'A happiness'

A wave of happiness swept the whole IMT yesterday when almost everybody who took any level of CFA cleared it. Everybody was happy for himself or any dear. Feelings of the people sending the congos were really overwhelming. The charm in their minds could actually be made out from the words they uttered. Really happiness is such a flash which can indulge everybody around. Even a bit of that flash can refresh your minds, body etc. of anything stale or bad located in any corner of your mind. I sometimes think why this happiness is so momentary. Why this happiness does not last that long.

I think happiness, sadness or any feeling you come across indulges your mind for some time and then resides in your mind itself. It resides there as a layer. These feelings, layer after layer, make the unconscious mind. These feelings stay there as they are and last really long.

To search any feeling that is there in your mind like a layer, you will have to first uncover the layers above that feeling. Beneath, you will find the feeling you desired for. Once found, you can do anything with that feeling like you can play, enjoy, make a fun of it, etc. Once done, it will automatically go again in your heart but will stay at the top of the stack of feelings. So the next time you want to search that feeling you will not have to go that deeper. You will be able to find that somewhere at the top. That is a wonderful way to keep your happinesses fresh.

This way you can enjoy a happiness multiple times and reach the conclusion that happiness is not a flash that just sweeps across. It is something which lasts really long. It is only that we don’t know where it stays.

It is not that hard!!

N here comes the second blog.. which actually comes at a time when nothing other than derivatives can dare to penetrate your mind. For the guys who are not much friendly with derivatives, I will have to define ‘derivative’. Derivative, as a subject, is something which is introduced in the curriculum of PGDM to increase the number of finance subjects. Derivative, as a activity, is something which has been there in world for long centuries. It finds its mention in various writing written by the people as early as Aristotle, Plato. Even in the small towns people engage into derivative practices without knowing that what they are engaging into actually sucks the MBA students. Does that mean despite studying business all the time we feel hard in understanding the simple business concepts or that Darwin’s theory of evolution, which says that human’s brain is becoming complex day by day, does not hold. I have not done any research to go with the latter so I assume first one to be true.

The question here is why we feel hard in understanding something which might be very easily and comfortably understandable in somebody else. I think that underutilization of your processor and overutilization of the hard disk is one of the primary reasons. We always try to fill one thing or another in our hard disks and hardly left with any ‘computing power’ to use the processor which is why we feel hard in processing anything. We do this without realizing that by using the processor we can make as much information as we want from a particle of information but no growth is possible in the information without the processor. It connotes that adequate utilization of processor is far more important than the overutilization of hard disk.

The reason for spending so much of power on our hard disks is that we always try to convert our RAMs into hard disks. We are always apprehensive about the retention of data in our memories without realizing that our memories are the types of RAMs(which are quite volatile), rather than the hard disks. So the effort to refresh the data in the RAM is actually the wastage of effort.

What I suggest is that we should always think before spending even a bit of our computing power on anything because it is actually a very critical resource and it should be put to use as optimally as possible.

First blog without knowing to do blogging

This is the first blog I have ever written. While reading various blogs written by so influential the people I realized I hardly know anything about anything. Then, I asked myself if I knew anything about the people or the System around. After giving many nights to these thoughts I realized that knowing anything and doing anything are completely independent. I realized that I don’t need to know anything to write. The knowledge which serves most of the purposes is the raw knowledge. It is the knowledge that is embedded in your mind through the experiences of your life. It is the knowledge that comes handy when all information acquired from the books falls flat. It is the knowledge that we call, in our b-school language, as ‘global’.

Sometimes people ask why I think that ‘global’ is more important than the knowledge which we acquire from the books. I answer that the answer lies in the word ‘Global’. Global is something which knows no bounds. No territory can control anything which is considered to be global. The territory that I want to refer to here is the territory of the books, the territory which makes us conceive that we are safe only within that territory, the territory which makes us think that our thoughts have some limit, the territory that bounds the unlimited potential that the upper 1.5 KG part of our body has. This territory makes us believe that we would be superior to somebody if we have read two more books. Had these beliefs really been true I would have been better informed that Mr. R J Masalamani(our strategy teacher) because I have gone through my strategy book and Mr. Masalamani, I believe, would not have opened it once even.

Here the question is, if Global is more important than Local, then why do we need to have anything local. I believe this again is a method introduced by our highly intelligent ancestors. According to this method, a lot many local things are continuously inserted in our minds and we are asked to assimilate, understand and retain these. This is a method to test if:

· we are able to assimilate anything global that comes our way in our life.

· If we can actually make a sense of that global thing that comes our way.

· And if we can retain any global thing that comes our way.

I believe that this method of checking us is very important to manage the chaos in the world. If we don’t have the caliber for three points stated above, we should not be allowed to move up the ladder of success and if done so, we can lead the world to the chaos.
