What Motivates Me?

Human is the only creature who can think about himself and his thoughts. He can sit away from his thoughts and visualize whats happening around him. I love doing self-introspection. This 'what motivates me?' strike me when i went for walking with my uncle today morning. The main paradigm which i give consider important is " Independence". In nutshell, big responsibility, freedom to execute and made responsible for big action motivates me. When others believe me i can do that work, I really rise to the occasion.

During college days, when everybody believed that I could conduct 'Harmony' (my college's inter-college cultural meet), I was very happy. Indeed till then, i was never in foreground for any organising club activities. Just belief made the magic then. The other incident which is still green in my memory is leading a full length project in this co here. My manager believed me that I could lead the whole implementation, that really kindled me to perform. Different people has different breaking edge, basically all can perform anything in this world. Its time and identifying your strength does the magic and show you your true potential! Gung-Ho!

Feel free to share your motivation tipping point!

Whats there in a VCD, DVD?

Digital video knocks you in different forms day-in and day-out. You have a VCD player, DVD player, DVD combo drive in PC, blah,blah, so many digital gizmos are available around us. Whats driving this industry? Lets take old days video, where we capture an image sequence in casette. Play it with VCR player. No trouble in it. Quality OK! Then came this new world, where contents are required to be available in all gizmos including ur tiny mobiles. So moving from analog to digital domain become inevitable. Suddenly all headaches arises. An analog image say a frame, when converted to digital domain, takes huge space. For example, your computer screen size image takes 460 KBytes (Dont get whats bytes measure all about, forget it). You can save 3 such frames in one floppy or 1500 frames in a CD. But you know what- 30 frames of image is required to be played in a screen to make it look like a real movie. (TV frame rate is 30). With 1500 frames which we stored in a CD, we can play it back for just 50 secons (not even a minute!!!). So....... how is that we can able to see a movie of 3 hrs duration stored in 2 VCDs or in one DVD. This magic is done by what we call coding and decoding. Video coding is logical science, can be picked up by any new entrant. Lets see an image sequence, you can see the adjacent frames of images dont change much other than few movements here and there. (Take for example, sequence of images of bird flying....most of the frames, the background gonna be sky, which remains almost stable, whereas the small bird alone change its position in continous frame). Got the place where we gonna hit the video codec?! This tells me that I need not transmit all background data again and again, I can post only the data which changes across frame. ( Wow, looks simple. Isnt it?) Video codecs born out of this simple catch. Now it has devolped into many generations. VCDs are first generation aka MPEG1, DVDs are second generation, aka MPEG2.....(btw, I am working in 4th generation and latest video codes in industry ;)) Most of the business in this industry revolves around the different algorithms implementation for different embedded devices. Electronic device makers buy different implementation from small players to big ones. [+] check this wiki entry

My gal Where are you?

Humans evolve from their deeds. We are not sweet always for all. We tend to mess up frenships and relationships often. I always found myself in this self-digged hole lot of times. Emotional faux pas. Till now, left it to time to save my soul. Time has magical powers of healing all wounds. Indeed it had solved few of my long time fights too. Everybody has so much expectation for their gal! Me too, no different. I wish my gal to be an extrovert and very affable. She has a important role to play in my life. She should patch up all messes, i made in life. My gal Where are you?

A lot can happen over a coffee

India's coffee day opened its 250th outlet in Goa. [+] StarBucks, wow- this name reminds me of caffine attraction. These guys evolve along with coffee mania in USA. I wasnt coffee buff always. After reading "pouring your heart into it" by Star bucks CEO, I go fida with Coffee. [+] Starbucks is big coffee retailer in USA, with annual revenue crossing US$ 4B. One of fortune 500 companies. [+] India's Cafe Coffee Day (CCD) is modelled on Starbucks in all ways. CCD has garnered majority chunk in Indian coffee market, a clear market leader. [+] Starbucks has no franchise and all outlets are company owned. They started it, reason it on the line- coffee business lies in quality and purity, dont wanna mess this with profit motive of franchise model. India's CCD too follows it. All CCD outlets are company owned. [+] All cafe outlets in India are modelled as hangout for Teenagers and youths. This is different from starbucks model. Starbucks cover all market ranges and have different ways to reach different segments of people. A lot can happen over a coffee- cachy line of coffee day. Kewl!
