Real God

I have not been able to write a new post for all this time. No particular reason though except that, for a couple of days I was hospitalised...  This post is long due from me...

Suddenly I seem to clearly understand Vivekananda's teachings that there is no God other than Man(Includes women also). When I first read this, I used to think about it as a great thought or an idea or something that has to be realised only in the highest state of spirituality. But off late I feel , this need not be. I mean, I can feel and understand that Human beings are the only God that we can see and exist and there is no other god besides these.

Satyam Fiasco

Satyam fiasco first started in the month of December when Ramalinga Raju announced the acquisition of Maytas - an infrastructure company. A day later this decision was reversed when the shareholders of Satyam voiced dissension by off-loading shares on the market and Satyam share prices started falling.
Series of events started unfolding at Satyam until a week back when Ramalinga Raju announced his resignation and confessed to having committed major accounts inflation fraud in Satyam’s accounts. Of course there are various parties to this and all the names will be revealed in the days to come.
My advice to all the readers is this. Stop comparing Satyam with Ramalinga Raju. They are different. This is as per company law and just because Ramalinga, the independent director there holding less than 8.5 % stock did some mistake doesn’t mean that Satyam and its employees or its business is to blame. In India these things keep happening and if you look at companies in the northern part of India, they have close union and state political connections and they do all sorts of cook up in their books. There is a big corporate house based out of Mumbai, whose accounts, if scrutinized, a lot such will come to the fore. Compared to that, what Raju committed may be just 2-3 % in size. I do not want to name the company but anybody who is acquainted in India’s business history will know this fact. Why cannot we look at companies which showed less wealth before the arrival of SEBI and later by a family fiasco showed huge mass of wealth?

My point is – Stop comparing Satyam’s business with Ramalinga Raju. They are two different things. Let us stand by our Satyam friends at this hour and lend them all support. My commandments for the readers are
Desist from poaching Satyam’s employees as of now
Desist from snatching Satyam’s business or account

Jan 1 2009 - Kalpataru Day

A new year has begun. Here is a puzzle. At what point in time does the sun or earth realize that it is starting afresh! Not ever!!. This is because the earlier action never really ends to start afresh. New Years are man made as it is not like a sun rise or a sun set, a rain or a thunderstorm which starts and re-starts between periods of time. If that be the case , what is so special in man made new years, I wonder!
Come to think of it, today is still significant.Years back In 01-01-1886 , God man SriRamakrishna while walking on the lawn of a garden house raised people's consciousness to that of a super conscious one by a single touch.All of those who had this opportunity experienced a super conscious state in which they felt their spiritual desire being fulfilled . This day is being celebrated by the followers of SriRamakrishna as "Kalpataru Day". Kalpataru in Sanskrit means "wish fulfilling tree".

Mumbai Attacks

Just a while back I read an online article on Wall Street Journal that a Pakistani Probe admits to Local Lakshar links to mumbai attacks .According to the news a top Lashkar commander, Zarar Shah, has admitted their role in the Mumbai attack. Catch this - General Hamid Gul, an ex. Director of ISI was one of the four men accused by Ms. Bhutto for attempts on her life in 2007.In 2006 in a GEO-TV interview General Gul boasted to his host, Dr. Shahid Massood that he was helping Taliban fight against Americans.
It's time for Pakistan to wake up and for it's own sake.Pakistan's ISI has created a monster which it cannot control.With NATO in the north western province, Pakistan now cannot afford to wink on anti-India activities on it's soil.

Me! Just arrived!!

This was haunting me for a long time. To create a blog for myself. But some how couldn't convince myself to take the time to do it. I always thought that I had a lot to give people in terms of ideas, concepts etc. When I first heard of this blogging sensation some 7 years back I kind of perceived that people didn't use blog in the way it should be and at least that's what I perceived. My intrigue and fascination for blogs stopped.
For the past couple of years those thoughts kept receding and the thought of how various blogs helped me in various ways than one pushed the former thought more faster until I realized these blogs have more benefits than one. It's like a telescopic tool to see the thought process of people using this provision.Isn't that too good?. Yes! its too good to be true and its also true it's time that I also write my thoughts ,ideas , my learning's and processes.... So my dear readers, here I am! ..me" I have arrived" and I promise you that you will have more of me in the days that I live.
