Changes in Making things !

The way we made things kept evolving through 200,000 BC till today, and will begoing on and on. We all know that things started changing rapidly; eventually manufacturing must also catch up with the ever changing world. Here are some trends and pattern of evolution of manufacturing systems. The evolution of each stage of manufacturing was fueled by different things happening to the world as the whole.
 

The manufacturing goals, perspectives and target customers are now at a different pace to that which existed several years ago. The pace of change has been fast and the near future will also be completely different compared to present situation. Social, political, technological, scientific, and economic are a few of the triggers and sources of changes to manufacturing. All organizations have experienced the effects of change, but it seems likely that more significant changes are yet to come. Many successful businesses understand customer needs, they develop product to meet customer needs, and they bring product to the market quickly. These successful businesses are able to convince users that their product will improve their productivity, quality and profitability. Businesses should not only be ready for change, they must be adaptable and flexible, striving for continuous improvements.

The manufacturing started from the revolutionizing stone-age tools. This happened around 200,0000 BC. Later the metallurgy triggered the usage of metal tools starting from copper through bronze and other alloys. This age was termed as Bronze Age, 2100 BC.

Triggers for Manufacturing / Industrial Revolution

Later technological advancements of the earlier twentieth century involved improvements in mass production through the application of technologies developed and utilized during World War II.  After the WWII the concentration on recourse availability was increased, which lead to the evolution of LEAN systems (Toyota Production).  

Ownership of Industries

“Economics of Sizes”: As the volume of production and purchase increases the advantage of production. This fueled the transformation of enterprise ownership.  

Fuel triggered evolution of transportation system, which in-turn triggered supply chain, fueling globalization. 

The next posting will be about some thing i think will be the next stage of manufacturing ...

The Shiva Lingam

Hello Folks, This week is a great week ... Great is really under rated for the things that happened this week, The people who know me know how my life is spinning ... 

Just wanted to Thank God ... & wishing for pure Happiness, Prosperity & Respect... 

Ok Guys... In this occasion of my happiness i thought of dedicating this blog post to spread a thought of Shiva ... the lord i love most ... 

The "Shiva Lingam" at Lepakshi , AP, India Snap By : Niranj Vaidyanathan

Lord Shiva is worshiped in the form of Linga. The symbolic representation of Lord Shiva as Linga dates back around Harappa & Mohanjadaro civilization (Indus valley civilization) as of historians and scientists. I personally believe that its origin is even before that period of time. 

In the Book, Linga Purana, States "The foremost, Lingam which is primary, and is devoid of smell, colour, taste, hearing, etc., is spoken of as a representation of Nature."

Linga means mark in Sanskrit.When you see a big flood in a river, you infer that there should have been heavy rains the previous day. When you see smoke, you infer that there is fire. Similarly Lingam symbolizes this world of countless forms of the Omnipotent Lord. The Siva Lingam is a symbol of Lord Siva. When you look at the Lingam, your mind gets elevated and you ll begin to think of the Lord.

There is a divine power in the Lingam, to induce concentration of the mind. Just as the mind is focused easily in crystal gazing, the mind of a devotee is easily concentrated when he looks at the Lingam. That is the reason why the ancient Rishis (saints) of India and the seers have prescribed Lingam for being installed in the temples of Siva. Its beyond religion, any one who saw a well maintained shiva lingam will always have an effect of his divinity on his mind, it dosent need the brain and knowledge of shiva or religion. Siva Lingam speaks to you in the unmistakable language of silence: ‘I am one without form.’ Pure, pious souls only can understand this language. 

For a sincere devotee, the Lingam is not a block of stone. It is all radiant consciousness. The Lingam makes me shed tears, melting of heart, raises me above bodily consciousness, and helps me to sync with the Lord.

What a great mystic power of the Lingam!

Practical Difficulties ... :(

Practical difficulties ... There are lot of situations were there are tons of practical difficulties. Has any one came across this kind of things. 

I ll share some with you guys here.. I can't do a few... that's due to the same practical difficulty .. a paradox :(

When we are watching a movie, the hero with a revolver killing all of the bad guys having all kinds of semi automatic, fully automatic assault rifles without time to reload. Shooting the guy with a sniper before he spots him ... defy gravity ... officially giving a statement "f*ck physics" ... OK guys a lot of these heroes have die hard fans, i agree that they are just doing it for entertainment... i don't blame you guys 

Next one is government employees and their million forms to confirm that its me, i am born already, i am not dead and what not .. :( .. what to do ... we have to obey the system (since its the stronger one) 

Political issues inside the work place... I know where the issue is .. a lot of key guys also know that root cause of the issue. But they fear that the system may collapse if the root is directly or abruptly dealt with. 

Now a days i am getting into trouble just by expressing what i feel .. i have to hide myself into something else  ...  I some time smile to hide my anger .. some times laughs to hide tears .. but truth is stronger ... it surfaces most of the times ... now a days my emotions are getting stronger than me ... i was like this while i was a kid ..  I have the fear of loosing what i think is more important ..  i don't want my emotion to be against me 

I wanna become strong again ... Please God Make me Stronger

53000 Years Wait !

Howdy .... Long time ... Hows things ... 

This trip we will travel across to Texas... a Place Near Waco ... where i saw a herd of mammoths. But u guys know what .. it was a little late when i saw them. They were waiting a little long for me to come and see them. They almost became fossilized. Ya ya .. i get it ... i was late by 53000 years.

I saw this at the place i went today .. 

There was a serious business was also going on there.. u could get anything ... literally ... he he ... Poop ... Dino Poop ... 

The mammoths were in a heard when they were all buried alive. And the kid mammoths were in inner circle with all momma mammoths were in the outer circle, they were being protected from something that happened when the whole heard was buried. That was a scary thought ... i believe that moms can do that for us.

Here is the fossilized guys ... He is about 40 when he was put down. See his tusks... they are loooooong ...

Here is a teen girl mammoth....

Head, Ribs and a Tooth ... that tooth was about 1.5 ft by 1.5 ft ... that makes a big mouth guys... 

See the full size painting ... a 5 ft girl was standing by it ...

Ok Guys ... Catch u in the next post ... 

Be good and Try doing some good till then. 

Ramayana Vs Mahabharatha

M Vs R

This posting is a tug'o war between Ramayana and Mahabharatha ... I am not so good at this but to my knowledge (i am sorry if i am wrong ) I am gonna talk for both the sides and leave the rest to the readers ... " considering Mahabaratham as more important than ramayanam is right or wrong? " ....

In Ramayana ... The god is born as human ... And he says a lot about perseverance ... I shows how hard u should try for your goals ... Follow your heart ... And doing so all the forces of nature will come in a queue to help u in achieving ur goals.  In simple words .... Standardized way of living is described in Ramayanam

The sacred Bhagavat Gita is a part of Mahabharata 

Yatha yatha hi dharmasya   Glanir bhavathi baratha    Abyukthaanam adharmasyaa Thadhasthaanam srujamyaham     Pavithraanaya saadhuunam Vinaasayaa chatruskruthaam     Dharmasamsthaapanaasthaaya  Shambhavaami_yugee yugeee ! 

This says that u have to do what u hav to ... If its based on Dharma ( truth) just do it ... Its me doing it and if it's not u some one else will be doing it .. So better do it ... 

Ramayana happened before Mahabharata. Problems of missing links in Ramayana was rectified in Mahabharata so it looked better. Since it came 1st it should have been the best one. First of its kind ... 

But Ramayana says that god had suspected his lovely wife... !!!  i dont think this is a good thing to say to the followers ... ? 

Krishna used many illegal ways to defeat the enemies... what can we say for that ... can u guys oppose this ? 

Both the books were targeted against different audience ... so we cannot use same scale to compare them ... As people usually say "dont compare apple with oranges". The purpose of Ramayana was different from Mahabharata, Personally i dont know the purpose of both of them... but the spiritual leaders know there is some key ... to the real origin lies in both the manuscripts. 

Both are different and Both are equally important 

I Apologize...  if i am wrong  

Believe ...

Believe in what you want ... Ask what you want... there is something above us which will help us in accomplish it ... but beware of what you wish for... it will be here ...

I heard this today morning on TV, a guy was saying that ... ya ya ... it was a preacher ... but he said only part of it... " Believe in what you want " ... But really ... if any of us ask something .... and believe that we will get it ... even if there are no signs of things happening .... just believe .. do what needs to be done .... things will happen .... the whole universe will come together ... bring things into place .... believe in this power ...

I would always give you a warning ... this is really powerful .... really really ... !! So be careful on what you ask for... u will get what you ask for ... just ASK WHAT YOU WANT AND HANDLE SUCCESSFULLY ....

Eh ... I don't remember how many types of wine we tasted after a while ... We almost spent about 6 hrs tasting the foods there ... For making things more interesting we started to rate foods we had at each country ... I thought of typing all the entries we had in this post but I it's a long list .. The best one among them was Singapore dish - lamb chowder with tomato chutney.. Second is a waffle from France ... In drinks ... Singapore sling bagged the top score along with a Belgian drink ( forgot its name) ...

The festival was brought to an awesome end with fireworks .. Its nothing to compare with .. I thought my girl was with me at that time .. It was so romantic ... I ll definitely bring my wife and enjoy the view ...


Around 17 countries in 6 hrs ... What do u say guys .. ;) Experience of life time ...
