designers always disrespect usability reporting. UI engineers underestimate the importance of design. Bark always at each other. Its not a case of effective communications. Designers have to face constrains what the technology will give them on plate and the most cut throat dead lines. The UI guys never understand this limitation and avoid normally the role of design. So the problem is structural in nature.
If UI people need to understand the designers, dude must understand the design. It in cludes it’s importance and it’s constraints too. The UI lad must actually become a designer. They must apply interactive method by fully understanding the design concepts. Then the problem solved forever.
Usability is always based on data and it can be analyzed thoroughly and very methodological in nature. But design on the other hand is pure and art and talent. It always needs respect and understanding
UI address concerns but design is solving problems by giving adequate solutions.
But if you design is bad then you screwed yourself and even someone spend considerable amount of UL engineering time will not solve your problems.
Design is much more than colorizing picture for kids. ARTSYFARTSY websites do exist. For God sake web sites and web applications must stand alone and do not misunderstand each other. Most importantly do not reduce design. Each project have it’s own constraints and requirements.
At the starting point of product development very limited attentions has been given to product on the part of design. Sorry guys design is not something we can terms as optional. Properly not acknowledging design is nothing but not taking your customers and products seriously.
But did we given the adequate importance to design yet? I would say no.
UI testing is very important and never put behind. How important. Well that is a question. A well calculated question. But always stand up for only what the user wants, you are doing nothing more than expecting trouble. Concentrating on user needs I refer that not But wants?
I pointed out effective communication at somewhere before. I am taking back attention to that word to put in a way that is more perceptive. Researchers must understand the core design tools like composition, layout, and color. They must stay and at the same time due respect to them while they give lecture .I think they must understand users constrains with regard to technology, business and integrity. Designers must be ready to sit down with them.
Designers must come down and ready to apologize to things they need to. They must look respectively to technology that will improve the design. They must bring their standard of quality to a much higher level. Design will ultimately lead to innovation. With respect and understanding we must bring UI into our products with mutual respect .

Good topic while I chit chat with colleagues. That too while sipping a glass of strong coffee @ Barista in Brigade road or Richmond road. Not with soul mate @ office

The kis factor -1
When I term this word kis here don’t confuse it with “actual one Kiss”. I refer the word here as “Keep It Simple and deliberately removing “extra s”
It is really happy to see that the old and rather complex way of web development is out there in the corner but not like before. But surely not prominently like before. Developers are always keen on simple way of making web sites and of course they imagine always!
But the ghost, I rather say Ravan is there in the present day of web development. Not in the form very complicated nested tables but in the form of complex CSS hack.
They catch you before you look into!
All including me spend lot of time surfing what exactly is CSS hack in the end of 1999s. But let me tell you these creeps are a threat to both developments.
I am not in the masses saying that with hack we replaced frames and nested tables there were on the main menu of web developers. But rather with the use of these web developers always felt a feeling of mastery in the event of uncertain web content display
One thing is where CSS hack will do wonders is in the mailing list Mails using “Funny Fred’s Hilarious replaced Right-Bracket hack” will definitely amaze the newbie. Taken into consideration that the CSS Hacks always seek complex solutions is also matters. Its like I will never let you go away from me and at the same time I will help you also.
The point is clear web is still an uncertain place where even if you use all the CSS techniques available you can’t be make sure that you will get the desired result on the browers. By using hacks if you will get the desired effect you are inviting more uncertainty.
For a new guy who are just into the world of CSS its more practical that to follow the way the website is going on and make it simple. No browsers will ever support CSS 100% correctly.
Where the threat is actually?
Now the problem is that the finest CSS hack will not have the clear idea of the final outcome of what he is doing. In the case of Bug fixing imagine the Hack found a bug fair enough! But there is a second BUG related to CSS selectors. The Hack will take the second bug to solve the first bug. Crazy Isn’t?
So what you prefer solving a bug with another bug. Well that will definitely go beyond the web standard!
In any case you can’t trust the browser to be released soon. It might solve your problem or it might solve one bug and will not touch another or in this uncertain world the browser won’t touch either. Gosh!
So you expect extra rule for you unnecessary while you apply a hack
The smart hackers will get a pair of complicated bugs and will convince you that the browser will make the bug never solved and will seduce the newbie to follow them to master the craft.
Do you think it’s professional? Not at all!
A sense of responsibly matters!
Let me tell you one thing finally do not go for it! It screws you royally! After all a 10px doesn’t matters a lot guys
If a glaring bug happens I suggest you guys go for a real solution in CSS itself. If you try almost all the CSS technique then go for a HACK. But not recommended personally!
@import hacks for Netscape. But use it for dead browsers not for living browsers.

I am sorry Bangalore.
When Dinesh told me Hay Manoj did you see anything different? I got wondered what happened to my house. It’s more visible now. Something is terribly missing. Oh My God the black berry in front of my house has been mercilessly slaughtered. My Blackberry I screamed. Who did this?
The neighbors. Dinesh Replied.
Oh Man So cruel so cruel. I told him
I felt something terribly missed on that day. I felt somebody died. I asked him why they did that.
Dinesh told me the neighbor was saying we need to cut the tree as it is the source of all our miseries.
I didn’t hear the birds singing next morning and I felt the sun rays on my face that morning through the windows.
I am sorry Bangalore. I am really sorry. How can I do we are slaughtering you in the name of blind beliefs. I am sorry dear.
