Donald Trump and US’s fate

-
I am not a fan of Donald Trump.

He is a bully. He is a misogynist. He is a hypocrite. He is a racist. He uses religion to further his means. 

He just got lucky being born in a rich family and has zero empathy for the rest of the world struggling.

He is bad for the Environment. He moved US out of Paris accord. We were to slow down the destruction of earth and US being the largest pollutant in the world would have made a big difference. He has also reversed many Environmental laws - so Businesses can make more money. Like he allowing drilling in Alaska.

He sided with Dictators around the world. So US could sell more missiles to some countries to bully their neighbours.

Sigh.

US is self destructing under Trump.

I like USA. It was my home for 6 years of my life. India tugged our hearts and we got back. But had I got into academics - if I had continued after MS into PhD I might have still been in US now.  Or if I had got bit by an entrepreneurial bug while I was in US, I might be running my own startup there.

I don’t like what is happening in US.

I don’t like bullies. I don’t like misogynists. I don’t like hypocrites. I don’t like racists. I don’t like people mis-using religion.

I wish Trump loses this election. 

US has made a mess of its democracy. It is ironical that Hillary Clinton won the majority people’s vote, yet lost the Presidency. Because of the electoral college concept. 

I read somewhere that US election is on Tuesday - and it is not a holiday - so the lower working class people cannot go to vote - the majority cannot decide their own fate. Instead the rich and powerful go to vote - on their way to the Golf course - and keep the power among themselves.

So many of the democracies in the world have collapsed. Greeks, Romans.. The systems collapse after a while.

In US - the TV industry became dominant and a realty star took advantage of it. 

The democracy in US is collapsing. 

It affects everyone - including me. 

If Trump loses it might slow down the collapse a bit. Or US will wake up and see how close to the brim they were. 

I am quite depressed thinking of the US situation.

Shahul Hameed still lives...

-
Today I was listening to Thiruda Thiruda - A.R.Rahman's 3rd movie which whenever I listen transforms me to the slogging days of 12th Standard. However, I was listening to Raasaathi en usuru ennuthilla and remembered the voice - Shahul Hameed - the unfortunate singer who died so young in a car crash near Chennai in 1998 or around that time. I was appreciating the intense song the way Shahul Hameed had song with so much passion and life - I felt sad. How unfortunate - he could have been a great singer with his high pitch and powerful voice. However, he still lives on. 10 years down the line, a soul thought about him. Isn't that wonderful. Very few can leave a mark on the world they lived - it is easy for artists - musicians, painters, singers, dancers, actors,writers. What will people like me leave behind? Anyway, Shahul Hameed - your voice is immortal. Thanks for the great song.

How to become a Java Developer?

-
Who is this post for? Anyone trying to switch careers ( I was in mainframes, asp then php developer then a swing developer before I switched to this web-app java development), or who is already in Java and wants to get to the next level. What this post is about? Few years back I was slogging on a swing app without knowing what the market was all about - though the swing app taught me the good and bad about Java - it did not help me in getting a job. This post is a guideline for that directionless soul... this.post : Heres some philosophy of mine. Ask yourself - how much did you spend last year on books on technology? If technology is your livelihood, think of it as an investment. You need to invest a lot ( and read a lot ) to get good returns. So do not hesitate to buy books, magazine subscriptions - its worth every penny/paisa/rouble. Lets start. Step 1 : Get to know Java's strength. Assuming it was me years ago, happily coding php in dreamweaver and nodding along with the posters

Who is lifting the world on their shoulders?

Who is lifting the world on their shoulders? Politicians? Philosophers? Writers? Philanthrophists? None of the above. The right answer is - entrepreneurs / business folks - they are the ones lifting the world. They create new markets, promote new ideas, blaze new paths by fighting the system, fighting stereotypes, taking risks against all odds. In this post I will introduce you to "Atlas Shrugged" - a magnum opus by Ayn Rand.  This book glorifies the entrepreneurial spirit. The key players : Looters These are the scum of the society - apparently holding top positions. The top brass in the Government, the industry lobbying heads - they do not produce anything but they loot - from the business and from the public. They know only to take and not give anything. They outnumber and control the producers. Producers The producers are the entrepreneurs, the inventors, the innovators. They are the ones fighting the system to introduce new ideas and keep the world ticking and moving for
