What is the formula of success?

Image
    The motivation for writing this article is Fort Minor’s song “ Remember the name ”. Is there any composition of attributes /skills/qualities that are required to become successful? If we assume that if people remember your name, it means you are successful, then according to that song they have said following compositions will work fine: “Ten percent luck, Twenty percent skill, Fifteen percent concentrated power of will, five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain, and a hundred percent reason to remember the name” Do you agree with those compositions? Or do you have a different composition according to you? Anyways, let us forget about the song and we should focus on our main discussion that what is the recipe of being successful. Even if we want to make a cup of tea, which is considered to be the simplest item to be cooked after the ban on Maggi in India, we need to have a proper mix of ingredients of tea. Similarly is there any recipe for being successful?...

In praise of MSD, the best finisher in cricket history

Image
Whenever I have too much to do in the last hours, it reminds me of one person. Guess who? Mahendra Singh Dhoni. I have not witnessed such an exceptional player in pressure situations. I like him so much that I pasted his image on my wall ( the same image I have used in this blog).  Look at the calmness on his face. Such a calm face in tough situations!  In nerve-wracking situations, I used to look at this image and calm myself down. On several occasions, this image works as a motivation for me to perform well in the last hours. Trust me, I have won in almost all of those occasions. There is no doubt Dhoni is the most successful finisher in the history of cricket.  Among all the last over chases, I like the chase of 23 runs in an IPL game most. If you can chase 23 runs in one over, that too with two dot balls in first four balls, isn't it some kind of miracle?

Amazon launches palm scanners for 'secure' payments: can we trust this system?

Image
Today news is being circulated that Amazon is launching  "Palm scanners" for secure transactions. Can we trust this transaction system? Probably NO. Because data breaches are too common nowadays and the impact of misuse of this particular system is huge.                       Recently one night at 2 AM,  I and one of my friends were planning to have a cup of coffee so that we can wake up till morning and finish some work. While the milk was boiling, we thought of watching a video on YouTube. Our eyes popped out of our heads after watching the very first advertisement. Seeing Ad was not a problem for us, we were surprised why YouTube's recommender system gives an Ad about coffee even before the coffee was prepared. I never searched about "Coffee" in any of my devices for at least 15 days prior to this event. The only way YouTube could get this information if some app on mobile was recording my voice (obviously, w...
