Knoweldge is Money Power



I am back from a workshop conducted at Infosys, Pune Development Centre (DC).


Many a times I have visited Infosys campuses at Bengalooru and Mysooru.


The buildings, ambience in total the infrastructure is word class. Pune DC is also on par with the other two.


Other than the Infy campus, I had an opportunity to visit few more IT, ITeS and Non- IT firms in the last decade on various occasions. you will find almost alll the organisations today in the same fashion.
After talking to people at various hierarchies in those organizations and my friends at such organisations, I felt that the orientation of all these organizations is more or less on the applied science only from the perspective of earning, earning and earning and earning. Yes, they are meant to mint money. That’s the basic business rule. We all know it.


Even though all these sectors talk about learning, unlearning, relearning …, everything boils down to earning! They highlight the knowledge requirement but still it revolves around the term Earning!


Our teachers emphasized on the learning skills and inventory from the point of view to earn knowledge. After the globalization started at 90s, the emphasis has been on learning IT, BT, Commerce, Management, and Medical sciences. Pure science and Arts has gone to rocks! No one prefers to get into these departments.


Being in teaching from fag end of 1999, I have observed the following mentality among the students.


Speaking in the local language /mother tongue is treated as a crime!


Working offshore is very very essential and then only our life is full circled!


If you are not westernized not fit to be on earth!


Not going to private tuitions will not fetch more marks


Even majority of parents/guardians do think on similar lines. All these have led to want of money and ignorance on learning the real knowledge.

"ಮಹಾ - ನಾಟಕ"


ಇತ್ತ ಮಹಾರಾಷ್ಟ್ರ - ಅತ್ತ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ
ಅಕ್ಕ-ಪಕ್ಕ ರಾಜ್ಯಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಕುರ್ಚಿಗಾಗಿ ಕಾದಾಟ
ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಹತ್ತಾರು ಸಮಸ್ಯೆಗಳು ಅಲ್ಲಿ ನೂರಾರು
ವಿಶೇಷವಾಗಿ ನೆರೆಯ ಪರಿಹಾರದ ಬರ ಅಲ್ಲಿ
ಬರದ ಪರಿಹಾರದ ಬರವೇ ಇಲ್ಲಿ
ರೆಡ್ಡಿ-ಯಡ್ಡಿಗಳ ನಡುವೆ ಬಂದರು ಶೆಟ್ಟರ್
ಚವ್ಹಾನ್-ಭುಜಬಲಗಳ ನಡುವೆ ಬಂದರು ಪವಾರ್
ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಗಣಿ ಧಣಿ ಹಿಡಿದ್ದಿದ್ದಾರೆ ಹಠ
ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಕುರ್ಚಿ ಧಣಿ ಹಿಡಿದ್ದಿದ್ದಾರೆ ಸತ್ಯಸಾಯಿ ಮಠ
ಅದೋ southern discomfort
ಇದೋ maha deadlock
ಅತ್ತ ನೆರೆ ಪರಿಹಾರದ ಕೆಲಸ ಸಾಗುತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ
ಇತ್ತ ಸರ್ಕಾರಿ ಖರ್ಚಿನಲ್ಲಿದ್ದಾರೆ ಬಾಬಾ ಪದತಲದಲ್ಲಿ
"ವರ್ಷ"ಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಇಲ್ಲಿಲ್ಲ ಹರ್ಷ
"ಕೃಷ್ಣ"ಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಅಲ್ಲೆಲ್ಲ ತೃಷ್ಣ
ಎರಡೂ ಕಡೆ ರಾಜಕೀಯ ದೊಂಬರಾಟ
ಶ್ರೀಸಾಮಾನ್ಯನಿಗೆ ಬೇಕಿಲ್ಲ ಈ ಮಹಾ ನಾಟಕ

Andre - I Am angry


I have been an ardent fan of Andre Agassi rather had been.The stylish sportsman; everyday, reveals another revelation.
Crystal meth
Lion - mane hair
and now his dad asked him to take drug!

Down the lane, he may reveal who took off the wig and shave his head!
Idiot, you could have put these across earlier if you are/were CLEAN.
whats in store to reveal tomorrow?!!

I am taking my first step to Blog.
I have been follwoing couple of blogs and reading other couple of them.
