Lemme get started

If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even If I may not have it at the beginning.

Borrowing the above from the "Mahatma", I am still trying to figure out where can I start.

Life's had it shares of ups & downs. Everyday's a learning experience - learning to live life better, learning to unlearn learnings that have over-ridden your natural instincts,...e.g.: as a baby one breathes fully from the diaphragm and as we age we forget to breathe - taking in only about 20% of the oxygen that we are supposed to.

People believe they are able to single out the root-cause(s), only to realise the belief is the root. During my NLP sessions, we learnt that 'people are not their behaviours'. Perception is projection. The better we are at projecting our good-sides, we are good at perception management - hence we can still continue with our bad sides, but others need not know about that side.

All gibberish...well I have just started.....

Currency Management

2007-01-27T07:59:00.000-08:00

With the globalization and the currency unification the world is becoming a smaller place to trade and conduct business. Counterfeit currency, money laundering, tax evasion, drug money, terrorism funding, etc. are problems which will surge and will be difficult to counter in the near future, if steps are not taken now.

Solution I can suggest is as follows:
- Currencies to have some sort of codes (bar-codes, check-digits, etc.)
- Mobile Scanners (to verify the above codes) are made mandatory - in various forms like watches, pens, wrist-scanners, etc.
- When currency is issued to any individual X from any financial institution (FI), the currency notes be scanned by the FI and associated with that individual X. For large denominations a range to be taken i.e. the top note & the bottom note to be scanned.
- On receiving, the individual X scans the currency notes with his mobile scanner and accepts them. The currency notes then get linked to the individual X’s name and is logged in a central database.
- When the individual X uses these currency notes to buy or lend money, the other individual Y scans the notes with his mobile scanner and then these notes get transferred to the individuals Y’s name and is again logged in the central database. This process goes on as the currency passes various hands.

This will help to manage currency ownership and knowledge of actual possession at any point of time. The challenges are:
- The network between the mobile scanners and the central database.
The network can be online (where all data can transmitted on the fly. e.g. GPRS, etc.) & off-line (where each individual has a cradle where he docks his mobile scanner and the data gets synchronized with the central database over the internet)Getting all the countries to agree to invest in this technology

Sanity - A Conspiracy Theory

2007-01-19T06:18:00.000-08:00

It suddenly occured to me that I need to start writing about anything that occured to me as they occured. I'm slowly beginning to feel that I am getting forgetful and also seem to have the feeling that whatever is happening has happend earlier - heh! what's the conspiracy?

I come across people who seem familiar and they swear they have not met me earlier. ......wierd is'nt it? I have always been under the assumption (I still can't get over it that it is not the case anymore) that I have a great memory for faces - names I can't be sure.

Sometimes I have the funny feeling I am going to end up in an asylum. Ofcourse the asylum would in that case, house all the sane people - whatever left of them.

Heard people saying - I'm being watched. Well ! who exactly will be watching you full-time. You ofcourse - your inner-self, ....? Somewhere in your conscious you may have done something you did not want to do - good or bad - does'nt matter. That feeling begins to creep within slowly and linger in your mind.
---getting philosophical? am I in the wrong field? cool it fellas -I know what I am doing - as I said earlier all this just occured to me and I am just writing them down. :))
