Life Decisions

This post is my ideology on “Suicide” , a grave issue in colleges these days , and people who are sensitive to the issue ….. its not for you,
  • Rat-Race :
    In this capitalist world, we believe anyone can achieve success in life by sheer will and labor, most of us dream to attain big. And work day in day out to achieve it .
    In the long run, wear ourselves out, set emotions to less priority and then become quite insensitive to our environments. We risk relationships, family for career. Is the outcome as rosy as we dream ?? ………….Not always
    But when even after all this we fail to achieve our goal, we decide to end all this.
  • Atheism :
    When somebody rejects the existence of God, he sees himself as the sole creator and destroyer of his fortune. It does give us some control over us, but when something terrible happens or calamity strikes, we just give up …believing its beyond our means as humans to endure such pain.When we are connected to God, we see him as savior in dark days, We complain to him for our misfortunes and expect change to come sooner or later… Thus I feel religion has soothed many, who had no one to support them when they were helpless.
  • ConsciousnessWhy do people celebrate martyrs, the brave who die during wars? Do animals do so ?? most of us would love dying as a hero than live a meaningless life.We as humans have conditioned ourselves to celebrate death, an outcome that less intelligent animals could not find yet. Something very unlikely indeed, even animals too have terrible conditions, all they do is cry out .
    So, I see suicide as a outcome of deep fear of the society we live in, a battle where our conscience wins over our evolution ….
Whenever we see something happening as rational beings we contemplate and seek an explanation for it. However hard I try I can never reason out one thing that leads to suicides .....

Election afterthoughts

The unfolding of the Indian election might have come as a surprise to many, for one is the BJP who steamrolled the campaign seasons with slogans of "400 par". While it remains 240 seats popular in a house of 520 members, a few stories should not go unnoticed. First, the BJP's popularity and the win for a third term is no ordinary feat. Only a few leaders of the past have managed such an elusive feat. This, indeed, is the trust that the brand Modi has built over the years. In politics, we often get acclimatized to the situations, in certain aspects too critical of it. When the young generation looked at Indira Gandhi's cabinet, they vowed never to again let such a solid mandate to a single party that its chief could declare an emergency, and no structures would be able to prevent that. This, however, ended up in fragmented colours in the Lok Sabha, the era of coalitions and surprise prime ministers. Needless to say, the horse-trading of MPs and the mindless corruption ...

The Gems on Coursera

I found myself in a rare situation this April. Had things stuck to their schedule, I would have completed my graduation curriculum and would have been ticking off any college goer's dream check-list, which did include a few travel and adventure. But, the situation as of 2020 has a different story to tell. With no end to this quarantine insight, the check-list became an impossibility.  So I took the Coursera COVID offer for colleges and started my odyssey to various areas of studies, my mechanical engineering syllabi had prevented me from. So without much ado, here are the "Gems" on the courses platform, each one must give a shot at.  Model Thinking This course gives an unusual approach to what we have accepted as complex socio-political phenomena. With simple logical and mathematical principle, Prof. Scott E. Page recreates results which have puzzled global leaders. He argues that this approach to reality is a must for all in this 21st century, and I could not agree mo...

Consulting Constulting

Consultants are the most rampant, yet the most sushed topic in corporate. There are enough consulting firms today, to make one wonder if we need so many of them. And if the conundrum of needing to hire consultants was not big enough, here comes the issue of what they actually do. Over the last few years, many in the media have reported consulting firms to have held too much power for far too long to have become corrupted. Firms have relied on shady practices to keep their business afloat and, on many occasions, have walked out without much consequences. However, I find the above conclusion misrepresenting, if not incorrect.  The need for consultants doesn't arise from corporate's need to implement change or resolve issues. Corporations today are locked in an environment of constant change, be it in business models, products or even markets. The law forbids two companies from coming together and promising on a "happy ever-after". The consequence of this is action and r...
