Jab Do Dil Pyaar Karega

This post is about this Sindhi Group Saving Girls from Falling in love. Obviously this was the most obnoxious thing that I had heard for a long time. And there were some obvious reactions. http://www.ibnlive.com/news/sindhis-fuming-over-fatwa/38506-3.html. But things were not supposed to stop at that point. Those so called social leaders were also ready with rules for the girls. http://www.ibnlive.com/news/sindhis-set-rules-for-bhopal-girls/38392-3.html.

All that was for this http://www.ibnlive.com/news/hc-blesses-hindumuslim-couple/38339-3.html

Now this certainly created a sort of a storm of electric discharges in neurons in my brain. First of all, there was no hue and cry from well known shouters, the Muslim fatwa generators(Muslim Personal Law Board). Probably smart guy Umesh/Umar already saw it coming and converted to Hindism. But then why the hell is Bajrang Dal against it. Damn it you have one more Hindu and one less Muslim. Bloody hell what do these guys need more.

Now came the Sindhi Community. This is one community which till this day I thought was one of the most progressive community of India. Surely unlike my Marwari community. But now I feel I am in a better community. I have never heard of such horrific things.

One more thing struck me. Why the hell are the people not making rules against the boys of Sindhi community. Oh I forgot, they can do whatever they wish for sure. Anyways how will the Sindhi boys survive without the money they can get from their Dad and Dad-in-Law. Really is that so? Talibanism in India is taking roots is it? Not sure. Can anyone Enlighten me.

Even more amazing is the fact that this is nothing new in India. With heros like Prithviraj Chauhan and Salim. I think they forgot about how Lord Krishna married Rukmini. for those who have least idea look here in Wikipedia. Its not so difficult to accept this from the boys point of view. Probably thats the root of the problem. When it comes to accepting a girl who has been in love and married her love. She has to suffer. Meera bai did. I dont know how many more centuries will it take to change the Great Indian Pseudo-Hindu Attitude.

My learnings at Google

I just quit Google after almost 7½ years. When I had joined Google in 2016 I was exploring to start up with a travel planning, sharing and booking platform. But then when I got the chance to join Google I told myself that I will stay for 3-4 years and learn how Google's culture makes it build products that people love, at scale. Also, their engineering culture was something I had heard a lot about and thought this is my best chance to learn about and implement it in my startup. But then I managed to overstay at Google for various reasons.  There are various posts talking about what is wrong about Google here , here and here . But I wanted to look at its positives and I hope companies adopt it rather than a toxic culture which is brewing everywhere. Here are a few things which stood out for me (in no particular order): 1. Blameless postmortems : Blameless postmortems are a powerful tool for learning from incidents and improving system reliability. The key aspects of it are   a. Foc

Top reasons why Tata Elxsi should be blacklisted

Well that a provoking first line, but then thats exactly what I have to say about this company. Tata Elxsi should be blacklisted, but wait a minute by whom? Well the software developers fraternity. Its a blood sucking corporation which is right documented in the documentary The Corporation . Ok why am I telling this after almost one year of leaving it. Well when the fact is that I have nothing to do with it. I have already let out my personal experience here , here and here . Well it was not just me as its obvious from the comments but then it was general feeling of my friends there. Well all I can talk about is friends because I dont know how each and every employee of Tata Elxsi felt. Anyways heres one more story about the kind of harassment and employee of Tata Elxsi might have to suffer . Though I had read it earlier but am blogging now about solely because I wanted to confirm the news being true. And sadly it is true. An employee was indeed made to resign. And indeed its legally

[March 24] Interesting Things I Learnt This Week

 1. Ultrasound becoming Utra small - How MEMS technology has miniaturized ultrasound imaging. It discusses the limitations of traditional ultrasound machines. These machines are bulky and require multiple probes. MEMS technology allows for the creation of a single probe that can image the entire body. This probe is small enough to fit in a lab coat pocket.  The article also details the technical aspects of MEMS transducers. My Take : Any and all technology is bound to get cheap and miniaturized over time with progress in science and technology. Utrasound is something which can be thought of a speaker and a mic in very layman terms. These are bound to get smaller over time and be more effective. But like any other tool, this can be misused and the reason for skewed male/female ratio in India can also be attributed to ultrasound. My worry is if this tech is available more widely and portable, it will further skew the gender ratios in India(and probably a lot of other countries). This pa
