Reboot the Universe - Part 1

Let me warn you first. This is going to be a damn serious reading.

I have access to a certain secret button. The button that reboots the Universe!

At this point, if you are my wife or anyone else that doesn’t take me seriously, you better quit reading. If you are chatty Praful, naughty Babul, genius-explored Thakkali, genius-unexplored Hendry I, genius-recently-explored Henry A, Hilarious K, Cy - a big Welcome! If you are a stranger here, you have beaten an odd of 2,317,563,890,001 : 1 in hitting an intelligent blog. Congrats! If you are me, you are really sexy, sensational, cool, etc etc and btw finish writing this fast.

It all started when she settled in the Starbucks at 11AM, Latitude14° 35’ N and Longitude 120° 57E. It was a working day. Hush, don’t ask. She is random. Dazzlingly random. And she needs to be in random places to get into her genius moments. But that crumby place was so noisy that she had to plead God’s help. Then she suddenly realized (or over heard from the noises across?) that everyone in the universe has the same set of problems! And she whined, “Whats wrong with the Universe”. I was washing the dishes on that same working day at 11.10AM, Latitude 1°, 14E and Longitude 103°, 55E. Hush, I am random too. And I do things too to get into my genius moments.

I heard her. First of all everybody is facing problems. Thats bad enough. And its the same set of problems? Thats boring enough. So I offered to help – "Do you want me to reboot the universe"? Who can resist that?

Wait, I feel like a nap. Too much oily food over lunch. Yaaawwwwwww……

Back again. Yes, about rebooting the universe! Here is the truth in some details. My access to the button is not direct. But my earlier statement is still technically correct. I know the Master of the universe. ( No, S. Its not you! ) She knows where the button is. And she is not in Vogsphere or some unknown planet on the edge of the universe. She lives on this very earth. Are you surprised? Well, I guess she is random too. Do I have to cross 7 dark matter mountains, 7 seas, kick the prime-minister's cat and pee on president’s cactus to get to her? Nope. This is the age of communications! She is just a telepathy call away...

Will continue in the next post. It will get even more serious.

    I am not the Master of the Universe? Dang! how random is that?! :)

    But wait, what guarantee do you have that rebooting the universe will present us with a different set of problems? Or, better still, no problems? If the universe runs on Windows, God help us all!

    the reason i commented on facebook that there is no compelling reason to reboot the universe is this: if you are going to liken the universe to a server, there is no error with the server actually. but if the user is dumb then the server will not function well for reasons such as 1. did not maintain well, 2. do not know how to use and 3. does not acknowledge his lack of knowhow ;p so the universe in itself is actually working in a rhythm, its us humans thats causing all these problems

    @Queen : I like that thinking. Nothing ever is wrong with the mainframes :))

A Date - Part 1

“Good Morning. How is everything? Did you manage to have an early breakfast date with yourself?” I was on the bed in a hotel room in Jakarta when that SMS woke me up. I only managed to get a very few hours of sleep that night. Even in that, my mind went churning non-stop on some meaningless, unconnected things. I was literally aware of all that turmoil in the half sleep, twisting and tossing through it. Back to the SMS. All the SMS I get usually are with a single consistent purpose - my colleagues trying to find my whereabouts. Note - none of them is a hot babe. (This is altogether a different topic - how come no hot chick in this whole damn world manages to become an IT architect!!) Oh, for a change, I do occasionally get some irritating marketing campaigns. So, it is not a wonder that this message sprang me awake like a Maasai Warrior. (Maasai are an African tribe famous for their ability to rise from the deepest sleep to a state of total combat readiness in a matter of seconds)...

The Great Indian Divide - Part 1

Have you combed an Indian metro recently? What struck you as the blinding flash of the obvious? The shining India? AND also in a few meters, a POOR nation caught in the slip stream of capitalism? An economic divide ? AND hence a cultural divide ? In short, did you notice the Class Conflict ? It’s the same class conflict or “alienation” that Karl Marx saw in the late 1800s. This has been a cause of my reluctance to move back to India. Because common sense and history tells that such class conflicts will result in social unrest and ugly revolutions as small as “mangalore bar attacks” (google it) to something as catastrophic as the French Revolution. What is the cause for this great Indian divide? The answer is “Knowledge Economy” and the “Knowledge Workers”. Let me dummify these terms first. Think of a line (like the poverty line) called the machine line . You are above the machine line if machines are your slaves. For example, a biotechnologist or a banker who uses a computer to get hi...
