No Comments on Banter epitomized by vulgarity.

I rarely spend time watching T.V.

Last night, I switched my T.V.,to be abreast with the world.

A famous channel was putting up a show.

The predominant effect of this weekly show was to make people laugh.

Laughter is the best medicine for all ills.

Its motto is fine.

Its text is banality.

People were tickled by the ill humour.

Idealism can be promoted either way.

You can indulge in a dedicated style.

You can also involve in a notorious conduct.

Yesterday’s telecast brought thunderous applause.

It invoked loud laughter.

At the height of the enjoyment, there was a cheap dialogue, illicit sentiments,irrevrential behaviour.

They said ,it was a representation of the anecdotes in a family.

It did not.

I very well know, that theatre is an exaggeration of life.

Enrich the virtues by elaborating them.

Subdue the obscenity by subsidising them

Yesterdays exhibit was devoid of dignity and respect.

The channel is extremly successful.

Its viewershipi is extraordinary.

This particular show,is the most popular of all .

Unfortunately, it does not live up to it.

We understand that,

Humour is a therapy.

Humour is a quality.

Humour is an acknoweldged credential.

Its excellence is found in a presentation underlined d by subtlety,contextual wit, dainty movements.,

and lucid conversations.

Instead lewd jokes, incorrigible body language,provacative attire, indecent exchange of words are now branded as banter.

Media is vested with enormous power.

It should promote decorum

It should shun profanity.

Paulson’s Bail out plan was paused by the house on Monday 29/Sep/2008

A sad day for wall street, but a glorious day for democracy-Joseph Stiglitz-Nobel Laureate.

The Dow plunged by 777 points.

Two days later the senate passed the bill.

On Friday .3/October/2008, the House voted for the bill.

Paulson emerges victorious.

He confides that he will use the funds methodically.

A cute remark.

The men who inflicted the wounds doctor it.

It may sound ridiculous superficially.

Deep down ,the anguish has established a melancholic strain.

The U.S recession is unfathomable.

The progress of the 700 billion $ plan is a million dollar question.

The enthusiasm in the wall street is missing.

The investors are dazed.

The Nation is bewildered.

Regulators are injected into the economy.

Strict watch has been infused into credit disbursements.

Appraisals of toxic assets are initiated.

Funds are to be utilised after serious implications.

Nursing back the economy is laborious.

Nurturing requires utmost diligence and care.

The rescue plan can be defined thus,

The cause prescribes the medicine.

It is a symposium that reveals the startling truth.

Politicians – an altered ethos..

No Comments on Politicians – an altered ethos..

Politics is the last resort of the scoundrel -adage.

Right, this is taking politics to extremes.

But , there is a grain ,I hear people mumble , there is volumes of truth in it.

This breed of society, of late, are wrenching and hacking the community .

States are squeezed,treasury is squandered,coffers are emptied, ethics are devestated by their interruptions.

Politicians empower the nation with despair and despondency.

The first world war , the second world war, the Vietnam war, the Iraq invasion, the Cuban affair,the latest Georgia intrusions are glaring illustrations of political morbidity.

The outcome is nothing to revel upon.

Blood shed, deaths, unintelligible deployment of arms and ammunition,panic and exasperation are the resulting diaspora.

Patriotism is a quality of yore.

Love for the country is an outdated tempo.

Genuine progress and systematic development are remote applications.

Dynamism is the least found ideal of the modern politician.

Nowadays,

Power is the best concoction

Money is an exemplary enthrallment.

Arrogance is the ornate gusto.

Defiance is the decorative virtue.

Politicians corrupt the mind.

They tarnish the society.

They agitate the economy.

Finally they end up by ruining the nation.

We are Sound.

Following the Lehman Bros collapse. the ICICI Bank in India is shaky.

IcIcI ‘s exposure to Lehman bros is the cause for this wobbliness.

Last week ,an unexpected turn to the bank’s composure took place.

Kayalpatinam . a small hamlet ‘in Tuticorin district ,Tamilnadu, was the venue for this non pareil exposition.

Thousands of customers queued up in the ATM centeres to draw cash.

The authorities showed undue patience and resilience in satisfying all.

The top brass of the bank ,came out with no worry messages.

They confidently announced, the exposure to Lehman could be made up in a single day.

Remember,”Security is mortals chiefest enemy “.says Shakespeare.

Uncertainities loom large.

The shares of Icici bank slide -450 -500 RS

A few days after, Chennaites ,became restless.

Again ,an inimitable rush to the banks branches and ATMs.

Advertisements in the papers read ,the Bank is sound,.

Banners were put up in important city centres proclaiming that ICICI is in the pink of its health,

“All is well with the Bank'”.

The Reseve bank Of India gave a credit tag recently spelling out that ICICI is safe.

Anyhow,the past accounting year saw a very average performance

Its overseas branches are making losses..

This private bank ,poses itself as a super market for finance products.

It boasts of high performance large volumes of credit transaction, speedy transfers, and excellent customer satisfaction.

Thinking Big ,is praise worthy.

Working Safe ,is risk worthy.

ICICI has been pushed to a detrimental commitment.

It has to deviate from the path which was least treaded by others.

But has to proceed in the road much traversed.

Faith and trust are the fundamentals to robust insinuations.

Expansion unpresumable. expression novel,enhanced enthusiasm are preambles to default implications

Reflex Economy

Change is the only thing which is permanent.

Growth heralds life.

Assimilation of words enriches a language.

Flexibility in attitude brings harmony.

So is economics.

The crisis era has not only signalled turmoil

It has moderated economics.

The subject is expanding horizontally.

Th blood bath in which we are rightly in has proclaimed many collapses.

If lehman Bros files bankruptcy, Asian stocks tumble.

If Washington Mutual falls.,European index comes down

Buffet bolsters Goldman by investing cheaply.

There is an uptrend in the stock market.

Morgan takes stakes in Washington Mutual.

There is subdued cheer all over.

The back offices of these banks are closed world over.

An air of job displacement prevails.

Infosys and TCS get their fingers burnt.

They slow down their work pace.

More crippling news is awaited

The world has to wake up to the reality.

Economy is undergoing an alteration.

The turn may be highly intimidating.

it may be entirely off the mark.

It may be a percussor of estranged harmony.

Unfortunately , it is rushing in.

It cannot be prevented.

The trials and rancour the world has to face ,is depressing.

This branch of economics ,is added by the clueless, greedy ,ostentatious breed of officials.

We are stunned.

But we are helpless too.

We have to move with the tide

Otherwise we will be branded as a species of anachronism.

Buying a car

Ten to fifteen years back buying a car in India was damn easy.

Only two variants were available-Ambassador and fiat.

People with a large family and who loaded the car to the brim preferred Ambassadors.

The choice of Fiat was for the person who loved style.

The price was almost the same.

They fitted the Indian road condition perfectly.

Now the Indian market is flooded with umpteen variants.

BMW ,Mercedez Audi ,caters to the uppermost strata of society.

Nissan Teana, Toyota camry, Pajero,Honda CRV suits the upper class.

Skoda octavia, Innova, Toyota Altis, Volkswagon Jetta, Honda , cheverlote, Ford ,Hyundai’s certain models

are bought by the miidle order rich.

Tata ‘sIndica & Indigo, Maruti,Hyundai ‘s low end models, are for the clients of moderate means.

The recent launch Rs onelakh Nano is the most attractive.

The average Indian is baffled to see so many models.

Earlier ,cars were symbols of prosperity.

Now as loans are available in plenty, the volume of sales has increased manifold.

The advent of efficient models ,have increased road traffic.

Chaos ,confusion and pollution add to the prevalent congestion.

Roads In India remain rough and bumpy.

The speed breakers in near frequencies, produce solid bumps on the head of the passenger.

Bumps in the roads and bumps in the head,give a whimsical picture.

Travel is a pleasure in most countries.

In India travel is a travail.

Cars may come in different shape, in trendy design, with fine capacity, ,but the roads remain the same.

Indians would have been a happier lot with ambassadors and Fiats

Economy

The fall and rise.

The era of capitalism is drawing to a close.

Regulations are switched on to prevent further economic meltdown

A few decades back banks were modest.

They were a wee better than private lending companies.

Every advance was accomplished after deep analysis.

Credit was sanctioned after studying the worthiness of the borrower.

Equal or a little less valued collateral were taken as additional security.

The shareholder sand the depositors were less worried about their investments.

The banks took utmost care.

Now the banks wear a flashy attire.

They have a high profile.

They have a show of supermarkets.

Credit cards, debit cards, of different category have pushed in.

The drab soberity gave way to lively glamour.

The externals overswept the internals.

The flimsy terms overwhelmed the fine techniques.

Stage overtook home.

In the mileu the value was drowned.

Credibility was interred into dust.

Unmindful lending led to sub prime crisis.

The executives lost their keel.

Bank after bank collapsed like a pack of cards.

Now Paulson is wailing from wilderness.

He is crying hoarse.

He is urging quick approval of rescue plans

Bush has sanctioned 700 billion$ to bail out the nation.

As an ultimatum,

The taxpayer is ripped off his least belongings.

It is the time to adopt stringent measures.

The high fliers are to be tracked down.

“Masters Of universe”will have to be content with two cars ,one home and no private jets-Irwin Kellner.

Americans have to realise the naked truth and reconcile to reality.

The rise of socialism is peeping in.

A pictorial hue

Ketty is set in the western ghats of India.

It is a small town,a few miles down Ooty in Nilgris South India.

I spend a few days out there,every now and then.

My two bedroomed cottage is locked in sylvan surroundings.

I am very fortunate to own such a beautiful property.

It is atop a small hillock.

A tiny rivulet is flowing beside silently.

Down below ,the valley runs deep.

Up above ,the hills raise high.

The sight is spectacular.

The valley is sparsely inhabited.

A few colonial houses with lush green lawns are found in equal distances.

The dangling flower beds ,of roses, dahlias, marigold, chrysanthemum,hexoras, in the sprawling bungalows, present a colourful hue

Perched on a mound ,I gaze through.

My eyes behold a scenario of inexpressible beauty.

Let me share the beatitude with you all.

The grey hills with their big brown trees, aspire to touch the clear blue sky.

The blue water turns a shimmering silver in the sun.

The lush green valley throws out patches of mild green cabbages ,luscious red carrots, strains of fleshy beige coloured potatoes,.and big wholesome white cauliflowers.

The surrounding is quiet ,silent ,except for the munching noise of a few high bred cows grazing in the thick green pastures.

I languish in the bright sun.

The imperial glamour ,the stupendous finery ,the ornate splendour enwrap me.

The enriching panorama renders me mute.

Words are demeaning in such wonderful rhapsody.

Actions are disgusting in such heavenly reverie.

The I in me gets diffused.

The ego is disintegrated.

The spirit is revived,

I disappear

I am decimated.

I feel light.
