The Real Story Behind Baglihar Verdict and Pakistani Reactions

The world awaited the verdict for the Baglihar Dam. Finally it was out. Andas soon as it was out, we had Pakistani reactions. They termed this their victory. Three of their proposals were considered valid by the Neutral Committee. Here was the twist,. a day later we have Indian government officials were shouting on top of their lungs that it was a WIN-WIN for all (Straight from Stefen Covey's Bad Habits). Now how is that possible. This was supposed to be a war. In a war either its Win-Lose or Lose-Lose. Not the other way round as the Indians were claiming. So said the Pak Media. Next what you heard was this. Pakistan government backs out.. Now how is that possible. Still wondering.

Heres the real story. What happened was that the Indian claims were absolutely correct in all respects. But Indians doing something good did not go down well with the Pakistan government. So you has this new problem coming up. The World Bank's Neutral Committee was formed. It was evaluating the Indian proposal and the Pakistani objects. Pakistanis having lost most of the cricket matches to India did not want defeat for one more time. So they tried to influence the people in the Committee. They almost got through this. Just in time the RAW got the wind of this operation. Indian government promptly took counter measures. They made sure that influence was ruled out. Instead of using the Paki afeem or ganja they took the Cobra Post way. They had all the scandals of the gentlemen in video. Now the only option left for those poor neutral people was to give in to India. So they did. They informed the Pakis that 3 of their important proposals were being upheld. For the rest they did not have sufficient cause. As soon as the report was out the Minister just could not control his victorious emotions and gave the press conference hailing the report as Paki victory. Probably right that was what was meant by Paki victory, defeat in the hands of Indian. Just like Mahishasura and other demons like death at the hands of some great Gods. And the Indian counterpart were laughing all the way. They carefully gave the reaction later after laughing and studying the report carefully.


All of above is the creation of my imagination. There is no similarity to people or place, living or dead. If there is any, it be considered a coincidence.

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
