Changing World

                                   Miss those days when I would be fighting with my brother for the smallest toys. Miss those days when we are supposed to share everything in the house, miss those days when biscuits came in big tins, miss the yellow cloth bag. Miss the beautiful cold morning, miss the old cycles that are the only transport, miss the tasty briyanies made by mom,  miss the time when a landline is a blessing and every call is a surprise, miss all the free time that I had when I was young, miss the empty streets of Sunday, miss the days when all that neighboring countries had was rusting guns, miss the pollution free air in the city, miss the sophisticated scooters, miss the excitement of having the only channel releasing the new movies, miss the days when 10rs is all a school kid used to get, miss all the simplicity of life.

                                           I loved the days when lack of money kept families together. Loved those days when new clothes once a year are the cheers of families, loved those days when the crows are kept at bay by the lonely guard, guarding the sun dried grains, loved those days when all I had to have is, what the guy next door had to feel like a king. Loved those days when schools where on leave for the smallest drizzle. How can I forget all those days, when a kid felt, he had everything in life with just a torn shorts and an ice cream in one hand.  I am really happy that, I saw it all and sad the coming generation won’t see it. But, is it not the amazing thing about change, it never stops.  

Too much positivity

If a small child is born in India and is allowed to watch TV and go around the country, it will think that life is superb and there will be always good things happening and problems never occur. Yup, that’s what they will think; if you say I am wrong, just look around and all that you will see are banners of two people smiling, an happy couple and people with superb cars and bikes. Well about the poor, They must have done something really wrong to be there. Even they can be easily eclipsed if the only transport you use is a car and you only go to malls. I will not be surprised if a child says he wants to swim in toys and live in candy land in India today. Sure, they will suffer. But they feel really left out thinking that they are the only ones going through this. Just going through the ads in television makes me convinced, that the world is made without hell.  It seems they have solution for all the problems in life. Is Monster roaming near the treacherous path?  Buy a bike, everyone will follow you. If you feel troubled drink a coffee you will feel better. Husband is Feeling tired???  You  need a better cooking oil. While I was wondering why the ads are so positive, what harm it might do to the thinking of people, I felt they are not alone. The movies (talking about Tamil movies only) are not far behind in convincing us that we are in heaven. Hero sees a girl the girl is very beautiful and unusually humble, Likes everything the hero does. Well, wonder where the guys get the idea of teasing the gals. The place where I see negative is in the Indian TV serials, Man they are sad, packed with every worst things that is possible. Any more sadness added to this there will be no house wife’s in India. People dont realize its the reality and the truth that is more reaching to the audience, than fake optimism.  Hope the the more sensible are given the opportunity than the repeaters in the future.   

best info from unlikely source

  A financial analyst was taking a seminar about the Indian share market. He started his seminar by asking us about all the new terms and concept, for which our heads were as clear as a blue sky. Entire audience got demoralized thinking we have no knowledge of the topic that he’s going to speak. The signs of it started showing, when people where silent as a rock to his questions. But, sincere he seemed to be; he did not let himself get disheartened by the silent audience and continued. He may have taken a bad choice, with heads going down in minutes of him starting his speech and the rest thinking about the best ways to sleep. We were helpless from falling on the bench like smoked mosquitoes.  Suddenly, he stopped and asked a question, which baffled even the person in his deepest of dreams. All he asked was, “Guys I think I am boring you??” Does he need to be told? Well this person seems to need to hear it a loud. But not minding the sleepy heads he carried on and I tried listing. Getting curious of what was that which is so important, that he had to deliver to the class, which does not want to listen. I was at a shock to know that this dumbest speech, which could easily been awarded the “worst speech of the year”, had real stuff in it. As I went on listening’ he didn’t relent even though most of the class is sound asleep. He was determined to complete and my determination to listen helped me in the end. He gave tips for share trading that I would have got only if I read for hours together boring financial books. In the end I got the best info from unlikely source, even though I listened to much such speech, no single person shared so much info about trading. May be out of desperation to make people listen he opened up so much or out of interest, I can’t tell. But in the end I felt pity for the guys who missed it. 

SOLUTION TO SONY ERICSSON Cedar or J108i SOUND PROBLEM

                                 I have been using Cedar for 3 months and had problems, with it's speaker from the day one. Since, the phone was never loud enough. I thought the phone does not have a good speaker. Still worse after three months the ring tone became very low. I had to keep it in vibe mode and keep it close, just to know if someone is giving me a call. But, I discovered that there is no fault with the  phone. Just a small change done to it made its speaker very loud.
                              All I did was to open the  back cover of the phone and removed the small cloth covering the mouth of the speaker of the phone. The cloth was blocking the sound and when it starts accumulating dirt the sound reduces gradually. Also the mouth of the speaker is very small and the sound gets easily blocked even with this small cloth. I am not sure why Sony Ericsson made the speaker so bad. But, removing the cloth really helps.
                      One warning if the cloth is removed dirt and water can enter inside the phone easily. It’s either sound quality or safety option with Cedar. But, with this phone, I had to choose sound quality. Once I removed the cloth and experienced the high volume I couldn't close it any more.  Getting a decent cover for Cedar phone might help in protecting it, after the cloth is removed. Hope this information helps. I have been using the Phone without the back cover for 5 months didnt experience any problems till now.

For friend having trouble opening the back cover of Cedar check this link its not that great it might be help full: http://tntravelfuninfo.blogspot.com/2012/01/removing-back-cover-of-sony-ericsson.html

(Excitement With Caution) LOKPAL

Only a spark was needed to awaken the people who are filled with hate against our corrupt representatives of this nation. But, is it there fault alone, should we not reform our self first??? The change might have started but shall not last if the people in this nation do not loose their greed and desire to make things easy by corruption. I heard a kid saying that corruption helps things done faster, Without understanding that it’s the corruption that is slowing the progress of this great nation. It’s stupid to say our nation will be still and watch all the wrong done by our politicians. Its foolish to say that we have no choice other than to select the corrupt as leaders. Since, is this not the country where “Gandhi” the man who over through the British empire was born, but beware this is also the nation where “Godse” too was born. So, i can only feel excitement to this change with caution.
