My Alma Mater - JIVA
I have studied in different schools and college(s) but the one school which connected with my soul was "JIVA" formerly abbreviated as Jiva Institute of Vidya Academy , an joint initiative by Sh. Rishi Pal Chauhan , the Chairman of JIVA , Sh. Steven Rudolph , one of the well known American-Indian Educationist , Education Director of JIVA .
Although I studied there till 6th Standard , JIVA gave me the identity , helped me to mature , to grow rapidly . Since childhood , I was fascinated by Universe / Space , and it provided me every kind of resource to live my fascinating life . With a Mac Lab , ISBN Internet Leased Line all sponsored by Apple & Intel , our school was way ahead than any other school in India during that the decade1994-2004 .
A ICSE affiliated school , with experiential learning at its core , JIVA developed its own curriculum called ICOT - India's Curriculum of Tomorrow , which was launched by the Lt. Sh. Shammi Kapoor on a rainy night in 2002 .
Interestingly ICOT is followed by hundreds of schools in India , and Jiva's Computer Books are suggested ICT books in many schools .
And what reminded me of JIVA again ?

Memories are vivid and sense of attachment with JIVA is as lively as it used to be .
my first job & boss
When your startup doesn't work multiple times , you get convinced about joining a job .
I failed multiple times , perhaps due to lack of discipline and lesser number of follow ups with prospective clients . Eventually I suffered financial problem which needed immediate attention .
In startups , cash is king and there is this golden rule of startup , never run out of cash .
I rejected 4 jobs to finally joining a educational institution , education sector being my specialization .
it took me 15 days to understand the infrastructure and have Indepth knowledge of it ( IT infrastructure & Inventory , peers ( most of them ) , IT vision about which everyone was too confuse ) .
There I got my boss , first boss . A calm ,dedicated , perfectionist person . Writing a mail and then voraciously editing it , till the mail's content becomes
crisp being one of her many quality .
A boss, not so rude , down the earth , approachable earns respect of subordinates and in case , she got whole of it .
There might be times when during auditing your small mistake can embarrass the boss and then you realize that your responsibility towards your department , and that you have to take charge of things .
That's exactly I am going to do now .

Getting out of Debt - Inspired by a discussion between professors of Imperial College , London
India and United Kingdom had a history. Not the pleasant one, but whatever we had with them, it left us with knowledge, infrastructure, lesser geographical area and unpleasant experience (for many). But exactly how did Britishers managed to rule was, showed how vulnerable we were. All the vulnerabilities were exploited to the extent that, greatest devastation / massacre happened during rule. But since Britishers managed to rule major part of the world at some point of time, there isn't any doubt about their patriotism (which we Indians lack) and intelligence (their strategic victories explains this very well), their historical documentation is rich, and their rich economy thanks to perpetual invasion and transfer of wealth. There were times when even United Kingdom was under debt (most countries are deeply in debt which eventually makes them fulfil demands of the lending countries). India is said to be under debt of about 150 Billion USD, which happens to be about over 15% of our GDP.
So what are the ways by which India's economy can be stabilised, level of debts be decreased so as to empower Indian economy? I was listening to an interview of a professor of Imperial College , London . He explains how Great Britain managed to get out of debt, what historial events impacted the growth of UK's economy . To be continued ..
