My Life in Korea - A Preview

Hi everyone. Drafted this Blog Account for Storing & showing my Kind of stuff, this I wanted to do for a long time now. I am here in Korea.South Working as a R&D Engineer looking after the aspects of Hardware Integration & Software Development for an LCD TV in LG Electronics. Life in here is good, awesome, We here (8 Guys) have a ball every weekend having all the masti, all the fun, doing loads of shopping (Even though it is very Expensive here), Working it out on the Chicks. Sure every guy here has some Chick reserved for himself "Yeh Meri waali hai, Yeh teri waali hain" As if "Ghar ki Kheti hain". The gals here are very Fair Skinned & totally Chikni Bole to Baap. Parr "Santaap" (Lochha/Problem) Yeh hai ki unko English bahut Kamm aati hain. Not to conceal, a gal Propsed me, But I don't want to fall in any Commited relationship here, "Wham Bham Good Bye Maam" so for now I haven't commited anything to her. She is quite innocent, not one like those "Chaalu" Girls, Good Natured & Warm Hearted. So I have to give it a good Brain Churning Thought, before I go on further, with anything. We chaps often go to the Pubs on weekends or some other Breakaway Place to have usual masti, One guy Puneet after getting drunk approaches the Girls in the Pub & he is Fultoo Mast like a Mast Haathi(Elephant), the Girls Behave nicely so does he, but if he asks the girl out on a Date & the Girl refuses all he thunders is: 'Fuck You'... But he says so with a Smiling Face, & with no Gumption, so the Girl also Laughs it away.

Ram Setu – Faith, Trust & Belief

I sometimes am forced to believe that I am living in a nation where being majority is a crime, & more than that being a Hindu is a crime. Does the government dare to raze a mosque or some ancient Moslem monument to ground. NO they can't do that, as that will give rise to a hue & cry by the minority Moslems. Why is that, the Hindus are made the Scapegoats all the time, so as to be butchered? Its because the Hindu Vote Bank does not count for the government, just because the Hindus are not unified. But does it give the government any liberty to play with the sentiments of all Hindus?

It is ironical that a government which changes the metro rail route to protect the Qutub Minar, built with the construction material of destroyed temples, is destroying a unique symbol of national identity that has been there for the past 17,25,000 years, and an icon well preserved in our minds. Even a child knows that a bridge was built by the Lord Rama & his army to march into Lanka to rescue Sita and destroy the evil regime of Ravana. Ram Setu is a symbol of faith for the Hindus & holds both religious & mythological importance for Hindus. It is the path of virtuousness, & truth that God tread to win over the evil. How can anyone let the monument of such stature be damaged. The description of the bridge between India & Ceylon can be found in a lot of ancient Texts like Ramayna by Kalidasa, which puts it forth the same way as is shown by the NASA Satellites. Also its presence is reminiscent in one of the World's greatest epic Mahabharta. Apart from this it has mentions in numerous other religious & historical texts.

Strategic Importance of the bridge (Setu in Hindi) is that the US wanted the Indian Government to declare the Historical Sea Waters around the Setu as the International Sea Waters, so that commercial liners can traverse through this International Seawater. The Setu is like a divide that, that separates the sea into two parts hence, it decelerates the wrath & the force of the Tsunamis that arise in the Indian Ocean. Any alterations to the Setu, will not only disturb the ecological imbalance in the region but will also affect the fish catch of the Coastal fishermen. Also the Coral Reefs in the area will be disturbed, hence leading to their gradual extinction from the region.

The idea behind the Setu Samudram Project (The Bridge of the Sea) is to link Palk Gulf and Gulf of Mennar by making a shipping canal through Rameshwaram Island. But the Government could have averted the damage to the Bridge by taking an alternate route without damaging the Ram Setu. The route is between Mandapam and Dhanushkoti. This will not only give a shorter route for navigation but also protect the oldest heritage. The cost of fuel that will be saved in one year by making a gap in the Setu will be 21 crores per annum. But the cost of the project is a whopping 2400 crores. As per the calculation the project isn't feasible cost wise, as it will take 115 years to reap the benefits of making the cut in the bridge. 21 crores x 115 years = 240 Crores, the actual price of damaging the 17,25,000 years old man made structure. Being destroyed just for the sake of some coins.

The Solution to the problem clearly lies in the alternate route between Mandapam and Dhanushkoti, for the navy & commercial ships to commute through the channel, without any alteration of any kind to the Setu. There has been no transparency on the way the Indian Government has dealt with the Project till now, keeping everything under wraps, & when the lid was blown off, all of a sudden, it was supposed to create a hue & cry, just the way it has. Now to keep the Good will live amongst the people of India, the Government of India, should ensure that no damage is caused to the faith & religious sentiments of its people by taking the alternate route. The Current expenses to the tune of 2400 crores, can be bought down considerably by assigning alternate path, & can be used for other important issues that are haunting India as of now, poverty, hunger, illiteracy, epidemics, & many other such daunting issues. The Drilling on the project started 28.July, & till date 11.Sept, 25% of damage has been done to the current pass route. The Drill machine that is being used in the project is named as "Jai Hanuman", a Machine named after the biggest follower & devotee of Lord Rama. How ironical!! This again is a gimmick to ridicule the Hindus.
Two such drills have broken down while doing the drilling operation, & that is a sure sign from God, to stop this frenzy & madness.

Ram Setu is a monument of faith, trust & belief. Shaking or breaking the monument will be like shattering the faith of the Hindus, & faith once shattered or battered cannot be bought back.

Work Satisfaction

The major motive for completing education is to be self dependent, & sufficient in atleast the basic necessities of life. If you are amongst the lucky ones you tend to get these amenities of life, & get to enjoy the life to the fullest, that others less priveledged are deprived of. The aim eventually is to work, that will not only fetch you respect but also lots of booty. It is this urge & the necessity that makes us slog our lives, while in school, university & at the job. So that we can face the bleeding competition, that by all means is healthy, & ensures that the best get the best. But does that necessarily mean that life gives us back what we expect out of it. In most of the cases there will be a point blank "NO", as life with its atrocities does not give us what all we want, it takes us for a ride a number of times.We don't get what we deserve or desire most of the times, that is a fact. We are helpless too, all we can do is work towards our goals, & then it depends on the destiny & the so called luck whether we get there or not. This fire of achieving materialism or some other goals drives us towards the cutting limits of physical & mental endurance. This materialsim may not lead us anywhere, but then we can spend our lives with a lifestyle, that only most people can dream of. Only the lucky ones get to blabber about their lifestyle & materialism.But where is the so called work satisfaction, that one gets by doing, what one wants to do, or the way one wants to do something. India being a developing country has fewer chances of people working in the arena that they really wanted to work in. These people create more meaning out of their work, than the ones who unfortunately couldn't even get hands on the thing that they would have liked to be a source of their bread, butter, booze & cheese. These people come from one domain to work in another cross functional domain. A classical example of this is the people from Mechanical Engineering background joining Software Companies. The point here is that the person with a Bachelor's in Software Engineering is bound to be more successful than the one with a Mechanical Engineering Degree.The question now arises is, will the Mechanical guy working in a Cross functional software domain find peace, solace & satisfaction in what he is doing as a software engineer. He always wanted to be a part of the Mechanical world, where he could work on an engine to increase its fuel efficiency from 40% to 80%, or reduce the fiction in its mechanical parts. But here he is sitting back in his chair, & resolving the bugs in the software. He may have a thick pay packet in the software industry, that may sometime's require a truck to carry it home, but then does he have that thick sense of pride & honor in what he is doing. He always wanted to soil & toil it hard, have his hands smeared with grease & oil, oil blots on his shirt. But there he is, sitting quitely in the corner of his aircondiotioned, noise proof cabin, wearing a white shirt, & his hands on the keyboard typing the code, @ 1000 lines per day. His life has lost its meaning, its direction just for some bucks. He has made ultimate sacrifice of his solace, peace & tranquility that he woud have found in doing what he was destined to do. Sacrificing the so called work satisfaction may make some sense, when the buck is concerned. But this buck comes at a price. Price is sacrificing the work satisfaction & the internal contenment. But in the long run of this rat race for money, you may turn out to be a winner, but a loser in majority of the cases.

Armageddon / DoomsDay

Armageddon / DoomsDay

It is the year 2198...and for a while, the world was at peace. The Things are going on smoothly except for the thing that the now developed Countries (Contributing to 200 out of 210) are eyeing each other, undercover. There is a State of Cold war, wherein every country for the time being is tight Lipped, and not adding Oil to the Fire. The natural Resources are driven towards extinction, The Land is scarce to grow anything cause the Population has almost Quadrupled in the last 200 Years, the Islands have been washed out cause of the raising of the Sea Level due to the Green House Effect. The Inflation has reached a record high. Every country has a stockpile of Deadly Arms, some of which are more than enough to wipe off all Life from the Earth in a Fraction of Seconds. All nations have joined hands to one of the Three Different Group of Countries, called as the First World Countries, Second World Countries & Third World Countries. These Group of Countries have shook hands as per their Interests & unison in their ideologies. This has divided One World into three spheres. The problems at hand are driving the countries to anguish & frustration, each country wants to control & exploit the resources of its neighboring Country or some other Country. The earth is like a huge stack of dry Straw & grass that is waiting for a spark to ignite it & engulf whole of this earth like a unimaginable, unforeseen Forest Fire, that will spare none, leaving behind only Death & Smoke. Rumors are abuzz that the so & so Country is planning a serious deadly offensive, & this is on the front page of every paper, on everyone’s mind, & on everyone’s Tongue. Each Country Fears that any Country may launch the Offensive against it any time for any reason. Everyone is living in fear, & this sheer fear is driving everyone crazy. The countries are not ready to talk, cause there is nothing to talk over, only war & then winning is being seen as a solution to all the Problems haunting that nation for a long time now. Its like a dam that has been filled with so much of water that will eventually break loose & wreak havoc & destroy everything.

In the morning of 5th.Oct.2198, came the D day when it is discovered that the First World Countries are planning a massive offensive against the Third World Countries as a Result of the Assassination of President of 2 First World Countries in the past, along with the Rocket Attack on some Cities killing thousands in the Third World Countries. Missile attacked being launched by the Second World Countries. These Attacks & killing were in reprisal of the mismatched ideologies of the countries over common Issues. The Countries had prepared for the wrath & the Countries that weren’t prepared for this Armageddon were preparing fast for the catastrophic developments or else would have to perish & be removed from the face of the Earth in a flash of Light. This was a war that would incorporate Accuracy, Speed, Deception, Tactics & above all Power (the Power to bless even the immortal with Death). Soon the Skies were filled with the Fighter Planes, that made no noise at all, there were armed Robots on the Streets, the Humans were equipped with suits that would warn them & protect them from any possible dangers or any threat of attacks. The Army was positioned everywhere & the Weaponry was being airlifted into the Space, so that the Missiles could be launched from Space (Star Wars II). This War was not only to be fought on face of the earth, but also in the Extra Terrestrial Space, wherein Man had Built Artificial Colonies, wherein people would go for Holidays & experiencing the unknown phenomenon of the Space. The war toll after 15 Days : 1.5 Billion Dead, Losses worth Trillion Zillion Rupees, 8 Countries wiped off completely, Poisonous Gases & Biological Chemicals in the Air causing Deaths @ 1800 deaths per Minute, Nuclear Radiations causing Cancer Developments Fast. There are no Doctors or Hospitals available, everyone is on his own. But the war still wages on for 30 Days with the Second World Countries finally Winning over with the launch of their final resort, H Bomb, that left it with a population of 2200 men standing tall on the corpses, to rule the World that had nothing but Death, & no leftover Resources, Everything was destroyed. There was smoke everywhere, no vegetation, nothing, deep craters were left in the earth’s surface. The Oceans had started to heat to the extend that they made steam. Those who were left, also vanished within the next 6 months. Perhaps that was the end of the Days, or was it a new beginning. The Armageddon.

Life in Bangalore, Do's & Dont's

Its been a month for me here in Bangalore. The information that I provide here may be of some use to those of you who want to shift to Bangalore.

1. Different Restros are here, offering variety of food, at cheap rates too, it is hygienic, never had a problem with that.
2. Fav places to hangout are MG Road, Lal Baug, Mysore (40 Kms away), Koorg, & other picnic spots within 200kms radius.
3. Rooms are pretty expensive & landlords demand 10 times the Rent as refundable deposit. PG Accomodation is readily available for somwhere between 1500-3500Rs.
4. The Buses cover almost whole of the city. Roads are bad & so is the traffic, so start off from your destination 30 mins in advance.
5. Every Street has a marvellous building, unknowingly if u ask someone, u will get just one reply, "its a software company".
6. Software rookies & Young crowd can be seen all over Bangalore, with their respected & respective access cards hung around their necks like, the Dog's Chain (More appropriately I term it as the Kutte Ka Patta).
7. Most of people can speak Hindi, & the educated clan can speak English as well, so don't hesitate to ask for any help, if the need be.
8. Tap water is not consumable, esp for those of you, who come new to the city.
9. The climate is moderate, but the temperature here has been soaring since the past 3-4 years, credit goes to the high levels of vehicular pollution. Bangalore is 1000mts above sea level, so the climate is really enjoyable.
10. Autorikshaws may be expensive depending on the distance you travel, however insist on going only by meter, many of the meters are rigged.
U can get in touch with me at amit_shali@yahoo.com if the need be.
