Public Companies

Safest way to earn good money is – job. But it works until the system you are working for is profitable. If system fails regardless of whose mistake is, a common employee will be the first one to suffer. People at the top know how to ditch the system – especially when our system (public companies) is full of foxes and vixen rather than true leaders. People at top fudge the numbers and shows profit for their tenure and get away with huge bonuses .

On IIT's Professors hunger strike for salary hike

Is this justified for Professors to do hunger strikes when they are supposed to be teaching students... especially in this economic downturn.. most of us comes from financially struggling families and worked hard.. how about the sons and daughters of small farmers or shopkeepers or single parents or no parents (orphans).. don't they have any right to get educated. India still can not provide the adequate education to every child.. a systematic failure of democracy .. no wonder we are ruled by a 'special family'. probably India's caste based culture is now converted to family based culture and everyone is ready to snatch others kids' bread to buy new toys for his or her kid. Comparing the professors with highly earned politicians is shame of their hard earned education. I am not sure if IITs are getting money from GOI to run the institutions every fiscal year. If answer is 'no' and the institutions can easily generate enough revenue to meet the expenses, autonomy makes perfect sense. Autonomy implies 'don't bother each other'. Hunger strike sounds OK for a crime victim or 'blue collared labor union' as a desperate attempt to be listened. Mahatma Gandhi did it when we did not have our Government. Now though incompetent, but we have one. Instead of doing hunger strikes, it will be better if these intellectuals come up with a business plan to be self sustainable. And I am sure that the professors or VC of these institutes can easily set an appointment with Ministry of Human Resource Development. For Ministry too, instead of pumping money to a few elite institutions, if a general Government fund can be formed and any new or expanding institute can get money from it. For the time, they are owed by Government, they are made to follow the GOI's conditions and affirmative actions (reservations). Ultimate goal should be to make all the institutions run as autonomous and financial suffice. They can generate multiple streams of earnings from consulting projects, fees and research funds.

Your Safety in Your Hand

This is what Indian Government should do- prepare a self defence squad in every school, religious place and road of the country. Since Government can not provide enough security to common people and all the police force is busy to protect our octogenarian leadership, people has to start protecting themselves and their loved ones. It is especially true now, when Israel and US has issued the warning to their citizens for not traveling to country. Ideally I am not a big fan of guns floating everywhere and oppose the relaxed gun laws in US. But it appears OK if there is none to protect you and hardly any response from 100 (Indian version of 911). Though there is still one problem - If guns are available in open market, most likely bad and rich people will be the first to buy (poor people need food and education for their kids- at least in India) and they can use it to exploit others. But learning self defense techniques is always good (especially for vulnerable people such as women and children) since it gives you confidence to tackle the problem and most of time active brain wins than guns.

A stupid idea from a stupid government

http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/asiapcf/08/13/sex.or.tv/index.html

What else Indian politicians cum jerks can think. That's what they are doing from last 60 years and that's all they can do. They will not ask their special vote bank to reduce the numbers. They will try these gimmicks. Will they ever think that one possibility can be- Indian women having octuplets through in vitro (quack clinical trials of producing boys) or increase in teenage pregnancies. Still child marriages are not completely banished in minorities and rural areas. Indian Government itself is a comedy show on TV.


Seems like old man, father of 24 unknown kids, is more intelligent than Indian health minister.

On Indian Students' assaults in Australia

This is the stupidity on Indian students part too. Why are they paying such a high price to study in the universities where their lives are not secure (parents' unlimited access to money in world's most corrupt country has a role to play in this)? Random degrees from random universities can not secure you a good career. Leave the wild and inhuman country and invest in Indian schools and colleges to make 100 IITs every year. Make the separate institutions for SCs, STs and minorities instead of giving them sits without hard work to manage the quality of education (as is the case in US). Don't lower the standards but raise the ambitions.

Can slumdogs ever be made to stay in homes??

From last three days Sara Sidner, CNN's reporter from India, is showing the reports of slums demolition in Mumbai. Her stars of these news are our beloved slumdogs of Slumdog Millionaire. Why these child artists are still living in slums if their movies earned 386 million USD and won 8 Oscars? Why should Indian Government be held responsible and suppose to provide these people free land? They should ask money from Danny Boyle, producer and director of movie. I can not understand why the international media drag Indian Government especially if the slumdogs are from Indian minorities. Is this also fault of Indian Government that one of child actor's father try to sell her to a Saudi family.

And talking about the situations of minorities in USA. Since the access of easy money in USA was less last year, many Hispanic huntings took place same time. These hardworking people are being made to live in old pipes since they cannot rent apartments without photo IDs and SSN. Recently a report showed that many Hispanic women are sexually abused because of their visa status and lack of English knowledge. African American minority in US has higher percent of HIV incidents than people in African countries. Their houses in DC and Baltimore tell their stories. Many are passing lives on benches in public parks.

Sarah Sidner on behalf of CNN should recommend US Governments to open some slums in US major cities too.

Juvenile Devil

http://www.indianexpress.com/news/if-proven-juvenile-kasab-might-get-only-3-yrs-in-prison/450763/2

This is interesting!! I guess sometime Indian judiciary system goes far to save criminals. yes criminals. In a country of one billion people, common Indian lives have no value or at least less than a terrorist from Pakistan. Old Indian saying - Guest is God!!

Well, what if this guest comes with Machine guns and kill innocent people without any self protection? Gandhi's idealism of getting slap on both chick does not work here, since you can die only once (I am sure these devils will waste bullets on even dying human too). If Muslims allow to follow Sharia matrimonial laws, which include marriages at younger age than 18 years (In India, marriage laws are meant only for Hindus and registered marriages), they should not be considered as juvenile. And setting age on the basis of wisdom tooth sounds even more ridiculous- my 2 years younger sister got wisdom teeth before than I did.
