Next Generation Indians

I wonder why is that revolutions like Google, FB, Wikipedia all orginate from the United States...Take the list of Nobel Laurates and you can find that Majority of them are from the US..And obviously many Best Schools in the World are in US...

I always feel bad why there isn't much originating from our Country??

But we still wander saying 1 Indian equal to 2 Japanese, and we discovered Zero...But the fact of the matter is "WHAT ARE WE DOING RIGHT NOW ?? ".. We gotta find an answer to this and show who we are...

We the Next Generation Indians are really capable of changing the fortune of our Nation in terms of Economy, Technology, Education, Social Welfare etc..



So whats Holding us??..Lets go do some Work...

Age No Bar

"AGE NO BAR for Learning." - Most of us would certainly agree with it. At this point I would like mention about my Grandfather's recent interests and what's the lesson for me in it.

Few months back my grandpa who is little more than 70 years of age, informed me that he is gonna buy a second hand laptop and all he wanted from me was to teach him how to operate computers. Well initially it seemed funny to me, an old man who is over seventy and haven't used computers till then in his life , all of sudden showing inquisitiveness in learning computers. I casually said yes and eventually failed to keep up my word as I thought it would be of no use teaching him considering his age. He got kind of fed up asking me repeatedly. Few months passed away and one day, I was surprised to see a friend request from him in Orkut and Facebook. Then I came to know that he himself somehow manged to learn the basics of turning on and off the computers, use the mouse, the OS, browsers and gradually entering into Social networking sites.

Well all it took was nothing more than his interest and he proved that age no bar for anything. If a 70 over old fellow can learn something about a gadget which was completely alien to him, me at 20 can definitely achieve what I want. Thats the lesson I had learned from this.

And the funnier part comes now, yesterday I went to his house to spend some time with my relatives. There I saw a 'Java Complete reference book' which I initially misinterpreted to be mine and was wondering how my book came there. Later I came to know it was not mine and that it was his book which he had bought after coming to know there is something famous called Java. I was really surprised to see this old man, sitting with actually two laptops and wondering what was Java. Although I am very much confident this time that it would be a Mission Impossible for him to explore java, I still got to learn something from this...

PS: The book which he was having was Third Edition, while the one which I am currently using is Second Edition..LOL..and I got that paper to pass in this Semester...:P...
