Confused about the Future


Have you ever given a thought about what the current politico economic scenario in the world could do to the future of the young students today. The greatest challenge to the students more that to excel in the studies is also to choose thier path correctly so that 4 years later or 5 years later they do not feel that they chose the wrong direction. Its a great pressure mounting within the minds of those who are in that stage of their studies which would determine thier career. The current recession which is the outcome of the Economic crisis is doing more invisible loss.

Having completed my education 10 years before I really feel relieved. I did have a option to decide depending upon the job scenrio then to choose computers as the field of oppurtunies then. I just was wondering what course would I choose if I had to do it now ? A tough question to answer indeed.

Assuming that someone is somewhere in the last two years of his schooling. What direction would one choose. 
  • Would a Bachealors in  Engineering ensure me a job.
  • Should I be opting to do an MBBS.
  • Could a MBA assure me of a bright future.
  • ....
Those are very few of the thousands of question that might arise in the mind.  

There was a time when government job was liked by all then came the computer era and people found more money in a private sector than in government jobs.  Bridegroom who where working in computer related jobs, working abroad where most sought off. But with the current uncertinity its again the government jobs are preferred due to the stability that it provides.

I am sure Career counsellors too would not be able to provide the right guidance in such a market.

(I'll be glad if you could pen your thoughts regarding this post in the comment section..)

Google Wave

Finally after the long wait got the invitation from google and now have my account setup. With some initial roadblocks of not knowing what to do and how to just as if an infant would learn to walk with its first few steps... As a few of us might already know right now the wave is only open as a developer preview and Google actually aims to have this coming up late this year. But in order to try out your developing skills with the Google Wave you need to have a sandbox account too... (Am glad that I was able to request for and was granted too soon... ) With a little bit of tremble I was able to create my first Google Wave Robot as it is called (If you have a wave account try adding my application by including vtrravikumar@appspot.com) This is a friendly bot that would greet as soon as anyone joins the wave. There are gadgets that could be developed and have seen few useful ones already there like the one which uses the map API.. It was also good to see lots of people already started dis...

Better late than Never

           Apocalypse that is to finish off the earth by 21/12/2012 comes at a very short notice that leaves us with little chance for some great plans but I would say its “ Better late than Never ” We all would agree that life is already screwed up beyond the chance of any revival and instead of turning our face away or ignoring all the warnings why not accept it and think about some positive things that could be done. I am not going to give the details on how The world is going to end or numerous signs that point to sure end by 2012 but rather would like provoke your thoughts on how we can plan to approach the inevitable Apocalypse and live life. Planning for an apocalypse can be something new to all of us and since we may not know what may come and what we need to face it would be touch to plan something so instead of starting with how to survive an apocalypse lets start with an simpler task of how to spend our time worthwhile...

Top 10 Cloud Vendors

I came across this blog post by Peter Laird ( Blog link ) which I found to be an interesting way to rank the cloud vendors but since this list had been prepared almost 2 years before, I decided to give it a shot now to see how the ranking had changed over time. Based on the methodology used by Peter I did the following : Cleared all browser cookies Ensured I was logged out of Google (to avoid personalized results ) Navigated to the www.google.com search page Typed “cloud computing” in the search box However unlike Peter I did not browse through all the pages but restricted my ranking until I found 10 vendors. The result is as follows. From the search results scrubbed off all non vendors and then collected the first occurrence of each of the following vendors. Page Rank Vendor URL 1 1 Salesforce http://www.salesforce.com...
