Agile & Socialism

A post written 2 years ago :)

Communism and Cheguera Roy were running in the background of my mind after watching the movie "Left Right Left". This movie was recommended by a close friend. He told - "Its a must watch movie for u"... I was bit scared. Coz when friends make such statements, and if at all it turns out wrong, I will feel bad. But fortunately he was right :) I liked the movie. More than liking the movie, I understood why he told its a must watch for me. And that understanding made me a happier person for some days :) I am not very sure I understand big words like socialism and communism. I can't even differentiate between the two. But there is one thing behind these ideologies that I love. Honesty, trust, self empowerment. In these ideologies, a human being is viewed as a beautiful soul, filled with the simplest but greatest ideals possible. But the practical part within me argued it can't always be so pure. We have to accept both sides of the coin. And as we r seeing now, communism fails when people have money. I mean when everyone has money. Money has played the role of equalizer and now no martyrs are required to achieve equality. I believe this is the point where communism and its ideologies started rotting. coz no body had an idea on what else to equalize, apart from monitory equality or living style equality.
Today I attended Certified Scrum Master training. And immediately fell in love with the ideologies of Agile methodology. The basic promoting factors were "Autonomy, Purpose & Mastery"... This is what Agile methodology up holds. Leave a developer free and give him a purpose, he will deliver best product. I felt the thrill. But immeaditely realized the same thrill was there in communism too. It works for some time. When the blood is boiling. Then everything becomes mundane again. What will work for me forever. Like an actual "for EVER". High time I found that out. Guess it cures my madness. Just a hope!!

Fear!

I remember the fear now. Very distinctly. It was there all along. May be that is the one factor that distinguish strong from weak. Is it a sin to be a weak person ? Actually it is, when you consider your kids. Weakness of parents always affect children. The first receptors of all the bad things that follows. Does it help that I know what is coming ? Or I know for certain that down fall waits down the corner. Will it cushion the fall? There should be a mechanism. To print out NFL certificates. Not Fit to Live. That would be fun. So much for Monday Blues. The sadness dint go away though...
