Proving my points right!!

Proving my points right to a friend who criticized my previous article!!
Point 1 argued: A/Cs do not emit CO2 so they are safe...
My answer - Chlorofluorocarbons find application as coolants in refrigerators and air conditioners. These are released during manufacture of aluminum; hydro fluorocarbons are released during the production of foam and other manufacturing processes. They remain in the atmosphere for a long time and trap heat. Moreover they are slowly damaging the ozone layer that protects the earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation

Point 2 argued - Too many vehicles on the road with A.C. that add to the misery. This is not due to Electricity
My answer -Car engines require spark to start combustion which comes from battery. Try starting your car / bike without battery

Point 3 argued - Too much entertainment for the senses leading to eye & hearing problems.This has to do with sloth and not electricity.
My answer - If no electricity then no T.V & no radio or music system. Isn't it true that many people are getting affected nowadays because of this??

Point 4 argued - Obesity due to automation of everything around us!! Another vice called Gluttony. Depends on individual responsibility.
My answer- Just see what happens if automation stops for an year and how healthy people become. Individual responsibility arises due to the fact that there is automation in the first place in this context

Point 5 argued - Too much exposure to radiation from cell phones causing brain damage.True. But as technology evolves, so will the cell phones. How many people get brain cancer from cell phones that you have read or heard of?
My answer - So are you waiting for people to die and then change your habit??there is no disputing the fact that cell phone usage has increased over the years and for many young people it's become a obsession.

Point 6 argued - Fat ass is a strong word. One has to work to pay off the loan.
My answer - work sitting all day long in front of the computer??wat an idea sirji!!

Point 7 argued - Too much pornography on the net which provides easy way to harass children. It's just a vice....
My answer - Dude wake up to reality!!God save you from cyber crime....It's increasing by the day!!

Point 8 agreed upon

Point 9 argued - I would prefer a Robot to clean by bathroom than a human.
My answer - I am talking about Industrialisation and not your bathroom.....You have a very good view :-)

Point 10 argued - Aircrafts and airliners that have polluted the ionosphere in the name of quick access!!And it's because of fossil fuels and not electricity...
My answer - Without electricity can your engine start?? can your radar work??wat nonsense!!

Point 11 argued - Ships & boats have increased competition and suicides. What??
My answer - Of course nowadays you have a motor boat and ships that need radar that can be operated only with electricity. And the food items bought would rot without maintaining the temparature with the help of refrigerating systems....

Point 12 argued - Development of weapons of mass destruction that is a threat to the whole world.What does this have to do with electricity?
My answer - Wihtout a propellant and without computer aided design can you build a missile or a nuclear missile?? wat a stupid question!!

Point 13 argued - Easier spread of viruses around the world like swine flu, SARS etc....No virus spreads have been reduced due to advances in medicine due to electricity...
My answer - If you kept your environment clean and body & mind active the diseases won't occur at all...Moreover a Mexican gets swine flu but a young Indian dies just because of people transporting the virus through aircrafts!!Open ur eyes will you??

Point 14 argued - GM foods are caused due to humans and not electricity.
My answer - Ok if humans did not have electricity can they make GM foods??think!!

Point 15 & 16 - no comments but final conclusion being human weakness is the cause. I am saying the weakness is caused due to application of automation in our lives.....

Cheers,
Jayu

B.E & A.E the two eras (Wondering Why??)

Hello everyone!It's been a long time since I posted a blog and I hit upon a beautiful topic that my colleague was discussing with me. We all know about the 2 eras namely B.C & A.D (Before Christ!!) & (After Christ)!! right??

Well I would say that there are only 2 eras namely (Before Electricity) & (After Electricity). Benjamin Franklin must be wondering why?? Hmm and I know you have already decided that I have gone nuts....Well, I have a point to prove!!Let's see the effects of having electricity now!!

1) Too many Air conditioners that pollute the environment causing Global warming
2) Too many vehicles on the road with A.C. that add to the misery
3) Too much entertainment for the senses leading to eye & hearing problems
4) Obesity due to automation of everything around us!! Like washing machine, T.V & Audio Remote control, Automatic doors etc...
5) Too much exposure to radiation from cell phones causing brain damage
6) Online payment of bills, bank transactions, applying for loans, cards etc that don't require you to move your fat ass!!
7) Too much pornography on the net which provides easy way to harass children
8) Changing food habits (looking @ junk food ads on TV) , Road accidents (due to stress), health troubles are all caused due to laziness and automated fast paced life of ours that in turn create a need for X-ray machines, scan machines, Electrocardiograms etc....
9) Robots and machines that have reduced the employment opportunities
10) Aircrafts and airliners that have polluted the ionosphere in the name of quick access!!
11) Ships and boats that have increased smuggling and importing of goods from other countries which in turn affects the local Indian farmer and businessman fueling the growth of suicides and mad competition
12) Development of weapons of mass destruction that is a threat to the whole world
13) Easier spread of viruses around the world like swine flu, SARS etc....
14) Genetically modified food and crops that are the most unhealthy ones to eat!!
15) Selling of processed meat (by machines) increased which in turn has created lots of health hazards to people and increases the Global warming due to more cattle being bred for meat fodder!! (Apparently Cattle waste is the predominant creator of Greenhouse gases!!)
16) and finally in the name of social media people like me write blogs to reach out to friends instead of going and meeting them in person :-) natural group dynamics is formed only when we meet in person!! laziness again!!

and the list just keeps going on....

So, friends think deep about the topic I have posted and pray that the Coulombs of charge helps us get charged rather than getting us into more troubles......

Until next,
Jayu.....

2008-Rewind and 2009-Fast Forward

Hi Guys,

It's been long since I posted a blog and frankly speaking I did not have anything to share with you guys since my last attempt. To start with when I look back at 2008 lots of things creep into my mind...

Well firstly I don't want to repeat all the sensational news that the News channels carry for getting the TRP ratings. Life shows to us as we look at it. Now, let us look at what had happened:

1. India-US nuclear deal inked amidst so many protests. Ironically, the nuclear man of India thought otherwise but was asked to keep his mouth shut :-)
2. India decides to go ahead with Iran-Pakistan-India Gas pipeline ignoring US pressure. US must be having nightmares about the growth of India. As always trying to backstab :-(
3. India and France sign pact for civilian nuclear technology which went out of focus due to the US nuclear deal and the drama!!
4. Year 2009 to be ‘Year of India’ in Russia. Did you know that?? So, pack your bags and head to Russia for a vacation this year. Statutory Warning: Going for vacation is detrimental to financial well being of IT folks!!
5. Reliance power raises $ 3 bn within a minute. This becomes India’s biggest IPO. Does not matter now. The Sensex is now perplexed :-(
6. Michael Jackson – converted to Islam and changed name from Michael to Mikaeel. Did you ever have a clue??Well, not even me :-)
7. Vishwanathan Anand wins world title after vanquishing Vladmir Kramnik. But he continues to stay in Spain. I think its much more peaceful than the mayhem here eventhough I encourage people to help this country grow sans our Netas!!
8. Virender Sehwag joins Lara and Bradman to be the only players to score two test triple hundreds
9. Tendulkar is now world’s highest test-runs scorer.Of course we know this :-)
10. Reliance Industries (RIL) Chairman Mukesh Ambani with net worth of $20.8 billion, displaces Lakshmi Mittal to become the richest Indian in the world
11. Aravind Adiga becomes the fourth debut novelist to win the coveted Man Booker Prize for his novel, “The White Tiger”. Remember this was his debut novel!! Have you guys read this book?? If yes, I need to borrow :-)
12. Chandrayaan 1 successfully launched on 22nd October from Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota. What a feat achieved!!
13. And of course the biggest IT sensational news was Satyam Computer Services chairman facing the brunt of investor rage after he decided to invest all the money in Maytas to support Hyderabad metro!! Well, ironically Satyam received the coveted "Golden Peacock" award for corporate excellence and so all I can say is 'Rumours spread faster than AIDS :-)'

Well, most of the news I shared are the good ones that you might have missed out other than the regular news bytes on Olympics and Obama fever. Of course I have conciously ignored the Mumbai terror attacks that still leaves me bewildered about our politicians...... And yes Tatas would get goosebumps when they look back!!Never in their history they could have suffered so much due to the political inefficiencies and greed!!

And personally I grew wise and determined with my career and life. After all the Hard work I got an "Average" rating and ironically my boss claims that he was oblivious to the fact :-) "Boss Mania continues" to haunt me!!And he continues to promise me to look into revisiting the rating and money :-) I handled few successful consulting assignments getting accolades from the clients and learnt so much about the intricacies of Market Research. And in personal life I have learnt to ignore my haphazard diet sensations and be more careful. Realised the value of time and choosing friends!! Never again I wil do a mistake of accepting a friend before I know what I need to know about them!!

2009 Plans / Wishes

• To author a fiction novel
• To buy a new car & house (Hopefully, we stop becoming greedy about selling our plots and houses more than the guideline value)
• To get married :-) (Well personally it takes guts to say that I might not be a bachelor anymore!! Sorry to break some hearts ;-) Hopefully I create a sensation)
• To grow in my career and hopefully get some hike and promotion. Heights of optimism being starting a New Business and make profits in this economic scenario :-)
• To see some Indian politicians die of greed and curse :-)
• To become less spiritual. Well, not that I claim to be spiritual but atleast stop worrying about reading "God and his creations"

So, guys "Wish you a very happy and prosperous New Year" May all or atleast some percentage of the wishes come true :-)

Jayu...
