Ramdev, Anna Hazare blame the government for corruption. but why?

Why do social workers and religious leaders getting into politics?…protesting against the govt is the laterst trend when we have elected this govt……..what makes you think that black money in foreign a/c is easy to get back…..america has tried all it could and yet they could not stop the flow of money into these “tax heaven” what makes you think we can do it…..even UN acknowledges it ..its very difficult if not impossible to ask a country to bend there rules in our favour…..why is it so difficult for you understand this?

anna is a great leader but why mislead the people, why support ramdev is his self motivated, personal ego, and show of strenghth to the govt?……the janlokpal bill can only be formed by the govt. sitting on hunger strike and encouraging people to go against the govt is not right….

I support anna’s cause but now the issues are more personal than national……

We are creating a situation which is very much similar to the situation in middle east and pakistan….and remembr it may look very “people centric”…but in the end, only the county will suffer

I support the first movement and hunger strike for janlokpal because it was heading towards a good cause….but now people seem to think that India is corrupt because politicians are corrupt…what about the traffic cop, the peon in govt, office, the electricty deptt guy, the school teacher, the shop keeper, the govt employye, the private sector bank employee…..well they may be your fathers and mothers and uncle or aunties…..the govt os the system is not corrupt the country is corrupt…why blame the govt when we are equally responsible? …..its like a trend, if the prices of oil increase in the global market, govt is responsible…if the prices of wheat or rice due to floods in japan and australia…govt is responsible, if there is lack of monsoon, the govt is responsible….than what are we responsible for?…protests? dharnas or supporting a baba in his personal ambitions?

Why my intrest in WordPress or blogging is fading away

The past week has been very lazy. Not in terms of ideas but the execution of the stuff that hovers in my mind. A lot I want to talk about, share my views on and hope someone will read it and feedback.

1. Microsoft releasing info on “Wp7 Mango” update or the first official preview of “Windows 8”

2. The David Headley case in America and his revelations about ISI, role of pakistani terror groups and its impact on India’s political scene.

3. Sadhu’s and the social workers class of politicans. Baba Ramdev now demading or rather warning government about corruption or matters that he feels are enough to remove poverty from India.

4. D9 conference where some Eric Schumdt thinks there are 4 companies in the IT world. Google, Facebook, Apple, Amazon. He not only ignored the biggest of them all, Microsoft. But forgot to accept defeat to facebook in the battle that has not yet started, social search or target advertisements.

5. And my favourite: EPL, end of football season and Barcelona proving that its the favoured son of UEFA.

Now the real question for me is: can I write on all these issues that are so dear to or should I accept it is too late to publish something which by now may be already analyzed to its core. And the fact that no meaningful reader is coming to my blog to read, but there is hope. So I guess I should do something about each of them. The issues are close to my heart and thats the reaon I am on the site, on this blog. But, the fact also remains that I am not learning anything from my efforts here. Unless and Untill I am able to get some meaningfull readers how am I supposed to improve and gain better understanding. And then come my favourite line to end all of thid dilema

“HOPE FLOATS”

Mukesh Ambani and his big “loot”

Reliance Industries Ltd. is a big name in India’s economic rise. Dhirubhai Ambani, an ordinary Gujurati how knew how to tilt the system to his own advantage and get the best out of each and every loop hole that existed. Ambani and his two sons in 90’s built up the largest corporate house in India. They know owned the largest listed company in Indian stock market. Mukesh Ambani, Dhirubhai Ambani’s eldest son took over the company and started building up an even more corrupt and evil business house untill he and his younger brother Anil Ambani decided, they cannot eat the country as being united, instead do that seprately. In came another of the “Reliance’s” ADAG, Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group which started listed companies that were not even operational and borrwing investors money, than delist the company at a premium price and earn good money out of eat. But today, we will talk about the big brother, Mr. Mukesh Ambani. the 5th richest man in the world living in the city which has the largest slum population in any top tier city of the world. He owns the world’s first “billion dollar house” which he has valued himself and has conviced everyone else that a house that was built with the total cost of less than 100 million is worth 10 times more because of the location and because he owns it. Mukesh Ambani owns the RIL, the largest company in India and he owns a cool 55% stake in the company. How he managed such a high stake, simply he wants to so nobody argues. RIL recently has been in news due to its falling output in one of the major gas and oil reserves of India, which they operate under government conditions.

The KG D6 block, which is operated by RIL is witnessing a huge shortfall in production due to “technical difficulties”, the same block which Mr. Mukesh Ambani sold 30% of RIL’s stake to BP for a cool 10 billion. Now, the point is, why would BP invest 10 billion in a oil field which is having difficulties managing the oil output. It doesnot make any business sense, unless, RIl has some other ideas.

The theory is RIL is not happy with the pricing model under which it operates, and hence they are intentioanlly maintaining the low output in the hope that the government will eventually increase the prices. Now considering the close relations Ambani’s have always enjoyed it is not suprising if this happens sooner rather than later and suddenly all the technical difficulties will be gone. The second point here is that, the agreement with Indian government is once the cost of establishing the plant is met, RIL will share the revenues with the government, so if there are technical difficulties, it means more capital requirement or more funds and hence, more time to keep the fields under RIL’s control.

Now this is not the first time, Mukesh Ambani is involved in these cheap tactics. He often influences mutual funds and stock market analysits to make rather flatering remarks about RIL and increases the valuations for the company, infact he has learned this from his father. Besides he has harmed the investors more than any other company can and yet, RIL is regared as the safest bet in Indian stock market.

Mukesh Ambani is not a person who is satisfied with his greed, as he gets more rich, he wants even more. Mr. Ratan TATA told in an interview that he was very sad by the way Ambani was spending 1 billion for a house when he could have used the money for common good, helping the poor and needy of his own country.

One example, Bill Gates hosted a charity dinner event in Mumbai attended by Warren Buffet, Ratan TATA, Premji, Sunil Mittal and many other top Indian businessmen, the two names issing from the list were Mukesh Ambani and Anil Ambani. While Mukesh Ambani was watching his IP cricket team playing cricket, Anil was too busy to attend the event aimed at encouraging India’s super rich to donate money to charities and nobel causes. Intrestingly Mukesh Ambani met Warren Buffet a day earlier where they discussed the Indian business scene.

RIL and all other companies owned by Ambani brother’s are the epitomy of how much greedy a man can be.

Skype: A game changing “Microsoft” unit

Skype is a very popular VOIP service which also boosts the largest registered user base in the world, even bigger than Facebook. The latest data suggestes some mindblowing figures about this popular service. Skype is not just popular on desktop but is by far the largest mobile VOIP provider too. Skype has over 50 million active users on iPhones alone. It is very popular on android and its wp7 version is eagerly waited. On desktop it clocked over 200 billion minutes of calling last year. Has over 30 million users using it at any given time. These numbers are impressive and speaks a lot about the companies online power and clientage. Its also very popular among business users and is regarded as the best VOIP solution provider in the world. So Microsoft forked out over $8 billions for the company. The purchase at first seems way over proced but a closer look at the position skyoe enjoyes and microsoft suffers and you have a clear picture as to why Microsoft was so desperate for the company.
Skype gives microsoft instant access to a userbase that is far larger than google managed in 10 years. Add to that the facebook links that microsoft has and the hotmail and live service users and we have Microsoft suddenly sitting at the top of the pile. Lets look at some possible scenarios microsoft can use skype to its own advantage ( They done have anyone watching over them now):

1. Microsoft integrates Skype into its products. Windows, Xbox, Windows live, Lync, Windows Phone and even in Surface. This can be a  huge game changer for Microsoft if it can actually blend all these services together to its own advantage. Microsoft can do this and noone can stop them since google lives the same way. Windows Phone will actually be the hugest benificery and Skype can be Microsoftes online mobile network. Imagine a phone that checks if the person you are calling is on skype and calls him on skype instead of normal mobile call. Or, you can check if the person is available for call by checking his online status. Microsoft in a more aggresive way use skype as a alternate to mobile phone carrier. Use the phone sim free in a business world where most of the employees are using skype. Potentials are limitless for microsoft if it somehow manges to get into some sort of arrangement with the carriers all over the world. Tough but considering its microsoft, not impossible.

2.  Integrate it with facebook and in return get a bigger pie of facebook. Well this kills two birds with one shot. If they can convince the bad boy of the internet to give away 20% of facebook and get full skype integration into facebook, its a “kill shot” against google. Over night we have microsoft the “king of internet” with more than 1 billion users, the hugest online ad-base we have ever seen and a business unit that is powerful enough to take away google’s “bread and butter”. Microsoft can further improve the position if they can get twitter too. The company will cost another 3-4 billion but will essentially suffocate googles future cash flow, but than such a move could backfire as online community doesnot actually like the idea of “microsoft being the king with google running for cover”.

3. Create a global virtual mobile network buying Nokia or HTC and launching phones which use skype to make calls over the data network which can be wi-fi or data plans of carriers. Get into arrangements with network providers with a revenue sharing deals suiting each country. This can create a whole new “microsoft” alltogether.

Lastly, all these ideas may seem far fetched but considering microsoft is not using its position to its own advantage, I dont see any hurdle except for the fact, too many companies will suffer from such an integration and hence, enemy of my enemy is my friend can come to play helping google or network providers more than actually helping microsoft. At this moment, with mobile phones becoming more popular and powerfull, microsoft cannot alienate the network providers or get into another legal battle, I doubt they will do any such thing but one thins is sure, when BILL GATES supports and encourages something for Microsoft, it is best for the company.

Do you people think microsoft can do this? Are you excited about skype becoming more part of windows enviornment and our lives? Don’t you guys think, Microsoft deserves a chance to take some shots at google if given a fair chance? Are you too of the view that Microsoft should be allowed to do things that helps them rather than there competitor, they worked hard to reach the position of dominance so they have every tight to enjoy it (something US does so frequently)?

The death of a “honest” man

India is not just the land of sadhu’s and snake charmers but it is also the land of the corrupt. We have managed to increase the amount of black money in foreign accounts faster than the BPO industries growth in India. The constant media frenzy has ensured those who were involved in type of corruption in India mainly the politicians and the corporate baabbu’s stay in the constant flashlight vigil. Its a good, these people should be exposed and face the music of Indian aam-janta. But, this aam janta is  also very corrupt. Infact we cannot pick a handfull of politicians and held them responsible for whatever is wrong with India and the transparceyindex.org . We are constantly ranking way below exeptable limits. The common man often gets away with his excuse of inability to take action, but these common man do the same whenever there is an opportunity. Indian hate the system as long as they are not part of it and as soon as they join it, game on,bring all the money under the table. We show the corrupt people in all glory. They live a life of the king. Media will not show a corrupt man who is doing this because his salary is simply negligiable for his expenses. They will not show how a poor man suffer because he refused to be part of the system, the “honest man” I am talking about. I have never seen a newspaper with an interview of “honest man” who is living the life we should be living. Never ever we see a honest man sharing his views on daily issues. It’s not the case that we dont have honest Indian citizens anymore. We see them killed by corrupt mafia’s. Once in a while they are seen on the news channels with there dead bodies and TV news anchors asking some fairly indecent questions. People from India or those who follow Indian media are fairly aware of this. If I may ask you, don’t you think a few minutes should be given to those honest men and women who are fighting for what ” Mr. Anna Hazare” was fasting for and those who seek the usual 15 minutes of fame where cheering him. These fame seekers are probably, rather definately corrupt. I wish we could have a way to reach to these people who love there country more than they love money. Its not easy to do that in a world filled with greed and power to survive on love. Indian media enjoys tarnishing the image of the country on a global scale but they do little or nothing to show the India that is proud of its achievements and its men and women that still stand for it.

Anyone who is reading it, if agrees with me please raise your voice too. We need to search for these people who deserve the world attention not as a reward of there efforts but as an inspiration to the less minded youth of today.

India should worry about David Headley and USA not Osama in Pakistan

Since the day Osama bin laden has died, Indian media, be it new channels and print media is trying to blame everything on Pakistan from being unable to find him to America killing him without the Pakistani defense establishment ever knowing it. The media is in a frenzy in disecting every possible angle as to why Pakistan allowed and how they knew all about him and ISI’s involvment in terrorism related activities against India. Indian media wants US to ask Pakistan to stop ISI from allowing terrorist organisations sending terrorists in India. Woow!! ain’t it awesome. Asking Americans to go and kill terrorist groups that are India’s enemies and than they will do it. Well, they forgot one simple thing, that America could have done. Handing over David Headley, the criminal mastermind behind Mumbai attacks. Pakistan is accused by not only America and USA officials but also world over for its inability or ability to hide Osama but the Davis Headley case is open book. They know he is involved, we know he is involved and yet no action taken yet. He is the masterind of the Mumbai attack. both American and Indian intelligence have eastablished that he had links with pakistani terrorist organisations and he came to India under his alias name many times. He was arrested in America and since than, USA has refused to hand him over to India and instead have registered a case in US court which essentially gives him safe heaven for as long as the judgement is not passed and if found guilty he will never come to India. The Indian media should depict the inability of our government and defense set up rather worrying about Osama and how he died and what Navy Seals did with his body. Remember he was never anti-Indian, he never ever commented on India. So he was not our enemy unlike what he is shown to the world. The enemy of USA is not the enemy of India or the world. Our enemies are Dawood and his gang of killers. They are still free in Pakistan, David Headley and he is enjoying jail comforst in America not in Abu Gharib jail.

What do you think guys?

I am not anti-american but for this, every Indian should be pro-Indian…don’t you think so?

Osama: terror against terrorist

Osama bin Laden died today. Well he previously too have died many times but America seriously hopes they have killed the right Osama this time. So who exactly was Osama. My friends over facebook and twitter were all are so happy commenting and tweeting, as if the world will be a peaceful place now, we will live in harmony and there will be no wars. Too bad, the realities are just as far away as the sun is from the moon even though they are in the same sky.

Osama bin laden was born in the same world and he had the same things to eat as we all have if we are lucky unlike 50% of the world. Yet, we notice a huge difference in his approach to life. He had everything. Money, social status, secure future, family and loads of women around him and yet he chose the path less travelled and he became the best in it, worst to the world. No doubt he was evil but he was not what most think he was. He built the most sophesticated terror network in the world, al-kaida and they were powerful enough to fight national armies and run parallel government as they are doing in Pakistan.

Osama throughout his terror life was either with America or against America. This sounds familiar. He was not alone, many have tried the same thing, you cannot stay or be a American partner in crime for long. Countries realise the mess sooner or later. Osama always targeted America, American policies and American dictatorship on the world. He may not be intresting in saving the world but he was intrested in teaching America lessons. He was against a government that wanted terroists to be used against American enemies but if these same rise against you, its time to start the mass killing all around the world in the name of “justice” killing innocent civillians, children and leaving the left overs as handicap uncapable of even raising there voices. He died the death of a coward that America created, yet he was brave enough to challenge a nation who is the modern day Rome, drunk in power and self blief..

I don’t sympathise with al-kaida or any other terror organisation. I live in Kashmir and have suffered for 23 years and I am 22 years old. I was in my mom’s womb when the first bomb exploded in my town. But, I am not ready to accept the deaths of innocent people all around the word by American forces in the name of “war on terror” as justified. I donnot accept countries demonstarting the superior military strength of American defence companies. I see innocent women and children with destroyed lives, destroyed bodies and I feel the pain and the anger. Osama too felt the same or may be he was doing it for his personal reasons and he night have used religion as a tool to exploit youth and raised an army of trouble makers, but America and western forces are too involved in the battle of supremacy, killing countries and creating there army infrastructure. USA inspite of all its economics trouble never in the past 10 years reduced its defense spendings in the name of natioanl security and the defense companies have earned a lot from its tax payers. Osama made a lot of these people a lot richer than we thought they were.

Enough talk, I seriously hope if the one who killed 3000 is served justice, may be those who killed 150000 civillians are atleast called what they are, murderers and not world savers.

I seriously hope people who read the post understand the issue I was trying to address here. Also, do you guys think, its time we start talking about the real criminals? Also, dear readers, I am not anto- american but dont you think the nations top level is totally inhuman in everything they do?

The Biggest wedding of my generation

The wedding of the decade, the wedding of the most eligible bachelor in the world, the wedding for the luckiest girl in england and what not.  This has been billed as “the wedding event” not to be missed and hence, it will be live telecasted all over the world with parties thrown in different parts of the world to celebrate the “Royal wedding”.

During my days in London, the wedding was announced and I could easily sense the excitment among the Britishers and everyone around. They love the couple so much and that made me really happy.

Prince William and the British Royal Monarchy is probably the only real Royal family left in the world which still commands so much attention. Being a Royal is a tuff job and demading. They will always be scrutinised and analysed from what they wear to were they go. Kate will have a real tuff time as she has got to fill up huge shoes. Princess Diana was not just loved by Brits but she was adored all around the world. She was beauty with brains. Whatever I have heard about Kate, she seems just the perfect princess. She is sensible enough and has held on to William everytime and everwhere. She is a charmer and loved by the people around her. Most importantly, the Royal family loves her.

Rest all said, Kate and William will get into a married life with 24 hours and the whole world will change for them. They have got to be carefull in every decision they take and make sure there position in the world is rightfully utilised and the charity that the Roysl family in involved in reaches to the masses.

Now, for the wedding, I dont really see the point in making this very personal and private affair so much public. Live telecasts, websites dedicated to the marriage, media attention and loads of money spent not just on wedding but making sure it is as grand as possible and yet they say, avery private public marriage.

I am sure the whole London will be there and more than 1 million on the streets, even more on the TV sets, online and pubs all over the world. I am sure the wedding will be amazing and I wish everything goes as planned. I wish a very happy married life to the couple, wherever there is love, I feel happy and I am sure there is lot of love here.

Syria, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo bay or Abu Gharib

Two men held hostage for over 9 years with no trail and ofcourse no real evidence against them:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/apr/25/guantanamo-files-qahtani-salahi-torture

The doctors who examined the inmates suffering severe health issues insisted that there condition had nothing to do with the torture they were suffering but previous mental conditions:

http://www.alternet.org/rss/breaking_news/572135/doctors_turned_%27blind__eye%27_to_guantanamo_torture%3A_study/

A 15 year old boy pleading for death and asking for help, fearing for his life from a canadian spy who obviously is not concerned about him being a child, pleading for his mother

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/jul/19/guantanamo.humanrights?INTCMP=ILCNETTXT3487

======================================================================================

America has always been more worried about the human rights voilations in other countries and never bothers about what they are doing. They want the Libyan army to stop killing the innocent citizens, who in all innocence are carrying heavy machines, tanks and are capable of fighting a national army. America is more serious about the human rights voilations in Syria, they were more worried about the acts of voilence and torture done by Saddam Hussain in Iraq.

But the above publications show us a different story, a story that is not shown on CNN so often and publicized the way 80 civillian deaths were shown which had over 5 top CNN journalists covering from CNN alone and that led to a full fledged attack on Libyan oil rich regions in an act to keep them safe from the government and thereby solving the larger puzzle about “resouce saftey” for many of these european countries and USA. Barrack Obama was given the Noble Peace Prize for saying that he will close the “Guantanamo bay” prison while no action till date has been taken. This is how powerful American influence can be. People die serving humanity and they are not even recoganised for their efforts and we have an American President actively involved in two Wars( Afghanistan, Iraq) leading another (USA supported NATO in middle east), whose inefficiency to do everything he promised can only be termed as utter failure of the “MOST POWERFUL MAN ON EARTH” is laughable gets away with almost everything he has and is doinf got “world peace“.

The above stories can be trusted upon and can be termed as crap, sensational journalism and a whole lot of other idioms, but CNN, ABC News, BBC News are doing the same things. The savere state of human rights voilations are sadly ignored by UN, which for most of the world in USA-UN. UN is more worried about 80 people dieing in Libya over 1000 deaths in Ivory Coast capital alone in one single day. For Ivory Coast, the UN says,”please maintain peace and order, they should not use arms against there own men“. I think these words could be used for Libya and Syria and Egypt too. We are lving in a world that is USA + USA allies+ USA colonies + USA targets + rest  of the world.

The prision photos leaked from the Abu Gharib prison showed some of the most shocking human rights voilation incidents ever recorded in modern history in a controled enviornment and that too government supported. The images show us just a glimpse or the tip of the ice berg and the mentality of US and its soldiers who have now taken over the crowns from HItlers and Stalins.

ITS PAINFULL TO SEE THE REALITIES OF THE WORL D WE LIVE IN and MORE PAINFULL TO REALISE THAT MOST OF THE WORLD DON’T EVEN BOTHER

The world we live in!!

How cruel realities are and how easily we start to live with them.

Japan has no resources, yet it is the 3rd largest economy in the world with companies like Toyota, Honda, Sony, Nikon, NTT are global power houses from this tiny little island.

China is both one of the worlds largest economy and under-developed economy at the same time.

India is the world 7th largest country with 2nd largest population and together with China, they have nearly 25 % of the world population living in not maore than 5 % of the total surface area.

Canada and Russia are both the least populated and one of the largest countries of the world.

USA is the largest economy, has one the largest land resource and least popultated countries of the world.

Africa has all the known resources available to mankind, yet it has some of the poorest countries of the world. It is the poorest continent in terms of health system, economy and literacy.

Australia is the smallest continent and has a very low birth rate while parts of Europe are witnessing negative population growth, and we know these places are rich.

Oil rich countries have nothing but oil and that is enough for them to be the most prosperous places to live in terms of quality of life.

What I wanted to say was, the World is far from being perfect. Most of things I have mentioned have a reason behind it. People have come up with laws to support that everything is fine, but to me it just defies logic.
