LiFe In TwO WOrLdS

Kumbhal Garh Fort It took me fifteen minutes  to write this very line. Being back to my pet blog is overwhelming but at the same time it seems a bit hard to begin, somewhat like that of static friction before an actual movement or the inertia. I mean so many things have happened since the last time  but they all seems so much fused like the cluttered basement of an old building ( an analogy taken from "The Conjuring" which I watched last night which has nothing to do with this post). Things need to be sorted in this basement and maybe in  life too. I will close this post with some simple yet powerful keynotes which are unfortunately not my originals but a mix of many Quora articles and some random experiences.  Success in anything has a simple blueprint :- The day discipline becomes an instinct to you just like survival is  an instinct to a drowning man you'll succeed. Most underrated ability :- The ability to detach from ones emotion and driven by di...

The Petronus tower Normally the sky scrappers made of steel but Malaysia didnt have steel industry to meet demand, import would have costed very high. It has abundant cement and lime so it was decided to built it of concrete that was never done before. Height of building was supposedly 500 m. Concrete was needed to be M 140 (20 k pound/sq inch). Added silica to reduce air holes and make it strong. base was huge piles and raft as foundation has lime stone. Islamic architecture.  laying raft in 52 hours to prevent uneven drying and cracking. Heavy rained so covered with huge canvas tent  and then poured. Otis elevator manufacturer were literally the discoverer of elevators .

I and Chandan were sitting on the abandoned 4-lane wondering where HPCL will give me posting and how to prepare for I.E.S interview parallel to job.Who would have thought that the small beautiful plant in front of that abandoned 4-lane  will be the place  I will spend my next one year. The best part with a small journey is that I remember everything clearly right from the first day.Be it Rajat sir's (he was our first plant manager)  precise handling,weighting and his  farsightedness for any situation, inborn sarkari babu talent of Madhu Kant (colleague), Anand sir's composure and work distribution and people management,Raju (office Boy), Hulash, Murmu,Tirkey, Before Joining HPCL or NBCC I thought government jobs were best because they provided financial stability and ease of work. But now I realize they are secondary and trivial. Now I can relate to what guddu bhaiya said when i was in 12th, "essence of a psu/government firm is its ground level situation tack...

For getting a job in any company you have to go through interview process which might be once in a lifetime opportunity with that firm. For Gate qualified students interview virtually decides everything. I mean it, if you are a topper i.e <50 rank then you will surely get something out of your rank but above 50, it depends. I have plethora of examples of rank around 100 not converting a single call and around 300 converting Navratnas like HPCL. From what I have observed knowledge plays only a side role ( considering you have cleared GATE with good ranks and can answer basic fundas even sleepwalking) . The major role is your planning, what is the background of company, how are the stocks, new projects,completed projects, its finances. You know company in-out and be  good with words and you can make them ask what you want and bingo you will easily crack it. Why I decided to pen my interview experience ? During my preparation for II...

The time span from may'14 to dec'15 will always be a duration of huge topsy turvy in my life, from finding it hard to look in the mirror to cloud nine . Journey to Delhi was not a planned decision but an escape from  parents and their questions such as "what I will do now, why don't I try for TCS"?. My college, one of the best among NITs had left me "educated unemployed". My only hope was an interview with H.S.C.C, which also shattered on the way to Delhi when I got a call from a friend that only one person was selected. So there I was in Delhi with all my books and some friends from college. With so much self talking when alone I felt uneasy and   company of these known people kept me going.  Delhi was also not easy on me. Guys there ate,slept and shit study, all of this with an aim to hit the bulls eye. But I was tired/demotivated/ashamed and it needed more than a mere motivation to change my fate. You see motivation doesn't give you rank. Somet...

The main planing was chalked out in 2002-2003 under Atal ji in which a plan was passed to interconnect thirty links and built three thousand reservoirs. The idea was given by Arthur cotton in 19 th century and that was basically for navigation. The idea firstly came into India in 1972 when K.L.RAO the then minister of irrigation and power under Prime minister Indira Gandhi presented the idea. In 1982 National Water Development Agency (NWDA) prepared plan for thirty links, three thousand reservoirs and 12500 km of canals. It was a very daunting project. In 2002 NWDA estimated 5,60,000 crore investment need in this but was not implemented. Why interlinking? – to check flood in north east and eastern area. – drought in western and peninsular India – temporal and spatial variation regarding precipitation and availability – depleting ground water resource which is 62.95 percent used for irrigation. Advantages- – tackling drought and flood. – more benefit exam...

I c an not remember when was the last time we concentrated this much on this section. Is it really important to talk about them, who are they? Global citizens can be divided into two parts Indian and non Indian. Indians can be then subdivided in residents and non residential Indian citizens .Non Indian can be dived into two parts they are person of Indian origin and others. So an Indian Diaspora consist of NRI and PIO. They are the one who are in different parts of world representing India at World stage be it Satya Nadela, Kiran Desai or Sundar Pichai etc. They can play a significant role in government decision making process and sometimes even act as the pressure points. It is a good gesture of government as it is making them feel they are a significant part of democracy and they are indeed , not only politically also economically. This will help in getting 70 billion remittance to India and that can be effectively used to lessen the burden of borrowing money.

Before going into the matter directly let what is UNSC and why it is so much important to India. UNSC is one of the six organs of United Nation and its main aim is to maintain peace and security in the word. It has five permanent members and ten temporary members who gets reshuffled time to time. The permanent members were the countries which won the world war II and emerged as the biggest economy in due course of time. The main focus is that they have a special say in any UNSC matter in form of VITO power. Now we all know this is 21 st century, the scenario has changed in a lot of way such as Germany is not in ruins now but one of the largest economy of Europe, India is also the fast growing economy and in some ways competing with the Chinese economy. As Christine lagarde said “India is a bright spot on the dark horizon”. So the main question isn't why India should be a permanent member but is that why a country having 1/6 th of the world population has no s...

The night is cold empty but still busy in the sounds of trucks and buses. It sometimes makes me feel afraid or may be oblivious.And I think it is going to take more than few hours of this cold night to soothe the blisters of sun. Looks pretty same as the night I came here in this strange city with bags of book and bundles of disappointment.You know what's about this night? It always makes me feel I am alone as if I am leaving some part of me behind. I have left friends and I have made new ones many times but there is always this night in between "the leaving night or the soulless night" and no matter how accomplished I am before that night, it doesn't feel the same. Though I agree that this darkness gives me strength to fight alone but it is not asked for.It makes me feel the pace of time as it passes by. I guess It is high time I stopped thinking what's in past or future and enjoyed the present. Because she is beautiful and I have made her such by my own han...

It feels good to be writing after a long break.One complete year ! isn't it ? I am sitting in front of my room in Girnar hostel of IIT D, which looks like what my NIT C's mega_hostel may look like when it is complete. This place is a infrastructural beauty. It is hard to tell, whether it is a collage or a huge garden full of peacocks.Lamps on both side of roads makes the campus magically lit up all night long making it hard to stay in rooms at night. Ironical isn't ?  how hard I resist these changes and even regret them at the beginning but finally all adds up to be a beautiful memory to be cherished.I had no plans of ending up here and though I still don't have but for now I am here and I intend to enjoy this awesome place to its fullest.Oh ! i forgot to mention Anil , he is my classmate here from Alwar Rajasthan and he is fitness freak and is making me run at 5 am in the morning and then gym. And then there are these awesome Profs (Mr Dutta and Mr Ramman...

I am going to give a brief picture of what the matter is all about. People are migrating from West Asia, Africa, Balkan countries even Pakistan and  Bangladesh . The resin behind is very wide and different for different countries but in simple worlds it can be said that it is due to instability political, social and economic in these areas. Like from West Asia mainly due to ISIS, Arab spring or civil war in Africa, Syria crisis, yamen crisis and other fringe elements activities. Then what question arises, why only European countries? Why not Asia. The answer is pretty simple ,the boundaries of Europe are not that restricted as that of Asia's and they have a developed economy. The prospect of better future is more viable there and inter country movement is also not that tough with the sanguine pact between 26 European countries in with no visa or passport is needed for inter country movement. And how did I forgot to mention a better human rights record is als...

It is too hot, uneasy and tones of negative inertia shackled around neck.  But the goal is just one step ahead and I want you to be as ferocious as this heat . Drench  even the last ounce of  sweat as you and me both know what we seek. So I want you smile at every distractions around and say "you are down in my priority list, way down". I thought to jot down what were in wishlist but I guess Somethings need to be kept till the penultimate day. So Fatso ! get your bums up, ek baar aur dikha diya jaaye ...:) :)

Many people in India have the surname Chaturvedi. They are also called Chaubes ( just as Dwivedis are also called Dubes ). Many Chaturvedis are  my friends. There are three interesting things about Chaturvedis : (1) They were originally concentrated in the area comprising of the present districts of Mathura, Agra, Firozabad, etc ( the Brajmandal ) in the state of Uttar Pradesh, though of course they later spread elsewhere, e.g. to Malwa where they are called Malviyas ( e.g. Pt. Madan Mohan Malviya ), and some even went abroad.. However even now there are a lot of Chaubes in the Mathura region and nearabout, and they are bhaktas of Lord Krishna. (2) They call themselves Brahmins, but traditionally a Chaturvedi boy could only marry a Chaturvedi girl, and not other Brahmans like Mishras, Shuklas, Dwivedis, Trivedis, Bajpais, Pandes, etc (3) They are usually fair, handsome and intelligent. What is the historical origin of Chaturvedis ? This could be an interesting subject of research...

So this is me sitting in my room frustrated, angry, depressed and lazy. I mean some times I wonder what a fluctuating personality I have, always either high or low never in between. On the table , steel notes and on the bed is my laptop..facbook..gmail..whatsapp..all the pseudo shit with all the pseudo people showing how fucking their life is in a way better than others and how much they care for you.Even their congratulation seem nothing but hollow.And still I turn up to them always. Certainly I have figured out there are only a few who cares what should  be u doing and how the fuck you feel and still its stupid for you to think that they will be feeling the same as u do for as long as u feel the same. I mean they can see the shoe isn't fitting but they cant feel it. In a way people have let me down, even God has let mein down. And time to time I have realized that in time of need only one Hero has come up for me and that ass is...

A good article on budget analysis by OPINDIA, " summary of Union Budget " (click on the link above)

1) coal block allocation is reverse allocation (for power sector) , that is base price is fixed and lowest bidder gets the block for electricity so they have to distribute electricity at lower prices and other sectors like steel etc will have normal auction that is base price is fixed and highest bidder will get it. But in UPA it was done bay discretionary machinery which allocated it and got zero money from it and UPA said it was zero loss allocation. 2) should OIL price be reduced as it is heavily fluctuating in international market? -there was a historical backlog which oil companies had and by this reduction in oil price in international market the oil companies have lost of about 30k crores.were to account for this and one thing more, the inventory loss itself is about 30k crore, so these companies wont be crushed ? 3) Land Acquisition hype:- When the act was made under UPA gov, this act had a section 105 ( scheduled 4) in which they had put put 13 pieces of sectors i...
