Surya Prakash Jayanti

Hope everybody is doing well with their deeds. I guess this would be my last blog of the year. I don't want to write about what I gained or what I lost in 2010. I don't either want to talk about 2011. But I can tell you I am short of my goals. Take a break, chill out, life is long. OK, thank you all for reading through my blogs. I will try to spend more time at blogging next year. Next year I will have some surprise (its all about blogging) for my readers. I am working on it, but no results yet. Lets hope things workout my way and I will continue enjoying blogging. Happy New Year 2011 to my lovely readers !!!

Somethings are not for sale. Believe me, thats true. Groupon said NO to Google $6 Billion deal. Yahoo said NO to Microsoft double the current value of Yahoo offer. So my friend what I want to say is, somethings are not for sale. You can not turn down the aspirations of people. Just you have the power doesn't mean, I have to obey - Famous quote, doesn't remember the author. If you are working for your aspirations and passion, you will be satisfied even if you are a failure. There is a dialog in a Hindi Movie - 3 Idiots. Madhavan (actor)  tells his father. If you want me to become Engineer I might become 3rd grade Engineer. If you let me do Photography which I am interested, I will be at least 2nd grade photographer with satisfaction. Most of the startups I read about they have a sale figure in mind. They start with selling price as destination. Some they tend to become the companies people respect for ever. It all depends on people around you in the board as well. So As fa

Two things that are going to be there in 2011 are Cloud and Social Network. Any blog I write on these two things I fully enjoy. Having social presence is important these days as more business offers and identifications are happening basing on social network potential you have. Palm hotel in Lasvegas takes into count your KLOUT score to provide you extra facilities so that you can influence others in your network to go to this hotel. Recently McDonald's offered discount for all Four Square users checking into McDonald's. I can see the trend growing. Next year we are going to see some more innovative things basing on Location based services and Social Networks. I was reading through some factoids on what makes you social expert. There are some parameters for this. 1. Your Google presence. Search on your name like "Surya Prakash Jayanti". 2. Your Twitter Followers. 90% of your followers are authentic. Remaining 10% will be spam. 2000 followers will qualify you for e

Does  Antilia need introduction ? Well, as you know this is the new home of Mr. Mukesh Ambani in  Altamount Road,  Mumbai, India (Google out for Zip code). The $27 Billion richest person  constructing a house worth $1 Billion over several years. Some facts... 27 Floors in the sky 6 levels car parking 3 helipads on the roof  9 elevators,  SPA 50 seat theater Grand ball room BMW Service center (Rumor) 100's of servants and staff expected to work inside. Around 20 Million people live in Mumbai, roughly 62% of population live in slums... Around 15% exports in India are from Ambani group. House warming party on Nov 28th with 200 guests (I didn't get the invite) An article published on this house in NYTimes on 29th OCT 2010 edition. Last but not least.....A family of 5 people going to live in it... I don't know he brought proud to India or he is clearly showing up the difference between rich and poor in India. Whatever its good candidate for 8th wonder.

As you all know Twitter is microblogging and real time information system. I just looked at the video of new twitter avatar, its looking cool guys. You need NOT go to separate link to watch video or to see pictures. Here are some fascinating facts about Twitter. 16% of new users are starting on mobile. There are on average 370,000 new sign ups a day overall. 90% of the information on Twitter is public. 90 million tweets a day About 25% of tweets contain links New rollout is launching worldwide. But it will be an incremental roll out before everyone gets. 160 Million Users currently All the best for the new Twitter.com. I am eagerly waiting to see the updated twitter look. By the way am I going to miss "Fail Whale" / "Blue Whale" ? Love you Twitter... Disclaimer : Twitter can make you loose your job. If you have doubts check with Lalit Modi (ex-IPL chairman) / Shashi Tharoor. Author is not responsible for the side effects :-)

"Stay Hungry and Stay Foolish", told by Steve Jobs in a graduation ceremony. Indians and Chinese have the edge over the world because they are not just another fat ass in the world. Excuse my language. They can work their way off. This was the edge for India. Now its loosing its edge slowly. The new generations aren't hard working any more. Now a days generations have enough deviations so that they can not concentrate on success. It was not the case earlier. They can work for hours together for their success. Now they are lazy, they don't want to do the hard work. They are talking about something called life, which equates to less money and more life. On the other hand Chinese generations still fall under the category of stay hungry and work your way off. In the field of Software they have their Average work hours some where between 12-15. In India it is somewhere between 9-10. More and more companies are moving to China as the language barrier is getting closed.

Recently I have seen so many acquisitions from Google. It invested nearly $500M in social acquisitions. It bought Slide, Jambool for $200 Milliion and invested around $100 Million in Zynga. Since they are planning to grow is Social and it is the hot market. They started acquiring whatever they can in Social arena. Similar the case with Amazon, they bought Woot. They want to grow in online marketing division so they are doing the acquisitions. I rarely saw any acquisition in Indian IT companies. When some one posed this question to Infosys, they said they are looking for the right fit. I am surprised they haven't got the right fit in last couple of years. There are many concept companies which can add value to their business. At least they can think of consulting or Integration or small product oriented companies. They have huge pile of cash. I don't know if the company top bosses feel it safe to have their company reserves in bank rather than spending on acquisitions. It wi

Because of people who don't know how to hold an iPhone (their phones are smart, but they are not) properly, Steve Jobs has to cancel his vacation in Hawaii :-) OH BOY !!! Well when the whole world is hyping on his iPhone he was blushing, now they are talking about its antenna he is cursing. Well you know Steve, its part of game. From the beginning apple is famous for its designs and appeal, of course then performance. we can give benefit of doubt to Apple. Some how I feel Apple is over aggressive (we might call it arrogance). This is the kind of jolt I am expecting for Apple. Though I am fan of Microsoft, I respect Apple products. But its hard to bear arrogance, though we have lot of respect for its products. You tried to prove the whole world has that antenna problem is a problem for all. But it is evident and bigger in iPhone 4. Remember your products were given more hype, so obviously they attack more if there is something wrong. Accept the defect and convey politely that

This story is about a Triangle love Story of Social Networking, Employee and Employer. As you all can understand from Twitter, Facebook, Linked-in, Foursquare etc., employees are in love with Social Networking. Of course, Social Networking is also getting benefits from employee updates. So its two way love. Then where is the problem? The problem is with girls parents always, that is employer in this case. As parents try to control their children, Organization want to have control on employee updates into Social Networking. All big companies like Microsoft, Yahoo, Google and Apple are having the Social Networking policies in place already. Do you know all Hollywood stars contracts have Social networking clause ? yes they are NOT supposed to leak anything about the movie in their social networks. So now these controls are coming to Consulting and offshore based firms. Recently NASSCOM asked Infosys to come up with Social Networking policies. Now Infosys is ready with that weapon, I m

This is a topic about which you can write pages and pages. The famous four social networking sites are Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter and Orkut. Believe me this is the order of popularity. Can you believe even though there is so much hype for micro blogging sites like Twitter, still the blogs rule the content world. Location based social networking like Yelp and Foursquare are also picking up very quickly. I have been using them, they are very useful. Future of Social Networking will be Micro blogging, Connections, Location based sharing. As you know Social Networking can speak on behalf of you and make your brand name. People with similar interests will start coming together. Recently I came to know CFO of Oracle was recruited through his Linked in Contact. All the Fortune 500 companies executives are there in Linked-in. Social networking became the basis of Judgement also. Some court cases in US started taking the comments on Facebook as basis for judgement. No second thought, So

On May 6th Special Court of Mumbai is giving "Justice" on 26/11 Mumbai attack case. Lets see the highlights of the justice... Total cost of the justice is Rs 100 Cr (Approx) Kasab, who is guilty is protected by 200 Indo-Tibetan Special Force. 166 People killed in the attack They created separate under ground route between court and jail for his travel. As everybody can expect he is going to get Death Penalty in this court. In 1993 Mumbai serial blasts verdict came just after 13 years. Comparatively this judgement is faster. His trainers just spent lakhs and trained him, we paid in Crores and 166 life's. Do you think we won the battle ? Kasab, can still go to High Court and Supreme Court. I cant imagine how many years it will take before he gets punishment. In fact the person who attacked on parliament is still waiting for his turn of death penalty. So Kasab you are just 22 and you are in queue, don't worry. You are assured of long life in India. Who knows

I cordially invite you all for my marriage in Hyderabad on 1st of April. http://www.mywedding.com/sowmyasurya

Special series of Counter – Encounter for women’s day…   Does a woman like Six Pack guy or Bulky Valet guy? Both if possible.   Does a man like Beauty girl or Brainee girl? First one is dream; second one just exists in imagination.   Do you like women? I enjoy women.   Why do you write so much on women? It’s never ending topic. They never stop talking; you can’t stop talking about them.   Define baby, Teen girl and Women in programming language. Baby is integer variable. Teen girl is like string variable. A woman is complex variable.   What do you love about women? Hate   What do you hate about women? Love   Behind every successful man there is a woman. I agree they are always behind successful man.   Can’t you write a single word positively about women? I like beautiful women in bed, is that considered positive statement.   Without women world doesn’t exist, do you know that? Ok, then try to create world without men. All the best.

I'm not an expert to write comments on budget. But let me write what I felt. In the last 5 years we increased our defense budget by 70%. Our agricultural land fertility rate coming down to 30%. We achieved full agriculture independence in 70s with green revolution. Now India has fertility rate less than their neighbors like pak, srilanka,Bangladesh. Price of necessary goods incresed by 20% in the last 1 year in India. We need to concentrate on our basic requirements. One country (I don't want to name) is selling arms to us and as well as our rival country. They are looking at us like a buyer. In fact they are funding our enemies to force us buy more from them. We need to have strong plan to counter these techniques. Self sufficiency is key to our success. Hey world here we are coming , take our way or highway.

Hi guys, this blogPost is so special, because I am blogging from iPhone. Trying To use technology. Not getting much time to blog these days, let's see how far I can pull this. Still experimenting with my new iphone. Believe me new girl and new gadget are always exciting. What the hell you are waiting for , wish me best of luck.

Its pretty interesting if you observe the Microsoft business operation model. As you know product companies business operation model is different from Service companies. I am familiar with business structure of Service companies. Here is my research on one of the worlds best technology product based company Microsoft. Their business is mainly divided into 5 core groups. 1. Client : This is about windows operating system. If I am not wrong, this one along with MS office is 50% of Microsoft revenue. Its dominant in Client OS market till date. Chrome OS, Mac OS , Linux might be some of its competitors. 2. Server and Tools : This is one of such businesses in Microsoft which is growing in double digit from last couple of years. This business includes Windows server OS, SQL Server, Visual Studio and other server related tools. Any one working in Dotnet would dream of going into this business in Microsoft. Bob Muliga is the head of this unit. Needless to say I dreamed and failed. 3.

There is a controversy over Pak players not being taken by any IPL teams in the auction. There is one film star & business man & Kolkata Night Riders owner started batting for Pakistani players. Lets listen his side of the argument. He says, any player can come and play as it is a game. He claims thats what was told in schools and thats what we are teaching our children. Well, completely agreed Mr Sharukh, but not in the current scenario. There is no trust between India and Pakistan now. No cooperation from Pakistan in stopping Terrorism against India. They are fighting International terrorism with US , but giving a deaf ear against Terrorism in India. There is huge encouragement within Pakistan against India. IPL is series sponsored by Indian business man and earns most of its money from Media, Advertisement and other sponsorships from India. If they decided to boy-cot Pakistani Players, respect their decision. If I am a business man, I don't want to pay millions of

Well ...Well ... Well ... This is not about two Girls Padma and Ratna. This is about the awards govt of India gives to people excelled in their fields. Off late these awards became politically influenced. These awards became a tool to make people happy, whom they like. The standards of the awards definitely came down by giving it to people involved in scams and without proper background check. There are some folks who got all the three padma awards (Padma Shree, Padma Bhusan, Padma Vibhushan). Our beloved Bachan family got 3 Padmas (Amitabh, Jaya, Aishwarya) in their home, Only missing is Abhishek. I am sure he will also get it soon. During one of the years 90% of the Padma awards were given to the states of ruling party. In one occasion they gave Padma award to Kashmir blankets business person under category of Arts. We all know the case of NRI scam involved guy getting a padma award. They are categorizing basing on state, caste and political reasons. It was supposed to categorize

I just watched both versions of "Mile Sur Mera Tumhara". First one is created for 1988 Independence day and the second one is created in 2010, Republic day. As you all know people didn't receive the new version well. There is lot of criticism about the new version rather I say filmy version. Both the versions directed by same guy  kailash Surendranath. You can check both the versions out here Old one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gstRrEmTcBc New one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mbBloTAvPE Old song plays for little over 5 mins, new one plays for neary 16 minutes. Apart from this some notable differences I found are as below. In the new song except for 1 minute remaining 15 minutes its about film stars. In the old song its about people , sports persons and film stars. In the new one its all about film stars and then a little about important things. The new song focusing on film industry and their styles for most of the time. You can see Sharukh filmy s
