Editorial series 1 - like what the President said 'Real Dirt is in the minds'

This may be a 2 month old speech by the Honorable President of India, Sir Pranab Mukherjee, but has an evergreen effect. Not really a fresh anecdote that is said for the very first time, but a reinforced statement - much needed for any intolerant society, could be any country.

There are tons of incidents to quote here in India. And the recent ones are more than sufficient to sample it out,

- Tanzanian women harassed in the streets of Bangalore

- A young protester beaten up on the streets

- Pathankot terror incident
and the countless incidents that aren't at limelight.

Indirect effect

But, this list shouldn't stop on direct cruelties alone. It should be extended to all that has indirect consequences, specially like when 'Democracy' is taken for granted. In fact they have a much larger effect, when committed

--- by the responsible leaders of the country 
when they protest citing needless public reasons, diverging from the innumerable socio-economic problems of our country

--- by the law makers

when judgement turns around for the sake of famous rich men

--- by the celebrities
when the society is mislead by their commercially wealthy, but ethically sub-standard messages they convey

and here too the list goes on and on...

A deep dive into the problem, discarding various branching reasons, en routes the truth, and a strong reason called SELFISHNESS. None can deny this, that lies deep inside the minds of the men who are directly and indirectly responsible. Saddening are the consequences of it, we see it everyday.

In Tamil goes a famous saying 'திருடனாய் பார்த்து திருந்தாவிட்டால் திருட்டை ஒழிக்க முடியாது', literally meaning Theft prevails, until the thief realizes and changes himself. And it goes one on one with the President's words - Real Dirt of India lies in our minds not on the streets.

So,

Let's try and lock our SELF in a mind, and start trying to think for others, my Friends. This could be a great place to start removing the Dirt from the minds.

Fun at Work Place - Urban Ladder

It ain't anything new, the multinationals had and have it for a long time. Google is known for this. Many Indian organizations too have it. Walk into the corridors of the IT parks in the outskirts of Bangalore, and you will see these.

(Outskirts for the reason that they have the liberty of bigger offices.)

And now what's encouraging is, start-ups in India too are adopting it, that is - FUN AT WORK PLACE. Really encouraging.

Urban Ladder

the 'e-Wood furnishing interiors business company' was in the news recently, in these lines.

We have an extract to make it crisp.

The list of activities is quite encouraging and interesting,

• Gym - The most common and much needed activity for almost all IT folks is in

• Yoga Room - Hearing it for the first time (coz of Modi effect :), we don't know )

• Play Station - No so common, but these interactive games are sometimes innovation pullers. Could be a reason why Urban Ladder preferred to have.

• Foosball - Hearing it for the first time for corporate presence. Otherwise seen only in the malls, seems like the employees do some team building here.

• Pool Table - A cool one to have, though needs some maintenance

Lucky is the 300 plus team that's enjoying the best of the activities. Guess they play hard both at work and fun.

Kudos Urban Ladder team, let your business grow, funds flow, teams glow, and you become one of the best places to work - our heartfelt wishes!

Passion Series 5 - Intriguing personality Baba Ramdev

Proclamations that he cures Cancer and has pills for the Male child is in the air. Gemspirations does not want to get deep inside these contemplation's. Rather talk the best of this yogic personality.

So, what brings him to Gemspirations - 18 to 20 hours of work everyday! Let get inside this.

Physically, the human body is made up of 37.2 Trillion living cells, 270 bones, 670 muscles, tons of bacteria and plenty of elements like Carbon, Calcium, Phosphorus and many biological reactions takes place throughout the day, including respiration, re-production, excretion and so on. Mind blowing numbers aren't they?

And these contributes to a plenty of mental thoughts: Love, Passion, Horror, Anger, Sympathy and you know the list...

If there is one thing, that can reset these and bring back human body under control - that is REST, which comes with the BEST SLEEPING HOURS. And the recommended sleeping hours are 7-8 hours for any normal humans. This is proven by many experts medically and psychologically. Ha! we don't even need these proofs, we know how havoc the day will be, if we don't have a sound sleep, at least a good sleep.

And here is where, Baba Ramdev makes the difference - Is he resting for only 4 hours? Am I joking? Only he can answer us.

Baba Ramdev doing Yogasana

Let's make a sincere analogy,

Proposition: A normal human body requires 7-8 hours of sleep, for all the complex activities it does and thoughts that routes around.

Inverse Proposition: The thoughts that led to Complex reactions of the body, needs 7-8 hours of sleep to settle down

A little refined: The body is confused that it requires 7-8 hours to settle down

Applied logic:
What if the body is not confused too much?
Does it require only little sleep?
Is Baba Ramdev's body little confused?
Does he controls the body and mind that it is not confused so much?
Does Yoga helps him control his body and mind?

questions...questions...questions...

Nevertheless, the bottom line is, it requires practice and determination to control the body. If he as a human can, definitely we can. Take the best out of men - Gemspirations gives its kudos to Baba Ramdev.

Need of the hour phone - Shatterproof Moto X Force

We bend, we run, we drop and there could be plenty other reasons why the phone falls and breaks. And the repair comes at a cost, a ridiculously high cost - sometimes half the price of the phone for changing the display panel alone.


Fed-up and easily becoming a reason to change the phone. The Mind sometimes doesn't accept repairing at this cost. Really, ridiculous isn't it?

Between my kid needs it, to make her sit at once place for lunch and dinner. And she never forget to coat it with idly, dosa and rice, and sometimes throws it at a distance if the video is not what she was looking for. She in-fact is not interested in the 75k LED high density 3D TV to watch her favorite videos. It is our 35k Samsung Galaxy Note that she need. And there is no way to say no.

Thanks for the someone in Motorola who heard us. Thank you so much for making Moto X Force - the unbreakable, at least in the normal falling scenarios. Guaranteed, its not going to break.

'5 layered Shattershield protection' as hyped in the spec seems more reliable, and the YouTube video demos of it falling from decent heights shows only the corners of the phone damaged. Still, the display isn't cracked and the phone is fully functional. Cool stuff, right!

Moto executives are saying, that this was possible after 3 years of efforts in the labs. Seems like worth it.

Grab your phones, it is available online and offline (Croma and Spice outlets). Little pricey though, the 32GB version at 50k and the 64GB version at 54k.

Get the full specs of the phone here.
