Dr. W.Edwards Deming best known for his post World War 11 work in Japan. Quality Guru, American Statistician, professor, author, lecturer and consultant.
While I prepare for my management studies, I came across this great personality and I started learning how he taught Japanese to improve their industries and innovate high-quality products. In turn the entire process helped them to rebuild their economic power post war in just 4 years!.
His business philosophy summarized in 14 points makes the base of many managerial practices like ITIL, SixSigma, TQM (Total Quality Management). Lean Production, TPS (Toyota Production System) and many more.
What are Dr. Demings 14 Points?
1. Constancy of purpose
Create constancy of purpose for continual improvement of products and service to society, allocating resources to provide for long range needs rather than only short term profitability, with a plan to become competitive, to stay in business, and to provide jobs.

Do you know why do we Indian celebrate Deepwali? There are many religions in India but we celebrate Deepawali for different reasons. For the victory of the Good over the evil, for peace.
On this auspicious read this mantra from (Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad 1.3.28)
- Aum Asato mā sad gamaya
- Tamaso mā jyotir gamaya
- Mṛtyormā amṛtam gamaya
- Aum śānti śānti śāntiḥ
Which means,
- From ignorance, lead me to truth;
- From darkness, lead me to light;
- From death, lead me to immortality
- Aum peace, peace, peace
Try to throw some light on life and the truthfulness which is really missing on this earth. Try to find some peace which you might erode by cracking the crackers. May god give you all happiness in life. Happy Deepawali.

Chandrayaan - 1: One the of the most prestigious space mission of India. Count down has begun.
When we were kids Mom used to tell stories about “Chanda Maama” i.e Moon. One of the closest celestial object to the earth. In veda’s Indians call him “Soma”. There are lots of songs not only in Indian languages but also in other foreign languages which talk about Mr. Moon. We used to be and we still get thrilled to look at full Moon in dark nights. He is worshiped by people normally on the contrary during Ganesha Chaturthi he is cursed by Lord Ganesha and hence is kept away from the eye sight. Lord Shiva wears “ardha chandra” (Half Moon) as his ornament.
Today, I’m not talking about those stories but I’m talking about the next mile stone which has been set by ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) for itself. “Chandrayaan - 1” a mission to reach moon for finding out more about him, and his secrets. Also to see if we can touch him to create a new territory up above in the sky. An indigenous effort from the Indian space scientists.
I got to hear about this mission in detail during my visit to ISRO with some of my friends from Sampada Community. It was explained in detail by Prof.U.R Rao. (You will get to read more about our meeting on Sampada.net soon).
You can find more about this mission from the experts on ISRO website. Follow some of the links which I have given below.

PSLV on its way to write an another history in Indian Astronomy.
Scientific articles which I had started reading in Prajavani and other news papers used to amaze me about the wast universe and the technology created by scientists. Poorna Chandra Tejasvi, Nagesh Hegde, G.T Narayana Rao few people who I have been recalling again and again all in last few years once again since I started writing technical articles in my language because they have set some milestones for me.
18 days we got to wait for the satellite to reach Moon on its orbit before we start getting any reports. I wish good luck to all genius people out there working hard day and night for this mission.
