Tons of Fish or Few Liberals



Finding commonalities among two different groups/country/state people is an interesting theory forming. For example, I try to find commonalities for some Indians (mainly from Mumbai) with Americans (mainly from New York). Here are my reasoning’s to relate,
  1. Both them are financial capital of respective countries. So Mumbaikars and New Yorkers has some pride about themselves.
  2. Highly populated with brilliant metro systems. So both of them are organized.
  3. Geographically both of the cities built on bay. So both of them are beach lovers.
All those reasoning become invalid after i visited San Francisco or Boston. Because those are common stereotypes of metro cities, there is nothing special relation between Mumbai and New York.But 10 years ago I only knew about Mumbai and New York’s lifestyle since i formed the wrong perception.I had a thought of relate people of Kerala and West Bengal, two different states in India, different culture, different language and both of them are thousand miles apart but visible relations are,
  1. Obsession with communists, discussing about Marxist and other variance of communists  are common which is very uncommon in other parts of India. 
  2. Love soccer (Indians normally thinks Cricket is only sports in this planet) and excellent team players.
  3. More fascinating relation is, both of them produced more number of poets, intellects, artists, painters, movie directors, musicians, philosophers than any other state in India. I know it is just a sweeping generalizing statement but as per “comparable theory” it is valid. 
As usual i formed a theory that they love fish and fish is good food for brain since they are good literature etc.But I’m wrong again, because Kerala Brahmins won’t eat fish. Actually it is not fish or any food habits, it is the liberals who influenced Kerala and West Bengal are the reason for some relation.

In Indian context of liberals are “who fight against rigid religious practices, promote education and work towards better social economic conditions”. 

Raja Ram Mohan Roy (Bengal) :
Born on 1774 and he was one of trailblazer liberal of Indian history, he started a movement called Bramo Shaba and he influenced thoughts and minds of Bengal people. He founded a solid platform for free thinking, education and many reforms in religious front. More info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raja_Ram_Mohan_Roy

Travancore Kings (Kerala) :
One of highly liberal kings are the Travancore(which was part of majority Kerala now). More info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travancore

Conclusion:
We can reasonably conclude that chain of liberal thinkers from Bengal and Kerala are the reason for some commonalities between this culturally distinct peoples. There are many of them were in other states but they didn't influenced that much as compare with Raja Ram Mohan Roy and his followers and Travancore Kings.

Coupon Crazy

Coupon, Is it good remedy for current inflation fight? I think it is not and coupons are highly addictive. Yesterday when i was in train on the way back home, one lady sitting next to me, cut and cut coupons from newspaper. I was watching it all, to make things worse, she put all waste into me. She carried a separate bag for coupons, the bag was filled of coupons. Okay, that was fine, she is just trying to save some 1 or 2 dollars. After finishing all coupon cutting, she opened other bag and took 3-4 lottery, the one that we have to scratch.So now she started now scratching lotteries, again all wastes into me. I just realized that what ever she saved now from coupon were gone. One day I was standing in queue at Costco for checkout, a man who was standing in front of me had tons of ton items to checkout. I thought i might have to spent another hour or so to check out after him. He placed all items on checkout belt. As soon as, sales clerk started checking the items, he pulled a coupon

Google's Killer Application.

Already Microsoft getting heat from Google, that Google is capturing all critical functionalities from Microsoft office suite and developed online based Google Docs suite . From many of small business to individuals now using Google docs instead of expensive Microsoft office suite. Now Google released a "sharepoint killer application" named as Sites . It was just redesign of JotSpot wiki, which Google acquired some years back . I think that now Google can declare war against Microsoft office suite. Google has now all replacement products for Microsoft office. Actually now we are expecting a twist from Microsoft that they will release a online based mini office suite to fight against Google Apps.

Uncontrolled Musing

When I start thinking about future, my mind exploding without control, particularly current events and state of our economy. There is no definite answer to following questions. Are we at recession or depression or nothing? Occupywallstreet will become a revolutionary movement or just like tea party, it will also subside?   President Obama able to win job bill or it will go under water.   If we are not in recession, what is the status of this market? What will happen to 401k, IRA and other investments?   Are we bear market or bull market or pig? How many more days (months/years) we need to worry about our job?   When will my home value improves? The above all are somehow interrelated, a better economy spurs growth which will eliminate all uncertainty. But no one here able to pin point what went wrong and how to fix it. If we know the answer, we could have somehow fixed this mess already.The issues with unable to fix current state of economy are, Very complicated : This ec
