Sometimes, I think why I am doing what I am doing everyday ? Why I end up at a place like this ? I just want to read a book or read about Bruce Lee on internet but not getting time to Google for Bruce Lee.
I think everyone lives the same life, same way and same problems. One day you will get older and you will not be able to walk tall like you do today, you will not be able to move left and right in an active and fresh way
. Then I think What exactly is Life ? Why people die ? If I am going to die at some unknown time why the heck go with doing meaningless jobs ?
I get confused everyday about it. The only one answer I have got is, I must find the meaning of my life and now I can not spend next 20 years in finding the meaning
, then a thought came along that changing the political structure of my country is the meaningful thing to do. It is hard, nearly impossible to do. Everyone learn how to use bribe, the political system and the economic distribution and the educational methods to their own advantage and calls himself “I am Practical” , I have never met any single exception to that rule and I ghave met a lot of people (being in Sales) but what if I go on the other side and change the Fundamental Building Blocks of my country. I don’t know how, I don’t even have any idea about when and what will I do but what If I do it ?
I don’t have any idea on what will be my 1st step, What I will be doing in next 10 years but what if I am the man responsible for changing my country-men’s whole basic idea about running a country. What if I change the mind of the Prime Minister on how an Indian government needs to function, what if I do it to all of the Senate, for the better. What if they agree ? What if they order the police to shoot me for that idea ? What if I give them what they want, exactly what they are striving from a much longer time ?
What if I am not the Prime Minister or the President of India and at the same could be ruling the whole Parliament by the measure of the skill I have on designing the government its subsequent parts. It is not possible, it is hard to obtain skill and what if I gain that skill ?
I can redesign the government, the only thing that is stopping me is the list of problems that Prime Minister or the President needs to speak out to me for what is stopping him to function the government properly. Without a list problems you have nothing to work on, heck, you can’t work without a list of problems. Problems are what scare you, problems are what make you painful and uneasy and the quality of the problems you work on is what that makes you either a brilliant designer or a poor mathematician or businessman. So unless some influential person from the government comes in open and asks specifically to the professionals in the political field for advising on government policies or unless someone with enough experience of political structure analyzes problems and comes forward and tells explicitly to the government about what problems they have and how he will solve the problems, bribe will rule India. Prime Minister of India, till then, will remain the weakest political and a heavily burdened man, same for the central cabinet. The government functions everyday because it is created after every 5 years to function properly with a maintained technical-sanity of the cabinet. That corrupt cabinet also work on the problems and right now as of 2008 and same from last 59 years those problems do not contribute in any way to the improving the functioning of cabinet itself. How poor those ministers are who can not even improve the place where they spend 90% of their lifetime. How fools are those ministers in the cabinet in that they can not even make themselves stable there even when they spent a decade of their lifetime to reach at that place. Funny Indian Cabinet
It is not an exceptional skill to think about, it is quite the fundamental reason and you only need to do a simple but time and resource consuming analysis.
When I talk to intelligent people, the ones who have got more than 80% or 90% of marks in their school/college and other ones who did nto obtain 80% marks but are cutting millions of rupees every year in business, they usually tell me that one day Indian Public will wake-up from its long lasting sleep and there will be revolution, a man will come and he will remove the corruption from this country and Indian will be a better place to. WOW… What a bullshit and what a nonsense, that’s why we have movies like “Chak De India”, “Dil To Pagal Hai”, “Krrish” are super hits because they show the same non-sense, not to mention the TV serials like “Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki”. Most Indians want to see this non-sense and this is exactly the way they think all day, 365 days a year. Unfortunately public is totally uninterested in making this country a better place to live so nothing ever happened and nothing good will ever happen from public side. Everything is decided at the top and the government and the corporate together mold the life of a general Indian man the way they want (most of the time, they get what they don’t want in return). Everything starts from the Central-Cabinet and they also have the work to do. Being an honest man and being a technically excellent Engineer are two very different things. Same way being a minister to handle the Central-Cabinet and being corrupt are two very different things. The Cabinet also has the work to do, they do it everyday. They are not corrupt, 1st they have the skill to handle a big country and then they have the skill to make the government function and then they are corrupt, so corruption is at the 3rd place, totally opposite to when you think its at the very 1st place, OOPS!, you are wrong and I am right
. It was the government who decided to start Metro Rail Project in New Delhi (the capital of my country) and I was ashamed on what public did to the trains on very 1st day. The Government at least did a very good thing for its people on that day but people don’t care. I don’t give a damn about those people who just live life without any meaning at all. I stay away from them, they waste too much time and resources. Asking people to use Linux instead of Windows is like dealing with the effects rather than the cause. A small fraction, the 5% of the people are the ones who will always walk on the path to find meaning of their life. I don’t know if they find the meaning or not but they surely take the journey.
I never ever attack the effect of the problem, I explain the effects and then find the reaction and then cause and then attack the cause itself. I call it “The Law of Cause-&-Effect” , I coined this term based on the experiments I used to do in the Chemistry Lab of my school when I was in 12th class, the year 1998. My Father works in an Industrial Plant which manufactures Urea. He creates Ammonia and send Ammonia to Urea plant where it is used to create that final product. Now lets look at the reaction itself:
3H2 + N2 → 2 NH3
SOURCE: Wikipedia [1]
No matter how much you bang your heads with the Hydrogen (H2), No matter how hard you think about Nitrogen (N2), no matter what you do, if the reactants are same and environment of reaction is similar, the product will be Ammonia (NH3). That’s it, that is the main point. You can’t do anything about it, Hydrogen + Nitrogen in a specific chemical environment produce Ammonia. If you want to change the final product, you have to change the reactants 1st and/or the chemical environment too, without this you are dead, no matter how much intelligent you are, no matter what you are, whether you are President of USA or the Begger from Netherlands or the lower middle class man like my Father, the reaction does not care who you are, it happens by certain rules and laws of nature and when you look into them then the real-learning starts and by the same analogy Central-Cabinet of Indian Government is the place where the solution to the Stable Government is available, waiting for you to see it, it is there but no on sees it or feels it because everyone, including the Government, the Inspector of your Police-Station, the Man who sells fruits in your area, the tailor, the professors of your university where you once studied and then you yourself are looking at the effects, the final products and cry over them and, as I said, the reaction does not care about your cries or even your happiness either. You need to understand the laws of nature and the rules by which it governs and then you find the solution. It takes time, skill ,energy and patience, make sure you have them before you start the journey and if you don’t have them, it is still excellent because you develop them on the way as they are not static but dynamic skills and you can add to and subtract from them at any time. Whatever you will do the journey, of intellectual-life, with the goal of mastering a field of work and finding solutions to long-standing hard to solve problems, is completely unforgettable.
