Akshaya's Law of Coding

Akshaya's Law of Coding Developers do not work. W = F.S -(1) F = M.a - (2) Now, code is massless, because it is digital & virtual. => M = 0 From (2), F = M.a => 0.a => 0 -(3) No efort is required to code, merge, execute and check code into SVN, create branches, tagging etc. From (1) & (3) W = F.s => 0.S => 0 Thus, work done by developer is zero. IT professionals are useless and are paid big bucks for doing no work.

Animal Farm (George Orwell)

This book serves a reminder to all those who believe that revolutions will lead to be better lives. It highlights the key point again and again..whatever be the reason for revolutions, whoever participates in the revolutions and whichever party wins, ultimately the people will always be ruled by the filthy pigs. One can relate it to any movement in any country..be it the current state of free market movement, rise of Socialist movements...the heart of all these movements was in right places..but ultimately the pigs enjoyed the spoils and other suffered. Its not just a children's book . It has very deep philosophy for anyone who cares to think and question the history.

The Asocial Networking (Must Read)

http://www.flipkart.com/books/9381115879?pid=jt33f9xa7x&_l=CJHVEqJO3veuHytbACc9dw--&_r=YUuTZuFdK3IW0A%202f6w3ag--&ref=93a9b8f5-86fa-43ea-800a-91dc3ff29c5b This most unusual book looks at the newfound obsession driving people of all classes, countries and age groups - 'the asocial networking' - a must-do mode of entry into a new social order. If not adopted and mastered quickly, will it cause us to miss out on one of the greatest forms of modern human experience? It is also interesting and ironical to see ourselves socializing with the help of gadgets when we could actually step forward and socialize with the person standing next to us. For the benefit of those who exhibit their social lives online, this book offers little tricks of the trade to master the art of networking and garner tangible gains in the real world. The author discusses our vulnerabilities and weaknesses, which are often reflected in the way we socialize on the web. Some people have, however, maste...

Has Liberalization & Deregulation been for the Better or Worse?

"Liberalize the Economy" "Free the economy" The above statements have always been the cry of the Market Fundamentalists. Our current puppet PM Dr. Manmohan Singh is credited with freeing the economy from all its conrols and resulted in a better future for us citizens. But has it been or the better?? Its seems the time has come around and there are increasing calls for more and more regulation in many areas. Lets have a look at what has happened since liberalization: a. Insurance Sector: LIC was the sole entity in Life Insurance sector and had an absolute monopoly. Liberalization resulted in emergence of Private Insurance players such as HDFC, KOtak, ICICI, Aegon Religare with the variety of Insurance products particularly ULIPS. The kind of misselling happened in this sector is well known. Almost all the readers reading this article would have been approached by the Misselling Agents of the Insurance companies and many would have also been a victim of them. Aegon R...
