Happy Engineer's Day to All

I take the vision which comes from dreams
and apply the magic of science and mathematics,
adding the heritage of my profession
and my knowledge of nature's materials
to create a design.

I organize the efforts and skills of my fellow workers
employing the capital of the thrifty
and the products of many industries,
and together we work toward our goal
undaunted by hazards and obstacles.

And when we have completed our task
all can see
that the dreams and plans have materialized
for the comfort and welfare of all.

I am an Engineer
I serve mankind
by making dreams come true.

Sri Krishna Janmastami

Krishna, revered as a full and complete incarnation is regarded as the epitome of transcendental qualities.

Playing pranks, performing miraculous deeds and charming gopis (and all!) with his flute, he is loved by one and all.

And he gave the world Bhagavad-Gita, universally renowned as the jewel of India's spiritual wisdom.

Lemme quote my fav line...

"You have a right to perform your prescribed action, but you are not entitled to the fruits of your action.
Never consider yourself the cause of the results your activities, and never be associated to not doing your duty."

(Translated from Sanskrit: -"Karmanye Vadhikaraste Ma Phaleshu Kadachana,Ma Karma Phala Hetur Bhurmatey Sangostva Akarmani")

Has anything better been ever heard/read?

Happy Janmashtami

Independence Day

On behalf of our Independence Day, lemme paste this beautiful piece (one of my favs) again.

India is an experience that none should miss. It is a unique blend of the old and new, of tradition and modernity, of a reassuring continuity with exciting change. It is a place, where centuries still exist side by side. Its culture and history...perhaps tempt you to explore…

Yeah our culture (based on the idea of tolerance and universal acceptance) has held us together amidst the testing times.

But the contradictions, yet hold!

The nuclear, IT giant, emerging super power, still can't feed some of its children.

While the "Indian analytical mind' is our biggest strength, corruption/government (lack of a visionary leader) hold us back from fast lane.

You don't have to look beyond the traffic signals, for contradiction, where u c beggars around swanky cars.

Blessed with a beautiful landscape but our lack of cleanliness leaves much to be desired.

While the Indian hospitality is appreciated, better not to comment about time sense.

While we are, no more, third world/land of snake charmers, we still are 'emerging' super power. If we haven't yet arrived on world stage, though having potential, blame it on our own complacency/procrastination, 'chalta hai' attitude.

As we salute our heroes of Independence and march ahead with new vigor to our rightful place under Sun, how about making a resolution to overcome the 'chalta hai' attitude, now?

Wishing you a Happy n Happening New Year

One more year ends...and another one begins...time to look bak n ahead?!
