Jal, Jameen aur Japan

Basically the meaning of the title of the post is 'water, land and Japan'. Actually the title represents the kind of crisis occurred in Japan few days back in the form of Tsunami (Water) and earth-quack (Land) and after that the form of Japan. First of all I would like to pay my homage to the people who unfortunately been a prey of this catastrophe. May their soul remain in peace.

Well in recent time there have been lots of happenings such as Egypt freedom, Libya crisis and now this natural calamity. We know Japan not only because of America's nuclear attack at the time of world war-II but Japan is the kind of country which teaches us lots of important things which sometimes we lack. Sometimes I am so astonish that how this low populated country abled to manage itself after world war-II destruction. Just few million people stand up with in 6-7 years on their feet and challenged world as the third largest economy of the world. This time the total population of Japan is just 127 million far lower than other countries. These facts certainly astonish anyone. When I read about this, I came to know that there was a study to know what propelled Japan growth so fast and results were really amazing.

What study told is that the working philosophy of Japan and other countries is far different. It's this philosophy that stimulate the growth so fast. This philosophy includes-

1. Zero Defect Japanese believes in zero defect policy in their product which raised the bar of reliability of their products up. We have so many examples in our day to day life too, such as in electronics media Sony has still no competitor if we talk about Indian market.

2. Just In Time This is a management term I read somewhere which Japanese follow in their work. JIT policy restricts them to procrastinate the work. They understand the value of time so as the preparation of their product.

3. Kaizen This is another management term which means 'continue process management'. This policy tends them to work continuously for betterment of the product, to improve the employee management for increasing the work efficiency.

4. Total Quality Management In businesses, this term is frequently used and thus Japanese work on this strictly. This philosophy says to work continuously to improve the quality of the product. This is complete customer satisfaction philosophy of working.

Besides these few policies points Japanese has a vast lexicon of management skills which certainly useful for a user who wants to learn how to work exactly and efficiently, such as Japanese has a value of their employee even at the age of physically non working. There is a Life time employment philosophy which cares their employees at every age.
One most important and personally I feel great, policy is that Japanese don't have hierarchies at their workspaces. That means the status of a fourth grade employee is equal to a first class employee. Which makes them continuously focus on their work rather than their position. If in any case it's there then it's not that rigid that in other countries of world is.

So these are few points I feel to share with you about this mammoth economy, about which we just talk but in actual sense it's something to be felt. Every country has its own work philosophy but it becomes interesting when you have a deep thought and study over that philosophy by others that's what Japanese has.

I salute the spirit !!

In my concluding notes I'll pray to almighty for Japan and its people.

Cheers !!

Understand your itch

Great ideas come up from your itch.

It's well said that you have to scratch your own itch self. But what this itch actually is ? Is it natural or due to any itch powder, you have to understand before scratching it. I am surrounded by some geeks who have tremendous ideas. They know very well how to work and what to work. I must say they don't have the word 'compromise' in their dictionaries. I have learnt this nice sentence from them 'Scratch your own itch'. It's rightly said and I think most of the startups are also based on the same theory.

I have a problem, I want to get it solve, in-spite of wandering here and there keeping problem on palm let me solve it and that's what scratching own itch means. We are living in a fast and furious world and that's the biggest problem around. You don't have any other option instead of being fast and furious. Neither others have time to time to take a look at your problems nor you should have to show them. It's not about surviving because if it were how can freelancing be so successful. We don't have all the fingers of equal length in our hands so as we are. We all have our own thinking, own way of working and interpreting the problem. Suppose what happens if your thumb pretends like your little finger or your middle finger as your index finger. The situation seems little terrible.

To have an itch is a nice thing but to understand the nature of that itch is most important. You are living in a community surrounded by some extra-ordinary geeks. You are living there not because you want to but because your parents work there. The geek environment is their need. You see your friends coming up with some fabulous ideas with full of adventure and innovation, but you can't think like those, because you are different. You are baffled, because you are not praised by anyone like your friends are praised. Now you start continuously thinking. You want an idea to come into your mind which you can say is your itch, and finally you get an idea which some how is a skewed form of an existing one and you say it your itch. You start working on it, enter into market but you realize your mistake when you are kicked out of there.

I think this is not a natural itch, this seems like you are powdered by someone and you interpret it as your own itch. You were actually prey of your own. You tried to be someone that you are not. That is how I feel sometimes when people start doing what they are not meant for. I think compromise can a well suited word for them. They 'compromised' with them. An itch never generates on the body of those who compromise in fact they tend to scratch others itch. So better be what you are and try to understand the nature of your itch.

You seems like itchy ... just share it :-)


Cheers !!

Brand ... What does it means to you ?

The True Opportunity

Hello friends,

Here is a new post at my business blog 'The True Opportunity'
Enjoy !!

Social media, worth loving

'Social' the word is so tightly fastened to us from the very primitive age that in my view this is most oldest thing we are carrying with us till now.
The meanings of the word are different for everyone that i wonder how firmly one can define 'social' word so easily at wikipedia. But I hope those are the writers own thoughts not a rigid fact.
For me social media is like a coin whose at one side you have information regarding the value of the coin on the other side it's who, about whom everyone has their own views some bad some morose. At the value side you have some rigid facts you can never deny those, on the other hand you are free to put your own thoughts regarding information actually it varies.

Social-ness comes out from our socialities, now it's up to us how we define our socialities. One of my friends who is an art student loves surrounded by drawings, sculptures and all those amorphous things which even don't have any sense for me. He rarely likes social gatherings and noise. It's his sociality.
On the other hand my room-mate for whom a day without a social gathering just like a waste. No age limits, no friend circle barrier matters him. Facebook and twitter like social pubs are the vital part of his life.
For my uncle who is a businessman every social gathering are where you have a chance to discuss about your plans, your business, your work no more than it.
and so on. These are few examples in my life where I see how people define their social life according to them but one thing I like most is, there is no place for religion in their social life at all. So as the social media. As the economy revolutionizing, world changing so swiftly, technology changing it's side social media emerging like a super start.what used to build brands and business once is not what builds them now.

One can certainly wonder how it's happening at lightning speed, I think it's because you don’t have to choose sides, social media is not a 'Religion'. Everyday alternate day I find myself with a new startup advocating it to be something different from the recent ones, with a bright idea, molded into a social jar which will serve its users full comfort with lots of apps icing on the cake but I would simply say I love this non religionist. We already have a very vast lend for religion, cast, gender, colour altercation, but this digital world is not that vast. Keep it noise free. We certainly have much more reasons to love this social media but as I said it's not a rigid fact, this is the reason why I love social media.

You say what makes YOU love 'Social Media'.

Cheers !!

Bits and Bites

A last post at the last hour of the last day of the year. it feels really amazing doing things at the last moment. It most of the time thrills a lot, blood in veins run as if blood corporals are racing each other, 'a feel'.

Through out the year hundreds of good, bad or worst things happen, but at last day forgetting all those bad memories we just wish the upcoming year to be best. We repeats most of the things we had done last year at the same moment. We take resolution, we wish our dear-ones, we start things with a new zeal but we forget we had done the same things last year, but I think that's the most interesting behaviour which shows we are social animals. We can't leave to be social anyhow.
Well that is something random clicked in my mind about humans, now it's time for me.

It's very difficult to summarise even in brief how was your departing year, and really even I don't want to do it too, but still there are some confession,some cheerful and some morose moments I experienced through the year I'd like to share with you.

Life is all about ambition and a student is full of the virtue in my point of view. The ambition to do something at my own, the ambition to stand along not alone. Same in my case, days passed and itch increased fortunately found someone to go along and build something.
Yeah I do confess it was my mistake taking my ambition with light hands and unfortunately it remained unknown.
Learnings : New things to learn, a lesson, how to work and lots more.

Life never ends at you only. You have some relations, without talking about them, you are incomplete. Yeah I was fail at first attempt but some of my nice friends were really doing great. Crossing milestone going ahead.
Again I do confess it was not a ill feel but a strong fire like situation from inside, why not me ?
Learning : You make your destiny at your own. World never wait for you and neither you should.

Found really great things to be learnt, sometime amazing feeling with work, telling about yourself and of-course listening about others. One most important thing I would like to mention is the changes I feel inside me with respect to past year. I stated interpreting things in reality, I start analysing the facts, I start feeling the things, about which I was unaware previously. But still this 'I' is not complete, a great hard work is still waiting for me.
Some true, some false, some bit, some bite, sometimes '1' another time '0' that's life only. We always tries to make it true, always to be '1'.

Now summing up this post, as a social animal, being an ordinary person I wish you a very Happy New Year. May God grant your reasonable wishes :P

Cheers !!

Didn't know to don't know

Life is all about you can never predict the next moment. You are just made to say "I just didn't know it will happen to me." We think about future in present and about past in future. Somewhere this is worth doing so otherwise it's really hard survive in this world. From the very first day we learn to stand on our feet or I should rather say we learn how to speak or write, we are said to tell about our future plans.

I remember one instance of my childhood when I was asked the same question by my school teacher. perhaps that time I even didn't know what actually she meant by 'future', but as I said till that time I knew how to speak so anyhow I managed to answer her question and told her my next weekend plans. she just passed me a smile. I too. :)

It actually happens lots of time with us too. We generally tend to ask our younger relatives the same question, sometime we surprise them asking this sort of question and mostly they, answering us about their 'future plans'. Really rightly said future is unpredictable.
Childhood is all about inventions. We do some sorts of inventions and when we find a sophisticate working on the same principle we made by paper or other household thing we reach to the apex where we feel us from another universe and here we start weaving our future.

This never changes by the age what change is the method of working. This time first we investigate then invent so that we can save our time. But it's not thumb rule when you work for finding loop holes. One most common phrase 'Oh I didn't know it exist' changes to 'I don't know whether it will exist or not'. But I don't think there is any problem with both the phrases because both the phrases are made after work and that's commendable. It's a beautiful journey we enjoyed working on our ideas, our thoughts learned by our mistakes by others mistake. What matters is your work, your efforts that will certainly pay you.
I am still enjoying this journey, tasting the sea food at each island I am crossing.
Hope I'll see the land soon. :)

Cheers !!
