Whats happened to Tamil Nadu??
The situation in Tamilnadu looks tense for the past 5 months ever since the Dharmapuri riots. Suddenly it looks like the entire state is divided on caste lines. The state which boasts the strides made in the social development suddenly falls back. Karunanidi & co which frequently speaks on ideals of Periyar becomes silent on the burning issues which clearly shows they are power hungry and no longer interested on their much talked ideals.
They said love marriages will eliminate the social evil called castes but now this happens to be rallying point for all caste based parties which till recently were just fringe players. They all unite under a forum and Mr.Ramadoss goes in air officially and says like Yadavs voting for Samajwadi, Vanniyars should vote for them alone. I have never seen such a power hungry person who will use the fault lines in the system for winning power at any cost.
Its a shame that TN government was like a sitting duck when PMK hoisted its flag on shore temple as if it was their citadel and government was taking action after everything instead of preventing such a heinous crime from happening. Let me come to my personal experience which i tasted first hand.
A guy repeatedly takes a ordinary raw mango without paying, when encountered on the third day, he threatens that he will wipe out entire caste as they are just four houses. The elders are sitting calm and watching the drama to unfold. when the shop keeper threatens to goto Police the elders intervene. (f**k these elders who have the responsibility to avoid this at first hand). I was travelling last week by taking risk, i see a van full of PMK people moving infront of the bus and i was guessing that some thing is going to unfold. As expected after few kilometers the bus comes under attack as stone bashing people throw stones at the bus taking the advantage of higher ground. PMK is known for chopping trees whenever there is a protest.
FDI in Indian retail – scope and out of scope – will Walmart sign SoW with India
So finally UPA government under Chidambaram found courage to open up retail sector especially in multi brand format for FDI. Now many people are up in arms against and in the same time there are lot of voices in favour of it. Is it going to really destroy kirana shops and no answer as experts are vary of it. We can hope that it will bring professionalism in that sector.
Currently in retail, many say farmers are in the receiving end as they are not able to get good value for their produce. People argue that farmers will get a raw deal as big retails build their logistics and procure directly from them. But even today farmers who are making use of their intelligence are earning a lot. Those who are averse to the current scenario’s sell them to middlemen often called in commission agents locally. So will they really lose their jobs, i say a big no as they can still act like farmers and can still continue to sell them to multinationals since most of farmers are unaware of this process. To make a change first in this highly globalized world education to the farmers on how this process works in a foremost thing.
Next i will come to kirana shops, they always carry a first mover advantage and a good retailer who is not greedy and reputation will still command a set of loyal customers even if walmart is in neighbourhood. Only thing he needs to do is reinvent himself in this changing times. All walmart stores in single brand retail in partnership with Bharti group are yet to turn black and keeps on accumulating losses. They need to pay a lot in getting a decent place in this high real estate prices.
Indians are big discount buyers and even if big brothers give huge discounts to get high footfalls, it will lose steam once discount is over. (In annual walmart discount sale in US, Indians are the one who stand in queue to enter like booking TATKAL tickets). So at the end they are not going to succeed.
Finally even FUTURE group under retail mogul Kishore Biyani is struggling to book profits and under heavy debts it sold pantaloon to Aditya Birla group. So odds are against them and no worry to Indian kirana stores and a happy ending for them.
How Indian federalism is threatened?
I was forced to write this article as i felt very disturbed with the latest round of geo political issues the country faces and it really threatens the existence of India as a whole.
The UPA government is grappling issues from across all sectors and i thought of highlighting them individually.
1.Indian Economy
With very high fiscal deficit, lack of political will for fiscal reforms, policy paralysis, crumbling GDP figures and IIP figures, etc,.. I don’t even see any place where there is sun shine. The scams from Coalgate to 2G spectrum is preventing the government from making any policy decisions.
2. Internal Security
Chidambaram who somewhat showed that he can make tough stance against terrorists by revamping the internal security mechanism failed to take state governments on board on NCTC as it somewhat appeared to be encroaching the authority of states. They must have better continued using POTA. Still Maoism and cross border terrorism is continuing unabated.
Coming to the recent ethnic clashes in Assam, BODO’s and illegal Muslim settlers from Bangladesh, the Government handled badly with local clashes spilling over and affecting the life of entire country. The Congress government is in dilemma to balance vote bank and national security.
We can’t feel pity on north eastern states for their plight, as it is self manufactured by them in late 80’s as they violently sent all the outsiders from their states and to stop the violence Indian air force bombarded its own cities. Since there was no free media those days we didn’t know. None ventured there to start any business and it soon became economically backward. The government should repel the acts such as only native state people can buy property in their states which is a handicap in Kashmir and the people can’t feel Indian if there is such acts. The oneness of India is absent in those places till that we will be split in various lines of ethnicity, caste, religion,etc,.
India Vs China : Reasons for the mismatch in Sports
We always lament our own Indians that they are not bringing enough medals from international tournaments, but we never realize that the root cause.
1.We Indians talk a lot but practically everyone sees it as a waste of time.
2.No one is encouraged for taking sports as a career option.
3. Chine is a big factory which produces products in a mass scale, similarly they train the machines (chinese athletes) with sole aim of winning medals.
eg: Their strategy in throwing games for easier fixtures in Q/F of london olympics
4. There is no factory in India like that. Even famed Kutraleshwaran who swam a lot disappeared from scene and he used sports quota just to get into Anna University.
5. Finally athletes have to overcome corruption, nepotism, scandals to come into limelight.
With many more ‘n’ number of reasons expectation is waste.
Reasons why you fall out with your manager…….
Lots been discussed how to develop a rapport with your manager, but never on why and how the relation becomes sour. Some experiences from my history.
1. Manager should be a leader not a politician.
2. AdiSankara in his Advaitha philosophy call the relation between guru and shisya as Shradda, but if it breaks you lose your interest in your work and slowly you will feel that something is being missed that is productivity.
3. Most managers consider you as a threat not as a friend and its was rightly said all your colleagues are friends.
4. He is the Lord and we are supposed to bear everything and should not speak a word against him or retaliate.
Most of my managers including my HoD were good and HoD once told me “If you do a mistake do it without a proof”, still i’m figuring what i did.

We the people and need for second swadeshi movement
Indians are usually people who want things to last long,rough and durable.But the real fact is that if we are used to things like that means it will not boost the industrial production in any manner.The some of the misconceptions that are prevailing in the society are
1.People are misguided that always a product that is costlier will be of good quality and its worth,but its not true always.
2.Chinese products are cheap but they are not long lasting thing and recently there was lot of buzz due to the usage of toxic paint in most of toys which we people give as gifts to friends and relatives.Beware of this.
3.The prime aim of globalisation is to use to make available all the goods to all people and open the closed economies.But now USA which is considered as champion of globalisation has brought a lot initiatives such as “BUY AMERICAN” clause in recently given stimulus package to ailing US industries.
4.So the alternative is to go back to our independence movement which focussed on buying Indian goods,”SWADESI” movement.
5.I’m not telling all you people to buy only Indian products but go for Indian goods in wide scale by gradually reduce the foreign goods.
A simple example is instead of buying fair and lovely manufactured by Hindustan lever buy fairever manufactured by Cavin kare.Don’t show brand loyalty here as both are sunscreen creams having same chemicals.
SAVE INDIA BY BUYING INDIAN PRODUCTS AND IT SAVES VALUABLE FOREIGN EXCHANGE
