The "CON"CEPT of PRODUCTIVITY

     My brawl with the whole CON-cept of productivity started after being labelled "unproductive" coz of sticking to my phone after finishing my work.
     I figured out that that productivity in general is directly proportional to the outside perception of one's efforts
mathematically,  productivity α outside perception of efforts
     If you work restless to complete a task in given 12 hrs work period and i complete it in 10 hrs and spend the rest 2 hrs surfing the net, would I become less productive keeping the constraint that both works have the same quality of work.
         So now if you look busy, you are busy and it only directs to slow the pace to "be productive".
     Given this misconception is what everyone wants to believe, look busy and pretend to work and u are considered productive.

Why another Android??

my mom> "Why a new android? when u have an old one that still calls, reads and delivers  sms." 
me> the new one has jelly bean, old one had eclair
mom> wat chocolate eclairs r u talking about, do not change the topic
me> huh? leave it. anyway I still like my "chocolate" eclair

    My mom asks me why do i need to buy new one when my old one works just fine, which according to her should just call, read and sent messages pretty well. Is this just frustration for she sees me like a child wanting to taste different colored candies even though all of them taste the same or has the technological gap has reached another level in my family?

    Alarm->mail check->read news->listen to music->prepare a day's schedule->voice search integrated with google->search anything, everything->charge->recharge->chat-> check status on fb->check tweets->read blogs->download stuff->play scrabble and chess with buddies sitting next or strangers else where->open sources->read ebooks->apps-> work on presentations->race some cars->use GPS to locate restaurants and destinations -> call->message-> fianlly endless personalizing my android. 


    Now my phone has become an inseparable part of me, but still why does my mom want me to use "alarm clock+newspaper+media player+chess and scrabble board+pen, paper+computer with net+a simple phone"

Ban the hate action, not the hate speech

Recent bodo-muslim "wanna be" riot just had me back on my blog
      A country's integrity which cannot be just held ransom by any sort of rumor for is not we want even after the post retirement age of India. When can we finally dream of and see a more mature India. In my opinion this tragic retreat of of the north-eastern minority group raises the questions on the failure of govt & security services in the country. Govt calls it world wild web or a digital pandora's box but it does fail to understand its responsibilities towards these internal security level issues.
    Why is the regular pass-the-blame still being played and tolerated. Home ministry blames the telecom networks and social media and bans 310+ of them. But does it have to be reminded that that riots are not taken place in the social media sites, they are done on roads, and there is no point in banning as many of these if it fails to control the following action.
                                      "Ban the hate action, not the hate speech"
     A source is blocked, more emerge. Is there no other sensible option left with the authorities to stop any wrong doings and block the action. My question is why take action on the net/media/telecom services rather than the criminal individual. Is it difficult to create another source when one gets blocked?
    Why is that media always gets to play the blame-it-on-him member of the society. Riots,terrorist attacks, bandhs, exam paper leaks, vital information leak etc, blame it on media. One or the other communication gets hit badly. The govt goes to the extremes in response to such cases. It either keeps quiet or goes harsh on the media.Limiting download speeds, number of SMSs and restricting data flow did only add inconvenience and complications. Many impersonation, fake and parody accounts are not taken care of till some potentially explosive contented source is detected after the heavy mobility in the nation. Was the antipole not expected in here.
    Coming back to media, the telecom suffers as messaging services get held back. Social media sites suffer as they get banned for a period. Servers go down. Country faces a new lot of problems now.
    This whole sequence has given a message in under current to the whole system that people neither trust the secularism of system nor the police and security services. A failure in system is followed when motion of minority cannot be provided safety where ever they settle in this over sensitive country.
                                  Be there a real riot or an intimidating factor for one
                                           "RIOT is No one's RIGHT"
