India and China

Off late there are many comparisons that are made between the two countries and my only concern is that can these two countries afford to be enemies or even can they afford to be friends.

People talk of partnering with china. But why would china accept our hand. For the simple reason they have a manpower which is much more hardworking and much more technically sound. There only constraint at the moment is that of the English speaking community. But the way they are growing in this field, it would be difficult to sustain and hence there would come a stage when we will have to run for our jobs. We cannot stop them from growing. But then the only option that is with us is to grow and strengthen the strong points we have.

Identifying the key strengths and weaknesses would be a good point to start off. One major weakness in our case is that we are not productive. Agreed we are hardworking, but when it comes to delivering, we fail and we fail miserably. So that is one point which we can strengthen and build upon.

Our key strength is raw manpower, make them more technically sound. The onus of this should partly be on the govt. and partly on every individual, to constantly enhance and evolve and constantly innovate.

Because one thing is for sure that whatever be the case, being good is not going to be enough in today’s era. We have to go one step further or may more than one.

It is for sure we cannot be friends and we can not be enemies either, because both of us have some points which are very strong and can turn the tide. The safe option is to go for a symbiotic relation. I do this thing for you, you do this for me. May be distribution of business based on geographical region. And what more….there can n number of arrangements.

So let’s stick to “Hindi -Chini bhai bhai” notion.

Let peace prevail……….

Rekindling the Spirit

I have decided to start afresh. The sentence has many connotations. But in short, I am starting to blog again. I missed the place. I missed my freedom of expression and above all I missed my self……my realization.

God know why I stopped and god knows why I started. Yes but I know I have started all for myself.

One inspiring force to start all fresh is one of my best frnds and this blog is all dedicated to my sweet frnd.

This frndship started on a very professional note. Hi, how r u ? and bye. That’s it and that’s all. But there was something which was more than this, which was always there in my mind, but not expressed and this connection was in the way we see things and the way we perceive and our likes and dislikes. And the way my frnd laughs when I crack a joke. There is an immediate connection felt.

That’s it to start with. This will never end.
