Truth Alone Prevails - SatyamevJayate 

Business Tycoons-Success and Superstition

Talking about success in business forums is just one facet of coin, in real world these tycoons  are deeply  superstitious. A quick glance at names  of SUVs/cars/bike/trucks manufactured by Mahindra & Mahindra reveals it – (all names end with alphabet “O”)

Xylo ------(people mover)

Quanto --(a short version of Xylo to avail tax benefits)

Varito ----(sedan, earlier sold as Logan in collaboration with Renault)

XUV 5 OO-(high range SUV)

Bolero-----(low range SUV)

Scorpio ----(mid range SUV)

Centuro----(recently launched bike)

Reva-e2o--(electric micro car earlier name Reva now added e2o )

Koranodo-- (a cross over)

Geo ---------(a small light weight  commercial pickup)

Genio -------(commercial pick up)

Maxximo ---(a commercial  load carrier )

Torro --------(truck/BUS depending on chassis variant )

Truxo -------(truck/BUS depending on chassis variant )

Traco -------(truck/BUS depending on chassis variant )

There are other models without  this trendy “O” but they are insignificant in its sales chart.

Best cam phone/ Smart phone camera ever.

The beast cellphone camera ever.
       Below photograph is straight from cellphone camera without editing.
Colors are spot on as they look in day light, contrast too is much more better than many DSLRs at thier default settings. This is what I want from a digital camera. Surprisingly many big costly digital cameras fail to diliver this level of accuracy at default settings.

Below is the image of my many many years old cellphone cropped from the above photograph at 100% magnification. The tiny image sensor did it's best, noise and artifacts are not a problem cos rarely any one makes print large as this. At this magnification you can make 3 foot wide print from the full resulation original image.

below is cropped from the original JPEG image at top, here at 100% magnification if seen on calibrated PC screen.

It's disinfectants bottle's image cropped at 100% magnification if seen on calibrated PC screen. The printing grains on the label are clearly visible. On your PC these letters and digits are almost 6-7 bigger than the original print on bottle.

6,8 or 12 or so and so mega pixels doesn't make sense if signals coming from them is not processed properly , it did it's best in this field with it's secret algorithm and here it's second to none. It's just the right size, fits in hands and pockets. Though it's a generation old but is the best touch device I mean you touch an icon and it pops without hesitation, swiftly swaps through pages unlike inferior copy cats in the market- last week I tried a Sam..g Galx.. series touch device which disappointed on every front be it's camera, color accuracy, touch response, speed..

 Many other far East electronic giants too have tried to copy it's design and color to make their inferior product look like it but failed to deliver unmatched performance.

Which is this phone? It's easy to guess with clues given above.

Part time job sucks - Wake up USA

Part time jobs during early school help students meet expences reducing burden on parents. It has long term negative impact on over all economy and society at large. If students earn at early they think that they can live and earn without higher education. It is not popular here in India because here such low paid jobs are filled by lower section of society, Indian middle class parents who are the largest highly educated class/group in India never would like to see their children working part time for a low profile job such as in a restaurent,a meason, home delivery, courier delivery, billing at counter etc which doesn't require specialized skill. Imagine an Indian officer's or middle class family's son/daughter studying to become scientist/officer/professors and doing such part time work in India - impossible. 

The US economy is confronting ill effect of part time job culture. Today there are hundreds of thousands of vascant position in USA but hardly skilled applicants. It is more difficult to fill a vacancy which reouire manufacturing skills, science, mathmetics, computers.

American colleges are producing fewer math and science graduates as students favor social sciences, whose workload is perceived to be manageable, leading to a skills mismatch.

Math, engineering, technology and computer science students accounted for about 11.1 percent of college graduates in 1980, according to government data. That share dropped to about 8.9 percent in 2009.

Unemployment in manufacturing is at 8.4 percent, below the overall rate of 9.1 percent. According to the Labor Department's latest Job Openings and Labor Turnover survey, there were 240,000 open jobs in manufacturing in August up 38.7 percent from a year ago.

Siemens Corp., the U.S. arm of Germany's Siemens AG (SI.N), has over 3,000 jobs open all over the country. More than half require science, technology, engineering and math-related skills.

A survey by ManpowerGroup found that a record 52 percent of U.S. employers have difficulty filling critical positions within their organizations -- up from 14 percent in 2010.

ATS which counts manufacturing behemoths Caterpillar and Motorola among its clients, has at any given time about 200 open positions which can take 90 to a hundred days to fill them.

Contour Precision, based in Clover, South Carolina, does contract work for the energy and aerospace industries. It is currently looking for six technicians. It has had positions open since last year.

It's better to have short term difficulty rather long term everlasting damage. Wake up USA.

At the set of a movie - Photographs on Kodak print film

Film versus Digital - Sharpness, shadow & highlight detail

Moon rise on a busy cross road.
Detail and sharpness in highlight area is clearly visible at higher magnification, though it is low resolution scan from 35mm Fuji ISO 100 print film. It was scanned at only 1800x1200 resolution which equates only 2.1 megapixel image from a digital camera. The highlight in the digital capture burns/washes the detail while film holds it. Grains are unusually more visible in this frame because of poor developing and processing of film roll from my neighboring lab, even mishandling at lab has scratched and marked with pinhole on the film. It is not the drawback of film but the poor work from lab to blame. In India mot of the labs are too poor on quality and consistency. This is the reason most people here think that film is inferior than digital. Remember for the bad food we can't blame the ingredients, it is the unskilled chef in the kitchen who can't process all the ingredients in to a tasty dish.
The quality of detail and sharpness in highlight area here marked with two little circles in the magnified rectangle; would have bumped up if used with 28mm fix focal length lens. It was shot with 28-100 normal zoom at 28mm. No photo editing software used, straight from film scan file. Film is always superior, it rules. I shot it on 35 mm which is the smallest format used by amateurs, the possibilities are endless with medium format, 4x5, 8x10 sheet film.
