Business: Wireless

If you have spent time with me, you must have heard me talk about wireless. How it signifies freedom to me and how we are only at the beginning of a big evolution. By 2025+/-5 years there will not be any stand alone devices. All electronic devices will be connected to each other and maybe to us. Well, I have been saying this since 1997 when I joined the wireless industry and now the Economist is said the same thing this week. If you live in this society, you should get a copy of the magazine. Wireless will change the society in the coming years. However, it will be a gradual evolution and not a revolution as predicted by the Economist.

Life: Downfall of a man

I recently learned that in Indian mythology it is believed that there are three reasons for a man's downfall:

1. Anger
2. Fear
3. Laziness

Don't fall!

Life: Universe

I tell everyone to think about the Universe and their place in it whenever they are stressed about their problems. Sometimes, I forget the lesson myself. Friends, always keep in mind what is most important to you in life and how insignificant your problems are compared to the Universe.

Somehow, I still have not developed tolerance for people with no integrity and no backbone. Gandhi said something very profound-To forgive and accept injustice is cowardice.

Life: Commitments

Why do I have the tendency to meet all my commitments even if I have to suffer to meet them?

Life: Knowledge

The more I learn, the more I realize how much i don't know.

Why do we grow hair and nails and no other body part after becoming adults?

How do we decide what is our favorite color?

Why do we love?

Why is emotion more powerful than reason?

Why does religion still exist?

If take away the human desire to be in power, will the countries still exist?

A bird had no idea of what a country/boundary is. Why do we fight in the name of freedom?

Why is food part of all cultures?

Why do we like some people and dislike some without knowing much about them?

Why is heart associated with love in all cultures?

Human Behavior: Ballet

Why is ballet not a popular art form? Every time I go to one, I sit in awe for two hours. There is melodic music, beautiful setting, very attractive women (and men) in perfect shape who can move their bodies in perfect harmony like they are made out of rubber. So, why is it not popular?

I think the career of a ballerina is of a great sacrifice. It takes years of practice and discipline starting at an early age. What motivates someone to give up simple joys of life and become a ballerina? I have great admiration for the artists.

I went to see Carmina yesterday. It was brilliant! That is what prompted me to think about the art form.
