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.

Kingdom Of Cambodia -Baffling

Cambodia is really astonishing.
Its culture is ancient.
It is  an abode of a great civilisation.
Its natural resources are plenty.
But it is an unfortunate lonely country, plagued by war, destroyed by genocide,devestated by civilian extravaganza.
The political stability is a big question.


The Angkor wat is the seventh wonder of the world.
Its magnificence  makes us spell bound.
The existing state of the temple is just ruins, with stones lying scattered, with beheaded idols,and the sculptures are in peeved up condition.
A restoration is going on.
It has been undertaken by the  Japanese government.
The mural work on the corridors depict the Ramayana and Mahabaratha themes.
They are so life like.
A patient .careful perception delineates the story ,as narrated by Valmiki and Vyasa.
Hinduism was practised in Cambodia ,for centuries.
The great rulers Mahendra Varman, Jeya varman VII, have laid a strong foundation for the religion.


The 1008 lingams in a hillock ,about fifty kilometers from Siemreap, incites bewilderment and fantasy.
The flow of water from a stream amidst an undualating terrain,over the 1008 lingams is rapturous.
Along with the lingams there are sculptures of Vishnu, reclining on his snake bed, Mahalakshmi, and Brahma.
The  creator, the protector and the destroyer all in a row,renders a realisation that the universe so vast and huge is governed by the simple principle of susteneance.
The Shakthi and Shiva concept is predominantly imposing.
The rustling of leaves, the humming of water from the stream and the innocent inhabitation  are alluring and at the same tiime present a subtle serene yoga.


The Hinduism has lost its grounds in Cambodia.
Its place has been usurped by Buddhism.
Buddhism is a cult that emanated from India.
The idols of Hindu Gods have been replaced by Buddhist statues.

Religion ,whether it be Hinduism, Christianity, Muslim.Buddhism. all preach the same virtue in a different proforma.
Beheading  the idols is a transgression.
The cynical ,callous outbursts are manifested .in the wrecked edifice.
The criminal insinuations have not only affected the religious feelings of the Hindus, but also has marred the rich heritage.
That which has to be passed on to the future generations has been destroyed.

Even  the ruins of Angkorwatt are astounding
It is a celestial experience par excellence

Comic Economy

The vast suject economy is being  torn and dismantled from the pinnacle of pride.
It is a grave ,sober, provoking branch of learning ,that also plays a major role in the commercial world.
The heavy subject can be classified into major divisions, that of Micro ,Macro, Rural, Urban,Agricultural, Industry, Business, Banking, Administrative
One more trivial detaied study has to be added to this already crowded classifications, that of comic  economy,in short.
The comical aspects of economy ,if atall they exixted, in the past, but now very much present, makes  the world a stage for conducting the vagaries of economy in their most laughter provoking deal.


The climax of thie financial part of economy was reached in the year 2008, when the whole world was washed ashore  by the great deluge of recesssion.
Countries splattered, Nations peeved, and the financial world bit the dust.
The misery was unexplicable. The most rich languages were bereft of words to express the melancholy.
yet the economy ,after getting beaten up savagely by the wrong policies made a rapproach, much to the relief of the commercial world.
It is slowly rising out of the embers, but it also shoves its head in the pithladen mud in shame and disrace.
The little risea day leads to a greaer fall the net day.
The compro economy is a debacle emrging out of falsities and treachery.
The habitation ,at large is unable to smile at the inconguernncies the economy has displayed,
it is suppressing the laughter to keep in mood to the deadly disaster.
Excess tragedy brings in laughter at times.
The same priciple holds good here.

 It has become a comical stuff delighting some, entertaining others, making a lucrative tableau to most

Ideas On Investing

The investor is in a nervous mood.He is in a mixed state of deliberation,,discrimination and determination.
His status is like a cauldron pot,being vehemently churned by disconnected appraisals.

Going back a few years ,we find that stock market was booming.The valid or valueless stocks soared high for no reason whatsoever.The bull was in full vigour.Markets saw a high that waqs unbeleivable.


A crash landed.There was an unexpected down trend.The stocks which were in soaring mood had an abject fall.The investors ,who opted for short time investment were thrown out of the medium.There was a diaster.

Meantime,gold was in an upbeat mood.It started rising, and there was a steady rise.A slide was there but it was not predominant.Then the final quarter of last year saw an overwhelming outbreak of gold price.The world was stunned.The oil also had such an escalation,but was contained to $70 early last year.The oil was $140 in early2008,but fell to $40 in 2008 end. now it is peeping out at $80.

The investment chart has to be carefully drawn to make a desirable level of secure transactions.
.
,It is time to go back to the age old practice of long time investment .
Avoid short selling.
Take part in Public limited companies monetary mangement.
Buy gold at low.
Go in for property at mid levels.
Keep a sizeable liquid reserve.

These are the few ideas that will help you to keep afloat in the recessionary

Business Management .

Business management studies have become a most charged form,in the sense,vey expensive, very much unrelated.
The business practices have been best learnt from experience, than by rote.
The management institutions are levying heavy fees,to impart the most erroneous methods ,as to how to handle corporate business. I may sound too negative, but that is what has evolved out of MBA.


Learning itself ,has taken a dimension that is far remote from the practicality.
In ancient days, toddlers got admitted in gurukuls.
Catch them young , if you can, as the tender age is the most impressionistic year to assimilate eeverything that is taught.
Addition, subtraction , multiplication, and division, the basis of mathematics were mentally worked out, however much difficult be the problem.Thus the memory developed ,along with  it the anlytical faculty also got sharpened.
Spellings, grammer were forced into the curriculum that the style of writing  and the way of speech became  spectacular.
Having mastered the basics of education, language and mathematica, students chose their subjects according to their liking and capacity.
Education blossomed.



The business minded took orientation from a renowned business man.
The famous nagarathar community , down South India, a flourishing merchant clan, sent their children ,(sons), overseas to their own business centres, as an errand boy to the chief agent.
The twelve year old boy, though the son of the properietor, was treated as one of the staff by the Manager.
He had to run on errands, go to the post office, to the bank, why even , has to run to buy tea for the guests ,at times.
Slowly , the chief took him into the fold,by asking him to write down the entries, taught him the debit and credit  modus, then asked him to total the expenditure, and conclude the accounts by tallying with the credit.
The power agent , in the second stage  asked the boy, who would have reached the age of fifteen, to accompany hin to the plantations or other trade centeres.
The boy was made to observe the transactions, absorb the nuances, and then account for them.
This management study, of theory and practice , was diligently followed by most families, and their children emerged successful, by expanding their business further.
Extending their merchandise in unknown laands, these boys, who had reached the twenties, got familiar with the locals, learnt their language, and became one with them.

They were not conferred with any degree or diploma, but emerged as successful business men .



 The masters in business administration course conducted by top class universities pose a pittance to the Nagarathar training.



The Management  institutions should refer the methodology of this small community, and try to include the course of programming  of this clan into their curriculum.
The  schedule was in depth evasive, and focused. ,though disimilar to the modern management distinctions.

Business means profit,
Profit declares the winner,

The Carrot And The Stick

Carrot and the stick is a beautiful representation.
It is used as a reference to the conclusion of events, fulfilled by the lenient ,insinuation or by forceful provocation.
If the ending is all is well, then the means and ways are not noted.
But ,when the summing up is a fiasco, then the path treaded is cursed.


So much so, the economy , is turning out to be mulish.
If you beat the mule, it will become a bad mule
.If you coax and cajole the beast, it would transform into a slightly better animal
.What deoes the world want,a bad mule or a better animal?
This is the question that is keeping us tagged , that is rendering us to spend sleepless nights.



The economy has to be pushed gently to reach the target.
It is in the hands of the earning breed, not in the pockets of billionaires, as it appears, nor in the wallets of politicians, as they project.
This class of people have o be kept in good humour, as the majority of the population comes under this section.
They have to be cared for. They have to be protected.
Health care reforms have to be implemented.
Education has to be made compulsory.
Infrastructure has to be redone.

The spending intent shoulod be curtailed.
The saving instinct should be flagged off.
More so ,the work culture as to be reinforced with vigour.


Pragmatically speaking ,we should design a world ,where work is worshipped, where modestry is practised, where truth is appreciated and where simplicity is welcomed..

Globalisation Tale.

Globalisation has brought thw world closer  financially.
It is together we prosper.
It is together we fall
This sounds the motto of the policy of Globalisation.


Erstwhile, individual nations,  had their own fiscal formalities, own exim policies and seperate identities.
The weakening of one economy did not affect the other.
The flourishing nation had the means to help the faltering one.
The progress , though was limited,projectedthe rich to become richer.and the poor did not became poorer, but were able to make moderate gains.



With the globalisation, set in an unusual prologue. The overseas inflow of funds baffled the nations, that they did not actually know what to do?They invested in stocks, in bonds , in warrants, unwarrantedly.
Did they do it after much rehersals?
nay they did a haphazard way of collecting wealth.
They did accumulate wealth, but as the sub prime crisis peeved in, the distress sale took over.
Economy became half dead.



Recently, in the U.S stocks were looking bright, but to everybody's dismay, it saw a fall today.Why did this happen?China has raised the interest rate to keep the inflation under control. This move of China got reflected in Wall Street ,provoking the stocks  to fall.
Hitherto, if China raises or lowers the interest , it was not a botheration to the rest of the world. It was its own internal curriculum.


Today, U.S is in a desperate foray. It has also to raise the interest , which Ben bernanke has postponed for a few momths. The economy is back to its leviathan cross mark.

An unforeseen predicament has developed.
What is going to be tomorrow?
Every day has its own tale

Economy -Disoriented.

Gold is climbing to heights.
Oil is getting up from its slumber of $70.
It is waiting at $80.
Stocks are behaving smartly.
Yet there is a eneral feeling of fear, a specific apprehension, a deliberate  derliction,that induces a censorship .


Why is it so?
The gnawing mind repeatedly prods.
Beseiged by such unwarranted dilemma , the economy sucks.
There is no replinshing folio
There is no relevant details.
There is no ravaging splurge.


The man made errrors have devestated the man made economy.
He was the one who created economy in course of centuries,by methodical research, by disciplined practise, by modest approvals.
it is again man, who has destroyed the economy in couple of years, by irrational behaviour, by greed , by deceit, and by treachery.


As a creator , he enjoyed glory and prosperity.
As a destroyer he suffers ignominy and poverty.


The inflationary trend has to be drastically acquitted.
the reason ,should be probed.
is it due to any black marketting?
is it due to any indiscriminatory concept?
Is it due to the desire to inflict disaster to the world at large



Any cantankerous alignment has to be laid bare .
Any dishonest dealing has to be exposed.
Any invalid transaction has to be eliminated.




Unless we do such policing and checking, the Economy could not be brought back to long term sustenance. A feather soft disciplinin g will ot deliver results.

Let Us Go Home

Australia, the glamorous destinaton, the safe haven,for higher studies,is now pronouncedly gory ,apparently ghastly, viciously wicked.
A 21 year old Indian student was stabbed to death,a day before.
what for?
why so?
No one can answer.
The anxiety and apprehension among Indians are forcing them to deliberate on the issue of their stay in the island continent.
With fear and despair, with ignominy and derision, no one .especially an Indian, will not wish to prolong his habitation.


A vuknerable young student has lost his life, being brutally nurdered by drunkard loots.
The law breakers can do anything and everything, without being checked or condemned.
The Australian government has apoligised to the Indian counterpart, after the affected nation made a severe remark.

This has not happened for the first time. many incidents similar to the unholy behaviour had taken place previously.
The Australian government has not restricted such unruly , wicked ,attempts.
The Indian government has warned that the wo countries relationship will be greatly destroyed, if such irrascalities do continue



Indian, australian, African, all are human, except for their colour.
Brown , white or black,does not imply discrimination.
it is the soul that counts.
Kindness and Mercy ,when extended ,will raise you to Heaven.

India's March-Economy.

India is growing steadily .Its economy is making a buzz, a blow up,a vivacious explosion, but not an out burst.
It is ,when compared with China ,making a modest advancement.
China made geometric progression,but India is making an arithmetic increase.
China's multiplication is metamorphical.
India's add ups are metabolical.

The most populous counrtries were mired in poverty , during the 1950's..More so, India after the colonial reign.They did not work out any promotion.They dragged on in abject penury .They lost themselves in increasing the population.The per capita income was absolutely very low.

It was in 1970, the two countries entered into the world of trade and commerce, with certain hope.
China catapulated the opportunities. It slogged heavily .It was successful in finding a solid market for its goods.
India, on the other hand continued its lethargic indulgence.It was sarcastically addressed as "Hindu rate of growth"The bureaucratic tedium, the political intervention did suffocate the Indian enthusiasm


In 1990, India entered the scenario ,with a bang. The red tapism in bureaucracy was unfastened..The manufacturing epoch was established.The Indian products found a new dimension. There was a wholesome impetus to export and import .The exim policies were restructured. India opened its,so far, closed; doors to the world.

The auto manufacturers set foot in the Indian soil. The overseas banks,opened their branches. The  relaxation ,was so tempting, that investors enterd the stock markets too.. The buoyancy was so vibrant ,that India , so long , a country of snakes and fakirs,to the western world,achieved the status of a developing economy, -striding level headedly .Still its velocity could not match with China.

China and India remained steadfast during the recession. China felt the crunch a little ,as it depended on U.S market.

Statiscians expect India to overtake China , as China"s GDP is $4.2 trillion, while India's is nearly one third of it $1.2 trillion.
China relies on 80% exports, while India stands by 50%.
Weighing all these factors, the International Monetaryfund has predicted 8% growth ,for China, 6.4%, for India, and attributed a meagre 1,5% growth to U.S.
As we know the Hare and The Tortoise fable, we infer,ii is "Slow and steady that wins the race"

Recession Has Made Economy Nimbler.

Lived with recession for almost two years. We continue to live with it.

The tolerance exhibited by one and all, either it be industry or banks, either it be stock or commodity, either it be media or infrastructure, has numbed the highly jeopardised sensational outbursts.


The pent up emotions in the facets of business had previously steered throough an inaccessible directions.
Any one ,with muscle power, discreetly or indiscreetly could rig the basis of business- "straight forward transactions"


The methodical approach to the financial aspect of commerce, which lies in the barter of products, which undermines the .import and export policies, which registers in the commissioning of projects, which insinuates in the sanctioning of loans, has been thrown to the bones.



The back door entry into the commercial world has hampered the progress of economy.It circumvented in the messing up of produce, in illegal transfer of import and export, in illicit deals of promotion, in extraneous manipulation of bank loans..This entry has ransacked business.



Only after a fall, we can expect a cautious walk

The down turn has taught all of us a lesson, though bitter, to take measured steps in our effort to turn the events to a best proportion.

Anticpatory Activism

What has 2010 in store?
It has a treasure that has to be unearthed.
It has a vibration that has to be experienced.
It has a caricature that has to be painted.
It has a plan that has to be emulated.
It has a design that has to take shape.
It has a project that has to be approved.
It has a melody that has to be played.
It has a certification that has to be endorsed.
It has a depth that has to be plugged.

With the anticipatory activism in mind, let us board the flight of 2010.
Globalisation has shrunk business diaspora.
Passages have made the world small.

That which occurs in Iceland is heard in India
That which shakes Indonesia is felt in Arctic.
That which tortures economy in U.S. rocks U.K.

That which blossoms in Australia is perceived in Africa.
That which radiates in Asia is experienced in N.America.
That which ruminates in S.America is circulated in Europe.

Thus the world has become a one huge village.
The Eminence is so exciting , that we eagerly look forward for a prosperous curriculum.
