MLM business ends in a bad way

May 5, 2008 at 8:51 am · Filed under Uncategorized ·Tagged

May 05, 2008, Seoul: I happened to see some shocking developments over the MLM business that we discussed in previous post. I expected this to end in this way one day.

Check the news from Dinamalar.

obviously , 30K is too much of an amount. I hope my friends who involved in this would have recovered at least something. The article says that same thing happened to MLM IRs in 2003, but they become active again in 2006-2008 time period.

Article says there are few lakhs of people involved. All of them are Doctors, Engineers and other highly educated. As we can expect out of such system, most of the involved people haven’t got any of their money back. Kudos to the IRs brainwashing capacity.

We got to learn some lessons regarding this incident.

1. Doing due diligence before involving in any activity. We all use Internet and it won’t take much time to give a search. Literally all aspects of life has been documented in Internet these days.

2. Getting professional advises. Even though costlier, it would pay off if we take some professional advise before going for investing huge amounts.

3. Informing friends and foes. Before doing any critical, non-personal activity, it is suggested to involve friends. Even if they cannot help you 100%, they might give you some directions. That’s why groups like Invaders do exist. That’s why we need to involve ourselves much better, in all aspects of life. That’s why good friends are always needed in life.

4. Involving family and relatives who might get affected because of our decision.

5. Trusting the smart/hard work and value addition as a way to gain wealth.

6. Understanding that our time worth more than the money.

7. Understanding our potential and capability.

Guys! I am sure you got to say something regarding this. Please comment

Thanks for reading and sorry for the involved.

Tech Talk – 2 : KST Software life cycle

April 27, 2008 at 3:29 am · Filed under Uncategorized ·Tagged

Guys,

Everyone talks about software and software industry. We have been using a huge number of softwares, have we ever thought that a software also passes through several stages before hitting the end-user. Yes, Softwares also has several stages to pass through and these stages collectively are known as the “Software Development Life Cycle” (aka SDLC).

There are several models of SDLC namely
1) Waterfall model
2) Iterative model
3) Agile model
4) RAD
5) XP (Extreme Programming)

Lets consider the simplest software development life cycle named the Waterfall model. The waterfall model gets its name as the following steps are carried out in a sequential manner. Once the first step is complete, the second step is started. Only when the second step is complete the third step is started etc.

For any software to exist, there should be a definitive statement as to what this software would cater to. For e.g. Microsoft Word software can be used as a word processing software, Microsoft Excel can be used as a spreadsheet. These are the very basic high level statement that defines the use of the softwares. Given this statement, definitely a software cannot be developed. There should a definitive set of requirements. This stage is called the requirements gathering. This is the place where Business analysts (like Kottai) come into picture. They collect the definitive requirements for the software.

Once the requirements are gathered, then we get to the Analysis & design stage. Analysis & Design stage is started with the analysis of the collected requirements and then the design stage is usually split into two main things namely High Level Design (HLD) and Low level Design (LLD). High level design is the stage where the requirements are converted at a high level to the modules, submodules and tasks. Given the HLD, the developer will not be able to code the software as it will not have in depth design informations. Hence the LLD needs to be prepared. The LLD will usually contain the database tables, classes, methods etc. It will be the pseudocode for the software.

Ok, now I have the design for the software. What should I do now? The next stage is coding. Here comes the role of we the developers. We develop the software in accordance with the design. Similar to other industries, here also we have something called guidelines, standards, checklists, best practices and frameworks. Any code completed without testing is fit for nothing and hence we move on to the next step called testing. The Coding phase is where the technology comes into limelight. J2EE, .Net, VC++ are few of the major technologies. There are a lot of frameworks built in for each of these technologies. So what is a framework. A framework is a collection of reusable components. These are very much necessary as we need not re-invent the whole wheel again, rather reuse them.

In the testing phase, there are lots of testing types namely Unit Testing, System Testing, Integration Testing, Regression Testing and User Interface Testing. Unit testing is done by the developer where each and every program are tested individually. System testing is done by the testing team and here all programs are put together and tested together. Regression testing is the type of testing done to ensure that the new functionality has not broken the already existing functionality. The final testing is the User Acceptance Testing and done by a designated set of users.

Under each of the above stages, there is a quality process put in place. Quality is ensured by an internal review/ external review/ audit and inspection. The defects captured under the review/ testing under any of the phases are logged on a Ticket Logging system. Famous ticket tracking systems are JIRA, BugZilla etc. These tools are used to log defects/ track tickets to closure.

Once all these stages are complete, then the software is released for the endusers.

These are only very basic set of stages I have brought out here. Lets explore each and every stage in detail in the forthcoming sessions.

Groups back on track

April 23, 2008 at 5:08 am · Filed under Uncategorized ·Tagged

The news is we have crossed 100 mails for the month of April, 2008. This year was NOT really a good start for Invis. The number of mails plummeted and everybody seemed to have forgotten the groups. In fact, in the month of February 2008, we hit record low. It was just “9″, only single digit count ever recorded.

Luckily, there is a huge turn around. Still 7 more days to go in April, we have already crossed 100. This is higher than any recorded month of 2007. This is the fifth time we are crossing hundred , recorded for past four years. As per stats, 2006 happened to be the best year all around, with three century-months in that year alone.

We are doing good. Let us keep up the spirit and make 2008 one of the heavily bonded and best Invader years ever to come.

Thanks for reading

How Invaders Intelligence Bureau formed?

April 23, 2008 at 3:58 am · Filed under Uncategorized ·Tagged ,

You all know about IIB and its great actions in investigating and reporting the actions of fellow Invaders. But none of you know how it started. Here is how.

Monday Nov 20, 2006 2246 HRS IST.

Nana and myself were discussing about atrocious activities of one of the Invaders. At that time, there was some kind of news that CSO was having an affair with his maid. Here is abridged version of the transaction, that created IIB.

Me: There?

Nana: Yes

Me: See this …CSO’s attrocities (Orkut link of his photo with a girl)

Nana: Is this the maid girl? Post it to the groups with good subject.

Me: Subjects like Kaadhal Sirai, The Kumbakonam Passion, CSO vin JILPANZ would be good.. How is it?

Nana: [After Sometime] The upcoming Cyber Manmadhan-a short Report.. What about this?

Me: Rather than “short” report replace it with (c) Intelligence Report

Nana: I feel if you send this, it will get good response in group. Then I can reply,.. Aravanikura maathiri CSO va kavuthiralam :)

Me: Ok I will send the mail and I will put thanks for your title suggestion

Nana: Ok. Also you can have a Footer like “IIB-Invaders Intelligence Bureau“. Co-ordinators Madhu and Nana.. “Netrikan thirpainum Kutram kutramey“

Me: Thats cool man. I like it

[After some time]

Me: Check mail

Nana: Hmm., It is great. We shud give a designation, can be joint directors. You can be senior director and I can be secret agent – Information Wing

Me: It will be fancy to give out such things like Public Relations and all. We are everybody in the company

“Company” I said that unknowingly and thus IIB formed, without knowing at that time that it would get good recognition from Invaders. As you could see, Nana is the one who suggested the name and tag.

CSO is the first to get an exclusive coverage. As response, the most stunning display of atrocity was made by Pavalam in his following mails. Pavalam self proclaimed that he was PPP of IIB. That is Parakum Padai Pavalam(Flying Squad Pavalam). Pavalam’s mail provoked most of the Invaders. Ramba’s reply to Pavalam was really worst of its kind. He said PPP as Parakkum Paadai(Flying Coffin). Starting from KST to Srihari, everybody went on ravage.

Srihari, being so intelligent, doubted me and Nana in this incident. He said we were the worst guys around and appealed to Ramba to control us. After this CSO intelligently proved from mail headers that mail is from Italy and not Chennai. Later everybody got to know, that it was Nana and myself, who sent out a spoof mail from Pavalam’s ID.(Sorry da, Pavalam). We did this to make IIB a hit in our group and to cool CSO who seemed to be tensed at that time. This single unanimous attack on Pavalam proved the indirect powers of IIB. Nana and myself, even though felt sorry for Pavalam, were happy and satisfied and decided to continue our operations. After knowing the truth, everybody made an apology to Pavalam, which was really touching.

The funny thing out all of this was, everybody claimed a title in IIB. We received lot of requests for new additions, Ramba – Cheif Consultant, Research Wing, IIB, KST – Chief Investigating Officer, IIB, etc., Science Srini became believer of IIB’s capabilities and requested for lot of investigations. He also compared us with RAW, CIA.

Now IIB becomes one among Invaders. More on IIB in next IIB posts.

Thanks for reading. Apologies for those who suffered in formation of this bureau.

Tech Talk – 1 : Kottai Business Analyst

April 23, 2008 at 2:52 am · Filed under Uncategorized ·Tagged

In this new series of discussion about anything technical and useful to Invaders, Kottai has started sharing his first hand experience about Business Analyst job profile. Let us hear from the expert

Dear Invis ,
Good to write the first Tech talk. Topic for today is “Demystifying Business Analyst (BA)”

Who can be a BA?
Answer is pretty simple “Anyone one could be a BA”. Generally as per market, A person with MBA could become a BA easily. Most companies prefer people with B.E and MBA . They call them as Techno Domain; we shall talk about it little later.

Non MBA, who have extensive industry knowledge can also be an BA, but they lack certain skills like, they will know what to be done “ but does not know “How to be done”. This is the place where people with BE CS score above them.

What BA does?
Simply check mails??? Or work with excel sheets that’s what people generally perceive BA‘s work. It untrue, BA are generally responsible for the whole project or a module, they are sole responsible for the functionality of the software. For example take any banking system or a mortgage system , all calculations and formulae should be clearly obtained or arrived and should be validated once the coding is done , this is what they call as Functional Testing.

So initially first work of the BA would be requirements Gathering, next would be analyzing them.

Generally clients will not elucidate the requirements as we want, for e.g. Customer simply say they want to capture the customer details , it’s the role of a BA to break the general requirement (customer details) to more detailed one (such as Customer Name varchar(100), age number(3), address, etc etc.) .

What is Domain, does it require for a BA?
The paragraphs talked about BA of generic type, they could work on any client project.

But they fail in projects that deal with an Unknown domain e.g. Insurance, For this the BA should be aware of Insurance terms, business process, basically he should understand the insurance jargons the customer speaks. There are many domains to be specialized like Insurance, Banking, Health care, Logistics, Supply chain etc BA can choose one domain and obtain extensive knowledge in it. There are many international bodies who conduct certification in various domains for instance AII/AICPCU , LOMA , CII are some of the exams that could be taken to specialize in Insurance

Other Responsibilities
Developing SRS (software requirement specification)
Functional specifications
Use cases
Functional test cases
Review
UAT (User acceptance testing)
Proposal development
I love the job of a BA, where responsibility and accountability is very high. And sense of satisfaction is huge.

Beware of new MLM business

April 8, 2008 at 7:36 am · Filed under Uncategorized ·Tagged

Pavalam asked invaders to join a business he himself was new to. You know what he said

1. Confirmed profit

2. Your job is nothing. You need to put some money and stay calm.

3. There are branches all over the world and advised Ranjith and Danush to contact US office.

Fortunately no one joined. In a separate event, one of my friend with who I was staying that time, named RK, asked me to go out with him on a Saturday evening. He took me to a house which was full of guys of age group 25-30. They seems to be in high energy and looked like they were born to achieve something.

They invited me into a room and started some kind of seminar. Within few minutes, I understood where I was. The tutor was a guy with heavy north accent. We introduced ourselves. Surprised to see that room was filled 100% with software engineers.

As he went on, in the same way as Pavalam did, that is without explaining what the business was but explaining only the benefits, one guy in the room started asking number of questions. His questions seemed to be very valid. They are based on how profits come without a value addition. But the reply was not satisfactory. Tutor said “Chup Kar” and the issue diverted and people started cursing each other based on where they are from(Bihar etc.). It was very disappointing to watch.

Suddenly one hero jumped in and he started explaining things. He was very straight forward and explained everything. It was so compelling to listen and at the end I felt how could I miss something so great. Apart from that my friend’s(RK) friends, were really ready to put me under somebody. Literally they were fighting for me. They have shown me lot of proof of cheques and awards they have got.

I told them, I have a friend(Pavalam), who asked me first and at that time thought it would be better to discuss with Pavalam, in case I join. These guys were really upset. Then I called Pavalam immediately and shared my experience. Pavalam, being a very decent guy, said “Machan. Think panni paaru, enga comfortable ah irukko anga seru.. if you want to join with me, let me know”

Not having much information, I started analysing the business model, with KK(Karthcik Kalidoss, C CSE). And we found out that this is a pyramid model, which rewards only early birds. It is not legal in many countries. And after that I thought it would be good to share my experience before any other invader decides to join and send out a mail.

Till now I am not sure what happened to Pavalam’s money. Here is the mail I have sent for your reference.

What is this shit all about?
Referral Marketing/ Multilevel Marketing[MLM]- Kind of business/marketing in which customer refers other customers to consume a company’s product and gets commission for that.

Its the Amway stuff. You all know that. You give some amount of money to purchase some product and join this marketing scheme. Next get more people to join below you and you get commission for the sale you make and people beneath you make.

Is this legal?
Normal MLM schemes are perfectly legal and sustainable. But there are similar kind of businesses which are illegal in some countries and not sustainable.[Courtesy Wikipedia: 1]

Oh I see? What are those businesses?
This are two categories here. MLM and Pyramid schemes. Here is the description of how to identify the difference.
MLM -> People act as a marketing agent to a company. People in this network sell products to people outside their network. They make money to company, out of which, they earn commission. Eg is Amway. Even though you need to buy some amount of products to become their marketer, you can make sales to guys outside. Intention is to build a sales force network, which is clearly different from consumers.

Pyramid Schemes -> Here people sell the product of the company to only people below their network. So both marketers and consumers are the same. So as you grow your network you build very big network of consumers/marketers. People from computer science knows about an ‘n’-ary tree(if n=2 its binary, n here is number of associates u can introduce into the scheme). Simply put, the number of people in your tree/pyramid/network will grow exponentially, if everything goes fine. Hence the name pyramid. So sustainability of this business is less.

Why do you speak against Pyramid schemes? Aren’t they profitable?
Basic idea behind the pyramid scheme is to push the money up to the top of the pyramid(towards the root node of n-ary tree). Top 15% people will see excellent returns, which is really unimaginable. Some 15% will get the money they invested. Remaining 70% will loose. If you take a binary, at any level K, the number nodes in that particular level will be greater than sum of all the nodes above that level.

This means, if you are at level 5 from top, and if all the guys at level 5 work correctly and fetch people, then number of people at level 6 alone, will exceed total number of people in levels 5,4,3,2 and 1.

So, the growth here is exponential. Can anybody guess, what could be the number of people at level number 13, if each people has to get 6 people under him? Thats more than world population, if everybody fetches 6 people.(I mean a complete balanced hexary tree, where n=6).

So, If you assume such system exist, the number of people at levels 1 to 12 sums upto X which is less than total number people in 13th level alone. So straight out you can decide more than 50% are losers.

So unless you sell products to people outside, this is not at all profitable. This is like chasing people.

How to identify the Pyramid scheme and avoid it?
Okie, now you know the difference. Here are the points,
1. Product will be extremely costlier than market value, as the company has to pay the commission all way up to the root. Actually company is not paying that. Its only the people at the bottom of the pyramid.

2. There will be restriction on number of people you can have directly as your associate.

3. There will be conditions, that say, you have to have, some x number of people on both of your sides to get commission

4. An income stream that chiefly depends on the commissions earned by enrolling new members or the purchase by members of products for their own use rather than sales to customers who are not participants in the scheme.

All of the above concentrates on building a pyramid.

Oops!! So you mean Pyramid is bad. What about MLM in general?
(Warning: This is my opinion). This usually depends on the individual. Here are my general opinion about MLM.
1. MLM teaches you no skills, except sales pitch. So even if you think of starting something in your spare time, do something that teaches you some skills, like event management, NGO stuffs, developing software as freelancer, technical writing, paid product reviews, website development, mentoring, stock markets, clubs etc. Basic ideology is add value, get paid. Or get responsibility, get paid. Or take risk, get paid.

2. MLM money is ethical. But it may not have enough moral weight age as expected by some people

3. MLM spoils your relationships as you look your network as a sales executive. People would jump out and run, if you are too obsessive.

4. Its not really part time money. If you value your time, I bet, you can find some good usage for that.

So why are you telling this to me, f**king moron?
Good question.
I am saying all this, as Pavalam has given out a open invitation to all of Invaders to join his business. I don’t want to name the company, that Pavalam has engaged in. It seems to be a Pyramid stuff. So I want Invaders, to make an educated decision, if they want to join him. I also wish, Pavalam should get back the money he invested.

Apart from him, as this fever is spreading out fast in Chennai, you may get to hear this from other friends too. May be, someone may ask your suggestion. Show them this. If you want to join, follow a rational decision making process. Ask your common sense.

Ain’t you lying? How do you the company that Pavalam associated with, is doing a pyramid style business? What the hell u know about them?? It’s a certified, multi billion, international company, you know?
Yes I know, and I am not lying. The group of companies that Pavalam is associated with is as good as Tatas. But there is a difference in this. Before coming to that, I will explain the ‘business’ completely. Let us call this company X

X makes lot of products. To be in ‘business’ you have to buy any one of them. Lowest one costs 27K Indian bucks.Thats what Pavalam invested in. Business has to have some product to sell right? Here it is medallion. That is, medals made of gold and silver. On that, famous personalities faces are engraved. It is made only in less numbers, so possession of one means, you have one of thousand mints(pieces). X ensures that what you receive for ur 27K is original and they certify that. Medals are made at one of the best minting presses in the first world. Thats all the straight relationship.

X also has a scheme, in which if you get six people below you, and make them buy these(and hence be root part of your own tree with six people beneath), they will issue a commission of 11500. You will get this cheque issued from HK in the immediate Friday once you have this amount of people. Here the tree is binary tree. You will have 2 direct associates below you. And if they have 2 more each, you have 6 and hence your cheque. As people join and tree grows exponentially by power of 2, the time taken to join 6 more reduces to half and it goes on… till a point you get multiple of 6es each day, but getting paid on all Fridays. So this is what X advertises as ‘Wanna earn a weekly income of 30K Indian bucks?’. All money is white and you get TDSed at 5.61%(IT on commission, I guess).

So as I said, there is a difference. The company never promises you anything. The relationship is simple, like you are interested in the medallion and you buy it. If you refer somebody, and if they do in turn and if you reach 6, we will pay u commission. Great.!!

So the company is out of shit and clean, but our guys made a business out of it. So here is why I feel this is pyramid stuff.

1. I am not going inside the business for their medallions. So my motive is the referral commission.
2. I am not allowed to refer anybody to buy this, without getting them as my associate or my associate’s associate. I still can do that, but I don’t enjoy any benefits, which I won’t do.
3. Literally I am convincing some person A, to join under me, so that he can enjoy the same commission benefits as I do. Because, very less people genuinely interested in medallions, and I advertise this as ‘earn 30K a week’.[Why I have to burn my ass in my office, if I can do this?]
4. The medallion is over priced. 27K for 5000K worth of Gold and Silver. Even if you take the royalties of faces engraved and minting charges, I don’t think it will cost more than 10K.
5. So motives of point no 1, 2, 3 is to build the pyramid, but not to sell and earn my bread.
6. They do have web based interface, which shows the tree below me, but not up? What the f**k?? Why not show everything?

So, all symptoms. The catch here[and what could have convinced Pavalam] is that they work as a team. Here, ‘they’ means a team of really innovative[I mean it] people in the pyramid. So they do these
1. Team of experts, with good convincing power, takes classes abt this business and its advantages.
2. Formally they have offices(monthly rent of 30K), and conduct classes.
3. All they request you is to bring ur friends and make them sit in their classes. Thats why Pavalam is so much interested in making us to meet them, where ever they are[Us, Chennai, Italy, Blore etc]. You need not to roam around and get people for you. They will do it for you. At the same time, you won’t sit idle, once you have got your associates. Its really a great team work.
4. They say, they have earned much, and they want you to earn, and hence they earn again. Similarly, you earn, by making your friends earn. Wow what a concept??
5. This team has a name and its professional.
6. They have tree leaders, which take care that next 7-8 nodes below them are complete. So if u don’t have people, the guy above you comes down and questions you and offers u a helping hand.

It may look easy to get 6 people below you. But its quite daunting task. So u have to work hard, as a team, to get what u have invested. Leave the profit.

Great! I feel informed, What questions should I ask them, if I see anything similar?
Thanks, Here we go.
1. Why do u focus on building a pyramid?
2. Why can’t I sell this stuff to some 3rd party, without making him as an associate?
3. Why the hell, ur product is so over priced?
4. What if the tree grows skewed(One side goes on, other side flops, common problem in compsci data structures)?

Ask these urselves,
1. Am I interested in this?
2. What will I learn apart from making money(if that happens)?
3. Am I ready to burn my network, because of this?
4. What will be my image among my friends, relatives, if I am persistent of them being in this crap?
5. How much money will I get in the same average period, if I invest in MF, Shares etc.
6. This is ethical. Is this moral?

So whats the message for me?
At any point of time, u r cheating somebody or getting cheated[Courtesy: Janakiraman]. Learning is an integral part in financial success. Your goal may be top of the mountain. But,its the rough route that makes the journey interesting.

Thats all folks.

Biker Veerappan

April 8, 2008 at 7:02 am · Filed under Uncategorized ·Tagged

KST is one of the proud bike owners in our group. This incidence that we are going to see now is relatively unknown to most of the Invaders. Keep reading.

Some you know my class mate Arul Prakash. He usually comes to my room during examination and we used to do group study. Approximately 3 months after KST purchased the bike, I happened to meet Arul Prakash in Bangalore. We were just like that discussing about everything. Then we were seeing our Invaders group photographs. It went on and I was describing about everybody. Suddenly he stopped at KST’s photo. And he asked

Arul: Dayee, ivan unga group aada?

Me: Aamam, Ivanthan veerappan, CSE  C section thaanda.. Nee parthu iruppa

Arul: Ivan ippo bike vachu irukana?

Me: [Surprised how Arul knows about this] Aama, puthusa vaangi irukkan.. unakku..

Arul: Atha yen kekra, Chennai Mt. Road la, signal la ivan vandi off pannitan.. appathan vandi oota kathukiran pola.. athanala periya traffic jam aagiduchu.. ellarum ivana ketta vaarthaila thitnanga.. naan kooda thitnanda.. appa kooda ivana yengayo parthirukomae nu nenachan… ivan thana avan..

Me: [Laughing]

Later I confirmed this with KST and this is a true story. He, not knowing how to ride a bike, stopped and got bad scoldings from everybody. When you meet KST next time, ask about this.

Sabash KST, Sabash! :)

Some unknowns

April 7, 2008 at 9:12 am · Filed under Uncategorized ·Tagged

In the life of Invaders, there are some questions which remain unanswered. Those who involved in that issue will not disclose anything. Please comment if you know the answers. Here we go,

1. RRS – Ranjith Really Studied? On the Saturday night, after having party in Radha’s Inn, everybody was really tired. Ramba asked Ranjith to stay in Pavalam’s Den. But he rejected saying he need to go home and study. What happened that night? Why he rejected to stay in Pavalam’s house? Why?

2. Gobi’s first cigar – On the way back to hostel, on Tanjore old bridge, Gobi smoked for the first time before invaders. He also claimed that he has smoked numerous times. But the way he smoked(like thundu beedi) and the way his hand shaken, it doesn’t seem he was experienced. Was that really Gobi’s first time?

3. Bomber Pavalam – On the night before Puliancholai trip, Pavalam came out of smoke of crackers and got arrested. Who created that smoke? Who was the real culprit?

4. Bathing Beauty – One busy morning, there was a queue before bath rooms as usual. KST was taking bath and Ranjith was standing outside. After sometime, Ranjith suddenly got some water and poured it on the bathroom through the door gap. KST shouted back “Dayee Thanni oothata kulirudhu(Don’t pour water, it is cold)”. Ranjith was taken aback and got his first paradigm shift in life. If KST was not bathing then what was he doing inside till that time Ranjith poured water?

5. Kottai’s GFs: As we all know, Kottai used to get lot of cards for his BDay. Each one of them, being sent by a girl, Kottai used say stories of affairs with them. Is that true? Are they just friends or?

Who knows answers?
