to visual studio....

I have been doing this thing called .net for only 2 weeks now and am already more than stumped...
It is as good as programming language gets....
I dont think that putting the codes and fundas will excite many of you...
but the best things are sometimes better heard than said...
So if u havent done .net yet plz plz do it... It is too good not to be known!

Now this is geeky and all.. but still I think that i know what objects are! i guess u must have heard OOP for sometime now.. I have been for more than 10 yrs now.. but only last week realised how powerful it was and why there's been this hype abt it for so many years..

After Visual studio, i am a bigger Microsoft fan :)

The Indian era.....

India poised is only a recent thing that many of us have realised through a campaign of ads on print and TV... The fact that India was 'poised' is known and is being observed for more than 3-4 yrs now.. Things are more than visible..

This post is both for the optimists and the pessimists.. I happen to be a big optimist about the future of the India story.... (though i have to agree that the journey to success will be rather long and tough one..

The way the Indian companies have grown is well documented.. We are already the largest and the best in many fields.. when i say many, it does not stand for outsourcing.. It stands for everything that you could think of...

From satellites to cars... from axles to aircraft maintenance.. from CD to Nuclear power plants... from wind energy to pharma.... There are arguments about the quality and all of the indian products.. but then who manufactures all the high quality "GAP" & "UCB" shirt that people wear in the name of quality?
It is the Indian companies... who manufactures the high quality CD's and DVD's labelled as SONY etc...

The Tata Corus deal is more than well publicised.. thanks to the media.. But then there are a lot more deals than just this one.. The foreign investments by the indian companies now exceed the FDI in India! 15 yrs back when the country took to globalisation, there were open opposition and lobbying by the indian corporates... no more.. today reliance and bharti and tatas welcome foreign companies with open arms to take up the challange... The this in itself is a testimony to the confidence and the maturity of the Indian corporates....

There are a lot of articles.. research papers on the net that speak in a similar tone.. but then this post is specially for those who are full time pessimists... if u happen to be one.. then buddy u need to be more neutral first.. dont try to argument that the world is as bad as it was for India.. atleast accept that somethings are better indeed... then may be a couple of years from now.. who knows...

BTW pls see this india poised video..
