An Inspirational Poem by Mr. Harivansh Rai Bacchan

As such i am not a passive reader of any poem stuff ...but by this poem, one thing has been cleared to me which our elders used to say that you understand the beauty of one thing either when you need it or when you understand the meaning of it.
A day before, i was just passing through the idiot box after having my dinner at my place.At that time, Mr Amitabh Bacchan was reciting the last stanza of this poem on some television-show.
Spontaneously,I liked it because i understood the essence of this and its importance in one's life And i could see the example of it.

A loss of nation:ysr reddy

Living in Hyderabad from last 16 months,A day always starts with a cup of tea along with the newspaper.But the day, 3 september2009 started with a shocking and disappointing news of the demise of one of our charismatic leader.
Like others,I also never want to start my day with such type of heartbreaking news.but the sound of Indian air force planes and choppers from the last day and night was clearly indicating that something is going to be serious(i am living nearby to Begumpet airport,hyderabad)
The destiny is destiny.No one can change it.with this news,the negative side of my heart which was again and again saying that it might also happen,finally won despite of my all pray and remembering of his good work for the poor and backward people of the society in Andhra pradesh.
Dr.YSR Reddy,the current chief minister of Andhra Pradesh,is now no more with his people who loved him in such a way that i saw on television how the people were crying for him.It seems like they don't want to hear this mournful news about their beloved leader.
He was called as the man who believes in keeping promise,that is why he ignored the weather forecast and went for his people to whom he had promised to start a new policy from their village.
As per my view, in Andhra Pradesh he was not because of Congress but the Congress party was because of him.
His committed and dedicated work for the people in his last 5years of leadership had given him the reward to work again for them.His unique and dynamic vision keep him apart than the other politicians.Although he was a doctor professionally but i think in real sense he knew the pulse of the people of Andhra Pradesh.
Now we all are going to miss such an educated and visionary leader in the democracy of our country.
He will be mourned by us,his family,his friend,and by the nation.....surely by the god too who dared to send his son into the unknown.

Global Warming: a durable and robust Swine-flu


hello to all,
Hope you all would be taking preventive action towards swine-flu.We all must.Remember an old hackneyed"prevention is better than cure".Good-luck for that.but what about the other catastrophe(including these pandemic) which are constantly heading towards us.
After a much hype of 'Kaminey',last week i thought to watch this movie.There, when i felt craving for a cup of hot coffee,i stuck with a poster of a forthcoming film called as"2012"(which Mr.Roland Emmerich is directing after 'The Day After Tomorrow' and 'The Independence Day'.

As such the place where i went to watch this movie,they call them self BIG ****** so of course everything was big, even this particular poster was also big which was just in front of me as i right turned from coffee house towards the Audi no-6.'A Horrible scene of a city where the earth has cracked form several places,buildings are falling, it seems lava is coming out from the surface of earth,everywhere is only hue and cry' Since that day, i was ruminating on that scenario,and suddenly a lot of questions started to come in my mind.What will happen then? What we will do in such situation?How can we save ourselves? How can we prevent it?..and many more,i was constantly thinking on this....I discussed it with my friends, saw trailer of this movie on YouTube.

later on i found my answer too: this is nothing but the "Global Warming".............
We all know about climate change.How rapidly our climate is changing ?Individually we can also find if we just compare raining pattern in rainy season,
temperature rise in summer and winter,now no more chilling in winter and summer are becoming hot n hot.
The statics are in the given diagram.(from http://co2now.org/)
then i did some study related to climate-change like global treaty,Kyoto protocol and others issues. Then i registered myself on PlanetCall.org.
Now i am a member of PlanetCall.org which is an initiation form UN Secretary general,Mr.Ban Ki-Moon,who wants to create awareness on this issue.There is open discussion on global warming.Know about it.Share your views,how you are ready to fight against it and take part in a mission of him,in which he wants 1 Million signatures in 100 remaining days of COP15.So i suggest my friends to visit these sites to help us in creating awareness.
I am passionately waiting for this coming dec09.Yes!i am talking about COP15 COPENHAGEN,UNITED NATIONS CLIMATE CHANGE CONFERENCE(Dec07-Dec18,2009).
Only this can really bring a sustainable change in the global policies towards carbon emission.
So lets create awareness among our people,and work towards energy conservation and save our planet.
Visit these sites to know more about Climate Change,Carbon Emission,Greenhouse effect and a lot more issues:

Exploring New Economy in India :" Social Economy"


After this melodramatic Recession drama, Can we dare to explore new opportunities in the market?
Perhaps yes! This is the time. But the next big question, where? and what can we explore?
The answer is here : Our next new economy is "Social Economy" which is in real meaning to strengthen our economy and our society both.
Few months ago, when i was interacting with an IIM-L guy who was here in Hyderabad for summer internship.We discussed on this topic in course of our discussion on 'new job opportunities in Indian market'.
Later on when i googled ,i found that it was a significant % in the placement pie chart of B-school who went for entrepreneurship.
Although I should not forget about Mr.Arvind Adiga's Booker prize winning novel 'The White Tiger' which depicts that India is the land of entrepreneurs.
In last few years,if we see the placement of top B-school in India, grads are following a new trend. They are showing their interest in diversified unique business ideas. These ideas are new wealth creator in the market.They are having their goal to create value for society at large especially the disadvantaged section.It is also unlike the conventional entrepreneurs who work to maximize only their shareholder's value.
Now in Internet culture, Social Entrepreneurs can use all tools of Modern Business-Technology,Innovation,Capital,New Management Technique and Free market.In addition to that they can work freely without any greed,without any competition ,only with unlimited opportunities in unexplored world.
There is one big doubt in ours mind about social enterprises that they are loss-making,grant-funded charities.But They are not(check out above list). Here,you can also easily find the best intelligent mind in this upcoming domain like Mr Kaushlendra(of Samriddhii),an IIM-A graduate, now helping small vegetable growers and vendors to get the best price. He started his business journey from Bihar where another such guy can never think to start his career.
But at least now he can prove that who dare to dream,They can also make it in real.

People are seeking opportunities in Slums,Sanitation,Women Welfare,Agriculture,
Education,Health care,Technology,Energy and from somewhere which we can also not imagine.

Just Google these names of organization from above chart in your leisure,i am sure, you will definitely get beautiful innovative ideas to do something differently in your life.(pls click on the above picture)

Consequences of Global Slowdown

Last week i was going through the exclusive report of Harvard Business Review, There was very detailed analysis on the future of global economy.I just want to present it in more simpler abstract.
How this Recession will act as a catalyst to reshape our world economy?,is a big question mark in front of us. Probably the answer lies in several interlinked issues and world economic and social policies.
In my last post,I have already given the latest half yearly GDP outcomes(as per IMF result Aug09) of the global economy which clearly indicate that the needle of global economic growth has been shifted to developing countries after this recession.the developed countries are saturating and that saturation is transforming as new contingencies in developing countries.last G8 and G10 Summit are the example of this where all economist and diplomats were emphasizing the new business opportunities in developing countries.
Developing countries are becoming relatively greater markets.as per IMF statics(Apr 09)-these will expand at 1.6% in 2009 where China' economy will be at 6.5% and India will be at 4.5%.while developed economy will shrink by 3.8% this year.
So what should be the next steps?
1. A growing divide: since the market is shrinking in developed countries hence there will be steep decrement in the export. To make it intact we have to generate demand in our own country or parallely we have to focus on new business areas in other growing countries(like AFRICAN Continent which is growing at 2% in 2009 as per IMF,and it also have a huge potential for export) where we can meet their demand and supply with our exports.for that our government must invest in infrastructures and they must reduce taxes particularly on products of low income consumers to maintain force in demand.

2. Return of family styled leaders: specially in BRIC (BRAZIL,RUSSIA,INDIA and CHINA)Countries,business is in the form of state govern or family oriented because of that they adopt long term perspective. driven by personal pride and national interest they don't dance to the tune of stock market.

3. A Reversal in M&A: since Recession indirectly bring the opportunities for the big fishes to eat small fishes(fish=company).but in emerging countries,the big giants must focus on small and medium size business for M&A, keeping their own monetary funding in mind. Tata's Jaguar and Land Rover deal could be the example of bad timing deal if they could not get money from the banks.

4. Sustainability: in last G8-G10 summit,climate control had discussed as a prime issue next to financial crisis. so now the policy maker must take it in consideration when they draft the economic policies. they must think on sustainable policies.for example: the policies for Automobile and Manufacturing industries must be drafted as per global carbon emission norms.

It is high time when our Economist and Politicians must sit together and they must explore new opportunities. It is true that it is only the 'Time' which will only tell us the real picture of recovery whether it is 'V' shaped sharp-recovery or 'U' shaped slow recovery.

Global Economic Meltdown and China'The Stellar'


“Buri Nazar Wale Tera Moonh Kala”. Thank god! Our Great India is out of global meltdown (officially).Although since the beginning; we were insulated from this melodramatic global event. There was a lot of continuous fuss about global downturn. There was a great hue and cry all over the globe because financial crisis had broken the backbone of global economy. Job crises, mortgage problem, credit problem, money lending all seemed out of hand.
Then, all the biggest economy of the world poured a lot of money in their country in the form of stimulus packages to maintain money flow in the market because proper flow of money in the market is the symbol of a healthy economy.Although the global recovery rate is slow yet it seems tangible. Its recovery symptoms can be visualized especially with the Asian and Europe market.
The economists are predicting that the situation will improve but world’s economic growth cycle will roll after 2010.

China
This year China will probably account for the whole of net world economic growth. China's GDP growth is projected to be 8.0% or above. Its economy grew by 7.9% year-on-year in the second quarter and is accelerating. China's performance is stellar in conditions where this year most major economies will shrink.
This magic is because of unique and indeed "Chinese characteristics".
China has a series of integrated and mutually reinforcing policies. There are few key aspects of it like:
• The first is the china's high proportion of exports
• Second is China's high level of investment.
• Third, a decisive point showing China has a "socialist market economy" and not "market capitalism", is its method of macro-economic regulation.
With its policies,there is no doubt that China could be next global power.

Charisma of Web 2.0


Finally the battle is won by : Web 2.0 for the millionth word in the English dictionary.
Well I had a soft corner for 'Jai ho'...and 'Slumdog'.......
But i think there is full justice with this technical cum social word.We can easily justify the importance of this word with its usages. Without Web2.0,we don't spend a single day on the internet. whether be a school going child, adult or an old person , everyone wants to use this technology because it makes everything quick to use like you can see nowadays at every website there will be virtual tours, forums,blogs,directly linked picture gallery with Flickr, Picasa and a new word of 2009 Twitter.
I remember the days of my engineering when there was a wind of 'Orkutting'. Everyone was willing to make his/her account on Orkut. slowly we saw Facebook, Myspace and a lot more....(In fact, as of May 2009, 49.83% of Orkut's users are from Brazil,
followed by India with 17.51%.Originally hosted in California, in August 2008 Google announced that Orkut will be fully managed and operated in Brazil, by Google Brazil, in the city of Belo Horizonte because of the large Brazilian user base and growth of legal issues).
Social networking websites which are very useful for open discussion,to find out place,person and anything.In forums, we can chat on the topics and take the reviews from the global users.It is such a wonderful place that can make friends from all over the globe and can also bring close to the long-lost friends.We feel happy to see our old friend on these social networking websites.
There are also a different type of categories like Linkedin:a professional business,career networking website.
Blogging: i called it as 'Har aadmi ki Aawaz'. With this, you are free to say whatever you feel. Use it now and put your views in front of the world.
YouTube: freely upload and download any video which you wanna do.show it,share it with your friends and family. it is amazing. even few News-channels are showing the programs fully based on YouTube.
Flickr: take photographs and show to the world. a excellent website which is full of amazing and brilliant pics around the world.
Lastly the new word which is on everyone's tongue: Twitter,a micro blogging technology.
latest IRANIAN President's elections is a distinct example of the importance of this technology when all media was barred in Iran. then, Twitter was the weapon of the Iranian people.It came out as the new face of media.All meeting, protest,rallies and all was being conducted through it. even not only those people but also the whole world was in contact with them through Twitter....
Now you can see almost all corporate companies, universities even our diplomats are twittering. where you can have their updates at every second. It is much easier than 'sms'ing.
These are just few gems of web2.0. There are a lot more which are still left to me to explore.
so Keep Blogging, Keep Twittering and Keep Connecting...........Because in today's busy life, only these are the helpful things which realize us that we are closer to others and make us proud that Yes, we invented something which is more useful for our relationships, our feelings and our humanity.

When will we say "It is enough"




Yesterday 11 July,World Population Day. Do you know that? yes, why won't you ? humko kya? chalta hai, yar.
i also know the same. really we never care what will be the future aspects of this exponential growing population. year per year, government is increasing its expenditure on human welfare and their development. It is a world wide phenomenon.They are doing their job but, but do we do ours? Do we even think about that? A Big 'NO'......except to criticize our government for not doing this and that.
mathematically, our(the people) equation will be-
y(people)= e to the power of 'x'(time)
i just want to depict it with one example:Road Transportation. Thousands of buses are added on road per year but still we find poor buses heavy loaded with passengers. whenever a bus come your situation will be like you are in a Bhoosa-gadi. It seems aadmi is not like a aadmi , just like other animal. then we cry for infrastructure. Now in every, specially tier I/II and III city, mass construction is going on. Take example of our national capital Delhi, no one can complain about road infrastructure, if some, that is just because of construction is in process. but still the situation in buses is pity. no one want to travel by them. so personal vehicles are increasing on the roads, then problem of traffic jam. the list doesn't end here.....it goes very long.
but come back at the grass-root level and find the cause of it, it is Us ,....'WE'.
Resources are limited and we are increasing day by day. can't we control ourself? this is high time when we have to think about our future ,our child future(not children.....i am talking about individual person....hope my message will be clear to you).
just imagine! in future one day your city is full of skyscrappers, a lot of flyovers and all type of facilities for you but do you think that you would be able to enjoy those.
take my words...it is NO, NO, NO. and Never.
because that day also you will be in queue much longer than today.
Future is in your hands. Either Give everything to your child to enjoy his human life or let him fight for even every small thing to survive his life......
because our future equation will be:
z(resources) = e to the power of [- y(the people)]

"Core" or "Diversification"

Last week, I was traveling by a bus in Hyderabad. It was in evening, Thanx to APSTRC that they have much better bus facilities when i compare it to Delhi. and yes here People are also more civilized rather than those in our dear Delhi.I am mentioning this here because i used to get a seat in the buses...ya!!! i am not joking . Can u tell me how is situation in Delhi buses?...................oh god!!
So what could i do in those 30 min travel? Except to read a magazine.
in which i found a very humorous and innovative article to understand 'CORE / DIVERSIFICATION'. Hoping you have heard these terms before. These are very important from business point of view. If not, Read this example,You can understand it clearly:
Scene starts from a lavish hotel;AT a diner table, four guys who met with each other after a long busy schedule were very happy to enjoy their evening together once again.One by one they started to give the order for cuisines. but one guy gave the same specific order which he used to had at other places also. At the same time,his other friends were trying for some different which they were thinking to be distinct from other places.
Suddenly they noticed that this gentleman is placing the same old order again , they pointed out him. what man?? Why don't you try something else?.....on which he replied that he believes in 'core'.then his one friend replied "Boss don't you feel bored with this same 'core' food. See we all are trying for different dishes. Be 'Diversified 'like us. Opt for other things from this long menu card." but that guy seemed resist. Then his another friend asked him " Ok,if you are such strong 'Core' believer then choose one best friend among us ".
now he found himself in labyrinth.Actually,he did not want to hurt his friends. so he also went for 'diversified' food. After diner,he realized that why he was being fail in his business with his 'Core' idea only.Then he decided to follow 'Diversified' ideas in his life.
and he determined himself to follow it from right now. So he called the Waiter and asked him to bring the 'DIVERSIFIED Bill ' into four equal amount...... With this,all laughed loudly.... but they suggested him -"Brother when you go home , think about only 'core' wife, not 'diversified'....... they all mocked him. but now really he was so influenced with 'Diversification' that all the way to home he was dreaming for his 'Diversified' wives ..............

India ka faisla

On 16th may , Again a great day for a democratic country like India which sets an example for all in the world . So it was also very exciting for me to know who is going to rule our country for next 5 years 'JAI HO' or 'BHAY HO'or some other Bhaiya ji or Bahin ji. Since morning, i was stick to my TV, had breakfast, lunch there itself, parallely i was also one of them who were increasing the TRP of news channel....No interest in IPL that day(Although it is not a cricket game except high profile extravaganza, i am sure about that)
But as the verdict starts,hoping for NDA to come in power because a day before few allies from third front had started to move from their dummy fake place to their real place.
but they were also not knowing that the JANTA has rejected them before 16th. Sooner Lalu ,Paswan and people like Ms. Mayawati and Mr. Mulayam singh who were day dreamer for PM had shown their way out. people had rejected them. It is very shameful for Mr. Lalu and Paswan that they could not even win their seat from their home place. What they did for their own people of state.Nothing else except caste and religion politics. Now i think they should take classes from Mr. Nitish kumar , an engineer turned into politician who is doing development Bihar.Even opposition is also praising about him.
I felt very optimistic when i saw a single ruling party is coming in power without these blackmailer regional political party. This verdict will enhance decision making of government.It is really a positive sign for our country's development and progress.
Though there could be a tough task ahead for Mr. Manmohan singh because now people have a lot of expection from his government.
Wishing him good LUCK.

The dharma of 'CHANGE'

Recentally I was reading one article in Times of India. it was very inspiring along with full of information. i discussed few points among those with my friend in CDAC at Tea time.
............count down has already begun for 15th Lok-sabha election . you can see words war among all political leaders from all political parties. but how much it is relevant with the janta of india.
well this all depends on us that how much we are aware with our responsibility...almost every news channel...EC site ....and very brilliant effort from 'Jaago re' and 'Lead india' to create awareness among people of our country..........................good job man who are making it true.
well when i think about what will be the major issues on the basis of those people will vote this year...you know very similar to this was my topic of GD in my recent Symbiosis exam."Agenda of India in 2009".
1. Internal and external security....terriosm.
2. Recession proof economy.
3. job crisis.
4. Development of both rural and urban india.
5. Education .
there are many more but i think in majority people will vote keeping in mind of Terriosm and Development.
and this should be....because now Enough is Enough ....people are now more aware and cautious....about their and their children's future.....
now truly it is our Dharma to Change ..ourself...our country...and our future....

please vote for ourself...our children ...our country...

My first Tea FRIENDS...in HBTI


During my engineering days in HBTI Kanpur , in first year Nawab gunj was our favourite place. i used to go Nawabgunj with my friend Salman , Nikhil and Rajesh Chandra . Nikhil had three tyre scooty and we all used to go together for Tea, now u can assume how it can be possible that 4-5 people on the same scooty?....really those were wonderful days of my life...i must say that becoz of Tea , we all met and became friends....just because of Tea .At this point of time, we all miss Nikhil.
Second year onwards,
I had shifted to another hostel in different campus. where i met with two new guys who later on became my best friend called Hariom and Suhail. Suhail was my room partner and very fond of Tea , we all used to tease him for his exceptional way of working. overall he is a package of fun and have a very good sense of humor. We both used to cook and prepare Tea ,coffee in our room. slowly we became famous in our hostel. In third year we got different room at different floor but still our this activity did not stop . slowly-slowly all have started to ask him ...bhai ab kya pak raha hai?
During class-time in college, i had used to live with Hariom although he was living out of the hostel but we used to make plan to go outside for food and movies. we both had same taste in food. perhaps in those 3years we both had visited all famouse food places of Kanpur. Right Hariom! , do you remember MITHAS, MAC D,CHAPPAN BHOG,ARYA NAGAR,ASHOKA NAGAR ,GUMTI pani ke batase with Arvind....hahahaha that was the funniest moment of our life.
in this way , i found my dearest friends of life ... Hariom , Suhail and Salman. and that just because of TEA.
