HOW THE ARAB UPRISING IS A "CHANGE OF CIVILISATION" AND HOW IT BRINGS AN END TO THE AMERICAN DOUBLE STANDARDS. ALSO WHAT INDIA MUST LEARN

At a point in time where not just India, but the entire world is grappling with the issue of food shortage and escalating food prices, especially owing to the worst drought that has recently hit China (affecting eight major wheat-growing provinces that account for around 80 per cent of the country’s total wheat output), and at a point in time wherein black money and corruption have taken up gigantic proportions, the least that was expected of our honourable Finance Minister was a few bold steps to arrest both the issues. To tackle the impending food crisis, most governments across the world are planning and drafting policies to control the expected food shortage and the anticipated food price hike. West Asian countries are stocking up grains, while countries like Iraq have already placed orders for 400,000 tonnes of wheat grain from the US. Following the trend, even Jordan, Lebanon, Algeria, Tunisia and Saudi Arabia are exporting grains and Russia has even announced a complete ban on food grain exports. In this light, whatever our Finance Minister announced in his Union Budget 2011-12 had no meat with respect to restoration of food grain stock; neither was any attempt made to address the expected inflation that may creep in within the next few months........................

Theory "i" managment

The need to have an Indian management theory for Indian corporates.
How often has one heard of an American organisation adopting the Japanese management style to surge ahead? How often has one heard of the reverse? Probably never. However, I do remember reading somewhere that when IBM-USA was making losses while IBM-Japan was making profits, IBM-USA tried to adopt the Japanese management style to turn around. The result was increased losses.............

IIPM B-school of MBA BBA EMBA Integrated Courses: A new study says Indians are most depressed

Wednesday, July 27, 2011



Indians are among the world's most depressed. According to a World Health Organization-sponsored study, while around 9% of people in India reported having an extended period of depression within their lifetime, nearly 36% suffered from what is called Major Depressive Episode (MDE).

MDE is characterized by sadness, loss of interest or pleasure, feelings of guilt or low self-worth, disturbed sleep or appetite, low energy and poor concentration, besides feeling depressed...................................................

Typos: THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS

Thursday, September 16, 2010

Remember Emilio, the Venetian gondolier? He has a strange problem. Emilio loves his wife and now that he’s been blessed with a little daughter he wants to be a good father and a good husband. Not that he didn’t want to be a good husband in all the years he spent with his wife before little Maria was born, but it always has been so darn difficult. It isn’t really his fault that he lives in one of the world’s most beautiful and romantic cities. And is he to blame if he happens to be in one of the most glamourous blue-collared jobs in the world as a handsome gondolier in the canals of Venice? What is poor Emilio to do if a pretty young tourist looking for an authentic Venetian experience just flings herself into Emilio’s arms and begs him for a souvenir to remember? “I can’t help it, but it happens all the time,” he says, sounding like he’s almost duty-bound to comply..........................

Survival of the weakest

My question is, are we living in a democracy or in a shamelessly unapologetic dictatorial regime? Has the government finally lost it totally? Or do they believe that the people of the country are so foolish that they will quietly accept any amount of dictatorship and vote them to power again in 2014? Is there absolutely no learning from DMK’s huge loss in Tamil Nadu where it virtually controlled the media and yet people kicked them out? What happened on June 4th, 2011, is an absolute blot on the Indian democracy. There is absolutely no exaggeration when people compare the incidents of the day to Emergency or the Jalianwala Bagh Massacre. June 4th is the 2011 equivalent of both. Today, one doesn’t need to shove people inside a well and fire. Going in the midst of sleeping protesters – men, women and children – beating them up and taking the huge risk of a possible stampede and fire that could have killed thousands, is Jalianwala Bagh. And this stinks of the thought process that went behind the Emergency..................

Survival of the weakest

For long, economists have been blindly following Darwin's theory of "Survival of the fittest" as the maxim for the functioning of the capitalist economy. The problem  is, however, they forget that the whole purpose of functioning of an economy is to move towards a more civilized form of existence. Civilization has seen man moving out of the jungle and reach where he is today. Sadly, however, he has not yet been able to discard the rules of existence that he used to follow in the jungles...............

Typos: THE BOAT WITH A WAGGING TALE

Thursday, September 9, 2010

A red glow from the lone light struggled against the dark shadows. I tip-toed down the stairs, past the lobby where a large bemused rhino, carved out of mahogany, was staring up at three naked women hanging on the wall – a distractingly beautiful renaissance-like print called ‘The Bath’. Unlike the rhino, I managed to tear myself away from the fetching trio, past the sleepy head on the reception desk and there I was, under the inky blue pre-dawn sky, in search of a city that I couldn’t find yesterday.............

Typos: IN THE MASTER’S WAKE

Thursday, July 21, 2011


If, for some masochistic reason, you happen to have read more than one of these weekly columns I drag and wrench out of my reluctant laptop, you’d know that I’m an absolute sucker for miracle-tales. I’ve spent a lot of time over the last few years in dusty libraries pouring over crumbly sepia-tinged, dog-eared pages and websites that promise to reveal ‘the secrets of energy and ecstasy’, loo King for tangible evidence of a claimed miracle. And I’ve seen glimpses… a shadow here, a silhouette there, but nothing more that I could touch, tell and know. I’ve trudged through the proverbial deserts and valleys, and desolate forts, and waited by the banks of unnamed rivers in forgotten forests in search of a promised sign or a whispered legend, and heard a lot, but saw very little...................

Typos: THE ISLAND

Thursday, August 26, 2010


“Thisss eeezz Poveglia…!” and he let the words hang in the salt-thick sea air. I stared silently at the island as it floated on the mist and myth that surrounded it. It was almost dusk and as the sun set behind the silhouetted island, for a brief moment, the sea and the island’s bell tower seemed to have been set on fire… reminiscent of the tall flames that used to crackle on this island centuries ago… flames, the smoke and the screams… screams that rent sky, until the fire doused the screams…........................

Passionate About India: Ever wondered why, while attacks in Mumbai keep ha...

July 22, 2011

Mumbai has become a living example of how terrorists can come at their will, kill hundreds of innocents, destroy property worth hundreds of crores, instill a state of perpetual fear in those who manage to survive and thereby blatantly spit on the face of Indian sovereignty, time and again. And the best that we can do is offer condolences for the aggrieved, and wait for the next blast to happen. No doubt, we have attained a state of shameless vulnerability and have almost epitomised it. And that is the reason why since the last few years, the incidence of terror attacks has not only seen an unprecedented surge, but has become increasingly blatant, gory and on the face. It is as if a blast or two a year has almost become an annual ritual. And every such blast also blows away into pieces the resolve that our government had taken during the previous attack – calling it a bold step against terror. And the saga continues....................................................................

Typos: YET ANOTHER CHRISTMAS CAROL

Thursday, August 19, 2010


This tale is not mine to tell but one I stumbled upon … last day in Antwerp and while my friends emptied out souvenir and designer stores, I wandered about the city square till I saw two tall towers, peering above the rest of the city, glinting in the fading light of a spent sun. It was the city cathedral. Inside the cathedral, stood proud old walls adorned with masterpieces by the Flemish master Sir Paul Peter Reubens. I started taking pictures of the cathedral’s tall spires. As I backed away to try and squeeze the length of the tower inside the frame, I stumbled and fell bum-first onto a low platform that rose less than three feet from the cobbled street. It was a stone plaque with a pen-and-ink picture of a big dog and a little boy with an inscription that said, “Nello and his dog Patrasche… symbols of eternal friendship, loyalty and devotion.”

Intrigued, I asked Pierre, our Belgian host if he happened to know what this was about. Pierre nodded “Ah… eetz a nice story!”

The path that led away from the cathedral was lined with taverns where people sat around little wooden tables, swigging away pints of golden froth. Pierre looked at them longingly, then walked towards one of the tables. I followed dutifully… he sat down and ordered one of their Belgian brews… and then having wet his whistle began his story…................................

Ever wondered why, while attacks in Mumbai keep happening, another 9/11 has not happened in the US? - The Sunday Indian

And every such blast also blows away into pieces the resolve that our government had taken during the previous attack – calling it a bold step against terror. And the saga continues...

The matter of the fact is that today, not only do we lack political will and stringent comprehensive laws to counter terrorism, our law enforcement agencies don’t even have a proper clue about the same. So much so, the terrorists are better versed about the loopholes in the existing anti-terror laws and abuse it to the hilt. And why shouldn’t they – not only are our laws old and crying to be updated, but they are also laden with loopholes. In spite of trapping the actual culprits, these laws have been used more to settle political and personal scores. Take for instance the Prevention of Terrorist Activities Act, better known as POTA, which was used by law enforcement agencies more to arrest people who were innocent rather than actual terrorists. The abuse and misuse of the law was so rampant that the law, for sometime, had to be repealed. For the uninitiated, this law was on the lines of UK’s Prevention of Terrorism Act and America’s PATRIOT Act. However, unlike our law, their laws strengthened the anti-terror operations and aided the counter-terrorism cell...........................

02 Jul '11

In the past quarter, the cricket fever hit the nation hard, after our victory in the world cup followed by the last season of IPL. Taking this fever to higher temperatures IIPM, Indore arranged a Cricket match on the 2nd of July’2011 under the Torque club.

With 4 teams playing in the preliminary rounds trying to score that coveted position in the finals and a chance to defeat our faculty, the entire atmosphere was filled with excitement. After a long rainy week, the city finally was blessed with a lovely sunny weather which just added to the exquisite atmosphere that was built up. Students of all sections and batches gathered to cheer for their favorite teams and players. With each six and four and all the catches and ibw’s the crowd just went crazy, screaming.

The atmosphere during the final match between the Faculty n the winning team, was so inviting that even the by standers were tempted and at many times showed the inclination to play along. The cheers doubled with the victory of their very own faculties.............

Wednesday, July 20, 2011


For a long time distance learning institutes were associated with regular courses in Humanities and Social Sciences with a few adventurous ones such as Annamalai venturing into Science streams as well. But in recent years, DL institutions have moved towards courses that have immediate employment potential. Offered in association with either a private institute or a corporation, these programmes have become a rage, though issues of quality, governance, academic control and cost do arise in these cases. But their ability to generate employable graduates is not in question anymore.......

COMMON SENSE SIMPLIFIED: THE TRACK OF DEATH

The Indian Railways is just not a mode of transport but is a legacy in itself. A mode of conveyance that carries more than 10 billion passengers every year, operates more than 15,000 trains every day, and covers almost four time distance between the earth and the moon and well, records in around 350 accidents every year — is a case study in itself.....

Typos: BETRAYAL AT CHAURI CHAURA

Thursday, August 12, 2010

The harm that good men do’, was an essay by Bertrand Russell that I never finished reading but was a heading I oft en thought about whenever I heard the name Gandhi being discussed… I had oft en witnessed disparate schools of thought converging on the notion that Gandhi the man, as well as Gandhi the idea, had often done more harm than good to the cause of this nation’s freedom, from both communalism and colonialism. Many years ago, on this very day, the 4th of February, near the town of Gorakhpur, there once lay 22 charred bodies and a few blackened bayonets. And amidst the rubble and ruins of that day, there also lay the smoking ruins of a nation’s aspirations. The year was 1922 and the place – a little known police station in a town called Chauri Chaura.....

Terror struck Mumbai again when three serial blasts in crowded areas killed 18 people and injured 113. The blasts took place in Dadar (West), Zaveri Bazar and Opera House.

Mumbai Police Commissioner Aroop Patnaik said it was a terror strike. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh asked Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan and Home Minister P Chidambaram to extend all possible help to the families of the dead and the injured.………………..

DICTATORSHIP OF THE SYCOPHANTS

[June, 2011]

The modern day Jalianwala Bagh at Ramlila Grounds shows the demonic attitude of the government, the weak spine of the opposition and the hypocrisy of the media towards Bharat!


My question is, are we living in a democracy or in a shamelessly unapologetic dictatorial regime? Has the government finally lost it totally? Or do they believe that the people of the country are so foolish that they will quietly accept any amount of dictatorship and vote them to power again in 2014?

MBA Mafia

Management education as a term has been defined, redefined and today it is being ill-defined. It's common knowledge that management education can be imparted after doing graduation in any stream, be it history, geography, economics, biology, engineering etc. The most important aspect of the above fact is that management is not that well developed a stream for which one has to spend years of education (5 years or more). What I mean is if one wants to do Masters in Geography, he necessary has to have a bachelors Degree in Geography and the same is with physics, economics, and all other streams of higher education. This is so as all these streams are very well developed and therefore to understand a Masters level theory for micro biology for example requires a perfect understanding of all the  graduation level theories of the same subject. All the other fields of post graduate studies are post graduate in nature because of the higher level of technicalities and theories in them........................................

THE GREAT INDIAN DREAM

- A 14% GROWTH RATE FOR INDIA, AND HOW TO ACHIEVE IT.
-A VISION TO CATCH UP WITH THE DEVELOPED WORLD IN 25 YEARS.
-A COUNTRY FREE OF POVERTY AND ITS RELATED ILLS.
-A GLOBALLY APPLICABLE PHILOSOPHY CALLED "HAPPY CAPITALISM" FOR A BETTER WORLD.

As the authors put it 'The Great Indian Dream' is about making India a developed nation where people live with dignity. In 25 years from today children should be taken to poverty museums like they are taken to the science museums. They should shiver at the sight of the way people used to live today because poverty should be a concept alien to them".

Its "The Great Indian Dream". Come share the dream.

 

'COUNT YOUR CHICKENS BEFORE THEY HATCH'

Extracts from the Book

If you think you can, you are right :

Just be passionate about what you think - is how the mgmt. guru Arindam Chaudhuri urges us to delve deeper and make headway into what the title of the book has in store for us.
They say “don’t count your chickens before they hatch”. They are correct. Every time you are about to sign a big contract in life, expect to meet with a fatal accident while getting out of the car on your way to signing the contract. In fact, every time you are about to start the greatest speech or concert of your life, expect to fall flat on the stage and break your nose. Or rather when your aircraft has landed safely don’t start thanking God, but expect to die due to a fall from the stairs while climbing down the aircraft. So what if you have written your exams to your utter satisfaction; don’t rejoice, but anticipate that your paper will get exchanged with that of the worst student of your class. Have you worked very hard on the most important project of your life? Stay put. On the day of submission, your computer will be attacked by the latest virus which will eat up your whole project without a burp.
