India – on 63rd Independence day!

Some time ago, my nephew came from USA. He is a 3 rd grade student there. May be 8 years old. We had a chat which started with his plans of visits in India.

Somedays later when i was chatting with him, i asked him about the places he visited…he said that his uncle took him to Mettur Dam, Ooty, Blackthunder etc… I was asking him whether he saw crocodiles in Mettur? he said yeah!!!

Suddenly i asked him the difference between Crocodile and an Aligator…he thought for few seconds and anwered.

now…This is his turn for questioning me…The first question is “Do you know the difference between Cow and Duck?” lol…I didn’t know what to answer and i said i dont know! he asked me to come to USA and he said he will tell the answer there…i said after 3 years i will come there

Now the answer comes…After 10 years, India will be better than America so come now so that you can spend sometime there before USA going down…

He is a US born Indian and i never expected this answer from him…

On this 63rd Independence day…for the people from India who are reading this post…i wish to say “Happy Independence Day” and however and whatever may be…let us not forget the sacrifices made by our late freedom fighters…who made us to realize a dream and witnessing it coming true before eyes…it is not too late and it will not be too…

Let’s celebrate our independence day atleast through “Freedom of speech and freedom of writing” which many countries doesnot have even now….

For past three days…

I have been to Capgemini discussion…for re-badging offer…

I went there without knowing what a re-badging really meant! even funnier was i had an hour discussion with the Regional Delivery Manager and another person probably equal to his rank…

One thing i was pretty clear was that they are not going to give a hike…so i said i didn’t expect that as though i am contended with that…

Few other questions i asked was …

Why they laid off?
Whether any opportunities available there?

—will be continuing in next post…

Google co-Founder’s blog post on Late Rajeev Motwani

Remembering Rajeev

from too by Sergey Brin

It has been a long time since I have updated this blog. In fact, I have been doing some research for what I thought would be my next post.

Unfortunately, life does not always give you the luxury to plan what may be close to your heart next. It is with great sadness that I write about the passing of my teacher and good friend Professor Rajeev Motwani. But I would rather not dwell on the sorrow of his death and instead celebrate his life.

Officially, Rajeev was not my advisor, and yet he played just as big a role in my research, education, and professional development. In addition to being a brilliant computer scientist, Rajeev was a very kind and amicable person and his door was always open. No matter what was going on with my life or work, I could always stop by his office for an interesting conversation and a friendly smile.

When my interest turned to data mining, Rajeev helped to coordinate a regular meeting group on the subject. Even though I was just one of hundreds of graduate students in the department, he always made the time and effort to help. Later, when Larry and I began to work together on the research that would lead to Google, Rajeev was there to support us and guide us through challenges, both technical and organizational.

Eventually, as Google emerged from Stanford, Rajeev remained a friend and advisor as he has with many people and startups since. Of all the faculty at Stanford, it is with Rajeev that I have stayed the closest and I will miss him dearly. Yet his legacy and personality live on in the students, projects, and companies he has touched. Today, whenever you use a piece of technology, there is a good chance a little bit of Rajeev Motwani is behind it.

For Googlers…

I am always curious about the growth of the search giant…the way its founders shaped the company, the way they treat and offer their employees…

Sometime back i came to visit the google’s cofounder’s personal blog
