I am working with R&D team, exploring new things, doing programming, optimizing codes, handling servers but on the other hand I have 5 to 6 teams which summate to 40 people. Handling people is art so is programming, each module demands time so does each member. The problem was not work, I can work both as a manager and a programmer but it was the thinking, a manager’s mind and a programmer’s mind. Do managers work? Do programmers like documentation? I spent almost a month with my boss which helped me improve as a manager cum programmer, in tech terms a Techno-Manager.

Techno part
A technical guy tries to solve problems and is concerned more with a module or in bigger view with a product. He wants to make it the best and so he works. He trusts no one but his mind while programming. He studies more to acquire knowledge. He feels bad if he doesn’t know the answer. He wants to be the best. He thinks he can handle things on his own. Appreciating others work is a little difficult as he knows he could have produced better. He feels meetings, discussions, documentations are not that useful. He alone can give it a fight and make things happen. He creates slow but long lasting impressions.

Manager part
A manager identifies the problem and tries to find the root to eliminate such chances for future; he documents it and involves people to find the best solution. He fixes it or asks a team to fix it forever with a complete documentation. He wants the things to be the best so he trains and hires best people as he know his own work will never make the project succeed. He trusts people and pushes more responsibility down the line that he can take more. He keeps his mind free and uses others knowledge to make things work. He knows someone in his team will know it better and feels proud to promote him while answering it. He wants to have the best team and he is not better than his team. He is there to co-ordinate and is incomplete without his team. He appreciates every work as he knows it will produce better work. He knows meeting will transfer knowledge, discussion will help him understand the team’s problem and documentation will help his team operate without his time. He feels helpless without a team. He strikes hard with quick but short impressions.

I wish I could write more things on both part but as we say neither I am an ideal communist nor a complete congressman. We have both the qualities but changing our thinking process is very important.

I believe a programmer in himself is more efficient than a manager but a manger is more effective that a programmer. I prefer to be more effective rather efficient.

10 golden rules:

1. Start developing people.
2. Push the responsibilities (just not work) down, you will see people performing much above your expectation. Believe in people.
3. Improve culture, document things. Do not teach one but teach the one who is with you now and one who will join you after a year. This can happen only with documentation.
4. Hire best people (the most imp thing for sure), fire bad ones. Do not waste time on inefficient people. This will help you and the person too.
5. Appreciate people and a 24 carrot manager can create many good programmers.
6. Do not teach them how to do, tell them what to do.
7. Only words will not motivate people in long term but yeah for short team do speak out motivational words. Share the dream, just sharing work can give you a worker but sharing vision will gain you a missionary if not visionary.
8. Never under-estimate yourself, people are not great because they are born like that but they are great because they are molded like that. (I am not starting the debate again, “Are leaders born or developed�?, I know I debated hours on it).
9. Share your problems with others.
10. Paper and Pen will work better than a 1GB laptop to solve complexities.

GALLE: Retiring world bowling record holder Muttiah Muralidaran of Sri Lanka reached the 800-wicket mark with his last delivery in Test cricket on Thursday.

The off-spinner, 38, had last man Pragyan Ojha caught at slip by Mahela Jayawardene to terminate India’s second innings after lunch on the final day of the first Test at the Galle International Stadium.

Muralidaran, who has more Test and one-day (515) wickets than any bowler in history, will retire from Test cricket after the match.

India, who were made to follow on 244 runs behind, were all out for 338 in their second knock.

Sri Lanka need 95 to win the Test and take the lead in the three-match series.

Alok Bharadwaj of Hidden Reflex, a software firm based in Bangalore, India, has developed and announced the first-ever Indian web browser which is also the world’s first web browser to feature built-in antivirus and anti-phishing protection – that’s something unheard of, right?

That’s not the only thing which is new –  the Epic browser features a unique browser layout design which is customized to suit the Indian browsing traits. It allows tabbed-browsing with tabs lined-up at the top, just as you’d expect  to see in Firefox or Opera web browsers.

An integrated side bar on the left provides you quick access to a wide range of tools including some integrated apps like orkut, facebook and twitter which are undoubtedly the most favorite social networking sites preferred by the Indian web-goers.

The sidebar also allows one-touch access to the browser’s integrated anti-virus which scans downloads automatically and kills viruses, if any. Furthermore, widgets like google maps, skins, jobs, news, gmail, yahoo, games and many more are also included.

There are to-do and notes apps which allow you to keep things noted and organized. The Epic browser also boasts an inbuilt document editor which  allows you to edit/compose documents on the go while the My Computer button allows you to access the files on your disk without navigation away from the browser.

The Epic web browser can be customized with over 1500 free applications

that integrate into the browser to add to its functionality. The Indic app in the browser lets you type in about 12 Indian languages.

Also, you can watch videos in a small window pane inside the browser as you check your mail or browse the web without having to switch the tab or navigate to another page.We’ve also noticed that the browser automatically detects if there are any embedded videos on the page and prompts for permission whether to play it in the sidepane or elsewhere.

The Epic web browser is developed on Mozilla Firefox and therefore supports about 10,000 firefox plug-ins which can be installed on the browser. Support for most popular apps including yahoomessenger, cricinfo which provides online cricket scores, bookmyshow for movie-goers and hundreds more of the likes have also been included.

Epic is the first Indian browser and certainly one of the most powerful web browsers out there yet. Don’t just take our word for it, you may want to try this browser with antivirus yourself. It’s absolutely free.

Ashwin admits he never got an answer, or a logical explanation, to the query, though he has managed to tour with Team India for some time and made his international debut recently. On Monday, the selectors finally responded by including two specialist off-spinners � Harbhajan and Ashwin � in the squad for the upcoming Asia Cup in Sri Lanka.

Ashwin’s selection adds another interesting angle to the squad. The tweaker earned his fame with his ability to bowl the ‘carrom ball’, incidentally discovered in the last Asia Cup final as Sri Lanka’s Ajantha Mendis dismantled India. A year after coming to terms with the mystery bowler, India are ready to unleash their own indigenous version.

While Ashwin versus Mendis, or Ashwin and Harbhajan in tandem, will remain a highlight, Yuvraj Singh � rather his exclusion from the squad � has grabbed most of the attention. The squad, announced in Delhi after a two hour deliberation, also includes left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha.

Calling on board: specialists

After an obsession with bits-and-pieces players and part-time bowlers, the selectors have gone for a revamp and decided to hand over the job to specialists. The team has seven genuine bowling options, and an all-rounder in Ravindra Jadeja cuts the team exactly in half between batting and bowling specialists.

The conditions in Dambulla require expertise � the low stands, open surroundings and the breeze are expected to assist swing, especially under lights when it gets cooler and the softer ball tends to hold on to the surface. This makes scoring a mighty task. With low-scoring being the norm there, the Asia Cup has provided ample scope and reason to adopt a specialists-only policy that Australia and England have endorsed successfully.

Experience back in roll call

While Sachin Tendulkar sent a late request to be omitted, as he is enjoying a vacation with his family ahead of a gruelling season, Yusuf Pathan didn’t justify a recall on his performance.

Gautam Gambhir, Zaheer Khan, Ashish Nehra, Dhoni, Harbhajan, Virender Sehwag and Praveen Kumar are all back � the last two after recuperating from injuries. Ashok Dinda, despite an average series in Zimbabwe, retains a spot, largely due to his ability to swing and bowl at 140 kmph+ speed, as the last in the pace quartet. Dhoni’s Jharkhand state mate Saurabh Tiwary also earned his maiden India call. The selectors also resisted the temptation to include Sreesanth and Ishant Sharma on reputation. Wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik and batsman Murali Vijay faced the axe after failing to grab the opportunities.

Squad: MS Dhoni (captain), Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, Harbhajan Singh, Praveen Kumar, Zaheer Khan, Ashish Nehra, Pragyan Ojha, Ashok Dinda, Ravichandran Ashwin, Saurabh Tiwary
