November 17 National Security Threat by mediaLast night I was watching the NDTV News @ 9 and I was shocked to see that NDTV is uncovering the plot of the Intelligence agencies like FBI and CIA to the public in David C Headley case.
NDTV has very clearly explained the capture of David Headley and Rana through through the internet by FBI and i was shocked to see the security breach triggered from NDTV news now, like; 1. Why a commoner should need to know the strategic plots of the Intelligence agencies, which risks the security of the nation? 2. By giving this level of details NDTV is actually alerting the terrorists those who are watching your programs to go for another level of advanced attacks on us in a so called intellectual manner. We don’t want another scenario where the terrorist where easily able to see the happenings through media during 26/11 attacks and be more strategic on their next step of attacks. I also wonder whether the news editors have watched the movies like "Wednesday" and "Unnai Pol Oruvan"? The news channels must have an extra level of editorial screening before broadcasting the news, which deals with nation’s security. November 13 Where are the whiz kids?"Recession", "Lay-offs", "No Sal Increments", "Cost Cutting"... ... These are few terms which we are bored of tuning our ears for the past couple of years, the corporate world is exploring all feasibilities of reducing the cost at nook and corners, well does this mean that the grand-children of Aryabhatta & niece/nephews of Vinod Khosla should either hit the bed or be satisfied with fullfilling every day Idlis and Chappathis? A recent summit by NASSCOM says the 75% of our Engineering and 90% of Non-Engg graduates are useless when it comes to Industry requirement. Why is it? Come one folks, it high time we gotta review ourselves and just play a devil's advocate here...
Somewhere at the corner of my RAM, i could flash the data of my past; those are the years of late 90s to early 2000s, every day a whiz kid is exposed, the candidates hired in the corporate sector knows what they are expected in, most of the graduates came out with excellent projects even in their Visual Basic and MS-Access, they burned their mid-nite oils in developing new codes and packages, though it was not taught at their schools, the computers are the wand and the software is their magic, above all -- they chose the right attitude which are broad and open to feedbacks. The reward was certain in terms of hefty packages for all their hard work and smart efforts.
My dear friends...!!
Choose the right attitude of learning the subject outside the books from u'r schools and lean u'rself to the computers to learn the new technologies. Though u think this recession is a set back to the industry, i would say this the best time to learn new tech and to keep pilotting those. In reality we haven't faced any recession it's only a slow down which in turn made us to streamline the structure every where even in terms of pay checks and it does provides u good amount thatz required a lot more to u'r survival.
Don't u just keep boasting with u'r high scores in B.E or MBA grads in papers, coz those are nuthin when comes to industry. I agree the basic academics has to be changed, but those are not in the immediate reach. Hence instead blaming the system let's get on to the track and prepare ourselves to the industry and prove the world again, that we will be sustaining on to our growth with pride...
It's high time for us to act and we still can't keep ourselves bounded only to support and testing projects in the industry, coz we are more capable on designing and developing new and changing business needs of the world. Remember... Production Support can never be a bread and butter for a matured organization, it's a part of our daily activities similar to your every morning activities to keep u'r system up in running... we gotta move on to strategic projects which could make our live easier... and we will... and Come on young India... Shangai is steering, Buffalo is gearing... are we still gonna be the hare at the race..? |
