Leaving on a jet plane

As another semester  comes to an end filled with excitement and tension similar to a movie. Never know if I will live to see another semester or not.
It's time to listen to 'leaving on a jet plane'. When I had just gone to BITS, the air-fare had gone really low - like Rs 2k or something. As a semester would end , I would prepare myself that , let this go from next time I am studying . Wait this was supposed to be funny

Yea so, I  kinda got programmed to listen to this song, and in my head I 'fly' back home . Too bad the air fare increased after couple of months and every time I had to take Goa Express sleeper class to go back home. Yet, to me, its like leaving on a jet plane.

ea sports fifa career mode

EA sports fifa should make changed to their play as a player mode. they should have custom made scenarios where one can play as say messi and play in the games that he has played , for eg against real being marked by pepe . or play as pepe where he has to mark messi.

They can have this for 10 -12 famous players present and future. It would be fun and can be made into a story mode .  hopefully they make enough changes to keep the game interesting enough in the future.

squash and anime powers required

Following is the list of anime powers i need to get , to become a great squash player

Kaioken attack.- It's like a massive upsurge of energy. Everything is heightened, power, speed, even hearing and vision improve dramatically. You sort of become a super-self. But it can only be sustained for a short time, so you have to get the job done quickly."  This part is copied from net , i hope they dont care

shargina - special eyes that let you see , every movement of your opponent. advance users can make the opponent see stuff ( fake kinda thing).  one very useful power is that you can copy the moves of your opponents. 

more to follow

some economics - stuff related to opening up fdi invstment

my thesis in my masters has led me to some insights into economy. most importantly seeing stuff as opportunity cost. This led me to present my views on policy change in FDI and allowing more investment in retail sector.

Let me first give a example or the way i see this problem. suppose you have a farm land . But you don't have the resources say tractor, labor etc to use it. Now one way would be to sell it and acquire the money or say rent it . This is the story of Allowing FDI in retail. Its a field almost a gold mine which we cant tap into and so we are about to sell it. There is no good or bad in this situation, we can only see the alternatives we have and the choices we can make.( which include the ability to negotiate, like rite now india might not have a big leverage)


The pros include we get some money coming into the indian economy which can boost up its growth back to
and better level. Also it might lead to more reforms and better efficiency in retail.


Till now many people think that opening up of market in 1991 was the best thing india did. It has resulted in india being the major ( or atleast now predicated to be a major)  player in world market , with great economic development to show for. We now have the modern cars, all the gadgets , great industries (blah blah technology advancement). Coupled with the fact that india always had a great edge ( assumption i think so) in education due to culture and british influence .

But there could have been a different story, say we hadnt opened up these markets but made a self sustanable market ( make people spend more) and gotten all the technology developement on our own. And allowed only a knowledge transfer back then. in this case ,I still think the 1991 bank ruptcy came 10 years too soon. had it happen after the day of internet. and we could have tilled that farm on our own and reaped more benifits. a analysis like that of what we gained and what we lost in terms of opportunity should be done.

A similar case when countries in Africa sell their resources to china, they cant tap into them and since they are poor they cant negotiate. Their edge might be that they will never have the population as high as india. Their weakness ( again education assumption) is their education and how they can use the resources to make a more solid basis for future growth.






So how does globalisation, work the other way, private companies have and will shift their industries to places where they get cheaper labour, unless strong enough governments are there to force them not do so.
As globalization advance it leads to a more Captilistic world. This world where many resources  will be owned by private organistations( i dont know where china stands here) will be dramatically different from today. For one government will be much weaker. They can never fight against any market force even if its morally wrong .i dont know if captalist see short term , but a market force, forcing them to do so cant be countered  so again this might lead to short term gains.
This also will require therefore that capitalist take higher moral stands.
This system might also favour the bigger companies.


coming back to the case of FDI we must also inculde the cultural and social changes that take place due to FDI, like 000 

need for speed

just imagined how the new nfs game should be.

all the old games about running from the cops , its about time they make a game where you play the rookie cop. your job is to catch all these people chasing, with cut scenes of action.

You start of as some normal cop, whose over eagerness to catch some speeding guy lands him in some place known for all the fast raceing people.

you get support helicopters , who some times tell you wrong directions. a boot camp of how to catch these people. as you get  better you set up  plans and traps 

what happens when calvin and hobbes kid grows up

when i go to class i feel it to be to slow, no matter how good, bad a class is it never uses your complete imagination, or i should talk about myself it never uses my compelte brain power. No adrenalin rush. There is no possibility of ridding the thin line of luck and skill and doing something in the spur of the moment that makes you wonder. Some time people are tense , but not in a good way. I dont want to compare it with football or something, but something real time action i want. I wonder what will happen to the that calvin and hobbes kid when he grows up. Can he keep up his imagination in the real world and still live the world ( as in do well - i mean that kid is a genius isnt he ? so can he live up to his potentional and all ) or does he have to give in to reality.

just to finish it up, what about all the kids whose imagination we are firing off, how to give them chance to do something with same imagination
