The time is ticking in the direction, it started long ago. India got its independence long ago, about 60 years ago, in 1947. Ever since then lots of things have changed in our country. Only thing that has not changed is the status of the country - It is still 'developing'. My father got his one mark and I got mine for answering this fill in the blank - "India is _______ Country". I just hope when my son/daughter writes - "developing", they lose their one mark. A father wanting his kids to lose marks? I wish this came true. Would be the wish of all of us reading this article right now :-)
Internet started about 20 years ago, it celebrated its 20th birthday on 13th Of March 2009. Computers came into existence about a few decades ago. America/Japan or other developed countries are at peaks in using computers and technology for their progress. India truly lacks that.
My dear friends, Just try picturing this on your mind, When one fellow indian 'A' of our country is talking about tweeting/blogging/cloud computing etc. The other fellow indian 'B' does not even know what a computer is. The irony of the situation is 'B' form about 93.88% of our country's population. If you visit any developed country - they talk about more than 60-70% computer literacy in their countries.
In India, technology has grown very rapidly after the computer and mobile technology came mainly in the last 5 years. Before that mobile and computers were deemed as luxurious items and people who used to afford are considered as rich persons. But today these two luxurious items have become a necessity in the daily life of the common man also. People who are below the poverty line are also using it directly or indirectly.
It is true that people is using technology, but only 10% using it to their maximum. The technology is growing at a pace, that in few years from now, it would be difficult for the computer aware (who are not greatly aware) people itself to catch up with the progress. Imagine our fellow indian, then, just getting to know about computers. Millions of Fashions would have come and gone on the internet, and exactly when our fellow indian would be feeling like an alien and out of place with all these things.
Today, using the mobiles we not only get in touch with our friends and relatives but also can do a lot of things including chat, photography, entertainment, using our mobiles as palmtops, etc. Similar is the case with the computers, which has also come a great distance to help the people and made them save time by the use of internet and online services. But more us yet to come, and if we look around, how many of them are using all these features?
If the gap between A & B, is not bridged up in the next five years, It will be a near to impossible task to push the country to greater heights, for advancement of technology and progress of internet are faster than speed of light right now. It already requires drastic steps to push the computer literacy higher.
Because if it not happen then, it is not far enough when everything and anything we will use would be running on technology. In school notebooks will be replaced by pc notebooks and blackboard will be replaced by 3D boards (used in educomp). Then what will the parents do, if they are not computer aware?
Even today most forms are available and filled online. And important exams like CAT & CBSE are trying to start online examinations also. Not very far when all the exams will be conducted online.
A big point to think if the technology continues to grow at the same pace then what will happen after 10 years. How will the people, mainly Common Man who are not computer aware interact with it?
What will happen to them who thinks and says that computer is a nuisence and not for them and they can live without it?
Will the Darwin's law of 'survival of the fittest' will come into force?

Ideology of a man.
Ideology of a man is the mirror of his mind and his life. An ideology is a set of aims and ideas that directs one's goals, expectations, and actions.
I have seen many people, mainly in India, whose ideology in life is very difficult to understand. Some of them are as under.
I am talking specially about the parents, who pressures their child to become they want him/her to be in their life. This is an ideology I simply can't understand still today. If you notice these days, many headlines of newspaples and television news flashing of school children committing suicide. It is clearly seen that the graph of children committing suicide has increasingly gone up. Has there any other ideas to make these parents understand ?
Another ideology of the parents is about the marriage of their children, specially of the son. I've witnessed many people, including some of my friends also, whose parents give their marriage before their silver jublee in life, even if they are not earning. This ideology is also not understandable to me.
Another thing which many of my friends will agree with me that most people in India fears to do some new thing in life. Very clearly they don't want to take risk in their life, and want to play for their life on backfoot. They mainly want some another person to do that work first and if he/she comes out safe then they will try to do the work. Why people not daring to take some risk (in positive move) in their life, which could makeit better? In other words why they don't test/challenge their luck ?

Embrace Mistakes and never repeat them.
Every people in his life,sometimes or the another have done some mistakes. "Making mistakes is not a crime." Many people project making mistakes as a crime. There is difference between crime and mistake. An unintentional doing which yields wrong results than expected is called a Mistake. While people confuse it for a intentional doing and build guilt over it. Crime is against laws & in most cases an intended action. An unintended crime is still a crime, but out of a mistake.
Life does not gives us a eraser, if it would have given one then we would have erased our mistakes done.
"Do not build guilt from your mistakes, build your foundations". Every mistake has a lesson to learn, of how not to do something. It is feedback system of the universe to teach us lessons, make an error correction inside us, and get us closer and closer to the unattainable perfection.
Most of us either ignore/deny the mistake or blame the mistake on somebody/something else. This is the mistake we do with the mistake. The roots of this action of ours are in our childhood. When being right always was what we learnt. This lesson of being right always is totally against real life, and can lead to the three mistakes we do with the mistake. We are always told to answer the questions rightly, do the right things and least allowed to experiment. Hence the efforts to be right always and hence the fear of trying new things and the result is few entrepreneurs in the world.
"A successful entrepreneur is nothing but a cluster of mistakes connected one after the other from the point of start to point of success, with lessons at every node of mistake."
So my dear readers ensure that next time you make a mistake, immediately accept it and grab the lesson it has to teach, and resolute never to repeat it again. Your journey of success will get shortened by thousands of miles with this one attitude.
Never say - "oops! I wish i would not have done that mistake."
Instead Say - "thank god this happened, it taught me the most important lesson. I shall never repeat this again, and shall help all my subordinates anticipate this."
Accept mistakes, learn from them, build great foundations and hence great structures of success above them. I hope this was helpful to all you readers.

Proud to be a Bengali
I think, in India inspite of there are many cultures, the Bengalis are the most sweetest, coolest and the most traditionalists of them all. Since time memorial, the culmination of the varied cultures along with Bengalis and Bengal's very own evergrowing richness has given birth to a unique Bengali culture which can be identified by its colourful & significant contribution to all epochs of all traditional & modern society. Bengal has always held an attraction for the outsiders since the historic times. The land of the fertile soil steeped in culture and tradition drew most of them to Bengal's heart. Bengal's mysticism coupled with its intoxicating charm; Bengal's throbbing heart and its pulsating life has a unique flavour.
"Our pride, our hope, O our language Bengali." The true Bengalis all over the world are very much proud of their language. Culture to the Bengali community is as valuable as air & water to human beings. It is said that, "What Bengalis and Bengal thinks today, the rest of the India thinks tomorrow."
The Bengali people are perhaps the greatest food lovers in the Indian subcontinent. A leisurely meal of many items which requires long hours of labour and ingenuity in the kitchen has long been a major part of Bengali culture. Bengali crusine takes in the five basic tastes of astringent, bitter, salt, sour and above all sweet. Bengalis are infectiously passionate about many things - especially for Fish, Mishti Doi and Rossogolla. It is also said that nothing goes waste in a Bengali kitchen.
Another thing that is recognised with the Bengalis is the greatest social and & religious event of the Bengalis -Durga Puja. It is extimated that nerly half of the clothings of the Bengalis are during these few days. In these few days Bengalis forgot everything about the rest of the world and filled with ceaseless activity - social, cultural and religious. The beating of the Dhaaki and the Kanshor Ghonta, meeting with the old friends gives a immense pleasure to the minds and hearts of the Bengalis.
Bangali means................Kolkata.
Bangali means................Football.
Bangali means................Howrah Bridge
Bangali means................Rabindro Sangeet.
Bangali means....today..... also..........our own Dada, Sourav Ganguly, which makes a Bengali proud.
There are many more things to write and mention about the Bengalis, that makes me proud to be a Bengali.
Can you give any 2 reasons that makes a Bengali so special and so unique .............. Give your comments.
