You Made Me What I Am!
Tuesday, August 2, 2011
Chronic Depression
I was loafing around the streets,
When I just saw you amidst the trees,
This was when you entered my life,
The next moment I wanted you as my wife,
Out of fear I never approached you,
I followed you all day long,
I could no more bear the tempt,
For it just then overtook me,
Later, I came and approached you,
When you shoed me away after three late days,
Then your brother came and socked my face
I thought of you day and night,
Out of depression I cried with a great pace
All I wanted to do is to reach death,
When I saw you with saw you with another boy,
I decided to stop my breath.
Note:- ‘You’ in the second stanza stands for another girl
I then crept in with my beer,
To soothe the pain I couldn’t bear,
I saw you being splashed by waves,
And followed your way through the spooky caves,
For I knew that you were the cure,
For my broken heart which was pure,
I loved your hair, though it had no curl,
And later gifted you my golden heart of pearl,
You laughed and ran down the lane,
And came back with an handsome guy,
Munch pies both of you walked,
Laughed and talked about the loser,
I knew no solution but to die,
Full of pain and grief here I lie,
With this broken heart of mine,
And with faded hopes that you’ll be mine.

My Role Model-Suhas Gopinath
Gopinath(born November 4, 1986) is the CEO and co-founder of Globals Inc.-an up- coming IT company that produces Web sites and software, employs 400 people around the world and become a national icon. The Limca Book of Records - the Indian version of the Guniess Book of Records - lists him as the world's Youngest CEO.
Suhas Gopinath started a software company at the age 14 and since become one of the most remarkable success stories of the Indian IT boom. Now he's 22 and runs a world-class business with 400 employees.
In 2005, an investing firm from Houston, Texas offered him $100 milliom for majority stake in Globals. He refused,"after several months of discussions, admittedly". The reason for his negative response:"Why should I sell my baby?"
The transformation
During the mid-1990s, the first Internet cafes began opening up in Bangalore, with one going into operation next door to Gopinath's house. My brother Shreyas took me there. I was fascinated. The Internet changed my life, he says. He spent every spare minute online.
He learned himself how to build Web sites. He spent every rupee he had in the internet cafe, says his mother. Gopinath admits, I had been a good student up until then. After I discovered the internet, I was an average student. Before finding cyberspace, he had dreams of becoming a veterinarian.
His first project
In 1998, when he was 13, Gopinath launched his first website: www.coolhindustan.com. I wanted to provide Indians all over the world with a forum to post public events, tips for eating out and every thing else they're interested in, he recalls. The Web site became popular - including with hackers in Pakistan. They attacked cool Hindustan and replaced the Web site's logo with "Cool Pakistan". That was a terrible experience, Suhas says today. He abandoned the project.
By then, talent scouts in Silicon Valley had already heard of Suhas Gopinath and the company "Network Solutions" invited the young Indian to its head quarters in San Jose, California. It was the first time he had ever boarded a plane and the first time he had been
Outside India's borders. They offered me a job. They also would have paid for my education in the United States, he says. His answer, though, was no, why should I do for another company what I could do for my own?
About his company
L to R: -Suhas Gopinath, former president Abdul Kalam.
Gopinath wasn't going to wait four years. He cheated: Along with three friends, he registered his company in San Jose. online, of course, he says. He wanted to name the company "Global Solutions", But that name was already taken. He opted for Globals.
Today, he still regrets that he wasn't able to start his company in Bangalore. India's most important politicians know the young man. He was even granted a private conversation with President Abdul Kalam. I told him that the age limit for starting a company has to be removed, Gopinath says. Kalam promised him support, but so far nothing has changed.
The law wasn't the only obstacle, though. Potential customers cancelled their orders when they learned their business partner was barely 14. Many people didn't take him seriously he remembers. As soon as he began sprouting facial hair, he grew moustache, though he has, on the advice of friends, since shaved it off.
Ultimately, Gopinath managed to overcome every obstacle. World gradually spread about his company's abilities and Gopinath hired more and more people and opened up more offices. He became the boss, employer and chief executive - all in mid puberty.
Most of his employees are just young: The average age is 21 with the oldest being a ripe old 26 and the youngest 12. Gopinath is unable to give the latter a full time job - that would amount to child labor. But we gave him a computer with internet connection, Gopinath says, Now he works for us sometimes on Web design.
200 Customers the World Over
Gopinath's company is into web-based and software solutions, mobile and e-commerce solutions - besides making web sites for corporates, advertisers and educational institutions.
Meanwhile Global has amassed 200 customers across the globe and now has offices in 11 countries with some 65 percentage of company turn over coming from Europe. The young Indians have become particularly good at identifying unfilled market niches. They developed a software product for schools, for example, allowing a teachers to easily enter grades and attendance and enabling parents to check that their childrens are showing up to class - a kind of electronics class register. The Indian government was thrilled with the idea and recently contracted Globals to set up the program in 1,000 schools.
Now That he is 21, Gopinath is thinking of transferring the company headquarters to India - even though some 125 people now work for Globals in San Jose against only 25 in Bangalore. What would be happen to the employees in the United States? We'II see, Gopinath says. "The new developments are coming mainly from Bangalore".
Going to university on the side

Gopinath's father, M.R Gopinath, once a scientist at the Defense Ministry, now acknowledges that his son made the right choices during the last seven years. They are proud parents, but they still haven't let him go. "To us, it's important that he gets a degree, the father says. "Education is the most important thing in India".

Who can be more principled?
Hey guys, I am back with a new topic. This very morning I found some tiny creatures move along my bedroom's widow pane. I kept on observing them. It was a really good scene a group of four to five of them marched in a straight line to a small piece of biscuit which had dropped nearby then they slowly circled around they spent a mere 10 minutes there in lifting it. They carried it back with utmost carefulness,patience,co-ordination... what else no words to describe them they are the most principled I have ever seen!!!

2 Still Lived When 100 Were Killed - Part II- Kidnapped

2 Still Lived When 100 Were Killed - Part I - The Attack
Is it worth being on FB?
There are many advantages to becoming a Facebook member and once you've successfully integrated yourself as a savvy user you'll see just how Facebook is a great tool to use for many purposes.
That being said, you should be aware there are some significant drawbacks to Facebook as well. After you get started, chances are you'll begin to see the disadvantages. The good news is once you recognize the drawbacks, you can avoid these pitfalls and make your experience an advantageous one.
Here are a few of the top disadvantages of Facebook:
*Time Consuming
Most people find after becoming a Facebook member that interaction tends to become time consuming. If you are hard-pressed for time, it's important to set time limits for yourself or you'll likely find it's highly possible to lose valuable time that could have been more productive elsewhere.
The time consuming aspect of Facebook doesn't have to be a problem as long as you don't let it and stay in control.
*Facebook Addiction
Some people find once they've become immersed in the Facebook culture they become addicted. Depending on your perspective, spending too much time on a single website with nothing else to show at the end of the day may be a huge disadvantage.
Many find once they log into Facebook and begin poking around profiles, walls, groups, applications and the plethora of other activities Facebook offers, hours have gone by. This can become a problem in one's personal or professional life if the time spent on Facebook begins to take hold of one's life.
For those who are prone to log-in constantly all day long to check out what's happening in their circle of Facebook friends, this may become problematic, especially if feeds are sent to e-mail and cell phones with new updates that make constant log-ins compulsory.
A Facebook addiction can be construed as a disadvantage because of inordinate amounts of time spent on the website and self-imposed time limits aren't set. It's important to recognize the addiction signs so a Facebook membership doesn't become a problem.
*Privacy Considerations
Any time you open any sort of online account, you give up a degree of privacy. While most sites the private information you enter remains between you and the website, in the case of Facebook.com, there is potential to expose a lot of personal information on the web for all to see.
On the plus side, Facebook does offer tools to help you mitigate this and control your user experience. By using these tools you can customize how much or how little you want the Facebook, or even the Internet, communities to see.
However no matter how rigid you set your privacy settings, it is important to realize that nothing is foolproof and by joining Facebook you will lose a level of privacy. Always keep in mind you cannot control what interaction happens on your Facebook friends' pages and that you may end up in photos or comments you cannot control. Always be careful what you comment on.
*Risk to Professional Life
Another big downside to social networking sites is that they tend to expose sides of people which are very different from professional personas. Be aware that it is not uncommon for potential employers or current bosses routinely surf social networking sites on applicants or employees.
While you may customize your own settings to keep outsiders from seeing your interactions, as indicated with the privacy issues, you cannot control what happens outside the scope of your own profile page. A friend may post last weekend's party photos highlighting your name or other unflattering images or comments which show up in search results. This can wreak havoc in one's professional life.
For the most part, being a Facebook member can be a great experience as the website is a fun and interesting place to interact. The key to having a successful experience is to be aware of the disadvantages and protect yourself by using the tools Facebook provides and combine this with common sense.
The bottom line is Internet is a public forum and any sort of interaction on Facebook has potential to go outside the scope of your control. However as long as you educate yourself on the disadvantages of Facebook, you can better protect yourself from the drawbacks and have a positive experience as a member.
