IITians and IIM grads seek career in spiritualism

IITians have started a new trend by opting for spiritualism as they future career other than i-banking or technology. Many IIT students are said to be working with the Art of Living foundation, Ramakrishna and Sringeri Mutts, Chinmaya mission, Mata Amritanandmayi ashram, Shirdi Sai Baba ashram and Iskcon in Bangalore. 

According to most of the IITians, spiritualInc helps them enhance they personal life and social service activities as well. It is an ice breaker for them from their routine hectic life. They said that during their course of life they had lost the meaning of life and life turned out to be very mechanical. They needed the sense of completion. 

It is not only the IITians who are exploring spiritualism; a large contribution also comes from IIMs as well. It is a new mantra that the management institutions are introducing to the students. IIM Indore has incorporated the Bhagavad Gita in one of its courses as a means of providing spiritual guidance in the corporate battlefield. The sessions on the Bhagavad Gita are part of the course module on 'Ancient Oriental Philosophy and Spirituality' which is taught by Swami Samarpanananda of Sri Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda University (Belur Math), who imparted lessons on "how to develop and channelize their spiritual and mental energies to achieve excellence in the field of business management". Many of the IIM grads are taken as strategy analysts for spiritual foundations.

Prospective managers and entrepreneurs see an essential connect between spirituality and business today. The followers of management philosophy do not shun the parallels drawn between Mahabharata and business. IIM-C got some lessons on spirituality and ethics apart from honing their skills in business and finance. Dalai Lama addressed the students of IIM-C on virtues and principles from various walks of life. 
Institutes are roping in spiritual so as to ensure that students get an all-round development and they should get a complete view of the society. They should not develop a business-oriented mind which can generate constraints in future

Android apps to run on other phones

If you purchase a new smartphone there are a couple of choices you need to make beforehand. The first is what make and model of phone you desire, the second is the operating system you would prefer to use. Unfortunately, picking the phone inherently means you don't have a choice in the OS it uses as they come pre-loaded.

Myriad is set to change that if you want access to Android on a smartphone that doesn't offer it as an OS. The solution is the Myriad Alien Dalvik virtual machine, which allows Android apps to be run on alternative operating systems seamlessly.

This is actually more straightforward than it first seems. While Android is a full-blown operating system, Android apps run in a virtual machine due to the security that offers. So if you can recreate that emulation environment on another OS, the apps should run as normal and without any kind of performance hit to the app's operation.

Myriad will be demonstrating Alien Dalvik at the Mobile World Congress next week, but the video above gives you a preview of it running on MeeGo using Nokia N900 hardware.

While users may find this useful if they have Android apps they like, but a non-Android phone, Myriad is actually aiming this at developers rather than consumers. Instead of developing an app for multiple platforms, Alien Dalvik allows an Android app to be developed and deployed everywhere. The user will not know an Android app is running on their other OS, as the virtual machine being used is completely transparent and the app just runs as if it is native.

For the moment Alien Dalvik is slated to get a commercial release for MeeGo later this year. Other operating systems are going to be supported and Myraid say they will be announced in the next few months and hopefully in time for the initial launch.
