Ourmedia

I have read about ourmedia.org, the site created by our company Tekriti Software, making lot of news on the net. But today, I have read about ourmedia.org and Marc Canter in The Economic Times. You can read the article at Living on the edge. It is really a great feeling to working with a company, which is just six months old, whose products are making news around the world. Great going, Teknokrats!

The extract from the article -

In a world where everybody can broadcast, where everything is reported, there are problems, agreed Marc Canter of Ourmedia.org, a non-profit whose goal is to make it easy for the public to publish digital media.

No Complaints!

Most of us generally have complaints about one or other thing. Sometimes we have complaints with ourseleves, sometimes with others, but we have complaints every day. We can not pass even a single day without having a complaint in our mind.

I, too, have lots of complaints with myself, my surroundings, others etc. But when the complaints start getting heavy on me, I just start repeating the words 'no complaints' with little smile. This makes me feel better and I throw out all the complaints from my mind.

The idea of this post is not telling you how I deal with such stupid things or how you should deal with such stupid things, but to remind me and you that we all know about good things, but we forget to remember them or implement them in our daily life.

Tekriti Team and Marc

We people, teknokrats, went for lunch with Marc at Moti Mahal. We did lot of fun of there.

TekInnovate Day Ideas - Audio

As I am very fond of music, I always miss some features in audio playing softwares like winamp. I really don't know if these are already there in the form of plugins etc. Firstly, I want there should be an option to turn off the background music or singer's voice while listenning to song. I think this may be done by filtering out the human's voice frequency range. Secondly, audio playing softwares should be capable to produce lyrics in written format. I know speech recoginition technology has improved lot but, I think, this would be quite difficult task because every singer sings in a different manner. Thirdly, as I always wanted to learn Piano but I could not learn it so far, I want a feature to produce the sa re ga ma format of the song. This one would be really cool feature for those who want to learn musical instruments. Fourthly, seems to be more interesting that if it could superimpose my voice over singer's voice in the song. Here firslty software would record different frequencies of our voice then by some algorithim it would replace singer's voice with our voice in a song.

These are some of the features I like to have in audio playing softwares. I really don't know at this stage, if these features are possible or how difficult to implement...

Blogging - Stress Buster

I think blogging is a stress buster activity because when we are writing about any topic, we are throwing our thoughts outside from our brain. That way, we are relieving our brain. Some people write about their experiences in their personal diaries at the end of the day. This way they feel relaxed after writing. I think blogging is wonderful thing for all of us who know computers to relieve our stress. You may believe or not but it's true.

As people like us work for long hours on computers, we need to relax our mind so that we can do our job perfectly. I think blogging is one of the best stress buster activity because when you are writing a blog; you are with yourself, you are talking to yourself, you are giving time to yourself. People do lot of things to get relieve from stress like smoking, chatting etc. but blogging is better than such kind of activities because here you are refining your thoughts. It feels like having a virtual friend...

I have Learned...

...that no matter how good a friend is, they are going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

...that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

...that you can keep going long after you can't. ...that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

...that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

...that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

...that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

...that the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.

Innovation

So far this is like a dream but now our company Tekriti Software is going to start TekInnovate Day. On this day, we people are free to implement our own ideas with full company support. It's going to be great fun because we are free to code whatever we want. Initially I read about this kind of thing on Google site. Google engineers all have "20 percent time" in which they're free to pursue projects they're passionate about.

The word "innovation" itself is very inspiring. I am just thinking about the day when we people will develop some interesting application. It would be like feeling at top of the world. Even just thinking about it gives me lot of energy. Hope we people will build some cool and interesting applications.

Blogging Experience

I am trying to create my blog account from last 1-2 weeks but each time I found this blog account is already taken. I tried so many different kinds of names like mylife, merikahani, merizindagi, life, smile, myideas etc. but no way. People like to choose such philosophical names very often like me. I was also trying to find such an interesting name from last 2 weeks. Finally I found such an interesting name "kuchtohai", atleast I like it.

So finally the blogging has been started and I will keep posting my ideas towards life, philosophy, tecnology, tekriti, friends, relations...
