Should we change our measurement of development?

Most of the world leaders have said that the youth of any country decides where the country will be in the next ten years. Youth power makes their country strong from inside. If the youth is awake then country is awake. Youth power can push all the boundaries, no chain can stop them. Because they are fearless, brave and most important focused. Every country's youth power decides where this country will stand. 
   The reason that I am writing this is that I want to change some convention in the world. The measurement of development, those who don't know about how we calculate the development process let me tell you some methods. All of this measurement are based on average of a handful data, and they calculate it then for creating some bigger data. I have read a book of sir Abdul Kalam , here is how he had explained the development process, -
"What makes a country developed? The obvious indicators are the wealth of the nation, the prosperity of its people and its standing in the international forum. There are many indicators regarding the wealth of a nation: the gross national product (GNP), the gross domestic product (GDP), the balance of payments, foreign exchange reserves, rate of economics growth, per capita income, etc. In addition, the volume of trade, the share in international trade(both imports and exports)and rate of growth in both of these also provides an idea about the strength of economy and its ability to sustain the wealth created and to create more .Economic indicators are important, but they provide only a part of the picture, The numbers, impressive though they may appear, can veil considerable human misery, especially that of the common people, in this context, I and rajan have often discussed something I observed during my stint at the defence research & development laboratory(DRDL), hyderabad. I came across three persons there who became in my mind points of reference that called me back unceasingly to certain issues. Venkat had two sons and a daughter. All were graduates and employed. Living in the same area was kuppu who had tree sons. He succeeded in educating oniy one. He lived in a rented dwelling.Karuppan had two daughters and one son. He was semi employed. Could not educate any of them because of poverty, and had no regular dwelling place. Was it not possible for him to merely give a normal life to his offspring and not an unrealistic or extraordinary one? A reasonable lifespan, an occupation that would provide them basic comforts and good health care? This is our dream of a developed India."

So I think we should leave the old measurements and should start viewing world on a different scale. Let me give you a small example of average system flaw,-
Presume that there are ten person in the city. If the average of their wealth is a million, what do you think how much money each of them would have. 1 Million * 10 = ten million. Is that seems right, no its not. There can be five very poor or middle class, maybe the other five who are rich can have more than a million. So this is the problem of the average it gives you appropriate statics but never gives you precise results. We are still aware of GDP and GTP, while there are still some poor in our city who cannot eat properly.
                           For our current government they are working nice in both direction. I hope they will be able to fill the gap between poor and rich and also grow our development at the same time .

The coding of love ;)

They used to work everyday, competing who would work more efficiently, quicker and better at the same time. This competition made them enemy, they hate each other. The only thing they had in their microchips that they have to win, the more they lose the more the hate increased. This is the rule of a computer programmed robot, it works only the way it has programmed. It can only do those things that we have told it to do. These two robots were the best among others. They never made any talk, but they both understand the power of their opponents. The AI programming, Artificial Intelligence made them in this way so that they could read the moves and create their own strategy. The first Robot name was Naina, the others name was Rudra, it was just the name, they were designed in this way, The competition was about to make themselves multitasking, they both could implement themselves, program themselves, to be whatever they want. They were genius in solving the mathematical problems, they c...

Daughter is a daughter till the end of life

                        Each Girl deserve to live free A saying has became very famous "Son is son till he gets his wife, daughter is daughter till the end of life." We all have heard lots of things about humiliating behavior of men towards women/girls. First of all I would not declare them men although , but sometimes god also do mistakes. What kind of mentality those people have who doesn't understand a girls's importance to us.                                                                                   I don't need to explain anything, all of us knew the importance. From our birth to death girls make a great role. We get birth from our mother and after death the person who bury or burn us also took birth from ...

I like people laughing. I like people smiling. I like everyone around me to stay happy. It bothers me most of time when I see anyone struggling with their fate. Usually its hard to keep everyone happy. But It is possible to keep them satisfied. satisfy every one by truth and right that's what I think is an easy task to do.                      It become easy to stay happy when you attach your happiness with others. Then not only you , but everyone around you will help you to keep you happy, cause they will work for keeping themselves happy. World would have a better place without jealousy , money , greed . We all know this still we are unable to detach ourselves with these things. Anyway never stop hoping. Cause that is the only tool we got to face uncertainty of world. We all knows that money is not going to help us fighting with our future problems. May be for a while money will work , but later we need people to help us. Its ne...
