I like this idea. You listen to what you like and then some more …

Like a song, mark it. Over a given period of time the software is able to provide enough good suggestion that we have an online radio which plays what I really like.

Over the last few weeks only few songs I really hated. And enough time I stopped to see who is playing. Really kewl

I have been planning to start things all over again, following on the King Solomon’s spider footstep

A personal website by the Kamat family but contains intresting view of India.

http://www.foodbuzz.biz/
It’s has created a buzz in and around the area where my family lives and no surprises why.

I like Vaishali’s(the woman running the show) approach. I am not sure if she heard of the cluetrain manifesto, but it is heartning to see people here in Bangalore are also thinking on the same line.

She has got one thing right. Users are important. Listen to them dammit!

Go read her blog

I guess she might grow into an indian version of gapingvoid or even creating passionate users!

Can I recommend her? Un-fortunately she does not cover the area I live in. Will try her out next time I go visiting my family.

Thx to my bro for this link.

Look around you, what do you feel is the most common emotion in people?

Fear.

Fear is one of the prevalent feeling around us.

Fear of failure.

Fear of rejection.

Fear of being left behind.

Name it, and every action of modern people does have a sense of fear behind it.

A great lesson to be yet learned by people of India.
Un-fortunate, but people of India seem to have either dietified him (Mahatma, 8th avatar of Vishnu, etc …)
or deride him and his non-violence movement as a weak man’s reaction to oppression.

Just y’day a relation of mine said he did not support Gandhiji’s values on non-violence as that was a weak persons reaction. Strength has to be answered with strength.

A 55 year old man still does not understand that non-violence is a position of strength! I was appalled.
What did Gandhiji teach? What lessons did he leave behind? I needed a reason to read his autobiography (Story on experiments with truth) and looks like I have it now ( I should read it at least within this year ).

A thought comes to ones mind, isn’t overcoming authority by non-violence a position of strength?
Doesn’t overcoming our fear and replacing it with resolve to overcome our obstacles a position of strength?
Being honest to self whatever be the situation, isn’t that one of most difficult things to achieve?
Shaking a stick menacingly at someone, but hands shivering with fear on the outcome, or ruling with fear, when
does these become a position of fear?

Come may any storm, I will face it. Come may any fear, I will face it. What I feel is right, I will do it.
That’s what I feel are the teachings from the great teacher. Overcome your fear and let a steely resolve overcome you to do good.
That’s what he thought.

• Being fearless.
• Being honest.
• Fight in-justice.

If all three are not present then they haven’t imbibed Gandhiji’s lessons.
You need all these three attributes in equal measure to say it follows “Non-violence”/Gandhiji’s movement.
