To be of use by Marge Piercy

One nice poem by Marge Piercy :

To be of use

The people I love the bestjump into work head firstwithout dallying in the shallowsand swim off with sure strokes almost out of sight.They seem to become natives of that element,the black sleek heads of sealsbouncing like half submerged balls.

I love people who harness themselves, an ox to a heavy cart,who pull like water buffalo, with massive patience,who strain in the mud and the muck to move things forward,who do what has to be done, again and again.

I want to be with people who submergein the task, who go into the fields to harvest and work in a row and pass the bags along,who stand in the line and haul in their places,who are not parlor generals and field desertersbut move in a common rhythmwhen the food must come in or the fire be put out.

The work of the world is common as mud.Botched, it smears the hands, crumbles to dust.But the thing worth doing well donehas a shape that satisfies, clean and evident.Greek amphoras for wine or oil,Hopi vases that held corn, are put in museumsbut you know they were made to be used.The pitcher cries for water to carryand a person for work that is real.

Philips Semicon- New Face with its latest Ad

Philips Ad baout its NXP solution is eye-catching

Theme "Need a new look" is attractive and definately takes you to next step to read the ad and think about it.
Purpose of ad is to make audience stand and get that attention for which this ad has done justice.

I will really appreciate if someone can share agency which made this ad!!

Can Hyderabad take over Bangalore as IT Capital - Never!!

If you are orginally from Hyderabad , I know it will hurt.
But as somebody from outside who has lived in both Bangalore and Hyderabad, I dnt see hyderabad ever taking Banaglore as IT capital.
Hyderbad will definately become as a IT hub since govt of AP is pro-IT and have skilled people.

There are certain issues which govt need to looked on urgent basis..cost of living.
There is huge demand- supply gap for housing in Hyderabad with rates soaring up by 300% in just 1 year .IT companies need people in bulk but can people afford to live in hyderabad at such high rents. I doubt, therefore they will relocate..companies HR watch out!!
Bangalore has enormous inflow but still finding a house is not a problem.

The climate of bangalore is still great, hyderabad..man I wonder what it will be in summers when weather s hot right nw in rainy season.

Inclination of people towards IT. Bangalore..its not inclination..its Craze for IT..i see people right from school dont want to be in IT for money..but from interest to develop that piece of software.

Infrastructure, It is appreciating that Naidu did a good job to provide good road connectivity to Hi-Tech city but Irony is that There is a severe Network problem of cellular services in HI-Tech City in hyderabad, so should they be still seeing it as Hi-Tech ;)
Bangalore has good QoS for cellular coverage and Electronics City in bangalore has no such problems.

Hyderabad, craze for IT is because of career ,money and US factor.

Hyderabad has major IT giants, but that is mainly because they want to expand beyond Bangalore and they got space here in the city.One will rarely find start-ups in here.
Bnagalore..you walk in any area and its rare that you won't see a bunch of geeks shop trying to make up something in software. Bangalore has that right enviroment for geek enterpeneurship

Hyderabad will be big destination for IT but Capital..only in Dreams.
