Investments in AP..far way to go

In recent past we have seen news saying that huge investments are coming to AP..Actually it has long way to go in relative comparirsion with other important states.

State Govt did a publicity that 6.47 lk crores of  investments came from CII partnership summit held recently. To go into details, 2.8lk among them are - 1) From very old and pending for long time projects 2)From new projects of government and 3) Some are just proposals of less probability to materialise...

Excluding all those,investments that we could draw in are nearly 3.5lk crores...which has a long way to go when compared with 20.5 lk crores of Gujarath, 8 lk crores of Karnataka etc.

But we must agree and be happy that unlike last 2 years , atleast investors started coming there by creating some employment oppurtunities.

We can appreciate Govt to an extent for measures taken in assuring investors that all these internal disturbances and agitations will not cause damage to them.

Thanks

Khaleja ,a terrific entertainer brushed aside

Khaleja is a wonderful entertainer..where Trivikram was able to draw out superb comedy timing in Mahesh. Mahesh after Sainikudu and Athidi found that he is following same style and expressions leading to monotony..hence they wanted to change that and were successful

Trivikram who was able to extract same comedy timing from Venky and Pawan earlier was better successful with Khaleja..Infact Mahesh in Dookudu used only 20-30% of what he learned and used in Khaleja..but because of more masala and rather because of other comedians like Brahmi and MS ,Dookudu became a hit and Khaleja which is also a terrific entertainer with all ingredients failed...enduko emo:) !

Small dialogues like " ayidondala muppai nagulu mandhini kapadataniki vatchaana...ayidondala muppai ayidaithe emaina problemaa" are examples of  fabulous execution..

Watch Khaleja and have fun when ever you find time..

Pilla Jamindar .. a good movie

Watched Pilla Zamindar movie today..just sharing my feel about it.

After a longtime , watched a good movie ..values mixed with enough entertainment....dailogues are really good..I liked it technically also in various aspects....I liked the cinematography in parts( though its not great..his passion can be seen in some parts..we should also keep scope in mind)..After a longtime I saw a movie with complete native village backdrop..(before this, the last one I could recall is ownanna kadanna of Teja)..bits of movie songs coming in background according to mood of scene are very funny and make us laugh . Screenplay is normal and locks in it are easily guessable.

Overall its a good native treat..film with values..enough entertainment..no vulagrity..no violence..

Hope more such movies come! All the best to the team of Pilla Jamindar.

Thanks

Widening the scope of sports in India..

Read an article in internet...Sharing it as I felt happy that scope of sports in India is being broadened...

Former Indian cricket skipper Sourav Ganguly who brought revolutionary changes in Indian cricket and laid the foundation for all the reforms being followed now is gung-ho about the inaugural Formula One Indian Grand Prix and feels it will be a big leap in broadening the sports environ in the cricket-crazy nation.

“The cricket crazy nation will get to taste something new and extremely exciting. It has the potential to find its audience in the country, Ganguly said at the Sahara Force India Formula One Team flag raising event. An excited Ganguly said he would be a spectator at the event and was looking forward to watching the likes of "Schumacher (Michael Schumacher), Hamilton (Lewis Hamilton).”

"I have been to a Grand Prix before when I was in Northampton playing for Northamptonshire in 2006. I will be present there on the 30th to witness the epoch-making event. I wish I could sit inside this car (pointing to the Force India car model)," he said.

JA's lecture on Skill development..ways and challenges.

Recently attended a conference on the topic Skills needed in this current competetive world , ways and challenges. It was awesome. Happy to share that I had a privilege of meeting and talking to JA Chowdary ( You might have heard and seen him in news many times..(Co-chairman FICCI ,CEO Tallent spirit, President TiE, President HYSEA,Ex-chairman IEEE, Ex-chairman AMCHAM and trustee of NANDI).I saw in news a long back , a minister saying that with out him Hyderabad would not have had 17 lakh IT jobs..he is such a great tycoon in the industry.

He shared with us many inspisring incidents and his learnings from them ..starting from he going to interviews to ..he getting shocked after he went to do campus interviews... Most inspiring one was his meeting with Steve jobs ..he narrated how Steve jobs thinks , judges and takes decisions etc.

It was attended by many managers, PMPs, business school heads, many renowned corporate trainers who also had their queries on the topic. It was really inspiring and thought provoking.

Thanks

StrengthsFinder 2.0..a good book

Finally finished reading one of the best sellers StrengthsFinder 2.0 :-)....

It's a good book where Tom rath (about whom we all heard as one of best selling authors of last decade and also as a good business consultant) took foward his mentor Clifton's StrengthsFinder book...

It helps us in understanding various personality&attitude related skills by clearly defining and explaining them with examples..there by in avoiding misunderstanding people of such skills..

It helps us in realising our inner strengths there by in realising where we are lacking.

Thanks to servers which were down and less load of work on days which facilitated in completing this :-)

Thanks

Infosys Narayana murthy's comments on IITs

Recently Narayana murthy made some comments about the decreasing quality in IITs..It arose some critisism from people who feel defended by those comments..

Below is the link for reference about his comments..



what's wrong in them..I am in complete support of his comments ..In recent past Kapil Sibal also commented in an interview that 85% of technical students are garbage and 15% are taking country forward.

Recently list of top 200 universties of world is released ..it is unfortunate that not even 1 Indian institute/university is listed in it.

Some people may say that these ratings are biased/partial towards west or fake ratings etc..I agree to little extent..but let me clarify that  these will be calculated considering manythings like..

1. Qualification of Faculty 2. Patents they hold 3. New Technology discovered/invented/transferred
4. Nobel Laureates 5. Publications of the faculty and the impact of the publication whether it was a normal research or a ground breaking research 6. Endowment received 7. Infrastructure of the University
8. Student/Faculty ratio 9. What the students did after graduation.

So its just not about qualitative engineering course..or packages students get..there are lot more..These rankings authenticate Narayana murthy's comments..

Majority of above factors can be improved if Govt allocates good money..I wish Govt takes some constructive measures with proper vision.

Thanks.

Ram Charan's polo team..best example for how sports can be promoted in India

Just after Charan bought polo team in Hyderabad..polo starting getting good publicity..his presence there for encouraging team..created lot of hype and publicity for polo. Though polo clubs and competetions were existing in hyderabad from long time..it happened only this time.

As of now it may not be commercial or money making sport like cricket ( many say that most of the polo team owner's in India lose money but they do it just for their passion..I dont know how far it's true), if such promotion happens in future it can attract good tallent in to this game as well.

As an ardent believer that ..apart from cricket other sports should also be encouraged and India should stand proud in all international sports events..I see this as a good thing...Congrats to Cherry's team ( RC HPRC) which won Chief Minister's cup..who ever is the winner..polo's viewership in Hyderabad increased..and hence finally polo won.

As already stars like Aamir Khan , Pawan Kalyan and Ranbir kapoor told many times that they are ready to give their time to promote and encourage foot ball in India if concerned authorities come with plans to them, Govt should make such plans and encourage sports.

Thanks.

Steve jobs,Best among innovative CEOs

You all might have read or heard in recent past that Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple resigned...I would like to share about the learning he gave all of us.

Like Warren Buffet is a school, Bill Gates is a school , Narayana Murthy is a school...Steve is also a school...School which taught the world how to achieve great success and reach hieghts in business through Innovativeness..by making things which were just extra time activities before apple as necessity after apple arrived..By innovating the world arround us, apple became a huge market and that is only possible because of vision Steve Jobs had. He was personally involved and was supervising the teams that introduced all revolutionary products starting from Mac to iphone...and through this he was able to create a biggest competetor for microsoft which was believed to be next to impossible once .

Hats off to his contribution.

Thanks.

lokpal bill is not enough..Anna Hazare's movement is with a noble cause but not a mere solution

I know this may be disliked by many and may hurt some body...but my responsibility is to write as I feel that these logics are needed for country...I guess this is going to be lenghty :-).

Anna Hazare's janlokpal..cant eradicate or prevent corruption in India. Because I dont believe that another layer of bureaucracy can reduce corruption...to defend this I would like to given you an example of  "lokayuktha"..It started with almost same thinking as lokpall but how much is it effecting now ? If lokayukhtha is strong and independent body..where is corruption in India grown this much even after establishing lokayukhtha. Even NTR started some body like this ( dont remember the exact name ..it starts with 'Dharma'..ofcourse NTR is also as equalent as any other chief minister but a little benevolent/liberal corrupted CM :-)..for that matter if a similar movement rised in AP..YSR also would have established one such body as another layer of bureaucracy.

                      So,  Just another layer will not be able to do it..I am sure that in a course of time it will also be like another lokayuktha..

Coming to the powers being demanded for Lokpal..sorry Janlokpal :-)..This is completely against our parliamentary system and against the constitution which created 3 parallel systems..

These days it became a fashion to light candles and shout..walk on roads..boycott something( I feel most of the people do it so that they can avoid work or college :-) )...but how many of these so called supporters or protesters or followers know what is lokpal..what is there in janlokpal and how it functions? Believe me 3/4th of people who participated in agitations either supporting or opposing does not know what exactly is zonal system, what is 14F and how will it effect? same is the case with lokpal.

Coming to the previous point ..why I am not in favour of lokpal is..
  • Judiciary system ..including supreme courts and chief justices coming under lokpal
  • Lokpal people will have special police powers
  • Lokapl can give own judgements and sentences
  • PM is also under lokpal..which indirectly means that it can dictate anything to both the houses.
What if all or few of 7 poeple who got elected for lokpal are not having visionary thinking....partial..becomes corrupted? Because they are also people like other IAS officers, social activists and politicians..but the only difference is these are "believed to be" good...here comes the discrepency according to me..

Hence I feel that lot of changes are needed in lokpal bill..it shoud empower local bodies and should have wings to roots of the country like villages.

What do you think..7 people deciding fate of country( directly or indrectly)..controlling heads of executive bodies..houses..judiciary etc ...I feel that it would lead to autocracy from democracy.

Anna Hazare's intention is good..no doubt that Hazare and his team are doing it for a noble cause ..but this bill is not enough to achieve it.

Bulletins in Media for their TRPs...hypocratic and fake discussion lead to temporary elevations in agitations.

But one thing is true ...this would contribute in creating some awareness about need of fight against the corruption in India and in arising some repulsive thinking against corruption atleast in few( I hope :-) )..

The change is needed in the attitude of people and system..If one is serious about fighting against the corruption...they should vote to the right person basing on track record and commitment to serve the country..irrespective of caste creed religion..place..party..how many among the poeple who came on to roads now, will do so?

This is the time that all the intellectuals of India should come forward and educate the people bravely with their analysis instead of getting carried away "Jan " and "Media".

Sirivennela's words .." Niggadeesi adugu ee sigguleni jananni ...aggithoti kadugu ee samaja jeevaschavanni
maaradu lokam ..maaradu kaalam" ..are true till today.

But the biggest question is whether we can prove Sirivennela wrong on any day .. Hope that day comes.

Thanks
