As I had said in some previous post of mine, I have a subject called Management of Self in Organization. As a part of the curriculum we are supposed to write an autobiography. So, I was actually thinking about my life till now (yeah as many ppl here say, I am too old to be here coz I am 26) and the stuffs which had happened. I was actually amazed to see that it was more like a cycle of events in my life just keeps happening again and again. This got me thinking about it. This led to me raising a few questions about these stuffs.
1. Why is it that I usually am hesitant in opening my mouth??
2. Why is it that even when I know I am right I don’t want to get into an argument?
3. Why is it that I am always thinking of not hurting others, even if it hurts me?
4. Why is it that even after taking all the precautions not to hurt others there are people who think that I hurt them?
5. Why is it that I suddenly run out of ideas for conversation when actually all I want is to spend some time talking to someone?
6. Why is it that I am not good in at least something?
7. Why is it that I end up on the losing side in most of the situations in my life?
8. Why is it that every night I think of new and amazing ways of popping up the all important question, think and find faults in it and finally convince myself that it is never gonna happen, only to start of all afresh the next day and repeat the same?
9. Why is it that I so much wanna help someone when I know it is all of no use and will be washed down the drain?
PS: Why is it that all these stuffs strike to me and make me write something usually at 4:30 am when I haven’t slept the entire day and have a class at 8:30 am?
PPS: Why am i posting a set of questions on my 50th post?

Modern technology: Final resort to fight crime ?
Well... One more series of bomb blasts. This time in Agartala. I was just thinking on how this could have been avoided. Well I dunno what the intelligence is doing... nor am i supposed to know, neither do i wanna know. But I was thinking what could be done. Will better information be useful? Can't some data mining or some stuff like that be done to get more information about these people.
Thinking about this, I was going through a last week's edition of Economist where i found this article . Well this goes on to talk about what i was thinking about. Imagine the power which is in the hand of the intelligence if we get the all the data and could correlate as given in the article. Yeah, being in India, we could leave the religion from this. Or we need not concentrate only on a particular community. Remember we are fighting the enemies of the nation and not any particular community.
But will such a thing ever be done in India. If it finds opposition in US of A, won't it find an opposition in our country where the Human Rights Commission is fighting vehemently against hanging a criminal mastermind who was responsible for attacking the very center of our governance? Will it ever care about the safety of the country?
I think one of the major problems in our country is that each of these commissions and agencies and et al have their own agenda and programme. Well just having their own agenda is not at all a problem. Only problem is that they are adamant and stubborn to stick to it in all conditions. Yes Mohd Afzal might be a citizen of India and yes, protecting his rights would have been your right(??), but now that he is proved to have worked against the country, I cannot find any sense in trying to protect him.
I still feel that it is the necessity to have such advanced technologies to fight against the modern threats facing our countries. Remember we are no longer fighting some uneducated individual who just comes over throws a few grenades, fires a few tens of rounds of ammunitions and blows himself. We are fighting some highly educated individuals, who knows how to use technologies and are using technology to fight. To protect our lives and livelihood, i think we should be ready to give up a bit of our privacy.
PS: All opinions are my personal opinions.
