In India, the production rate of engineers doctors and MBA's has reached a saturable limit.
One day more than half the country will have the same skill set and applying to the same job.
So we do some number crunching and come to point that there are less number of jobs. Ok, turn around pick your hand up and point your finger at the government.

Well that guy needs your vote, he turns around, looking westward for some favorable outsourcing winds to cool down the temperatures.

Once upon a time a mechanical engineer worked at a plant, a civil engineer at a site, a electrical engineer at a station. Now we bundle people with varied skill, feed them JAVA,C,.DOT NET and the works and introduce them to stress, eye problems and Disillusionment.

Forget engineers, even commerce, finance graduates work for the IT companies. Sometimes we think they dont have a choice, cause jobs apparently are only available in software.

Not at all, people who become engineers all wanted to do computer engineering... but apparently since there are only 1000 computer science seats, they get into any field, take NIIT or whatever courses related to the computer to have a resume which will finally let them earn their big bucks.

Rewind- why did all of us end up studying for computers ?

Because some said the bucks were there.

 The last biggest  PROFITABLE invention was the computer.
So the corporate pigheads put all their money into it. So only  research that helps created better versions of a computer  at any reputed university is funded.

Education creates industry. But not anymore, Industry develops education. We are inventors no more. We are just re-inventing what we already know.

In my country, people believe education gives rise to intelligence.
We forget education is a collection of what intelligent minds learned over thousands of years. Education is just a guide to what can be achieved by us.

We dont want to add a new chapter to our textbooks. We just use what is already present. We use science to become engineers and not scientists.

So far, atleast I believe that art has not been confined to textbooks.
The fear of not having a guide to art, pushes people away from it.

The biggest advice given is study a lot earn a lot and live life to the fullest. What if i want something more than that?

Agriculture, mining, medical, electrical, art, politics, history,literature is starved of bright young minds.

If I may my current education in IC making, apparently does'nt make me industry ready. Once I get a job as a fresh graduate, the IC making industry has to put time and money into me for making me worthwhile to them.

So they would rather increase the retirement age of their so called stressed, experienced professional.

As Sir Ken puts it education isnt tailor made to my personal interest, it is tailor made to suit the needs of the most profitable industry at that age.

Lets go back to the old ages, were farmers, musicians, kings, prime minsters blacksmiths, dancers, writers we are not forced to join Infosys, because it had a beautiful mysore campus and a uniform pay grade.

In one Lifetime
Time is ticking... I listen, I feel

Sometimes I want to sit at home and watch the whole world pass me by...
I dont know what is Wasting time...
If I am wasting , but what should my time be filled with...
Thoughts about life, fun laughter, weekends with friends

What are you doing now?
"Nothing"
What are you tomorrow?
"Nothing"

I am not taking Life as it comes...
I am just sitting it out...
On a Bench...
Just fell in love..
learning to love..

I live listening to songs..painting whatever I want to!!
Thinking of my Ambitions...
waiting for my turn...
Take life by its horns they say..
Make a difference...
Take my hand and show me the way...
You come Alone and you go away alone...they say
but I dont want alone...
I like my loneliness.. only to let in my thoughts
not to live life alone on my own...

Enlightenment I long for...
Roam streets of different cultures
Learn their secrets
Write books...
Be famous..
Be the the quite traveller in a cafe
be the girl on a billboard
Hold hands with my partner in fields of daisies

A reformist
A revolutionary
A poet
A kind soul
member of a secret society
A conspiracy theorist
A conspirator

I want to be Remembered
To be forgotten

I want to be what you want to be
What you want me to be

All i want is to BE

Chic matters

The chick with the mind of its own. Could have done it better, pastel art is challenging, my tryst with color has been very engaging.

Diving into Elation

My first pastel art!!! Nothing more nothing less.. More or less specifies my state of mind.

Ocean man

Please dont try guessing who this is, I will save you trouble, it is GEORGE CLOONEY!! This is one of the few portraits I have done where people havent been able to really identify the person.I think I didnt use enough dark shades. Well, for me once I think I am done with a sketch that's all there is to it. Nothing can turn back my mistakes.

No strings attached

Are we human or are we dancers?(inspired by the song "Human -by The Killers")
To what tunes we answer?

Freestyle movers or puppets hung
do we write our own desires
or follow ones already sung

do we cha cha salsa or rock
keep your toes pointed or
your style may run amok

i can sing aloud in masses
jump around to my beat
do i need classes ?

Oh why my feet feel wooden
when dear ones fly
over to the clouds far away

making my own tunes
to break the shackles
try i will to shape my rhythm
and bend my toes

here i go!!!

Wisdom or so it may seem!!

I had a spark of gyan, or so it seems to me..
I have gained a little knowledge on the workings of this unreal universe.
I am always caught-  to believe or not to believe...
  My heart  will always believe...but my mind assimilates all the worldy information and guides my senses to a scientific or human thought!

My questions about life have always remained unanswered for a long time...
No atheist or a god fearing man as ever been able completely push my beliefs
Each have their concoctions of their theory they have derived.
Science is the answer or will be says the atheist.
One of my friend says no religion convincingly answers his question on evolution.
He is sure of the non-existence of GOD or the creator. He says science may not have the answers to all the questions right now...but science is not done... with its exploration and will have answers in due course of time...
Scientists never say that theories are 100% correct.
They say 99.99% this is the correct answer or solution or proof.

Moving over,if you ever come across a devout he will give you as they call a guaranteed or a mathematically 100% proof of existence of the Supreme being GOD.He says all you need is faith not proofs!!
One may argue, like  my mind does in its state of turmoil ... that he may not have given you a practical answer and all that he answers are in roundabout circles.

But for me the simple truth is "Faith in God gives gives me peace of mind, faith in science needs proof"

 I fear that we only believe in things that our level of wisdom permits us too. Sometimes  people assume that they have  reached a state higher intellect, once their wisdom has run them out.

i.e they have achieved the Ultimate truth or are getting there.... so they dont believe in what they assume as Concocted theories...

Sometimes they simply forget that there have been people of higher intellect in their past or even maybe in the future... so a man in the present can never assume he has achieved all knowledge...
Therefore i conclude...one musnt rubbish wisdom imparted from theist... as you may not have the necessary level of understanding to achieve or realise the presence of GOD...
One must be always an open vessel...collecting information and not throw anything away..for fear that sometimes it might be the answer to all questions...
My belief that everything comes a full circle is slowly taking a very strong formation.
As in fashion and so in various fields of art and science... old rules/laws theories styles always come back to relevance again...so one musnt throw knowledge that has been there for centuries assuming that they have become extinct.....

I believe Nothing is GOD....
one may finally create matter.... out of nothing....
but who  creates the nothing??
