Business Vision And Consistency

Having a vision is a great appraisal.
Leading the progression witha goal  isa tremendous application.
Reaching the target fixed is a fantastic achievement.
Enabling a consistency in the growth is  the culmination of all goods.



Many a vision  ,which had seen a glorious pinnacle did not substantiate its success for a sufficient period.
Many a visionary ,who strove in diligence  to clamber to the top, did not surface in the escalation for a reasonable period.
That which was accumulated ,as a result of strong mind and hard work, was exhumed  by deranged pursuits  and flawed hypothesis.
That which brought a myriad popularity and abnormal triumph, was diffused in the mire ,just because of mistaken representations and treacherous connivance.



Business , is meant for sustainabilty and surveillance
The opportunity knocks only once.
It has to be taken on the onset, nurtured with most attention and developed into a fruitful endeavour.
The chance ,has to be made the best use of.
The identification of responsible successors ,is the most crucial portion of a business.
An error in this mode of locating the ideal suitor , pronounces a catstrophe .
The calamity  will soon find its way.
The ideaology gets ruptured.
The distinction of a successful conglomerate is ruined.
The destruction will get through in no time.
Down comes the collapse.



The acceleration of the diabolism  creates an irrevocable fissure .
The sweat and struggle behind the growth of the enterprise become a nothingness.
The greed and idiocy clamber vigorously to devestate the visionary erections.


Thus mamy business have lost their quality and credibilty.

Behind The Scene

Greed and Glory on Wall Street: The Fall of the House of LehmanWhat prompts an action?
What forces a revolution?
What implicates a catostrophe?
What draws a result?

Do we get the real answers or rather true replies to these queries.?
Never, we had got it.
Never ,we will get it.



The scenes that take place behind the exposition  are the factors that work out the dilemma.
Economy is in a state of apprehensiveness.
it is a shadow of what it had been earlier.
The boom and the bust are not real entities.
They are the artificial creations of the greedy .
Greed has become an imposing quality.
It has wrought many disasters.
yet we have not learnt from the hard lessons.



The crisis in U.S was pretty known a full year back.
The sub prima crisis, and the selling of assets ,which have knocked down the financial has been known by the top executives.
Yet , they entered into such transactions, unmindful of the feverish trends that would set in.
It is the economy of the nation that would get affected.
The doers had stuffed themselves with fat bonuses.
So they ran high on such commercial equations, destroying the wealth of the nation.


The wrong doers got shelter under the legal arms.
legality has loopholes.
This has been exploited to the core by the chief executives.
Thus they became well stuffed with perks and roll backs.


The integrity is at question now.
It is not the performance, that gets approved legally ,is exact and just.
It is the doing, that gets endorse, by the conscience, that is proper.
Anything can be bought with money, but nothing can buy morality and integrity.


Having this in mind the policy makers should launch a programme to bring about a custodinal recovery to the economy which is wriggling in pain.

Warren Buffett -a characterisation

Warren Buffett ,the 79 year old investor who made millionaires and billioaires out of his share holders,who stood for high business standars, who was a saint among modern businessmen, has lost the halo that encircled his shining head.

He ,once said, "loss of money for my firm, I will be understanding, loss of a shred of reputation for my firm, I will be ruthless."

He, once stated, "derivatives are weapons of financial mass destruction"

He , once advocated clear transparency in every transaction.

It was all said and done once.
Now Buffett is a changed man.
He is a money spinner.
He is an icon for investment technique.
His predictions never went wrong.
Above all, he was remarkable for his honesty and credibility.


His voiciferous propaganda that Gold man Sachs has not erred, and his unflinched support to the greediest fat cat Blankfien, has pulled him from the pedestal.
Blankfien has paid himself $68 million ,while heading Goldman.
John Paulson has made billions in his sub prime deals.
Yet Buffett finds no fault in the approach of Blankfien and Paulson.

It becomes obvious that Buffett has succumbed to greed and conspiracy.
Money has played the magic.
This billionaire is no exception.
To safeguard his investments in Goldman and Morgan ,which are facing the ire of the regulators, Buffett has made an headlong plunge to support them.
The lust for money excludes none.

Economy-A Musical Chair

Remember the game of musical chair.
Round and round we go, when the music stops one of us is called 'out'.
Again the music is played, likewise one by one get out of the game.
The finalist is the one ,who withstands not because of incisive insight ,but becuse of sheer luck.


Similarly the economy is playing a game.
Call it a game of mischief.
Address it as a ploy of manipulation.
Term it as a tournament of deceit.
Dub it as as an impression of destiny.
Whatever it may be, it is apparently a circumspection of dubious estrangements.



The recession ,which set in late 2007 ,was virulent in 2008, somewhat disparaging in 2009, but had its collars up in 2010.
The Greecian woe , that has been plaguing the  European zone, has spelt a disaster over the entire world economy
The sterling lost its value.
The ever changing dollar has also been degraded.
As this is going on , the stocks and shares all over tumbled.
The wall street had a fall.
The nasdaq hopped down.
The Asian markets became nervous.
The European stocks, needless to say, got caught in the fire.


Turning aside, we find the glittering gold racing at a splitting speed.
It has set a new record.
It is now $1200 and more.
Silve , the first cousin of gold , is  also marching up,ut with controlled speed.
Yellow is certainly a dearest colour .
Silver is less dazzling.
Hence the top up of silver  is proportionately less.



Looking a little away, we get a glimpse of crude oil.
It saw , in recent times, an up surge to$86.
Now it has been tamed down to $76.


The music is  being played
Greece is singing a mourning tune.
U.K is rendering a political rhapsody, the conservatives playing an amorous tune to the liberal democrats.
Germany is chiming the saviour's melody.
The U.S. music is at times bass and at times shrill.,mostly a chaotic rhythm.
The Asian cadence is nonchalant.


The situation ,at the moment is that Gold is riding triumphant..
Gold has emerged winner of the latest game of Musical Chair.
Let us attribute a sweet  song to gold


"Gold ,you are the safe haven,
So take us to Heaven."

Buffet Says Yes,

Buffet endorses Goldman Sach's move.
His vote is for Blankfein.
Paulson and Co have done nothing illegal.
Goldman's profit has risen from $1.53 billion to $ 3.63 billion.
Berkshire Hathways investment is secure.
It gets $15 per second.
Every tick is bringing in money.
Buffet is well settled.

Buffet seems to be not perturbed about Goldman's  involvements.
His shareholders meet called for nearly 40,000 .
There was no room for the majority.
His share holders started making entry into the avenue ,right from midnight.
Buffet ,who has made his share holders millionaires ,is confident that there is nothing amiss in Goldman's business.
He has always advocated ethics in business and transparency in transactions.
His gesture at Goldman appears to be cynically paradoxical.
May be his heavy portfolio in Goldman prompts to talk  in ambiguity
If Buffet says yes, then everyone has to go by him..
Not this time.

There are are irregularities,.
There are discrepencies.
There are flaws.
They have been detected.
These have to be brought to light
These  have tobe carefully analysed.
Earning revenue is not the goal.
How you earn it ? is the destination.
Buffet's word is not the final.

Economy On Wheels

Business enthusiasm is evolving into a new form .
Evolution is a part of a process of change.
Change is part of a proforma of existence.
Existence is the end product of life.


The economic step down has pronounced a varied form of approach among the business peers.
There was a free exchange of transactions, after the opening up of the markets.
There was an instant growth in the economies.
That which is available in the North pole is freely tenable to the southern tip.
There was an extensive fanfare and a phenomenal growth in the financials.
This unlimited jackpot got an onslaught when the economy got twisted .
The deformation has mustered an unfriendly  and an undelectable peril.
The spirit of the businessmen got a severe jolt.


A two year compulsion of restricted commercials has opened an avenue of an ultimate change.
The reflex action has improved the cardinal principles that govern the sector.
The recititude of business  is a stigma that has been long forgotten.
The uprightness has surfaced now.
The integrity has been upheld.
The systematic approach , that was present long back , has been emphasised.
The alignment to virtue has been revitalised.
The enthusiam is in full bloom, that the business masters feel that they are in for another record production of wealth and prosperity.
A sigh of relief is felt.
There is a heave of relaxation .

Shashi Tharoor -Caught And Bowled. .

That which has to happen will happen.
Shashi Tharoor has been deleted from politics.
His involvment in the IPL cricket series has cast the doom.
Extending favours to his girl friend  is the catch. .
By misusing his powers as a Minister,  is the loss of the wicket.
Sunanda, his friend , to save him from the throttle, offered to part with her 70 crore sweat equity largess.
But the ignominy has befallen.
Tharoor has  been forced to resign.
The sweat equity has become a sweet equity.
The sweet equity has spilled bitter poison.




Many more scams and scandals have been buried deep .
Fresh exposiion will reveal terrific underhand and unimaginable propositions.
A sluggish excavation, note the word excavation , would get a  thorough deflection .
As the Tharoor incident gets known, an akin issue confiding Lalit Mosi ,is rising up to catch the limelight.



What happened to the rest. ?
Bofors remains a mstery.
Fairgrowth is still  unsolved.
Mayawthi's mayajal is a magic.
Lallu's accumulation of wealth is like milking a cow.
Jeyalaltha,s accruals is only a high end jewellery boutique.
Karunidhi's propotioning wealth is  family mutual fund.
Well, that is politics.


Tharoor 's sponsored tweet ,getstchoked.
He is caught and bowled.
That is cricket.

Iceland Frozen

Iceland is a tiny nation.
It is facing a huge financial crisis.
Small is beautiful.
Iceland, which is typically a plucky ,overleveraged nation, is doomed.
Its economy is in a perfect mess.
The nation's currency  and the three of its largest banks have collapsed.
This indicates that people have no money.
Importing things, even the crappy ingredients has become expensive.,as Icelandic Krona has become worthless.



Prior to the 2008 crisis, Iceland had achieved high growth,low un employment and an even distribution of income.
Fish and fish products , aluminium and ferro silicon are  the main exports.
Fish stocks have declined.
There was a massive fluctuation in the prices of  its main exports.
There appeared a voluminous growth in the manufacturing sector, software,bio technology and tourism.
Banks expanded aggressively in foreign markets.
Consumers and businesses borrowed heavily from  in foreign currency loans.
The recession damped the expansion and three major banks collapsed , almost causing a death to the economy.
Iceland's economy  was imploded like the twin tower.



The International Monetary Fund has cleared $160 million to rebuild the economy.
Britain and Netherlands stalled the process , as they demanded for compensation.
The IMF Managing Director  says that he is now confident of economic recovery, which can be seen in the middle of 2010.


The heat and dust of the financial downturn has been subsided by the eruption of icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajoukll on 14/April/2010
The ash clouds with tiny sharp particles have disrupted the  travel in the skies.
Economy has brutally  affected  Iceland.
Nature has ferociously slapped Iceland.
The small country is beaten up twice.

The recovery has set in.
Let us wish Iceland well.

How To Ovecome Economic Down turns?- Blistering Economy.

Economy is propping up.
It is a significant sensation.
But ,before we could rejoice on  a comeback ,we hav to seek through the ways and means to combat with the depressing trends and suspending analogies.


Countries have underwent similar trouble , in the past.
The Great Depressions were extremely pressing ,but there was an outlet .
The economies had their own policies , currencies and system .
The single did not intrude the number.
The individual did not force the common.
Thus ,the tide over of the crisis ,became effective and speedy.


Globalisation has prompted a dilemma ,that compelled a serious recession.
The Euro ,which became the official currency of most of the European nations ,is provating a real turmoil.
The Greecian disaster , is the result of the haphazard mangement of the finances.
But ,it is struggling to come out of the present destruction ,since it has the Euro ,as its currency.
Way Back in 1946, the U.S ,was in a worse plight, but in ten years time it emerged as strong economy, not because it paid its debts, but through the inflation and the appreciation of dollar.
That which was sold less in 1946, got a high price in 1956.
The dollar received a stealthy demenaour ,allowing a neat wash up.



There is a prevelant thought , that by increasing the rates , the laibility can be wiped off.
This is an invalid presumptuin, feels Krugman.
Hiking rates ,will depreciate the ,flow of funds.
The restricted outflow ,will once again bring a difficult business progression.
The expenses would be curtailed leaving the markets with no momentum.
This move will affect the primary market and the secondary too.
Thus the rocky tumultous erosion of recession will once again wash the shore.

Diabolical Business

Business is taking new dimensions.
We have heard about rags to riches stories.
But one such thing really happened a decade ago.
The story did not have a fairy tale ending.



Aravind  was moderately educated.
He found a job as an assistant in a pharma  distribution agency.
While in service, he acquainted with medical representatives, and through them with the manufactures.
Slowly he formed a clique.
His network expanded.
He gained credibilty .
He resigned hs job and started his own outlet "Deena Health Care".
The system got strong .
He spearheaded a movement , which involved selling outdated medicines and spurios drugs.
He discreetly circulate this expired pharmaceutical  products through 18.000 drug stores.
He hired henchmen  to take care of any ghastly outcome.
On one occasion, he just behaeaded a henchman ,who disobeyed him.


Aravind is now a billioanire.
He is a philanthrophist too.
He owns palatial houses in Chennai, moves about in Mercedes, BMW .
All is not well that ends well.
Aravind  a week back was caught by the centrel Investigation Bureau for alleged misdeeds.
He is under trial.
His wife is also to be imprisoned.
His net wotrk has been trapped.
His turn over exceeds Rs.450 crores /year.


Media has given a wide publicity.
It is told that he was trapped earlier , but was let out by paying heavy bribe to the authorities.


Aravind has done much harm to society.
By selling expired medicines , he has played a wicked game.
Gamblinmg for money is a sin.
Gambling on life is a transgression ,unpardonable.
How many would have sufferred ,after taking this type of medicines?
How many would have died after consuming these outdated prescriptions?


He has made money by exploiting the innocent, by pushing the medicine  down the throat of the ignorant.
Life saver has assumed the role of life destroyer.
Deena Health Care has transformed health into sickness , moreso  into death.
Aravind is a mudererer .
He has killed unknown, needy, and sick for money.




The world laughs at a few ,who interrogate the sudden rise.
He is termed as jealous.

The world mocks at a few, who note him with suspicion.
He is dubbed as Doubting Thomas.

Finally it is the world which lands in deep trouble and wades through unfathomable crisis.

Inundated Business.

Floods inundate land.
Frauds inundate business.


Agriculture depends on rainfall.
An excess of down pour destroys the crop.
A meagre  rain chars the crop.


Aim at sufficiency .
Both agriculture and industry should track production to the optimum.

The procedure in agriculture is limited ,
It is sowing ,manuring and harvesting.
At times of  water shortage, irrigation is involved.
The marketing brings in lot more problems ,like finding an appropriate buyer, who is trust worthy and credit worthy.


Manufacturing is  complicated.
It processes diffident syllabus and difficult strategies.
It also proposes a vast  reference to  illegal transactions.


Shareholders are part of the management.
Their participation is trifle .
Their rights are enormous.
Undermining their power, the management indulges in nefarious activities .
They squander, they plunder, they loot and do what not and what else to derail the smooth performance.
The core team  gains wealth at the expense of the sharholder.
Limiting the involvement of the sharholder to nil, the top brass segregate the profits to a sheltered area, and push forward a duplicated version of proit and loss statement.
The participant is tricked.
His money and he get into a muddy trench.
By the time he realises, the Chief would have made good of his burgulary,pretending to be straight and sincere.
The business gets flooded with raw deal of treacherous manipulation and mixed bag of fraudelent  deceits.


Inundated business has become the talk of the day.
This wreckless behaviour of the few has ruined the plausibilty of true business.

Arrest The Inflation

Surveying the markets ,is one of my frontier occupation.
The three months of 2010 has seen a vibrant spurt in the price index.
Consumer goods ,right from onions to rice have risen to unpredictable levels.
Construction materials from sand to steel have crossed the imaginable realisation.
Commodities like oil to gold have been hijacked.
Labour costs have reached the limits.
It is expense  at the risk of saving.
However much you earn , in four digits or five digits ,the end of the day you are empty handed..
Irrespective of the revenue consumerism has made a rapid foray ,leaving the bread winner in tatters.



Coming to the essentials, we have to control inflation.
Right! This is an unanimous alibi
How to imprison this ebbing challenge?


By adjusting currencies is a prominent way out.
Powerful should download some of its inhibitions against the weak ones,.
Juxtaposition  of strong  with mild.
This has to be done ,that too in an emergency level.


By hiking interest rates is a secondary move.
The flowing liquidity or can we term it as surplus liquidity  has to be withdrawn..
As liquidity tightens ,spending will  be fastened  fiercely resulting in less purchase.
As the necessity dwindles , there would be an excess of products, in the market leading to a fall in prices.
Inflation gets halted.
This theory sounds far fetched and less pragmatic.
It invites suspicion and apprehension.



The black economy has also to be taken care off.
High taxes direct one to conceal income, manipulate the turn over, and confirm a second method of accounting which never comes to light.
Unless the tax get subdued and subsidised, the rising inflation will not recoil.
This is the sure proposal to control inflation .
The goverments have to view this substantial merit before anchoring any other measure.

Business Manipulations

Manipulations ,over a time ,erode true business.
Business are carried out for profit.
They sustain the economy.
They contribute to the welfare of the nation with their high revenues and still higher employment.


Business ,has lost its credibitly ,with the modern rigging and mundane churning.
The avariciousness to pile up  wealth has gained an upperhand over the justifiable accumulation of money.
Real business earns profit.
It does not produce propitious prosperity.
True business makes you rich gradually.
It does not transform rags into riches overnight.



The trend prevelant is similar to grabbing, akin to seizing, a replica of theft .
It is robbery in broad daylight.
Thieves loot during dusk and mostly at mid night.
The manipulators of business, transact at noon, scrolling over their figures in paper.
They lend money.
They collect interest at a duration of a day, of a month and of a year.
They indulge in atrocities ,if the borrower fails to repay.
The brokers commit a severe transgression, by reaping high percentage as commissions.
The merchants make quick money, by selling goods in black, and also by distributing adulterated provisions.
The professionals ,medical , accounting engineering ,engage in malpractises to add enormous wealth.
The manufacturer evades tax, by susbsiding the performance.
The politician collects heavy donations in the guise of charity and under certain unravelled heads to fill his coffers.
The bureaucrats ,for their turn ,accept bribes to accomplish certain regulations, thus refurbishing their pay packets.

Thus goes the world, cheating one another, exposing the greed ,expressing unnatural logic.

Lifting the market

The stocks look cheerful..
There is a general feeling of  contentment.
Robust activism has taken a sway over the numbed delinquency.


The Asian markets are reacting to the global cues.
The U.S datas are encouraging.
The European system is subdued by the Greek tremor.
The Greecian set back ,has pulled the euro to a lowest level.


Brazil and the Latin American countries are making a strong presence in the financial  arena.


Commodities are in a stabilised prospect.
Gold is steady, silver slightly weak, oil popping up and down, and the other targets are also making  a frontier movement.
The manufacturing and industrial outputs are aggressive.
 All the roads are leading to prosperity.
Will the sustained trend last ?

Survival is in the hands of the credential properitors.
The remarkable significance of growth is to be found in the discreet policies and infalliable directions.

Economics Of The Billionaires

Slim,Gates and Buffet are the wealthiest men of 2010.
This is according to Forbes analysis.



Slim is a Mexican telecom tycoon,the first one from a developing nation to head to the top..He,at 70. is the most unostentatious person, working from his office ,buying out business in crisis,earning good results.He rose to the top from the third position.


Bill Gates , ths software wizard, who was in top for a couple of years, is no longer the world's richest man.

Warren Buffet , has come out as the third richest man in the world.

Thus goes the ranking,and the difference between the first and second is just .5billion.
Not much  of a difference, but worthy for a ranking.


The economics ,of the richest goes without saying, is one of deep analysis, right investment,  exact management, and fine performance.
When it rains we have to put forth a bucket ,not a thimble, calls Buet.
True ,in times of recession the wealthiest raked up gold ,while their counterparts were gathering wool.
While the rest were groaning and mourning, the fortunate, rather can we call them as the pushers made quick and shrewd moves to earn revenue,.
Earn they did, in shares ,which had a grumpling setback, bought failing companies, invested in lesser  known  criteria.
A well balanced investment,with a tinge of apprehension, dotted by a daring activity had created wonders.


No economists  could frame a rule for such upsurge.
No research could model a doctrine for such a hype.
It is a precious achievement of the individual.
It is a prosperous creation of the human brain.

Government Goes Bankrupt

Bankruptcy has become a common word.
Years ago , bankruptcy bore a nasty sense and an ashamed comfiture.
Today , the word  gets a normal approval, as most banks have collapsed, industries  have wound up, individuals  are broke, and the latest scenario covers the governmets.
Greece is in red.
U.S is about to pop off.
India ,which is seen as a progressive economy has a state, called Tamilnadu , in its federation, which has disclosed that it has Rs seventy three thousand crores as deicit.
The population of the state is 7.3 crores.
Each one is liable for Rs 10,000.
It is alarming.
The apprehension sparks  a status of insecurity .


The government  remains unperturbed .
It is liberal in extending free current, free television, free health care.
Every free is  heavily coated with debt.
The ruling party, which comprises of a family, father, sons , daughter, are having a fabulous time in filling their coffers.
The nephews are looting the media.
The grandchildren have taken control of the cine field.
They produce films, direct films, act in films and distribute the films and  the shows are conducted in their cine complexes.
It is a perfect circle.


The state is going to the dogs.
The family is getting enriched.
The government goes bankrupt.
The family achieves surplus wealth.
The state loses .
The family gains.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.-Newton's law of Motion.
So in Tamilnadu,
For every liability there is an equal and opposite liability.-Karunanidhi's Law of  Succession
A grand cumulative interest is accrued.
Good Going Karunanidhi!!!

Erratic Business.

Right time at the right moment is the basis of all success.
Skill, talent, prudence and money are all subsidaries.



An industry is prone to ups and downs.
In India ,the cotton spinning industry was doing great in the post independent decade and even some ten years back there was a reasonable profit  in running the mills..
The  latest ten years saw a complete washout.
Only a hand picked textile units were able to sustain.
Mumbai and Ahmedabad the chief centres for spinning cotton yarn ,were in the procedure of closing the gates during late eighties and early nineties saw a mass collapse.
The southern textile mills were making a marginal profit during this period,
This industry ,usually experienced boom and recession al throughout.
But after 1997,there was an abject performance which struck a heavy blow on the mill owners.
There was a helter skelter run of the manging directors, directors ,as the fear of the creditors strategic moves of arresting the mill owners for non payment of bills., loomed large.
The industry lost its credibilty.
The banks were hostile.
The government policies were not supportive.
The rich tycoons became a shadow of themselves overnight.
The few mills ,which were working , managed on slender margins.


Then ,there was Information technology hype.
The software industry was the talk of the decade.
A job in a software company was an ideal one.
The charm of medicine and commerce  was lost.
Lured by the high returns, software companies propped up in hundreds and thousands.
The wealth accumulation was fastidious, beyond anyone's dream.
Inofsys is money spinner.
Wipro, cognizant , TCS are in the run.
There is an extensive growth of splendour.
The IT men became the nouveau rich.
Satyam , saw a fine trend .
It competed with the leading sotware companies.
Its Chief ,Ramaling a raju , was a man with a golden wand.
His company saw an enormity that it went into diversiifcations very soon.
The eggs in the basket were hatching one by one.
Many had a development that was unprecedently rapid.
A few had hiccups.
Raju indulges in transferring huge amount rom Satyam to Mayatas.
Incidentally Mayatas is an acronym of Satyam, so the money ,which was swept rom Satyam to mayatas could also be defined as an acronym.
Truth got unravelled gradually.


One fine ,morning , there was a spontaneous terrible  quake in the world  of Satyam.
The magnitude was so high and intense ,that the outbreak was hard to believe.
One by one the house built of cards crumbled.
Raju and his close aides were imprisoned.
Today, it is reported that he is  suffering from chronic illness.
The tale seems unbelievable.
We are familiar with rags to riches themes.
The riches to rags concept is peculiar and at the same time perplexing.



Do you think that this is the end of  the story?
Never be misguided.
Many more such erratic business would occur, sending the trespassers to the prison and deceiving the beleivers.
That is how life goes on.

Global Woe

There appears a numbed designation.
There follows a confidential disaster.
There proceeds an apparent uneasiness.
The world, on the whole is shaky and frustrated.
Why?
It is globalisation, that has performed such a difficult plight.
This formidable concept has proved to be a dismal failure.


Thoughts, when they hatch, look gorgeous, cause great excitement,
When they blossom ,they undergo changes that are sometimes unpredictable.
One such vivacious thought is Globalisation.


The American empire is on the verge of collapse.
The Greecian concern is one of panic.
China ,is overcautious, that it substantiates policies with lot of ifs and buts ,that refract the indices.
The Indian economy is pretty stead fast.
The dollar is not stable.
Th pound has sloped deep.
The commodities are presenting a pernicious movement.
There is a sudden outbreak.
Break can be bothwise-upward and downwad.
If the break is not balanced, there arises a tilt,which pulls the economy high or low.
The struggle to keep equivocal position is not in the plane.
The swift gravitional force of inflation is playing riot .
So ,the much appreciated globalisation is getting depreciated and inflcts a disillusion.
It is similar to a flirtation, but this quality regales a light ,frivolous acrimony .
It is most unfortunate.

China's Golden Move

China refrains from buying Gold., is the latest news.
The announcement has slowed down gold momentum.
Gold price,which was going up  in hectic speed has halted.
The gold consuming nations India and China, have taken an opposite reference regarding the purchase of gold.


The Indian Reserve Bank ,took the world in storm ,when it bought gold from IMF.
The next bulk buyer ,would be China ,was everybody's anticipation.
But the Chinese hesitation has  surprised the world.
The Gold prices have been shot .
There would be a decisive down trend .
The competition always boosts the prices.
The expectation of China entering into a purchase mood ,has been diffused by the announcement.
So the yellow metal  will remain in as is where is condition, till any further decicion.


The inflationary trend of Gold has been softened.
The lure and lust for this metal, especially in India and China  are clandestinely pernicious.
The peril expressed in  aacuumulating stocks has led to a buoyancy in acquiring kilos of Gold.
Gold does not earn revenue.
Gold does not also lose value ,as paper stocks and monetary transactions, felt in the weakening of dollar.
The investment interest still persists .
So we do not see a dismal tumble, but a marginal decrease is on the way.


The Golden move of China ,is welcome at this juncture , as the precious metal is breaking the norms in price and blasting the codes in accumulation.
A direction from China, will make the investors look the other way, into stocks ,property and other commodities.

Caricaturing The Economy

Economy is as interesting as a painting.
Caricature is an art .
It is a representation of a pictorial or a literary, in which the  themes  festures or peculiarites are deliberately exaggerated, to produce a comic or grotesque efect.
Can such be attempted in Economy?



Economy can be best represented in this art form.
Taking facial caricature as an illustration, we  have to study the face with much diligence.
Every face is beautiful.Every face has a feature dominant.
So ,if you see a face with wide eyes , then you can go on with your  caricature  by stressing on this dominant  aspect.
So also in literature, a prominent scene gets decked up in a caricature that has a telling effect on the reader.
This eminence find its way into the literary assignment adding a pictorial effect to the publication.


Economy also can be portrayed with great ease and splendour in this art form.
The resplendency of economy had a beautiful representation .
The reflection was found in the myriads of plentiful accumulation of revenue and commodities.
There was a gay rejoice and an immaculate replica of prosperity.
The graphical markings highlighted these elevation with much fanfare.
The research translated the glory in  effectual terms, marked by smile, laugh ,grin with a backdrop of lush green and golden tinge.


The present caricature of the prevelant economy is one of gloom and despair.
The transcription in caricature show eventful incidents,  which streamline the down trend in a cryptic style.
The recuperation was performed in a sordid fashion,arranging the collapseof banks, unemployment data, and an upsurge of deficiency.
The tracing in the graphs pivot a destituion ,pinpointing the abject failure and colossal damage.
The thesis evolve the recession  in emphatic forms,describing the grief, downfall, and the entire break down.
The caricature emantes a cry, a sob, in a background of dry parchments exhibiting a pale yellow spluttered with a blackish smudge.

Wading Into Business

As a duck wades into water,easily and lightly,a business oriented person glides into his occupation, undeterred by recession, setbacks ,unfavourable trends.
He keeps vigil over his business,that rain or shine do not affect him.
A  fish cannot be out of water, if kept away, it dies.
So an ardent lover of business ,cannot be pushed out of his orientation.
His goal is  transaction.
His target is profit.


There was an uproar when Ratan Tata, took over the Jaguar manufacturing unit and the Corus company.
There was large scepticism .
There was  a nimbling fear in the Tata group too, that this entanglement would land Ratan Tata in trouble.
But Ratan Tata was firm and resolute.
He did not back out .
To fund his project ,he sold  a sizeable volume of Tata and Sons shares.
The project, though a little shaky in the start, was given proper attention by Tata management, thus stabilising the acquired companies.
Those of whom , who envisaged a break down  got astounded.
Ratan Tata, saw potential gains.
He saw beyond time and speculated beyond scope.
His farsightedness and keen insight has made him look tall among a group of disbelivers.


Looking beyond reach, analysing the impossibilites , arriving at strange policies, concluding unclaimed proposals, claiming success over left overs ,might sound little negative.
But ,this is an out of box motivation, that heralds success.
That which others rejected has become a darling in the hands of Ratan Tata.
It is his way of Business.
It is his own reward.

Oil ,Oil,Oil.

Oil  is moving steadily.
Well, we have forgotten crude oil for quiet some time.
Now its presence is felt again.
Remnisence is the best equipment to tabulate the oscillation.

Oil ,which was ranging at $147 ,in 2008 , saw a drastic fall in 2009.
it tumbled as, the famous nursery rhyme goes, 
Jack fell down,
Jill came tumbling after.
Oil rolled  ruggedly in its down fall, dashing against rocks, getting bruised in the course, badly deformed in the end o its abject slope.
It stagnated at $47, for a leisure.
There was rejoicing world over,except in the Gulf where oil is excavated.




While the economy was focusing on other dimensions, oil slowly propped up.
But ,the satisfaction of keeping oil under the toes ,made the world ,pay least attention to this essential product.
Discreetly ,oil did its exercise.
It coped to the price factor of $50.
Then ,as the  nations were busy patrolling on the GDP , oil made a definite move.
It got the price tag of $60.
The jobless data was argued to the exact magnitude.
The collapse of banks was the subject of debate.
Health care was the main controversy.
Gold was making a significant head through.
Stocks were dancing to the dollar's performance.
Oil unfastened its tight belt, and rose up to $70.
The world was unaware of this momentum.


Ranging at $70 , for a comprehensive period, unattended by the developed and developing nations, oil bombarded  a severe shot,as it made a tidy $80.
The alarm  ,this time was louder than expected.
Today we hear a shrill cry from the affected,as again oil is up with a vengeance.
Soon it will reach the peak  in no time.
Beware of Oil!

Make Money

Money is a word charmer.
It woos you.
It enlivens you.
It cheers you.
It  reverberates.
It resounds.
It works.


The way you make money is important.
To amass wealth, be it your motto, you have thousands of ways and means beore you.
Earning revenue in proper manner does not throw open such plenty routes.
It requires discipline.
It needs honesty.
It underlines complacency.


The hoarding  by unnatural methods ,prove to be a jubliant respite, but will end up as a deadly strain .
Mopping up money  is an excellent job.
Excellence is weighed not on the quantity but on the quality.
Modern trends deviate from such  moderations.

The letting out money for interst is a transgression that has to be banned by law.
Earning money through money is the first deceitful strategy.
Banks and financial institutions should be liberal in disbursing loans.
They should also prempt quickness in distribution.

Minting money through abrasive techniques like insider trading, lending names to launder the un accounted, concealing incomes are all fraudelent demeanours that have to be reraqined.
The bring down the numbers ,the government has to emulate tax structures , which would fiercely subsidise the wrongs.
To enable such crafts ,the tax should be minimised, so that the payer would not  feel the burden too much.
A less tax interprets an easy business. such that the real income would not be shoved of, or a part of it not entered in the proforma.
The minimal tax will open up integral pattern of submission of accounts.There would appear a firm tranparency  in the transactions

The commissions that the middlemen get is another easy way of making money.
Negotiating ushers a minimum 2% return.
The reference of kick backs is found in almost all strata of business and professions.
It starts  from finding a helper , locating a house for rent  or for sale , arranging loans, fixing a lawyer, focusing a builder and identiying a laboratory to have your medical tests done.
The voluminous growth  of such incomes are too heavy that they need to be checked.



The facile methods of making money in short time has pronounced a culture which is discriminately deformed.
A promised perspective and a verified regulation has to be programmed to transform the revenue into productive use.

Indian Budget -2010

Budgets are a financial projection ,which have no validity in the course of the year.
One analyst has called Pranab Mukerjee's exercise as a short term pain for a long term gain.
What does he imply by his comment?


Pains comprise mostly of the price hike of petrol and diesel.
This enhancement has evoked a large scale controversy.
But the government is firm in its proposition.
By this escalation, the government stands to gain 400.000 crores.
The public lose Rs 2.25 for every litre of fuel. whether it be diesel or petrol.
Incidentally ,the freight charges will increase.
Air fares, bus  charges , would shoot up.
So the government's gain is a loss to Indian.

Tax sops, rural promotions, ,women empowerment, infrastructure development are the  usual case of study in every year budget.
They find prominence in speech , but in action they  are not to be visible.
So the budgets  are a sensation for a few days.
Media gives a wide coverage.
T.V's make a wide propaganda.
Business men, and industrialists sit glued to the idiot box.
The channels call for interiews with reputed industrialists.
There arises a spectacular performance.
A top economists  talks to an industry's topper.
He indulges in a long discourse, which most times elucidates the ignorance of the performer.
The newspapers  give a guady accumulation to Budget presentations.
That which looks ordinary becomes an ostentatious submission year in and year out.


It is the commoner, who is an odd man out .
He stands rejected.
He looks dejected.
He moves  in a quandary.
He lives in perfect Chos.

Well done Pranab Mukerjee!!

An Elegy on American Capitalism

Let us call it off,
Let us cry hoarse,
Let us shout wild,
Let us yell loud,
Let us wail  bitter,
Capitalism  dead..

As we created unsound dogmas,
As we manipulated unreal destinies,
As we manouvered indistinct pranks,
As we moulded incorrigible precincts,
As we amassed horrible wealth.
Capitalism died


If not for our greed,
If not for our treachery,
If not for our  dishonesty,
If not for our arrogance,
If not for our insincerity,
Capitalism  would be alive.



Mourn the goodness,
Mourn the plenty,
Mourn the greatness,
Mourn the prosperity,
Mourn the democracy
Mourn the capitalism

China Consolidates.

The Chinese Premier Wen Jiabo ,is worried about his country's investments in U.S bonds.
China has sold $34.2 billion worth of U.S bonds.
The Chinese government is displeased  with U.S proposal to sell fresh arm package to Taiwan.
It is also intrigued  by the welcome  provided to His Holiness Dalai Lama.
The annoyance has been expressed in such terms as to withdraw its aid to U.S.

Timothy Geithner,  during his  visit to China last december had assured China that U.S is definitely inclined to  create a strong and secure financial system.
But China has its own apprehensions over U.S financial policies .
It has sold the bonds to safeguard its economy.

The world at large has lost its trust on dollar.
The U.S. policies are unsustainable.
The question where is China going to invest the money if not on U.S bonds.?
This interrogation is an unneccessary prodding of the U.S economic analysts.
China is free to do what it wishes, though dumping its money on Euro or yen  is equally insecure.

There seems to be a disarming alarm, that  would  lead the U.S economy to a disenchanted proposition.

Revenues Reviewed

Revenues of nations have suffered a set back
Precisely income in the developed economies have turned south.
There is a despondency.
There is a haphazard feeling.
There exists a prickling dilemma, a pinching  deficit.


The growing economies sit in a pretty comfortable position.
Their revenue which had been modest all throughout have extended gains.
Their fugitive sensivity has been pacified .
Those of whom looked to west for handsome revenue have resolutely anchored their oars in their country.
The parity in revenue has shrugged to a  minimal fixture.
The exodus to the rich western nations has been to desirable level restricted.
The brain drain has been subdued.


The income of $100,000 in U.S is found among  4%  of the populace.
There is a maximum of underemployed , unemployed and poverty stricken  that expose  a shoddy circumspective   revelation.
The Developing economies  rule the roost .
Their progressive despatch have enrolled a surging capcity  for employment.
There exists a constant call  for  acceptance of job seekers.
There  are immense opportunities .
There are extensive soures for generating revenue.
Ther is no cash strapping.
The outflow of money is finely chanellised to meet the demands of the country.


The central banks  in these nations have evolved a dynamic schedule.
Gripping the reserve ratio, clasping the disbursement, catching the promotions  with emphatic determination  has enabled the economy to grow not in fits and starts , but in a streamlined procession.
The Western countries have slipped in their decision.
The shoe is pinching them.
Now it is for them to  decide, whether to remove the shoes, or alter the size, as it is absolute falsehood to cut their feet.

The Great Fall

Dreams come true some times.
Facts get distorted  at times
The land of plenty has lost its charm.
Debt is mounting to trillions.
The business reforms have not seen the light.
The fat cat bonus have been approved by Obama, contrary to his early resolutions.
The commodities are in the rise.
Oil which was kept under control ,has dashed out of the encumberance ,and  is raging high.
There is unemployment , under employment and  there exists much parity between the haves and have nots.


The U.S debt is a junk.
There is very little shimmer of hope.
Economy has absolute risk.
That which was business has now become a gamble
That which aimed for profit has now become a disaster..
That which worked out  a reward now presses a deprival.


The bubble has bursted.
The foresight of the policy makers is conspicously at fault.
The growing economy China,is manifesting great prudence , by raising the reserve.
The move restricts the hurried growth.
Hastiness leads to fast fall.

The short term investment is the only way out ,as there is no long term future for the Nation.
The research should be oriented in this direction.
A stitch in time saves nine.

Greece ,China Depress Markets.

Greece is pulling the euro zone,back into recession.
The debt ridden Greece has to be whacked up by Germany,whose economy has also stagnated.
The Greeks should cut off their spending to  get the nation's economy under control.
The economy has contracted by a wild .8%.
This cues has affected the stock market firmly all through the week.



China's announcement that it will raise the reserve ratio ,has brought in a keen dramatic eventuality.
The stocks fell in Wall street.
Gold also tumbled by $10.
China is one of the world's biggest consumers of commodities.
Its move to slow down the pace of its growth  has raised serious concerns.
The inference is China has lost its appetite for commodities.
Heavy selling pressure was seen in the Asian trade after the People's Bank Of China said it will raise the ratio of reserves bank must set aside by 0.5%, a second move of the year.

Globalisation has mostly compressed the economy in size and in merit.
A meticulous way out has to be worked out.
Can we conclude that Globalisation is in the brink of collapse?

A Ridiculous Study

Angus Deaton , the noted Princeton Economist, has cast serious doubts on World banks last upward revision of global poverty figures. 

His statement that the world has become poorer as India has become richer.
No study of economics indicate such dimensions.
He relegates that India's exit from the poverty line  because of its econmic growth  resulted in the average rising.


The Purchase power Parity (PPP) is the formula that is used to calculate the national poverty lines  of a group of the poorest countries in the world. This is done by converting them to U.S. dollars.
India emerged out of the poverty line in 2005.


Deaton argues that the Indian poverty line should be taken as standard , so that India does not get richer, thus the world does not become poorer

The findings Of Deaton are not proactive to the economic prosperity.
India is working towards an economic progression.
It has  opened  up the economy that , has brought in an assured promise.
Its entry into the Information Technology sector with a bash ,has  recorded an immense growth.

Overlooking all these vital considerations, the learned economist has concluded that Richer India makes the world poorer.
Pushing the country into oblivion by the dominant nations ,is a routine procedure.
Coming out with irrelevant demostrations are not expressive of the economists research..
Deaton should have studied the cause for Indian economic resurgence.
Instead he has presented an incomprehensible doctrine.

Politicial Billionaires-Nouveau Democracy

Of late ,the political motivation  intends to harp in great  wealth..
Those in power wield an authority over the state  in financial terms and in ruling relics.
The power creeps into the head.
The head rises up in pride.
The massive supremacy gives them a licence to act as they like and as they wish.
They live in style.
They act with domination.
They pass orders with determination..
They take law into their hands.
Law, security, religion , education, administration, are handled with utmost audacity.
The old form of dictatorship has assumed a new design called democracy.


Democracy is for the people, by the people, and to the people, said Lincoln.
I differ.
It is for the politicians, by the politicians ,and to the politicians.
Even great Lincoln has erred.
The politicians of modern day, behave in an emphatically  wicked ,callous manner.
The ancient concept of family rule, that which was in vogue some 200 years back ,is gradually   assuming the limelight.
The fillial ties have gained strength.
A son or daughter rises to the top office after the death of the parent.
Earlier the country was ruled by Kings.
Now they are reigned by Presidents, Prime Ministers in the centre, and Chief minister in the state.

A cohesive melodrama is enacted in the state  of Tamilnadu,down south of India.
The father is the present  Chief Minister.
The second son is the Deputy Chief Minister.
The first son is the Central Minister.
The daughter ,by another wife, is the Member of Parliament.
The nephew ,again is a cabinet Minister in the Centre.
Another nephew is a prominent Media  executive.
Even the Kings of the Chera, Chola, Pandya period did not make up such a ruling clan.


As it seems, the trio, brothers and sister are in a buying mood.
Billions are like thousands to them.
Millions are only  hundreds. to this group.
 If any  valuable property comes up for sale, it is silently acquired by the siblings.
Such a way the family possesses a sizeable amount of prominent  properties in Tamilnadu.,whose asset value runs into billions.
Every transaction has to get the endorsement of the trio.
This revlation may sound odd to others across the world, but not to the proud Tamilians, who boast of their rich tradition and enviable culture.
The politically sound Tamilians knowingly or unknowingly have  been put against infinite irregularities and extreme  difficulties ,which they endure with soberity and resignation..



The politicians  are elected to power ,to rule the state with dignity and decorum.
They have not been sent to the legislatures to amass wealth.
They have not been appointed to increase their financial prosperity.
Singular takes over the collective.
It is not the country that flourishes, but the person who  attains exorbitant prosperity, which is incomprehensible..
The state sinks.
The Man excels.
This is nouveau democracy.

Indefatigable Debts

Debts are bearing an impersonation of the deceitful treachery that mops up the entire financial crisis.
The nations are rattled by the fear of what is in store for the future.
The procedural flaw exhibited in  the Fannie Freddie  mortgage loans has swapped the inimitable integrity o the banks.
The closure of   banks in quick succession has shaken the trust in the institutions.
The expectancy of revival ,which seemed a near possiblity ,is showing a negative trend.
The living beyond the means has gained a  momentum in the years.
The credit card, the debit cards have brought in a culture that anything is possible under the sun.
The daring  attitude has rendered a community that could eke out a living in debts.
The squaring up of the debts is not simple  as it appears.
The credit concept is an iinfatuation.
The impulse to purchase would be limited when ione is bereft of cash.
This theme was the practice o the past.
With the advent of liberal funds thrown out by the banks in the form of credit and debit cards , have proved to be discriminately destructive not only to the individual but to the financial instituions.
The vicious significance has demoralised the nations too.

Living in debt has become a fashion.
The pride in owning assets without payment has created a neo classical genre.
The deferred  payments or precisely instalments have eased the buyer from securing a wholesome fund.
But the facility has made him irresponsible .
A sluggish repayment  is precipitated ,which in course of time debases into a no repayment.
The debts mount up. The interst multiplies.
The borrower is trapped.
The lender is ambushed.
A series of serious defaults  are let loose.
The economy crumbles.
The nations become debt prone.

Thus debts bring about a defeat ,process a captivation of ownership without full payment, promote a disenchanted proposition of error and aberration.

Doctoring The Economy

Economy is panting.
Industrial resurgence is encouraging.
We need a realistic configuration to make the eonomy work in a cognitive spirit.
That technique lies in the crafty deals ,coherent policies and conducive progressions.


The business of the nations  is  crossing a nonchalant  reference.
The scruples ,the derilictions, the digressions ,and the vivacious propensities are passing through a headway procedures.
These should be nurtured withutmost care.
The policies o politics should not overcome the doctrines o commerce.
The intervention of politicians would spoil sport.
Economy will end up in disaster, if this is allowed.


Getting out of the trenches need extra boldness and  out of box thinking.
It is easy to learn from past events.
It is  facile to ape the solutions.
But ,we should keep in mind that each case has a different  direction.
Each complication has an altered  approach.
Diagonsis also present a basically modified ethos.


Myriad proformas  are put forth.
The ability to distinguish between the true and false , the genuine and  thedeceit, the real and the unreal is put up to test..
The discrimination and delineation are the essence of a powerful economy.
The proven capaciy of distinguishing the vital from the un important, the relevant from the irrelevant  assumes a stimulating reverence.


The sensible care  of the penchant dimensions will ensue a pack of prosperity and a gift of cheer .

Challenges Ahead

Having gone through a period of recession,the challenges pose an emphatic threat to the world.
A bit of awe, a tinge of fear, a thistle of withdrawal,an air of grumpiness meanders through the economic front.


How to come out of this reluctant resolutions?
A bold move, come what may attitude, is the need of the hour.
Look before you leap  cautions the mind, but  on occassions ,the heart should empower the mind.
This may sound odd. This may propel risk. This may churn deliberations.
But this is what has to be  carried out.


Working with full vigour,addressing with acute determination ,and allowing no suspicious incitements ,will certainly bring a renaissance.
The economy has been stifled by misappropriation,by malpractices, by unscruplous hypothesis, by deriding principles.
The battering  has created a cavity,that has to be filled up dextrously and diligently.
A daring thrust , which may assume an indefatigble  assumption, should be implicated.

The currencies of the nations have to be balanced.
The dollar, which was the ruling currency of the world is losing its sheen.
A substitute money has to be considered.

The rate of interest has to be uniformly fixed.
There may be a variation,of say a few points up or down, not like what is prevailing now.
The lending rate in most countries is around 7% to 8%.
A few countries have extended the rate to 10 % to 11%.
In the early 2000's the rate was 20 % to 23% in developing countries like India.
This was a bane to the industrial sector.
Now, the interest has been brought  down to 10%.
In U.S the prime lending rate is only 2%.
This discrepency has affected the manufacturing sphere.
Interest  rates should not suppress the product outflow.
It should encourage the output.
Thus bringing about a simple affirmation of rates will ensue a general wellness in the economic diaspora.


Next  a conceivable solution for  gradual growth has to be initiated.
The sudden spurt and the abject tumble should not be permitted to occur.
A gradient  rise should be the option instead.
A  careful consideration of monetary policies will unravel the vistas for such promotions.


The per capita income has to be  given an intricate place in the formation of programmes.
If this is scrutinised with utmost earnestness, poverty could very well be eradicated.
The aid  should reach the needy.
The upliftment should be the proposal that has to be given a highest priority.

A programme  has to be charted out to face the challenges ahead.
Challenges are not a source of threat, but they are opportunities that could be converted into  a resurrecting discipline.
