Globalization

When I was growing up in developing India, my Dad always use to say , there would be a day when people would snatch food from you and how true that has turned out to be ... India is the backoffice of the world today and there is a huge talent pool but are we empowering the people below the middle class?People still dont have resources to move up to middle class.Why?? ... We need to do some introspection and realize that we look at all the metropolitian cities and think that we have come a long way and world realizes india's potential but what about 90% of india's population which is under-empowered. Efforts are being made bt NGO who are working at the grass root level but the effort needs to be done at the local government level.Education, healtcare,transportation...
I always believed and still believe India is a self sufficient country but where is india's self sufficience taking us ...we are consuming more power, more energy ...need is growing. Indian political system is still corrupt and need of the time is to strive for the system where common man is not struggling under corrupt polititians, need of the hour is for young blood to take charge in the political realm.
Empowerment has to come at the grass root level and requires sustained empowerment....Education for everyone should be must...Every effort has to be made to educate the future of India.
I dont any logic behind some people believing in the state of uttar pradesh in India that "polio drops" contains something which will sterile their young ones. How rediculous?? If this goes on , this disease is going to make a comeback before its relaized....
Think about going forward and not going backwards....

India's Partition? WHY?????


Do we want to see India's partition again. I still remember the mandal days , I was in 10 grade when we all participated in he demonstrations to protest the Quota system for SC/ST's. I ask WHY????? Why do we have to have a quota system , on what basis .....is on the mere basis of social uplifment of the so called backward classes or for the benefit of the vote bank. Why cant we provide scholarships,aid etc to the backward class students rather then reserving seats for them by default without any merit. I remember when I was competing for a place at Delhi College of engineering , I scored 330 out of 720 and I was offered Civil Engineering and that too after being waitlisted, on the other hand somebody who scored 10 out of 720 and was a ST got place in electronics stream, I ask is it fair !!!!, is this justice!!!. Just cos I was not SC/ST/OBC I did not deserve to be there. It so unfair.
In this highly competitive world where things change everywhere we have still not gotten freedom even after more than 50 years , mentally we are still stuck with the quota system.
I sincerely support the students and doctors who are on strike cos somebody needs to raise a voice, somebody needs to take action.
I dont have anything against SC/ST/OBC's , if they are socially downtrodden, give them aid,scholarships but let them compete with other fellow citizens of the free India.

What is Phishing and Pharming?

Phishing attacks use both social engineering and technical subterfuge to steal consumers' personal identity data and financial account credentials. Social-engineering schemes use 'spoofed' e-mails to lead consumers to counterfeit websites designed to trick recipients into divulging financial data such as credit card numbers, account usernames, passwords and social security numbers. Hijacking brand names of banks, e-retailers and credit card companies, phishers often convince recipients to respond. Technical subterfuge schemes plant crimeware onto PCs to steal credentials directly, often using Trojan keylogger spyware. Pharming crimeware misdirects users to fraudulent sites or proxy servers, typically through DNS hijacking or poisoning.

Rang De Basanti ( Paint it Yellow)

Rang de Basanti - what an awesome movie, very thought provoking, It has a very strong message for todays young Indian generation. Change can happen but we as the youth of today need to take the first step for the revoltuion to start.
Indian youth wants change , change from corruption. I think with largest young generation in the world, India would lead the way.
