ByteFeed

I have started a new blog - ByteFeed - http://byte-feed.blogspot.com/

This is my ‘Tech Dump blog’ containing snippets of the Tech News and analysis I glean from the Web everyday. I track about 40 blogs, of which 10 are Tech blogs and some are themselves Tech News aggregators.

I got hooked to reading Tech Blogs about 10 months ago - when I started using Google Reader. Slowly my reading list grew and I kept adding deleting ... then gradually not only did my reading list increase, my ability to read and filter more and more content daily increased.

So, apart from reading these blogs, I started sending some interesting ones via email to Shubham and Hemant - occasionally marking a few other friends too. Of late, I realized that I had been sending too many such emails and I better start a parallel blog to record these 'filtered' blog posts.

Since these 'referred posts' are mostly on Technology, I used to send excerpts of these via emails by the subject 'ByteFeed' . So, when I decided to publish these emails on a blog simultaneously – I gave the blog the same name.

The idea behind this blog is just to collate interesting news at one place as it happens. I myself have benefited by bloggers who glean info off the web and publish a selection on their blogs [Example: Rajesh Jain's emergic]. This helps save my time as I read only filtered stuff - this blog too is a similar attempt from my side to output a filtered feed of my own reading list on a blog.

Few words of caution to people who would want to become visitors to that blog or subscribe to its RSS feeds. I do not intend to post any original posts or commentaries there - this blog would be more of an 'excerpt collector' from various leading tech blogs which I track. So it might seem that the content on this blog is plagiarized - however that is not the intention at all.

Also, please note that my personal blog still continues to be here and I don't see any situation when the posts made here would get posted there. All my original posts, rants, commentaries, reviews, travelogues ... etc would continue to get published on http://the-complete-man.blogspot.com/

Vikramaditya - Myth or Reality

  A statue of Vikramaditya at  Vikramaditya ka Tila / Vikramaditya's Singhasan Battisi On a recent visit to Ujjain, I found myself drawn to the city's extraordinary blend of history, mythology, and spirituality. As I stood before the Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga, I reflected on its significance as one of India’s most revered shrines. Yet, amidst these sacred surroundings, I encountered narratives of Vikramaditya - the legendary king of Ujjain, celebrated for his valor and wisdom, who's name resonates from the folklore of locals to every part of India. Every time we celebrate a festival in India, it is marked with a tithi i.e. date as per the Indian calendar - which is called the Vikram Samvat calendar, attributed to being founded by Vikramaditya of Ujjaini (the then name of Ujjain). What struck me, however, was the curious fact that despite Vikramaditya’s pivotal place in Indian cultural memory, his existence as a historical figure lacks definitive evidence. My exploration l...

Ekla Chalo re

Watched "Bose- The forgotten Hero" on Saturday. Gem of a movie and probably the best of Shyam Benegal. Subhash Chandra Bose has always been an inspiring character in the history for the youth. This post however is not about the movie, its about the lead song 'Tanha Rahee' which is based on the poem 'Ekla Chalo Re' by Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore. I had pasted the English translation of this poem on my blog earlier. http://the-complete-man.blogspot.com/2004/12/tsunami-times_30.html However, yesterday I found the original bengali text of the poem and found that the meaning in the above translation was not exact. So I have endeavourer (with the help of Shubham ) to re-translate it into English and Hindi by myself. Here is the output of my work: Bengali Jodi Tor Dak Soone Keu Na Asse Tobe Ekla Chalo re Ekla Chalo Ekla Chalo Ekla Chalore Jodi Keu Katha Na Kai Ore Ore O Abhaga Jodi Sabai Thake Mukh Firae Sabai Kare Bhay Tabe Paran Khule O Tui Mukh Fute Tor Maner Kath...

Of Business Ethic and Ethics

Cover of book on Mr. Ratan Tata  The chairman of Tata Trusts and former chairman of Tata Sons, Mr. Ratan Tata, passed away on the 10th of October. The last two days have been filled with coverage of Mr. Tata's contributions to the country, the economy, and the global business world. Numerous articles and reports highlight his contribution primarily as a great philanthropist who worked for the cause of ethical business, which the Tata Group has been known for over the last 100+ years. While narrating how Mr. Tata's contribution was acknowledged in her school, even my daughter told me that they were told Mr. Tata was a great philanthropist.  I have been a little taken aback because most media and people have focused on his philanthropy and not his business achievements or entrepreneurship-related activities. This got me thinking about how I view the transformation that Mr. Tata brought about during his tenure as chairman of Tata Sons, where his contribution was far more pronounc...
