The fear in us..

What keeps us trying?

The fear in us.

Well , what is the fear in us?

I know not.

Jai Ho


Rabindranath Tagore, won the Nobel prize for literature. His song Jana gana mana became the national anthem of India. It ends with jaihei, Jai hei jayajaya jayahei.

Jai Hind is the greeting of all Indians. Now Jai Ho  in Slum dog Millionaire,,written by Gulzar, and the music composed by A.R.Rehaman ,Has won the Oscar , the much coveted award of film artistes.

Yes , Jai ,means victory. It relates to triumph, a most ceremonial celebration.Rehman has made India proud by winning this award.  

India is a land of music. IF MUSIC BE THE FOOD OF LOVE , THEN PLAY ON,quoth Shakespeare. Music is dominant in every activity of life.  right from singing lullaby, to the weeping of the dead, there is music. The beats vary, the rhythm differ, the tone modulates, the cadence is  at different levels, the pitch is modified, and the presentation alters. , according to circumstances.

Music is innate in every Indian. He thinks music, talks music  and believes in music.Certain  Indian languages , have a  drawl   and a motion ,that speech itself is   similar to tender  music.Certain other languages , have a beat and notation that the talk appear to be a harmonic band. Few other languages sound chirpy and sizzling ,that they expose a vibrancy.

Notation, harmony profound feelings   and vibrancy along with voice modulation present  a heavenly music.

The power of music , is such that, it exudes happiness  in a joyful rhythm, it expresses sorrow in  a melancholic strain, it pours out profound feelings in dragging tenor, it vibrates a zodiac stir in the  beat of the band, it keeps good humour in  the kindred notes.

Music diffuses the soul and dispassionately divulges the eternal truth.

A.R. Rehman , has won the hearts of the people world over, as music outwits languages, outsmarts individuals, overwhelms culture, and out stretches boundaries.

Music is for all the senses, is for permeated atmosphere, is for all souls.

Play on to the world’s well being.

The Hand That Rocks The Cradle.


The fairer sex,as they are cordially addressed, have done immense work in raising a family, in building a nation, and formulating a society.

The women’s job , begins at home, similar to Charity ,which begins at home.The house has to be set in order, before anything could be accomplished.The family ,is a prime important schedule for the woman. The children ,are the apple of her eyes, and rearing them properly,with good nourishment, is to take care of their physical health, to cater to the educational aid, is  to look into the evolution of the intellect, and have a thorough insight of their social obligations,is  to evaluate the mental balance and well being.

This commitment takes much of her time. The oneness in the family, keeping the husband and children together ,is her main responsibilty. If they go asunder, then the chaos will lead to unimaginable terror.

Her career, comes next. To serve the family and also to  toil in the office ,needs courage and patience. Going ,by the saying “you cannot serve two masters”, the poor lady has to look into this ,as well as that ,to keep her going. This . she does well, and performs better than her male counterpart..Her income adds comfort and a little more facility to her family.

The commitment to the Nation, is her third score. Mostly, a few take to this course. Those , who opt for this part of programme, need extra energy and erudite skill to participate. Th ey excel in their duties and outshine in their performance as leaders.Indira gandhi, of India  was referred as the only man in her cabinet, as all her crew were dubbed as  chicken hearted . Margaret Thatcher ,was hailed  as an iron Lady. Golda meir , was known for her stellar performance as the Prime Minister Of Israel. Many others follow. but these are the outstanding ,which gush into the mind

The women ,though physically fragile, possess a strong mental framework. Can you imagine  the  theme of a family without  the lady of the house? It is the micro which acts on the macro. The atom becomes an element.The nucleus circumvents into a nuclei.

The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.-an emphatic empathy.

Obama Needs Time


Obama has been the President of U.S for just a month and a half.He has become the most powerful man at the most powerless economic scenario. His potency and potentiality ,though apparently  overwhelming,virtually have limited scope. he has to discern, to look into procedures with great care, to probe into anomalies with definite introspection, to have a keen insight of the country’s requirement, and monitor each and every single development with apprehension.

He has to be a full time office goer. A little relaxation will run into chaos. A small distraction will plunge the State in a dilemma. A slight fall back will lead to commotion. A tiny error will herald a gorgreous tumble.

His team , has to work day in and day out ,to bring in a restoration of livid economy and revive the deranged spirit of the people. We witness a practically numbed atmosphere a seducing calmness which threaten the very existence.Many unemployed  are quivering at their  future.The faces of frightened children, worried mothers, and depressed men  provoke anger at one end and distress at other.

Where has the money gone? This gnawing question keep on ringing in every mind. The real answer to this query is, it has gone into the hands of greedy CEO’s, infidel politicians, and the naughty elites.Madoff, Stanford ,have pocketed loads of money in a few years. Pocketing loads of money ,sounds like a paradox.Ain’t  it? Well that is what they have done. Stripped the layman of his shirt and have laid him bare chested on the lane.

Do  these men have a heart? How to reprimand them?.They have stealthily looted the nation.

Obama has a hard task ahead of him. He has to work really hard to set right the economy. He has to work overtime,to reform the society. The value of education has to be tracked back. Morals have to be attended to. Thrift and savings have to be brought back. These two qualities have been forgotten by the present day Americans. Obama has to evince personal supervision in the area of education , as the Americans have slackened in this particular  vital attribute.

Let us give time to Obama to work out his plans.

Speculation


Speculation is a game. It is highly risky and highly dangerous. It is essentially a gamble.It jacks you up to unprecedented levels. All the same it drags you into  unimaginable  destinies. The win or loss is tremendous.The heart should be strong to face both fortune and mishap.

Speculation is not for all. People with ideals and with the penchant to make money in regular phase will never opt for it. The quick money , you make in derivatives, in stocks and commodities make you swim in luxury and wallow in wealth. But ,you  tends to forget,that  the way anything comes, the way it will go. The money ,thus earned in short duration , temptsyou  to reinvest the same in  varied portfolios . So goes the investment cycle,that one day it comes to a grinding halt. The funds are nowhere to be seen. We have a bundle of papers ,called share certificates.Now even the physical handling has given way to demat procedures.You have only the account details.

A year back , you were worth about a million, but today you have less than a thousand.No one is spared from such derailment, even the investing guru, Warren Buffet and his Berkshire investment company have fallen prey to the economic Tsuanami.

2007 -2008 saw a stock market boom. As early as 2008 , there was a down turn. Money started diffusing, Stocks withered. Nothing could stop the fall. A sad sordid state of affairs moves on. The loss is spine breaking, heart rending, and nerve racking. The abstract pain has surmounted the physical suffering. The vicious circle goes on with full vigour and with high tenacity.The gruesome ,gripping circumventions plague the silhouttes and nestling spaces.

Let us learn a lesson from Twain’s nugget, better not to speculate when you can afford, and when you cannot.Let us keep what we have safely in our niche and lie down peacefully, till something changes for the better.

Tackling The Unwitted


It is easy to deal with intelligent people, than with imbeciles.This is a task, I am performing right from my adulthood.A family ,which I am familiar, rather to which I belong by martial ties,is a perfect showcase of ignorance. It is explicitlyseen,but they foolishly feign their weakness by exhibiting arrogance.

Authority corrupts the sane. .Just imagine the outcome ,if it is vested on an individual with nothing to his merit. By nothing, I mean,education, not highly learned,but the basic rudiments of language and mathematics, exposure , I intend, not interaction with scholars and business magnates,but the exchange with minmumqualified persons, and finally admission,not approving every move ,but moderating the correct advance at the right moment..The family’s self appointed head, assumed importance ,just because he is the eldest male member of the family,is the watershed of all these anointed ideals,has destroyed the progress of every single member, right from a fifty seven year old brother, to a month old grand neice.

Eleven long years , he is managing the properties of the family and manipulating the income ,thus rendering damage to all.If called for account details, he scribbles something in an one side paper ,and presents the same to the solicitor, and mediators. The legal counsel,is not abreast with accounts, nor informed of the income from the business,such that he is not able to make headway into partition. The mediators. preoccupied with their own activities and a little above the level in understanding than the protagonist ,fail to delve further into negotiations.

As a reward. the educated ,highly placed g branch of the family stands an unfair chanceand succumbs to immeasurable loss . It is not the finance that is being usurped , but also the peace of mind that is being thawarted by untrue allegations and prejudiced remarks..

How to tackle the unwitted?

Economy In Shambles


Buffet confirms that the economy is in shambles.Pretty hell!. Did it take so much time for Buffet to realise the fact. Buffet, the investing wizard, tried to fish in troubled waters. Fish ,did he, by buying out shares in falling banks with assured return of 10%.Plug ins and loopholes in the sliding market , posed a deal for him. He made merry money while others witnessed a desperate tumble.

I,for one ,admire Buffet for his tenacity and acumen. But ,I got the spokes ,when he entered into an investing spree amidst dismal failure.Where did he see the light? How was he able to track down the portfolio?was he superhuman?Thank goodness, many did not follow his lead. If done, we would have flushed tonnes of money down the lane.

Now , Buffet has learnt the lesson. He thought , he could modify the economy ,by applying not relevant techniques, not so close macro and micro economic theories, and not radical thinking. His contention was out of box thought. But the devil proved otherwise. No one is above me,is the Economy”s challenge. True , no amount of bail out , no offerings of stimulus package, no task of interest rate cuts, no successful bid of containing crude oil price, could revive the economy.All these negations have added fuel to the fire.

The world has become an anvil unto the beating of sorrow. There is lot of unemployment, lot of misery in the share and stock markets, lot of loss in industrial sector, lot of wholesale wipe out of funds in banks, and financial institutions.

Buffet,  I wish to say “you are no exception”.

Head Over Heels


Can anyone explain the phrase “head over heels ‘ “?thundered my English Professor.Many a hand  shot up. The Professor was delighted.Enthusiastically he bade his students to come out with teir interpretation.

There started the gibber and jitter. A romantic young man, came up with the most fascinating deal. His rendition of a meeting with a most beautiful girl in the town, was nostalgic. The portrayal of beauty was so exciting and dramatically he pulled in the phrase that he had fallen head over heels for the girl. He requested the Professor to negotiate the alliance for him.

The next scholar came up with portrait of a fantastic hills. He raved  in rhetorical poesy, and delivered a rhapsodic description of the snow clad hills rising up,as though touching the clear blue sky. The colour concept was a fantasy aand concluded how he fell head over heels at the awe inspiring nature’s delicacy.

The teacher was revelling at his students erudition.He inimitably congratulated himself for his teaching skill’

Then came the most mundane of all the class . He was a lad, who eschewed imagery, imagination, allegory and metaphor. He learnt the language , not for  literary pursuits, nor for the love of it. He wanted to acquire communication skill. he did succeed in his attempt. His effort in deciphering the meaning of the phrase,made us open our jaws, raise our eyebrows and frown our forehead, but it also pointed out to the most remote direction. He bluntly put forth, that sixteen banks have failed so far this year, in just two months . I feel ,that the economy has fallen head over heels.

It was a disturbing fact., The class was shocked. The splendid atmosphereprevalent so far, of beauty of a person and the grandeur of nature ,came to a sudden close. The gory economy has ruined the high ideals and lovely themes.  The professor ,sat dumbfounded. The class was  driven to a quick serious efficacy.

That Is Me


A piquant situation, I am in. I have been a staunch  follower of righteousness . I have thrown away infidelity that came across my way . Never bothered to turn around and look at them. In the milieu , I have lost tonnes of money but  earned a reputation as a tough person. It is a loss in both ways, financially and personally.

Tough , yes ,I am . True , yes, I am. Transparent ,yes ,I am. These three, tough , true and transparent go well with me. I shun display .I hate exaggeration. I abhor lies. I  play a second fiddle to none. I adhere to positive advances and admit my faults.

I was coaxed by , a friend that if I agree to certain unimaginable modifications in my  family business ,I stand to gain. I was pushed out of gear. I struck stiff . My friend called me an impractical person.

I was forced to give a voluminous loud applaud to one of my siblings,. I was flabbergasted. He is the root cause of all misfortune and why on hell, I should subscribe to his viles. Indirectly the bait was laid.They thought , I would succumb to their trap,but once again my fortitude took the toll.

This unfaltering  attitude of mine has been misconstrued by many as exalted ego , unassailable impudence, and absolute brash. Well . That is me.,
