Be the change...
There was a pickpocket who use to pick pockets on the streets of mumbai and was content with it.Once he saw a movie on another pick pocket in a theatre.He got horrified by watching the end of the pick pocket in the movie and in the very same theatre while coming out of it, swears on his children to leave this business and to do some meaningful and honest job.But when he roams in the city he forgets his oath and resumes old job.Some times when we see something wrong in society or around us, start cursing the situation, politics, people and moreover all the elements of the society and start questioning the system.we feel like changing the things and offcourse it would be the right way, our own personal way, always right. This small periodic mindset lasts few minutes, hours and sometimes in case of some people, more than a week.
But do we really see change with that? no we do not see any changes around us and the life goes on and on something very similar to "pick pocket".
People get what they are. There can be some exceptions but definitely that wont alter the rule.
Society is formed of people and it will get decision makers who are of the same nature as we all are.So what we want to change will be only changed if we change ourselves. but the million dollar qustion is don't we know this? yes we know it and on an average tell it atleast once in a week to someone wh0 goes through the same process of thoughts and inactions. This is what we are good at doing things.
How to solve it? or should be left as an uncured cancer. The answer is no. Lets start this discussion on how to carry on the mission without getting perturbed with time.....

Smartphones:Innovation is the key

Google did it again.This time it is the nexus phone which has become the talk of the town.I was looking at the advertisement of this phone over net but to my disappointment it feels like just another "Avatar" of Iphone.It is really hard to believe that Google will bring this fone in the market which was speculating it to do so from last three years.One can easily relate it to phones like Motorola droid but offcourse nexus one has more advantages over droid.
Iphone and Blackberry are the two superstars in the Smartphone world with a huge fan following.Both seems to compete with each other in a very difficult market.Blackberry was already a established player in the market when Iphone knocked the doors and guess what? Suddenly Iphone became a superior competitor, challenging the horizons of all blackberries.
I do not see any reason of wht happened between blackberry and Iphone will happen among Nexus and these superstars.
Reason is very simple and easy to understand:Whenever you come in market with established players you need to show something different and that "different" should be strong enough to shake the ground.It can be anything like the price, style, looks and even marketing.Market equations can be altered only if you come up with something which changes the way people look at the things.Improvements are like versions and they have little capacity to elevate positions and improve ground but surely it cannot elevate you to the top.
Blackberry is the darling of corporate world and Iphone is fast catching up over there along with it's admirers in techno and personal use world.Both the phones have got big appeal and distinctive looks different to each other.One feels different after holding anyone of these two and this is because of the look and feel along with all other technological superiority over other smartphones.They were able to took the pole positions because they offered something which did not exist at that time and this requires "innovation".Both the products offered innovations and people were able to attach themselves with it and that innovation is missing from the nexus one without which i do not feel that People will divorce blackberry and iphone.
