These days I am trying to understand a bit about functioning of our power house which is our brain, what I initially figured out that brain basically has three major chambers Conscious, Subconscious and Unconscious, the fascinating fact is that all the decisions we are taking today are apparently being take by our Subconscious,  as Conscious mind is more of messenger which passes on all the data to Subconscious and builds the Subconscious database over the time. Ever experience a moment ‘how I manage to apply the break while my thoughts were some where else ‘? Did I really locked the door? At times we act like a programmed device not knowing what we are doing just doing it , that’s the power of Subconscious mind it can take total control of things.

There are times when we go clueless and don’t know what to do or take a lot time to make decision,  this happens when subconscious has no dataset matching current situation, Conscious mind sends a signal to Subconscious how do we go about this situation, Subconscious mind says I am not sure about this thing, why don’t you go ahead and do something about it, Conscious mind says let me try but than Conscious mind is utterly confused at this moment of time and says I don’t know what do, Subconscious now says ok I will tell something which I know of one such similar scenario,  It will be best for all of us and the security mechanism of kicks in, being secure is first thing which most of us learned and it’s engraved in our Subconscious. So Subconscious will drive you to take decision which it feels is safest and easiest may not be always right but it does what it thinks is best.

Moving onto the Unconscious mind it’s the part of brain where some thoughts,memories and knowledge is stored but it’s not available to you in your normal state of mind, something like a bad data sector on your hard drive, this apparently builds our instincts or  drive, sometime we are driven to do something without fully understanding why we want to do it , our decision at times can be affected by the Unconscious mind as well without we having any clue what made us to take that decision.

I would love to elaborate my learnings more in future as and when I get time, I am trying to deep dive in the Unconscious and Subconscious mind as that can help understand some mysteries of the powerhouse we all carry on our heads ‘THE BRAIN’.

The road which is being build not just by the brick and mortar it’s the road which is being build by the free will and determination of few individuals who have given up on Government and decided to be master of their own desitinies and following what Mahatma once said “Be the change you want to see in the world”, I can not see much bigger example of it than this road being constructed by brave hearts, I feel ashamed that I can not go there and sweat it out with them and help them in the cause.

I tried to do what ever was in my capacity transfered some money and trying to spread the word so that more people can know about it and more contributions can pour in for them, I request all my friends to visit the facebook group which they have created for the cause.

Great Indian Road

Great Indian Road

The Tamenglong – Haflong Road Construction has been under construction for the past 30 years and the people are now tired and have decided to build it themselves.

This road will connect Assam , Manipur and Nagaland—- from tamenglong – barak river – azuram – makhu river – tousem – phoklong – katang nam – Chari river – Hereilua (assam) – laisong- mohur- haflong — or from hereilua – ngauluang – nsong- peren- jalukie. The work is being led by a young IAS officer by the name of Armstrong Pame and his brother Jeremiah Pame.

For more details visit http://thegreatindianroad.in/

Once complete it will be one of the biggest project funded by the crowd in recent times, so what are you waiting for be the part of history and contribute in what ever way you can.

Today morning I got up to see a mail from collabnet saying “Git questions? 24/7 support has arrived”, not even a month back I received email from clearvision “Reliable git support #goGit” , Atlassian acquiring bitbucket, adding git support to, also acquiring sourcetree git client for mac osx and making it free is also not a very old news in ALM space, also Atlassian’s decision to retire Subversion and launching stash.

All these recent developments has forced me to think, all of sudden what has changed in ALM space ? has Git become so indispensable all of sudden ? As it’s been around for quite a while now, has something really changed or it’s just trying to ride the wave, git is powerful DVCS no doubt about that but still these developments keep me guessing, is this the success of github which has propelled this phenomenon or something else or all of sudden more corporate organizations have started adopting git.

I would like to know from readers what according to them has changed all of sudden that git is becoming a prima facie standard and ALM providers going gaga about the same.

PS : This not a debate about Subversion or git or mercurial or any other version control for that matter it’s just question why all of sudden so many enterprises jumping in providing the git support.

If you are not working out of your comfort zone you are not working in a startup.

It’s hard to wait for something that may never happen, but it’s even harder to give up when you know it’s everything you wanted.

It’s hard to do a really good job on anything you don’t think about in the shower.

As soon as your dream become stronger than your doubts and fears , your dream begins to manifest .

There’s a difference in being committed and being involved, you can still be committed but not involved.

Today I clicked on compose in gmail inbox and was prompted by google to try new compose, I just clicked yes why not and I was totally taken by surprise by what I saw a new compose window just comes like a chat window but slightly bigger,  so you can keep on reading mails and typing the mail at the same time, this definitely solves a problem for me at times I am typing a message and I need to refer some other mail or need to check some new mail which has just arrived, I had to save my current message in draft and head towards my mail box to dig for the mail or to read the new mail, the problem will be no more with the new compose window.

I love the way google keeps on innovating on small small things no wonder Gmail is most preferred free service by consumers.

 

More details about the same from Google blog , you are right I searched for it after trying it out :-)

Enjoy the new compose till the time Google comes something new.
