Thoughts In A Wandering Mind

        After the initial hiccups, the sailing in the training became relatively smooth and may it stay as such till the end. Thanks to the strong dollar, the computing industry has generated lot of wealth and employment. This has ushered in a certain degree of financial independence – which was hitherto enjoyed by a elite few – to those with second tier of brains.         My complains of the peripheral hardships here would have been unmatched with the real struggles had I graduated a decade or two earlier. There is a lyric of a Telugu song sapatu etu ledu ..(which translates to ‘we have no work, atleast sing a song brother’) from movie Aakali Rajyam (translates to Hunger Kingdom) of that period which captures the turmoil and disgust, the previous generation has gone through after passing out of student life. Considering the previous state of affairs and with an income which is a high multiple of percapita in...

                     My training at Infosys,Mysore started two and half months back. It has been a period of emotions running high. There is a lot of difference between a child's imagnation and practicality - be it about the world around us or our own selves.

He would not have even drawn the kind of farewell and the wide acclaim had he been involved in any of the many charges levied against him. Beyond any doubt, he single handedly revived the fortunes of Congress in the state. His case would be best dealt if a pragmatic view is considered. True, he hailed from a faction back ground, used politician's mudslinging to denounce his opponents in the meanest of ways, severely alleged upon for misusing power, but his unique ability to feel the common man's pulse had lifted him to a position of comfort which he would have enjoyed far into the future.
