How NOT to use Powerpoint [VID]
Posted by CeeTee in Random Thoughts, Tips and Tricks on March 5th, 2010
I have seen a LOT of bad presentations. Trust me.
I do not understand why people want to pack stuff with a crap load of paragraphs of a thesis, use obnoxious animations like fly-in, sound effects (How can you NOT have sound effects, right!? WRONG!), and the list goes on
This is something that I can absolutely relate to. And I am sure most of you would too!

Will India crumble and fall like the USSR ?
Posted by CeeTee in Random Thoughts on December 24th, 2009
This post is absolutely not biased whatsoever. It is basically what I know about the history of the ex-superpower USSR and what we people see happening in India.
I have quoted my points from the following post:
USSR – Millions of individuals lived and suffered under the seventy-year reign of the USSR, crushed under the dead weight of a stagnant empire.
India – Millions of individuals are living and suffering under a reign of anti-social elements, militants and separatists in a stagnant empire (e.g. Kashmir, Arunachal Pradesh, etc)
USSR – Gorbachev responded to the Soviet Union’s problems by introducing perestroika, or economic restructuring, and glasnost, an element of political freedom.
India – Indian government responded to Telangana’s problems by supporting the idea of a separate state, risking the downfall even further by another 4 regions requesting for a separate state for themselves
USSR – Corruption and bureaucracy was far too entrenched in the economy for legislation to make a dent in the economic crisis.
India – Corruption and bureaucracy has existed in India for decades and will continue to exist, risking a major bust in the economy in the near future
USSR – reformist politicians swept into power in regional positions across the nation
India – Reformist and Separatists politicians and groups are being encouraged across the nation, risking the division of India even further
USSR – Gorbachev’s decision to not use military force to put down revolutions in Eastern Europe further eroded the power of the Soviet Union during 1989 and 1990.
India – Indian Government’s decision to not use military forces to put down separatist groups and militants who create havoc in this country will most definitely cripple the power of the government and could end up giving the nation in the hands of separatist dogs, and the government would be just redundant
USSR – Non-Russian minority groups throughout the Soviet Union agitated for independence during this period. The Baltic Republics led the way in demanding freedom from Soviet occupation.
India – Minority groups in this country have been asking for freedom and a separate state/nation since the independence of this great nation we call India.
USSR – The tensions in the Soviet Union came to a head in August 1991 when a group of right wing military and KGB leaders staged a coup in Moscow while Gorbachev was on vacation in the Crimea.
India – Tensions in southern and north-eastern parts of India have been highlighted by the media to all the nations
USSR – Boris Yeltsin gained international acclaim when he occupied the Russian White House and faced down the threats of the leaders of the coup.
India – India supported the threats of non-violent, hunger strikes by various politicians, hence making them even more popular and gain more followers to support him/her, instead of facing down the threats of separation
USSR – Although Gorbachev was the nominal chief of state, Boris Yeltsin now had immense popular support and wielded more substantial power.
India – Although Manmohan Singh is the Prime Minister of India, Congress president Sonia Gandhi assured that separate state can be provided to Telangana.
USSR – Eventually, after 70 years of struggle, on 25th December 1991, USSR broke down into 15 individual states, ending the reign and power of the USSR
India – Any time now ?
Scary as it might seem, but the trend looks like it could happen anytime. India has prospered in almost every aspect and is turning into a superpower.
Like the English boxing legend Bob Fitzsimmons once said ‘The bigger they are, the harder they fall’. This was very true in the case of the great USSR back in the World War times. With the huge population in this country, I just hope and pray nothing like this happens to India and we continue to proper and live in harmony.
