21st century
10000 BC - 1000 AD
King : Did we conquer that place?
Minister : Yes
King : Ok. Take the people from there as our slaves. we need them to work for us in our place.
Minister : Ok
people would be taken with them to work for the king in his land.
People cried. But they had no other choice, they worked for the king.
1600 AD -1900 AD
Lord : Are you ready to accept the power of British Kingdom?
Land lord: Yes, we are always loyal to you , Lord.
Lord : I need 10000 workers to work in my estate in Carribean Islands.Can you give them?
Land lord: Sure Lord. I will do it for you.
Next day 10000 people in their place was shipped to work for Lord in his estate.
People were worried,but it was ok for them as they were not really 'slaves'.
21st century
Client :Did you complete the work?
Company :Sir, a few more work.
Client : When will you finish it and release it to production?
Company : We will complete it soon.Our employees are working on it.
Client : Ok ,finish and sent them to my place , we have to test it there.
Next day a team of software engineers were send onsite to work for the client.
This time people are happy. They were waiting for this moment.
Society changed. Persons changed.. But the same things are happening in a new way...
Mullaperiyar Dam
"Many of the wars of the 20th century were about oil, but wars of the 21st century will be over water" . I came across this line first when I was in 10th stardard. I don’t remember from where I read this line, but it remains etched in me. It was difficult for a 15 year old student to think how could water cause a war. But today, when I see the quarrels happening across the world,I fear,whether these words will turn true.
"Mullaperiyar" is a word that everyone might have heard in last two weeks. For those outside Kerala and TamilNadu, it might be nothing more than a silly fight,just a small colomn in newspaper to waste a part of paper. But for us- Tamilians and Malayalees , it is something beyond that.
On 29th October 1886, an agreement for 999 years was made between Maharaja of Travancore, Vishakham Thirunal and State Secretary of Madras State (under British rule). It was the agreement, to build a dam, was one that changed the life of thousands of people in Tamil Nadu.Thus a dam was build in the territory of Kerala and it came under the control of British rule. This control later went to Tamil Nadu Government. But I am not going into the history of Dam as it will be too boring.
The Dam constructed by John Pennycuick in 1895, still gives water to more than four districts in Tamil Nadu- Theni, Madurai,Sivaganga and Ramanathapuram.The life of people in this region depends a lot on water from Mullaperiyar.There was no doubt that the agreement helped Tamil Nadu a lot. Mullaperiyar Dam was really a bliss for them. Today, is that dam and the agreement turning against them? Yes, I really mean it is turning against them. Let us see how it happens.
When the dam was constructed in 1895, even Pennycuick might not have dreamed like the dam standing for more than a century.The average age of Gravity Dams are 50-80 years. But yes, there are many dams that are still fine and are in good condition. It is the point that Tamil Nadu is raising now.But here we fail to notice a point. All the gravity dams that have passed the test of time, are not more than 20 meters high. But Mullapperiyar is 53 metres high. And one can easily imagine what might be the 'technology' used in those days.
IIT Delhi has already studied the construction of dam and have given the report that dam is weak. IIT Roorkie have also studied dam and have reported that dam cannot withstand an earthquake of 6.5 on ritcher scale.( click here to see the news).
Situations are becoming more serious as the earthquakes are happening in Idukki. Kerala reported like 26 earthquakes were reported at Idukki, near Mullaperiyar Dam in last few months.
Tamil Nadu, in reply told that only five earthquakes have happened. Whatever the count be, luckily none of them have reached 6.5 . One earthquake of 6.5 in ritcher scale is enough to 'you-know-what-it-will-be'
Now let us check the next part of the controversy.
Kerala : If the Mullaperiyar Dam breaks, it will flow to Idukki and break Idukki Dams. The Idukki Hydro Electric Project is based on three dams – Idukki, Cheruthoni and Kulamavu. No scientific agency has confirmed the Dam trio can withstand the thrust of the water from Mullapperiyar plus the mud, rocks and ruins. As a result of these dams’ possible collapse entire Central Kerala, including Kochi will be washed away.
Tamil Nadu : Even if dam breaks, Idukki Dam have the strength to withstand the pressure of extra water coming from mullaperiyar. So it will not be a problem.
One point is common in both statements- if the dam breaks, water will reach Idukki. . A stretch of 36 km -Mullaperiyar to Idukki. It is estimated that 450 families are residing on the banks of this stretch. Almost 70000 people will be affected by the flood in this region. Now, what about the life of people there? Aren't they humans? People in Vallakkadavu, Vandiperiyar, Keerikkara, Mlamala, Chappath, Upputhura, AyyappanKovil, Erattayar etc will be drowned. And a thing to be noted is 30-40% of the people there are Tamilians who are working in Tea/coffee estates. Water coming from dam will not check whether the person is Malayalee or Tamilian before killing. Both Government should think this before taking a decision. (In case if Idukki Dam also fails, I have no more points to say. I will not be alive to post any more blogs. See you all in heaven!)
Now let us assume that Dam is strong. But for how long it can stand? It is like we are saying that a 90 year old man is strong now and he can live another 50 more years. On one morning in 2015 or 2016 , if Tamil Nadu finds dam is not in a good situation we can't do anything. It may take another four -five years to construct a new dam. How can we prevent the disaster till then? There is no point in blaming each other at that moment. Even if the dam is strong, what is wrong in constructing a new dam if that is the only solution to bring peace in mind of people. Today, whole Kerala is waiting for a 'YES' from Tamil Nadu is start the construction of Dam. Kerala will construct it using the state’s money and will give water from new Dam to Tamil Nadu. Of course there are many tensions for Tamil Nadu, whether they get water and all.Tamil Nadu farmers have shown their doubt. But Kerala Government have made it clear that after constructing new dam, Kerala will give 100% water to Tamil Nadu. Kerala chief Minister has assured it already. We need to take a decision on this soon.
If new dam is not constructed, and if old dam fails, there will not be a new dam constructed again. It will result in a big regional fight. Tamil Nadu will not give vegetables to Kerala while people in five districts of Tamil Nadu will also be the victims of Dam failure. Definitely not by flood, the other way. While the western side of the border face calamities due to flood and its aftermaths the eastern valley of TN will be slowly drying up killing its vegetation, cultivation, animals and people. Any shortage of water supply will affect power generation from Lower Camp powerhouse and then the irrigation using this water. The people in TN are made to believe by that constructing a new dam in Mullapperiyar won’t supply them the water, but this will be what definitely happen on failure of the existing leaky water wall. TN oppose reducing the water level below 120 feet pointing that supply will be down; now what will happen if there is no reservoir at all? People in those districts will have to turn their time machine a 100 years back and will have to restart their life. Wonder if there is at least a politician, aam admi, citizen, student, scholar, teacher, labourer, govt. servant, farmer or anybody with an open eye to accept the fact as it is and understand the situation with common sense on a potential disaster? I will be just one of the victims. There are thousands of children in the aforesaid villages in Idukki who are not ready to go to school; there are thousands of mothers spending sleepless nights at their home, anticipating the roar of a rushing water wall.Let me stop here at this point, whatever the arguments be, both the states are going to suffer.
The story of Victoria Dam will be the best example to explain it. Victoria Dam was constructed in 1891 four years before Mullaperiyar dam, constructed with the same technology. But when they found that it is weak, they have demolished it(in 1990) and constructed a new one . It is the time to stop the ego.We have to stop talking and begin to act now. Else, it might end up in something similar to what happened in China in 1931. A flood in Yellow river, caused by the breaking of ice dams formed in Mangolia had killed almost 4 million people . Let us believe that Mullaperiyar dam is strong and it will not fail, but still, prevention is always better than cure.

A Random Thought
This post is inspired from A day without Cell phone by neha_rastogi02 in Infosys blogs.
I would like to share 2 examples .
Example 1 :
Scene 1 : After an Onam Vacation
Location : My home at Mavelikkara.
Year : 1977
Son : ok amma. I am leaving.
Mother : Son, please don't forget to send letter when you reach there.
Son : I will send the letter.
Father : Son, we have to leave now.Already it is late. Bus is at 6.30.
Brother: I am also coming to busstand.
Son : Bye amma. Will send letter when I reach my hostel.I will come for Christmas Vacation.
They walked 3 km to reach the bus stand.Son left to college at Malappuram (8 hours journey) . He reached there on monday morning,bunked morning class to go to post office to buy inland from post office, which is at a distance of 3 km from college. He attended afternoon class.Wrote the letter at monday night and posted it on Tuesday morning. The letter reached on Friday morning. Everyone at home were happy to see the letter. They replied a letter in reply to the letter send by son. The letter was received at Tuesday/Wednesday. Thus a medium of communication was a 10 day process.
Scene 2 : After an Onam Vacation
Location: My home at Kochi
Year : 2007
Son : Ok amma, I am leaving to hostel now.
Mother: take care son. Call me when you reach there.
Son : ok amma.
Father: I will take you to railway station.
Mother:Do call me after reaching there.
Son : Sure amma. It just 2 hour journey only na. I will be fine.
Father took son to railway station by CAR and son left to college at Changanassery in Kottayam(2 hours journey). Before reaching Kottayam 100 phonecalls asking "Where you reached? " . Atlast the son scolded "I am not a kid , I know the station and I will reach there safe." Mother replied : " But still you are a kid for me."
Son in case 1 is my Father and Son in case 2 is Me. It is sure that I too will reach my hostel safe, but why my mother have no confidence in me ? This is called 'mobile effect'. Though she has confidence, the technology is not allowing her to sit happily at home.Mobiles have positives, we can contact anytime when we need. But why we are getting adict to it? I am quite sure that this will be the situation of most of us. Even a 5 min delay in call can cause heart attack to parents or it can cause a doubt in girlfriend/boyfriend's mind whether the partner is chatting with some other person.
Example 2
Year : 1984
My parents got engaged. Father was working in Kochi and Mother was a P G student at University College , Trivandrum.
Instead of telephone numbers they just gave a photo to eachother. Once in a week they send letter.Today, we can call them as love letters. Even now, my parents have those pictures with them,that they gave each other on engagement day. They keep it in an album. Those pictures are very much precious for them.
I guess the situation is same for most of our parents. But how many of us , I mean how many in our generation will save our memories?(I am not mentioning about a marriage album).Also, I think I belong to a society who are not lucky enough to write love letters in our life.
Today when the couples leave,they will tell 'I miss you'. It is sure that they will call from 11 pm - 4 am and meet the same person the very next day or atleast once in a week or will see his/her face atleast in webcam. So what exactly is the meaning of the word 'missing' ? I feel the missing they felt in those days should be called as 'missing' .

Comparisons, Comparisons and Comparisons...
Comparisons, Comparisons and Comparisons.... Life is all about comparisons. We are happy or sad just because of our Comparisons. "I have never compared my life with anything." - I guess a few might have said this on seeing my first sentence. Now let us take a few examples.
In a class room, if a student get B grade, it doesn't make him happy or sad. But when he got B while rest of the class received 'A' grade, you know what might be in his mind( and vice versa. When the rest of the class got 'C' grade) . Thus our studies are compared with others.
Now consider a couple. "Why my girlfriend/boyfriend is not calling like my roommate's friend? Does he/she really love me like the relation between my roommate and partner? ". or ""My husband doesn't love me much now, like he loved me in the beginning of our life” . I am quite sure something similar to this might have come across in many persons’ mind. Thus our love is compared.
"Why the hell, there are lot of work in my company while my friend in another company have not much work? He also have better salary than me" . How many of us have thought this? Thus our job and salary is also compared.
If you think you have not thought any of these , then we have more examples.
When you write the entrance exam, you will get a rank. What is it? Your score is compared with others and a rank list is set up. Thus even government is comparing you.
Now take the case of an IT company. Your performance is compared with your colleagues and a rank list will be made. You know what it is called.
When we say something is good or bad in Europe, we are comparing our culture with theirs.
Thus every moment in your life is compared. Ofcourse there is nothing wrong in comparing. It is this comparisons that made the so called development in the world. A small development when compared with previous experiment motivated scientists to continue experiments and create wonderful things that we enjoy today. It is this comparison, popularly known as 'competition' helped us to work hard to beat many of our classmates and reach good positions in life.
Thus zindagi sirf teen cheezon ke wajah se chalti hain,'Comparison,Comparison and Comparison' .
But a typical character that I have noticed among all is that, we use comparisons only for finding negatives.
I have seen many friends saying "My friend in XYZ company have more salary than me". We are in a country where people are working hard for a piece of bread. Why we are not comparing our salary with them? Aren't we really lucky to get atleast a five digit salary? We have all the facilities-TV, Fridge,Washing Machine, Computer, AC,mobile and all other electronic gadgets.We have parents, friends, siblings, job, girlfriend/boyfriend/husband/wife etc. We have everything that we need infront of us. But still we are not happy. why ? Please analysis and make a good starting in 2012.
Wish you a happy and prosperous New Year (compared to 2011).

A meeting with Manager
Disclaimer : The characters in this story and the rating technique used in this story are fictitious and any resemblance to persons living or dead or any rating method existing in any industry is purely coincidental.
A Discussion in a relay and switch Manufacturing company. Raju is a worker in 'relay' manufacturing unit.
Manager : Please be seated.
Raju : Thank you Sir.
Manager : You are aware of what is grr (group race rating) right?You know you will be compared with your teammates. Before starting discussion , what you think about yourself? How was your work in last one year?
Raju : I am very proud of me sir. My target was to manufacture fifty thousand relays. But I have manufactured 75000 relays. fifty percent more than expectation.
Manager : Oh , really!!! But as you know we are checking the performance of everyone in our company.You know Ravi have manufactured 80,000 relays. Ram manufactured 70000 relays and 10000 switches.
Raju : But I have met 150% of the target. Isn't that an achievement?
Manager : hmm.. Now consider other facts. Have you published any document regarding the techniques you use to manufacture of relays?
Raju : No.
Manager : Ravi have published a document too...What about supporting colleagues? Have you supported any one for their hardwork in our company? Have you give a 'pat on the back' of anyone?
Raju : Sir , I had to work till midnight to read this target even 75 k, then how could I get time to talk to others?
Manager : That is not my fault.
Raju : I haven't even gone home on some nights.
Manager : We never told you to sit here till midnight.We told you to finish work.
Raju: How can I finish work after going home? I can't carry the relay unit with me.
Manager : I don't know.But you know you are not much efficient when compared to your peer group.
Raju : So what about my 150 % target achievement?
Manager : Our company will always appreciate that. We are thankful to you. But at the end of the day,others have done manythings more than you.So..
Raju : Thank god , there is no school in the world where they need students to score 150 marks out of 100 and still the student fails.Thank you sir for your feed back. Bye.
While coming out of conference room, Raju asked himself " Why I worked hard like this?" ...
21st century
19 th century
British Kingdom(Lord), Land lords and Common people(workers).
Land lord : Work hard. Representative of East India company came. They need 10% more rice as levy this time. We need to make it.
Workers : It is impossible. How can we make it possible , after that we don't have anything left to live.
Land Lord : I don't want to hear any excuses. I want more on next month when I come.
After a month
Land lord : How much rice?
Workers : If we do this, we and our children will starve to death.
Land Lord : Who cares you . I need it to give to Lord.
At Lord's palace :
Lord : Did you bring the levy? East India company is angry about you.
Land lord : Yes , here it is.
Lord : OK.Good. Take this as a gift from me.
Lord happy. Land lord got a small gold chain for his work. He is also happy. What about Workers?
21st Century
Client, IT company and Software Engineers .
Company : Work hard. Client told to finish work by end of next month.
Engineers : But it is very difficult sir. We have to work atleast 17-18 hours to finish task.
Company : I don't want to hear excuses. Work hard if you need salary. Else you can leave. We will find another person.
Engineers : We will do it.
After one month
Company : Did you finish work?
Engineers : Yes sir. It was really a difficult task . We really..
Company(not allowing to complete the words) : I don't want to know how you did. You did or not, that is the only thing I want to know. It is nice to hear that you guys finished it.I am paying for your work. Don't want to hear more.
At Client office
Company : sir, we have done the work .
Client : Hmm.. Good.
Company: Sir....
Client : Understood. Will give next project also to you.
Company: Thank you Sir.
Finally client is happy and Company is happy. Engineers??
200 years... Society changed. Persons changed.. But the same things are happening .

ADOLF HITLER
hi guys, my first post was a common one, let me come up with a strange post this time... i am introducing a "GOOD" man before you, the unique man-SCHKL GROOBER- didnt understand ???
he is the famous ADOLF HITLER.. He felt old name is not good , so he put the name himself, a name that changed the entire 20th century.
wht all you guys feel whn you first thnk abt him?? a mad man who killed millions of people?? a man who destroyed the entire world??? well you are rite to an extend.but i am really sad that his strengths were not found by others.........
those who learning MBA must consider him as the GURU.guys u just think the condition of INDIA,even after 60 years of independence, we r not developed, but jst look the condition of Germany when Hitler took power, everythng was destroyed in 1st world war. industries were down, agricultural land lost fertitily by bombings.. the value of mark( german currency ) were de
creasing every second at that time.. from that condition germany became world's number one country by 1938, we can tell its just military strength, but one thing is true that germans were happy with his ruling.. i do accpt his cruelty to jews, but it is not enough to cover the strength that he made for german economy...
CAN ANYONE POINT A NATION OR LEADER WHO WRKED TOGETHER LIKE HITLER AND GERMANY BEFORE OR AFTER THAT??
We all say that hitler fallen on 2nd world war.. americans are saying it proudly.. but just take a map, look size of germany italy and japan, these 3 small nations fought against rest of world for 6 years.. jst imagine that situation.no nation can ever do lik this, thats the mental strength of them. even america had to use atom bomb to finish the war, i really feel pity on that.. jst imagine america using their entire army power to destroy 300 small islands... evenif we put all those together, it wont hav size of kerala !!!
hav you ever thought why all hate hitler?? answer is quite simple, when a person is kid itself, all inject into mind that hitler is cruel .. our texts also support it.. so by the time a man grow up, he will naturally consider hitler as bad only.. NOW THINK A SITUATION- hitler won 2nd world war. then wht mite hav happend??? the same texts that say hitler is bad will contain heroism of hitler, he will be the best man in the world according to their view if it had happend... wht that really hapening now is that text books are created to support america and their principles only..
t hink youself is hitler alone responsible for that 2nd world war?? can anyone blame him alone?? we all leanrd tht it is hitlers plan, but it was actually a revenge of a brave man to those who destroyed his nation on first world war, if pakisthan do anythng bad, indians will take revenge rite? so why we blame hitler alone???
he may hav done many things wrong,but he is the man who changed the story on a complete century,his ideologies may be wrong, but he was hardworking and courageous and a NO FEAR man,such leaders are very rare in todays world...what all we say, its really true that a great leader lik hilter hav never born in the world ...
