Hacking of Family with Aadhar - A Data Marriage !!

Image
                       Sun for Solar system, Father for Family, Namo for India, 'Aadhar' for growth. Link everything with Aadhar. PAN or SIM Card or Debit Card or PDS Smart Card or School ID Card. Then what, I can virtually track anyone. 'My Aadhar, My Identity'. Just imagine if Aadhar aids Artificial Intelligence and goes takes marital role linking Aadhars of Husband, Wife and Children in a family. An 'Aadhar Family', shortly 'AaF'. Beyond social connection at home, a Family can be linked digitally outside home. Aadhar's growth is usurping today. Within its 2 years of activation, it has already hit Right to Privacy. Beyond what it has already linked and what it is doing already, lets imagine what it can possibly do and what it is capable of. We cant deny our imaginations, be it positive or negative, but instead can only control. Marriage Hacked !!                     ...

Music Memory

Image
                          "Memory is defined as the faculty of mind by which information is encoded, stored and retrieved. Its the retention of info over a period of time influencing future actions. Its related to limbic systems and vital to experiences". Definitions like these are always head-spinning. Must be reminding the financial investment disclosure ads where a famous voice speaks in ultra speed like 'Mutual fund schemes are subjected to market risks. Please read the offer documents carefully before investing'. Yes, Memory is that complex to handle even at definition level. Because, for example, what If you forget Good memories but unable to forget bad memories ? Apart from its complexity and many other unique attributes, I ll take up its storage attribute. Forget Cerebrum or Medulla Oblangata. What If Music plays a part in memory storage ?  Thats what my contention is. Blanket of Music over Mind  ...

Respect Cash in Cashless Economy

Image
                  Every Indian, be it Literate or Illiterate, should have been able to explain something about the word 'Cashless'. Thanks to euphoria created by our Prime Minister Modi around Digital India Dreams. Despite Modi, more to it like movie comedies with beggars carrying PoS machines, villages in media flash to first go cashless, (Demon)etisation pushing it hard enough. There has to be something out of it. Otherwise it would have never got such public fraternity right ? Barring with claims of so-called Stoppage of Terror funding and Counterfeit controlling, the most important outcomes genuinely are Black Money Regulation and Organizedness in economy. Latter meaning simply that whatever happens in economy, monetarily and financially, its completely visible for government. Does that sound sweet enough ? This is what a Common man's Financial murmuring been, 'Kodi kodiya adikaravana lam vutrunga !!' ('Leave those who loot in crores'). ...

Vadivelu - Indian Chaplin!!!

Image
        The name 'Vadivelu' ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vadivelu ) itself gives us a flash of expressions, mannerisms and dialogues he has mesmerized the audience with for years in Tamil Cinema. A non-Tamilian grasps him rarely as he is a pure locally inclined comedian. But that has never made him inferior to be compared alongside comedian greats of the world. Cinema has no linguistic boundaries. Art's beauty lies in its universality across global languages. Vadivelu's mesmerism too extends way beyond dialogues that a non-Tamilian can easily miss. As an Hard-core fan, still grasping each and every inch of him as he starts appearing on screen, I will try exploring my version of 'Vadivelu'.          A Comedian succeeds when audience starts laughing seeing only his face. As he gives a Police commanding look in Maruthamazhai or A King's look in Pulikesi or A Rowdy look in Thalainagaram, he just nails it. I have started laughing numerous tim...

Real race is yet to start in Education!!!

Image
             An Education system should be pushing students to think, to create, to regulate, to manage, to empathize. But in India, it has been propounded on the principles of raw knowledge. WHEN you use it, HOW you use it, WHY you use it has always been a big hovering question around this system. They are given Books, taught in classes by Teachers and questions quite straight forward such that except time and speed of writing, nothing much to work upon. We are not tested much for conceptual understanding.              Students are experts in sticking to what system wants. They learn the way the system wants, reproduce as the system expects. All future education opportunities relying on such a system's outcome easily moulds students towards such rote learning. Schools too have set the path at earnest perfection towards producing marks and creates methods to score marks as the only objective. So participants of this...

Is Indian Road Driving really an Art to Cherish ??

Image
               A long mongering topic in my mind each time I start my Bike !! Sounds funny when we call a Driving Citizen an artist. But Yes he/she is. Driving is an art normally but to have such an uniqueness in it is not ordinary. It has all its artistic excellence to make India proud to be the Worst road ever for driving in world. Government has its own contribution in this achievement which is hailed considerably. But Citizen's contribution is completely neglected here. I am here to explore that. You would have come across certain elements in front of you while driving. Some would have been performed by yourself. Thump your chests with proud how dutiful citizens you were and you will !! Marvellous kind !! Drive like an Indian !!                Disc brakes have made life easy for youth especially. They save a lot of time with short strand driving. Means, rise to 80 in 5 seconds, brakes at tip of c...

Directors I grew with - Part 1 - Selvaraghavan

Image
            Cinema is one of the most potent deception the earth has ever witnessed. As you enter the theatre in its pristine dark environment, your mind slowly starts radiating any stress you were carrying. Some would have entered the hall for their favorite hero/heroine, some for their director or some to step out of stress and some for reviewing (Latest crop of audience). I would like to touch upon the director as a fan favorite, nothing more !! I am not here to glorify anybody like he is one of the best the cinema has ever seen or he has put lots of hard work to come up or he is like that etc etc. Because cinema is already over glorified mainly because of too much promotions and marketing more than necessary. That always gives us a feeling of whether cinema is only one field where there are real achievers. Cinema's deception potency has no bounds.               Great Directors across the world showcase uniqueness in ...

Do India really need a National language?

Image
                              I am not writing this to justify Hindi should not be the National Language. Because it is not already. Its officially the Official language. So why does India require a national language ? Its because a Tamilian can fluently complaint to a Delhi Minister or a Maharashtrian to sell Jio sim easily in North east or a Tribal can greet a Punjabi Ecotourist like 'Kaise ho (How are you)' or every citizen starts understanding the meaning of each central government scheme or its that PM can address people in a bid to ensure 'The nation wants to know (what he speaks)'. I tried hindi and somehow learnt that sound 'gaha'. I faced this problem when I was about to sing a Hindi song in my company's culturals. But does it stop at reproducing 'gaha' or is there any more to it ? No, but can it be or should it be ?                       ...

Has Indian Democracy become Democrazy enough ??

Image
                  This one particular topic came to my mind because of the mindset of governance in India. Whenever India says its the largest democracy in world, it means that every act of governance is for people's welfare. But it should also mean how much people has perceived it like that !! Its very important for people as the primary contestant in democracy !! This gives them the order of Socrates automatically to understand and perceive governance ways. If governance in turn do not perceive it in right way, then its perceiving the democracy itself wrongly. Ufff wats really Reality is ??                     Media is one big way to analyse such demographic perception of governance. But its objective remains farther from depicting reality. Paid/Fake news has taken a new form called 'Distraction' news. Exaggeration and continuous feeding of information has been used to either shape u...

A 5 day live thriller movie - Test Matches

Image
                 Cricket had its origin with a Test match in 1844 between USA and Canada. Compared with other two formats - ODI (since 1971) and T20 (since 2005), test format has its indispensable 175 years of history and contribution to cricket. Heated debates prevail over silent cornering of this important format by T20 (even ODIs face that now). Test format have long been accused since last decade of being boredom, contracting lesser audience and among all, no glamour in its essence anymore (comment of a common fan!). Is test format losing its shine really ? I dont think so !! It has been beautifully sculpted in last two to three years by players across globe. It has started breaking all the accusations. A reflection of it was ICC's plans for Test championship (A World cup in Test Matches). I believe more than to save the format, it is to acknowledge its evolution to Cricket. It has developed all in-built features and ready to compete wit...

Being an Indian and investing in Shares

Image
                        I have barely heard any normal Indian (called as Retail Investor) speaking about nuances of share market or an idea of investing in there. Top corporates, MBA graduates, foreign investors etc have been major active participants driving our Share (Capital) market. For a normal Indian, its an arena where one requires luck (Investment doubling in a month) or virtual operation is always deceptive or you get Jackpot/Nothing kind of views. We can arguably put the views into one word - 'Casino/Lottery'. Means he still cant understand the basic functioning of the market. Is it their mistake not trying it to understand ? But actually its the mistake of the market in itself with such complexity and volatility that even a market expert sits in for a continuous deep research to come out with near-exact predictions. So where does they park their savings now ?                 ...

Whom else should I Vote ??

Image
                                A Pan-India question highly vocal in last decade. Despite being conscious-victims to Money/Caste/Religion/Dynasty-based politics, they always do that with this dilemma. Victims range from middle to poor classes of society. Lots of cinemas (especially Tamil ones) have repeatedly exclaimed the situation that it has become a cliche I wonder !! Whenever they feel being cheated by the government, they would raise a strong opinion not to vote for it next time. Like the "Ball in your court" idiom, alternative governments still continues as the norm. During every election day, our dilemma latches on our back like the Vikramaditya-Vedhalam story. As the solution for dilemma comes for the debate in Tea Shop parliament, after a long usual ruckus as it happens in real parliament, Tea shop parliamentarians comes to that usual conclusion - "Enatha paesunalum vera vazhi illa !!" ("Neverthel...

Dhoni is not more than Sachin!!!!

Image
                                Dhoni - the word's power has been growing day by day since his entry into cricket in 2004. As he entered the ground with a long hair, no fan would have expected him to have contributed this much to cricket. When Indian team was long devoid of a Batsman-Wicket keeper on likes of Gilchrist, Dhoni proved his entry scoring 148 against Pakistan and 183 against Srilanka. When India was devoid of a Captain after 2007 worst world cup exit, Dhoni filled the heels with 2007 T20 World cup triumph. When India lost matches by 50 to 60 runs everytime, Dhoni decided to become Batsman-Wicket keeper (cum) Finisher on likes of Bevan and Hussey. Is it not a miracle in world cricket where one man adding each role to his cadre one by one whenever team needs it badly. I look to unveil some of such Dhoni's miracles both as a fan and an admirer. He acted not against traditions in cricket but added v...
