Important lesson learned

“The proper formulation of the problem is even more essential than its solution.” - Albert Einstein.

Deploying software for live use is much more complex affair than the creation of it. Requirements Engineering i.e., Architecture & Business Analysis, are the foundations to tackle this complex riddle and generate sustainable business value from the enormous investments and human efforts in ICT. Robust Systems Modelling well founded on architecture, analysis, synthesis and design provides sustainable results and enables transformation of business processes to that of lean, agile, clean and efficient.
[Motamarri, ACM Software Engineering Notes, v17 n2, 1992 and IFIP Oct, 1993]

Influenced by

It is the wonderful truth that Swami Vivekananda pronounced:
"...Man walks. His stomach goes first, then his head. Have you not seen that? It will take ages to make the head go first."

Reflecting on the thousands of years of history of India, what have we learned? What happened to the sacrifices of our great grand fathers, rishis?

People across the globe are so engrossed in wealth that they are forgetting the basic human values.

What Lord Krishna urged in the battle field of Kurukshetra, is exactly what Swami Vivekananda is wondering to happen.

My role model

There are many people and many grand masters who have lived for the society.

I have codified this into a motto, that runs:
"The mark of leadership is the inability to differentiate the Art and Science."

I have prepared an elaborate presentation to explain what this is meant.

Couple of years from now

Life is changing, the world is changing, the environment is changing.
It is unpredictable.
The point in life is not where we stand, but in what direction we are moving.

Thoughts on Education system of our country
