Recent thoughts

Had been off blogging for a while. Now, these activities / events made me write.

The Indian budget for the current fiscal year is a classic Congress method for the past 60 years! A nice squandering of 60,000 crores that is not going to solve the real problem. The intention is not to solve the problem but to create a spell as if the problem is solved. This is the same congress that stopped Rajiv from implementing the "Liberalization" during his first term. This again convinces me that Congress cannot restore India's Greatness. They lack the will-power that BJP showed (from Pokhran to POTA to saying "no" to Karunanidhi for Dayanidhi maran). BJP puts National interest first to petty politics. Thats why India got its groove back during BJP's regim for five years that Congress couldn't do in 50 years.

On my trip from US to India, I watched the movie "Gandhi My Father" - a nice portrayal of father / son relationship between The Mahatma and his eldest son Hari lal. Even though my son is just a year old, of late I could see the world from a fathers' perspective of the things that play out. Its really painful to feel how Mahatma felt about his inability to convince his own son. A sense of failure - a tough one for any dad.

Since my Undergraduate days, I had been dreaming about providing everything that a company needs as a service . That thought has evolved in to a niche "services for SMBs". A recent press release from TCS confirms that this is a market that they have started concentrating.

Any interested parties can talk to me on this.
