True, but shouldn't learning be more about curiosity rather than fear. I totally agree with you that Real World tests everyone, not matter who they are. Thanks for the comments. :)

I haven't used IntenseDebate but i have heard a lot about them. I am currently happy with Disqus, so found no reason to change. I would say right now, Disqus has a slight advantage over IntenseDebate because of their Sesmic and Facebook Connect Integration. Apart from that, they are clones of each other.

Its good to know 3 YC companies are on the list. Some are really innovative and Disqus has been my favorite all along.

Re: Explaining Microsoft Shoe Circus Ad

Yes, very true, the ad was pretty complex for a normal person. I really liked the 'I am PC' ads too.

Nobody can beat Apple creatively, but i also believe Creativity is overrated. I also didn't think Microsoft thought of gaining new customers from this ad, for them right now it is about retaining those 85% or 90% of the PC users who are slowly moving from Windows to Mac or Linux.

The whole human civilization lives on Hope, we hope there will be a better tomorrow, we hope there is less war and more peace, we hope nobody dies of hunger. When we hope, we actually pray, some people hope to idols, some hope to invisible force, some hope to themselves(athiests). But we as humans will never stop hoping, until the world becomes perfect.

Re: Dreams…!

@pavan I am sure, it was nobody's dream to sit in a cubicle all day and type crappy code. Now you will say, we all have to make a living and we have to do crap work. People need purpose in life, It defines their whole life. Ask an artist what he loves, and he would say Art. Ask a entrepreneur what he likes and he says product. Majority of the people who don't follow their dreams are the people who complain about their jobs, their boss, their pay and all that crap. If they had followed their dream, they would have nothing to complain about. The reason they complain so much is because they didn't make the important decisions in their life(somehow parents, peers and practicality took over) and now they complain to tell that those decisions were wrong.

@azharc - What you are saying is kinda true. We evolve as humans and our dreams too. Just look around, how many people are software engineers because of choice rather than peer pressure or parental pressure. Dreams should not be associated with practical concerns. Pilot's might make money or not, but the very reason we all wanted to become pilot was flying fascinated us and we loved it. When we were kids, we didn't care about how much money pilots made. Just watching a plane made us happy. I wanted to be a soccer player when i was a kid, as i grew up it only got tougher and like a sheep i quit it and had a very good reason, soccer players make less money in India, one injury might finish the career and all that. Those were just reasons for me so that i could quit something and find a easier dream.

Re: Commercial capitals of India

One of your best blog posts and so very true. Religion has become a joke now because of this commercialization and with these entrepreneurial priests.

Re: Intelectual vote bank goes bankrupt

Nice Article, India is breeding a bunch of opportunistic fools. These Intellectuals are the one who make more noise when there is a bad government but when the voting day comes, they have one of the best answers "How can my single vote change something". Poor people are way more responsible than this Intellectuals. They would rather concentrate more on Obama, Clinton Campaign than their own state or country.

Fox Network is really at the top, this shows republicans and neo-conservatives outnumber the good guys.
