Blogger's Meet: An Acknowledgement from Indiblogger

It was my first chance to attend the Blogger's meet.Fortunatly, since i am in hyderabad and my blog is also listed from Hyderabad so of course it was on my card to attend this beautiful event on 11th April.I feel very charged after coming from this meet because i was filled with such innovative ideas which i never thought in my life.I met with so many kind of people from different backgrounds...from software engineer to doctor to banker to professor...to home maker and student. All with such a brillient ideas.People are writing on social issues ,economic issues ,senior citizen rights,technical blogs,about their life and life in their surrounding... even there were people who are writing on topic like cookies ..so now you can understand that in this world,there is so much around us that we can write on anything, just we have to concentrate on those things.Am i right? Actually ,we never think seriously on such things.But I am sure that if we will think on them then we can find something from nothing.

I like three things most -

1.Great Ideas: which are not only so impotant for our personal growth but also our society too. You can create any magical thing with your writing that i can understand now.I have the answer why J.K Rowling has become one of the top richest person in the world.

2. Twittering: Tweets tagged with #indihyd were streaming over the big screen live.
This was the humurous aspect of our meet and really i still giggle whenever i think
about it. On the screen, there were three vertical section. first one for the people who registered themselves,second for twitter and third,for people who had walked in the premise.
So in the Twitter section, there were live comical comments on people and on their talk.


3. Hitler Video: I will not write anything about it because it is complete in itself.It is just to watch.Although, i could not get Hyderabad-Hitler meet video but i got Chennai-Hitler meet video. I will very soon upload our Hyderabad-Hitler video because that shows Sania-Sohaib Saga with the twist of Hitler......Lol..........and here it is INDIBLOGGER MEET Hyd

There are few pictures of the event, hope you will like them....

M F HUSSAIN:A Chapter in INDIAN SECULARISM

There is a lot of conflict in my mind or I can say that i have few contradicting questions whenever i think about Mr. M.F Hussain.

At one side,he is recipient of Padma Shree (1955),Padma Bhushan(1973) and Padma Vibhushan(1991) awards which are symbols of the contribution in Indian Culture and On the other hand, He is into exile, shuffling between London and Dubai.

Now the question is how do we see this whole issue?What perception do we have? Should we let him go ( we are knowing that he has been offered to Qatar citizenship.) or Should we proud to have such versatile artist in our country?

I believe that we are forgetting something which makes us proud to be Indian.India is one of the largest democratic country which has sent message of secularism from time to time to the world.

Here we all have our rights to express ourselves in whatever way we want.

The Artists,Painters,Film-makers and Actors,they all have their right in their individual form.

They are free from social taboos.It is their imagination or thought which they express in their work.We must acknowledge it with broad minded views.

If we talk about his controversial paintings about Hindu's deities,then there are few questions which should be answered like ......

why do we not vandalise Khajuraho or some Hindu temples specially in south India?which are epitome of nudity.Khajuraho is world famous and we are proud of it and have made a part of our Indian history study.

So Are we being hypocrite in our own values? This needs to be addressed.

This issue also shows the lackadaisical nature of our legal system.This 95 yrs old man is having more than thousands cases against him.When will these resolve? No idea.

I think he took a wise decision in this regard.

But our government is owed for three things.... our Sovereignty,...Indian secular society....and Efficient Legal system.

Jago Mumbai-kers!!!

It feels really pathetic whenever I stuck with any such incident which are related to regionalism whether it be related to Mumbai or Australia.I feel pity for the people how stupid they are who fight among themselves.Some people do it for knowingly while some become a part of it indirectly,Thanks to some political parties (very honestly, Shiv Sena and MNS both)which as such do not have any political agenda or their ideology but are making fool to the people.
In Mumbai, whatever is happening with other states people is very similar to what is happening with Indians in Australia.How Hippocrates are these Shiv Sena /MNS leaders can be judge by their statement for Australian players that they will not allow Australia to play in Mumbai during IPL-3? Even at the same time, they are doing ill treatment with other-state people in their own state Maharastra.
Without going into other controversies over IPL or SRK which are also become( they are being forced to..) a part of this chauvinistic politics,I just want to join the voice of those people who want to eradicate this hatred within ourselves.
We talk about Global economic condition of India, GDP, Growth of India or Blah..Blah!!!! These all thing will become nonsense if we continue to fight in among self. we must actively protect our self from such non-social elements.
and I think the real answer to this problem,which can be given by none other than only Maharastrian People.They must positively act with their own senses,not remotely driven by these idiots politicians.They should set example to eradicate regionalism from this country.
In true sense,Jai Ho.....for Marthi Manoos

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.
