The Financial GLOBAL TSUNAMI !!!
The Melt down had to happen, but it would be so sudden and sharp - that it will consume all the Nations and will Jitter GLOBAL ECONOMY, which has affected one and all and has brought all of us to unimaginable situation or cross roads of our lives and careers will be re-shaped.
If we look at the pain each one of us is going through, because we were not prepared even 1% of the this BAD HIT. The Indian Economy, has been hit below the belt, while Western / European Economies have been hit on the FACE by this BIG FALL - The Financial Catastrophe. I think and feel this BIG FALL has made me more mature suddenly by accepting, experienceing the biggest GLOBAL FAILURE. I wish One and The Only One in my life time at the National / Global Level.
In India, though everyone including the experts from finance ministry and economic forums were saying we won't get affected, our economy is sound system is in place - the political punch line few days back "India is Andar se Majboot" - we are inherently strong it won't affect us!!!
But whats happening now, the cat - rat - dog race has started, every individual, every company and govt. is guarding itself and there are no strategies being discussed, just reactive tactics to sustain the life in these turbulent times. Only objective to live thru the STORM - Let this Financial Catastrophe gets over.....but no one knows when will it. Major Sectors have Freezed their Recruitments and we are reading news about re-trechment, salary cuts upto 90% LOW than the initial joining salary, Cos. have started focusing on cost cutting drives, no travels, virtual meetings are on. Panic is very much there. The Fears of financial repercussions are looming over each individuals mind. We have seen many torrid times of Political instability, Public unrest, War with Terror, Natural Disasters but this FINANCIAL TSUNAMI has hit us hard and unexpected. The lateral thinking has been lost. The Alternatives are not visible. Each one of us has been badly affected directly or indirectly
The unfortunate part for us Indians is it has happenned at the last year of the Govt. New elections are due in six months, in light of this the new initiatives will be limited & strategic planning has taken a toss atleast for two years.....the new elected Govt will plan and then implement the result of NEW INITITAIVES will be seen not before Agust 2011...Till the local intiatives will be limited by state govts. they don't plan the way Central Govt. does. They have limitations. They think local and regional, there is no unifromity in actions. 6 important states are due for State Assembly elections.
India's last 15 year favorite friend USA is unexpectedly is looking inwards after 73 years.
Indian govt., major corporates , Indian Share market, everybody is Clueless....The BIG DADDY they use to follow in terms of Knowledge, Skills and Attitude is down looking for bail out.
For last 15-20 years we have been dependent on US for Food for Thought so much it became a compulsory Feed, reading American Literature, Following American Ideology, following American Funda of Life and much more!!! So my friend things are grim but we have to find a way, many ways to keep our selves afloat and swim thru this Financial TSUNAMI.
I wish this period on Doldrums is over Early and we shall think Real, Act Practical and Live & Think - INDIAN.
Lets become IGNEOUS.
All The Best

I am Responsible!!!!
Breaking news on some Tv channels
Aajtak: Pita hi hai kaatil
Headlines Today: Headlines today cracks Aarushi murder mystery
Ndtv: Aarushi killed by her own father
.......
Some examples of how news channels draw its own conclusions even before the case has been presented in front of the judiciary.
Saw the Press conference the other day. The IG did not even know who was killed. He did not even know her name. Kept calling her Shruti. Noida Police have thrown themselves in a weird position now. The IGs statement was contradictory. On one hand he said that Aarushi was aware of her fathers extra marital affair and on the other hand he said that Aarushis father caught her in an objectionable position with the servant. I feel sorry for Noida Police and more so for the beautifully designed news channels we have in this country.
I hold the news channels responsible for spoiling a familys life. Why do they have their reporters stationed 24 X 7 outside Mr talwars house? Are they waiting for Nupur Talwar to commit suicide so that they can get some more spicy content out of it? Havent they got enough content as it is? Will these channels apologise to the nation if Mr talwar is held not guilty in this case?
The other day Nupur Talwar was interviewed by Ndtv. Other channels started analyzing this interview. Some said that Nupur Talwar did not even shed a tear so may be she's also involved. Now if she cries it would make 'great footage' and if she doesnt then shes also involved in the killing. When will this trial by media end?
I agree that each news channels has its own TG but there a lot of other people who are watching them apart from that defined TG. Are the news channels going to be punished for showing such irresponsible content on air? Is there a content code for news channels? If there is, are they following it? Who is keeping a tab on it? Do we all love watching anchors making a fool of themselves on headlines today? Do we like Khali so much that we don't want to know anything happening around the world? Are these really news channels or entertainment channels? Is there ever gonna be ONE reporter or a journalist who would put his/her foot down and say that i don't want to be stationed outside somebodys house throughout the day?
Will we ever get answers to these questions? I guess not!
If this is what news channels have to offer then i thank my stars that im in radio not TV.

Content is King!
Will private fm radio stations continue to air endless chatter that is devoid of quality content? Is music the only reason people tune into radio? Do the listeners want to hear shows that make value addition to their life? Can we make radio an appointment medium and not just a non intrusive, low involvement medium … just something that plays in the background? Therez a long way to go….
Every time you hear the familiar twang of radio jockeys, trying to deliver breathlessly the best they can in the shortest possible time, trying to sound as funny and cheerful as possible. Or every time you hear that same old bollywood mimickery ad break, or the “wannabe” funny, self proclaimed kings of comedy; you quickly switch to the station that’s playing music.
My point is that if we as radio people push the bar for the kind of content we provide while R.Js talk, then people will not switch off, rather get hooked on to the station. If R.Js talk about social issues which affect you and me, intellectually stimulating and opinion generating issues then will people switch off? I believe however uneducated or unaware a person is, he or she has strong opinions about something, be it power cuts, working mothers or rising prices. I am sure people don’t always want to hear about love problems, bollywood gossip or cricket! At least this way radio stations will land up sounding different from one another… for the kind of stuff they talk about. If they all continue playing the same music, same ads, talking about the same stuff, then god help the CEOs, COOs, stake holders and whoever else directly bears the brunt of competition!

Reservation
Can anyone explain why the creamy layer is excluded only from OBC reservation in central higher educational institutions and not SC/ST reservation for the same? It seems illogical and unfair!
Education: the process of rattafication and passing examination..???!!!
Pay 3-8 Lakh rupees and you'll get one of the much sought after MBA/engineering/computer/media/fashion/law degrees with a little bit of number crunching! Now academic excellence, intellectual mindset, pursuit of knowledge, these facets stand faceless in front of fat salaries and the lures of big cities and corporate life. Our government and private institutes of education, save a few are becoming factories that produce the so called professionals at an alarming rate. Degrees and certificates serve as stamps, as unseen markers that give us a space and identity in the rat race for jobs. The mushrooming coaching institutes, student suicides, fake degree rackets, these evils symbolise the increasing pressure on our education system.
What say we go back to the ancient system of gurukul education? Have we moved too far away from that? For education is now a mere process of "rattafication" (mugging up) and passing examinations!
