Whetting The Appetite.


The Fed is concerned about the wrecked economy but not equally condescending towards wrecked lives.

Unemployment is staring hard.

Hundreds of American graduates will face the sign “No Employment”, in the years to come.They would be in a catastrophic cataclysm, in the most abysmal precipice, so  that a generation would be doomed , if  steps are not taken seriously  to create jobs.

Every month the Fed has to create 300,000 jobs.A missed step would bring with it a stream of woe and  disillusionment .

Many young Americans would be put up to enormous hardships. Their would not be earnings. The fiscal situation sounds alarming and indignation prevails among the majority.

The Obama administration has satisfied itself of reviving the economy  to the brink by introducing the stimulus. But the package has proved insufficient for complete recovery.

The political churning has stopped the liberal transposition ,as the Republicans were not in favour of further advances and the Democrats also shied away  from extending pay outs.

Constrained by this political  gimmicks and unwelcome symptoms the Obama government had to subjugate itself  to an insufficient quota ,thus rendering an uneasy work out that could not complete the project to the fullest  satisfaction.

The drawback of not fulfilling the commissioned bail out to the best of the purpose has left the machinery in a state of perplexity .The half-finished programme has let the government badly  and made Bernanke’s vision an unfledged dream.

The senate has to gratify the public ,by sanctioning a compensatory  lukewarm tenement ,thus enforcing a comfortable schedule  to reopen a new avenue  in the field of employment.

Jobs can not be created in a haphazard fashion. They have to come out of the establishment of new industries , inducting infrastructure  emoluments and restructuring the closed financial institutions.

To do these , the government needs money . The funds have  to be in surplus ,as paucity leads to derailment.The elected representatives have to take a careful look  and react appropriately,keeping in mind the youth of U.S..

The Nervous Economy


The Economy is still nervous and it needs support.

Without the stimulus , it is bound to fall.

The Japanese government has opened up a stimulus package to direct the economy in the right path.

The gold surge has come to a halt.

It went so high that the metal became an intangible buy.

Along with it ,its sibling silver was steadily moving ahead.

Now ,both the precious metals are closing down , creating a respite among the buyers.

The stocks which were etching out an upward move , seem to progress in a restricted manner.

There seems to be a buoyancy on a few days , punctuated by a strong restriction on the other days.

That is business . The ups and downs mean true business. If there is an expectation of always high hike then there will not exist any transaction.

The charm in business ,is in the rise and the fall. The rise forces a sell and the fall assumes a buy.So much so, the interest tagged to real value in business is the sweet blow up and the bitter pull down.

This tempo maintains a competition ,that is encouraging and at the same time associates with a momentum that will enliven the economy.

The time has come , where the economy has reached a status that is expected ,and that is in not static.

The year 2009  will end up with the right spirit, almost nullifying the downtrodden feeling that prevailed in 2008.

The year 2010 will rule up with a simmering hope of great acceptance of the economy  as it appears in its raw threshold.

The world would have to ike out a possible procedure to bring in a stamping significance in upholding the sordid scope in which Economy has been cast.

Big Holes In The Economy.


Economy is torn.

There are huge holes , heavy dents and radical crossbones.

A torn cloth , if mended never regains its original face.

A glass once broken cannot be fused together.

Adhesives do a job ,but not a completes one.

The shattered economy is in rags.

Geithner and Bernanke tried their best to attach the loose bits together.

They  did succeed to some extent, but were pulled by the rousing tempestuous frailties  which again endangered the closing survival.

The governments of all nations initiated a stimulus , a bailout, a funding to raise the economy  from  mortuary.

Few administrations were successful, but the rest were culpable to  the ill planning and wrongful programmes.

The world is frigid . It  is  frozen .

Reasonable schedules, indefatigable promotions, risky endeavours were deployed to extricate the economy.

It just rose its head.

suddenly a new issue surfaced ,giving a blow to the convalescent economy.

The finances were muddled.

The inexplicable forces are dragging the economy southwards.

The latest is the failure of the Dubai World.

A revival is not in the vicinity.

The holes are becoming larger and larger, that it is difficult to darn them.

A sincere attempt to  give  a sane covering  proves fatal.

The illicit , illegal amass of wealth, the hoardings , the tax evasion, the corruption that shroud the economy are  so deep that it is highly    impossible to relay the economy back in shape.

A stitch in time saves nine, goes the maxim.

A timely needling could have decreased the violent break down.

The fed failed.

The European governments were  ovesighted.

The Asian , specifically China and India did well to sustain the crash.

These nations ,once dubbed poor economies have shown an exemplary performance.

Concluding  with Matthew Arnold’s words,

“they also serve ,who stand and wait”

The once embittered nations have made a fabulous recovery, making the rich western counterparts blink in awe.

Resurgent Departure.


Economical activity is  seemingly a resurgence , and apparently a departure.

The resurgence is marked by a hike in the index of stock trading.

The departure is pronounced by  unemployment.

The oxymoron of  surging fall is creating a worldwide dissatisfaction.

The rebounding finance is pulled down by joblessness.

Every quarter reflects a displacement of jobs and in U.S. alone there is 10%  unemployment.

Another important factor that is extricating the economy from  jubilation is the fraud and deceit .

The greed of the higher-ups in the corporate world is beyond comprehension. The circumscribing indulgence of the top brass evolves an infringement of accumulation.

Nearly 552 banks are in trouble in U.S.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have registered a voluminous loss .

The demand  to equip the mortgage  companies is extremely huge ,that  calls for a wide spread  bail out plan .

The autos are still reflecting in heavy losses.

Bankruptcy of many a prominent conglomerates are on the anvil.

The transitional fray is still not so remarkable .

The revenue oriented resurgence is yet to take off.

The spending faction is embarking on a departure , emphasised by a not so reviving economy .

There is a virtual uneasiness and a paid distraction that compels governance to take a second look at the  programmes they have charted out.

A symptomatic treatment to the economy has not provided a charming intuitiveness.

It has not cured the illness but has suppressed the invalidity for a temporary duration.

An explosion is bickering around .

The world is awaiting a conscientious threatening that may blast out at any given time.

Lead kindly Light


A beautiful caption, that would best fit the present economic  scenario.

The gloom lies so heavy on the shoulders of the world financial .

The depression is  extremely melancholic .

The acute diffidence of unemployment is inscrutable.

The chronic ulceration of the finances is despicable.

Yet they say there is a small slow recovery.

Therein comes this caption Lead kindly Light,.

The economy like the  night is dark, a step ahead is a kind favour.

The robust economy did not claim an extension of good will.

The weak economy is demanding a beacon to guide it  with charm and courage.

Fear is looming large.

A precaution is forcing a meritorious recovery.

A dangling distinction is entreating a creditable renaissance.

A fragrance of perseverance is vital to assure a strong recovery.

A forceful dedication should be embarked.

The financial portrayal had its pleasant picture and a garish depiction all through these years.

The inspiration behind this legalised banner is the unseen spirit.

Once again  an application is forwarded  to the infinity to restore health to the damaged economy.

This injection of faith would take the economy over  “the crag and torrent”and fondle a nurturing association that would impress a high demanding edge.

A hundred percent recovery would be possible with the resurrection of “lead kindly light”

The Begininig Of The End


Begining  takes time.

End comes in no time

Growth requires duration.

Degeneration  sets in quickly.

So ,when the end is drawing near , a winding up is so sudden and so surprising.

This was explicitly felt in Nilgris ,during the heavy rainall that rocked the lovely hilly district Of Tamilnadu, in South india.

The amily of louis , who had gone to sleep in the night , did not wake up, rather there was no remnance of them, the next morning.

The neighbours , who had seen them last evening, could not get a trace of them the next day.

The house was completely buried in the debris. The seven member Louis family also got interred in the soil.

A deadly mourning looms large over the hilly region.

Houses are hanging in mid-air.

Roads are  broken.

Electricity is disrupted.

Land keep  on sliding .

Last week,

Rain was pouring in torrence.

People lay in utter fear and absolute terror.

What is going to happen next?

A deep thinking and a keen look out of the miserable scenario would reveal a disgusting truth.

This debacle is man-made.

It is we ,who have recklessly indulged in building flats, cottages.

The soil in this region does not permit high raised buildings.

But we , out of greed , keep on enhancing the storeys .

The floors ,yield money, filling our coffers.

The land slip would have not occurred  except for this unmindful prologue.

The water would have flown through the channels  freely , if not for irrational constructions.

As usual ,the rich benefit , the mid income group and the lower strata receive the brunt .

It is they who suffer, who get hurt, who lose their lives, who  subdue and diffuse in melancholy.

An Unrelented Horror.


The beautiful hilly country Afghanistan ,is waxing in terrorism.

The Afghan Pathans have lost their relevance.

They have been battered by war and riots .

The infringed retraction has led to a noisy  warfare , which has ravaged the country for more than 30 years.

The Himalayan territory clad in snow is dressed up in blood and poses notoriously  as a terror-struck terrain.

There is absolute  withdrawal of governance.

There is excess corruption.

There is extra poverty.

Thee is no food.

There is no education.

There is no health care.

This nothingness everywhere has driven the people out of their homes.

The fabulous threat to life has  forced a longitudinal exodus to other countries.

We find sorrow, death,  fear , and pale lifelessness  throughout that ranges in high velocity and dwells in strained vibrations .

The sonorous  grunting grudge keeps the habitants in vigil, in gripping terror and in distempered vicissitude.

The discontent, the wrath and the anger have turned into terrorism .

The ruthless, unruly ,unholy strictures have been transformed into derogatory behaviour and transmitted into disruptive ailments .The network of threatenings and warnings have crystallised into an organisation which has been christened as Taliban.

The Taliban’s engage themselves in attacks and in fights ,which has exploited the normal life and rendered a frequency that excites apprehensions .

The constant  fear has equipped the people with detached designations.

Afghanistan needs no war.

 It needs no troops.

It requires funds for rehabilitation.

It wants aid to restore governance.

it insists help to recapture its lost glory.

It wishes to investigate various avenues  in deploying overseas monies in infrastructure and education.

It likes to inculcate an impression of self-sufficiency .

It aspires to reach high standard of education.

A stimulated appeal is submitted to the world panel.

The leaders of the powerul  nations, the world over have to decipher a solution, to save the Himalayan state from devastation.

Will they do?

Hedging Wealth


Hedging funds have actually hedged wealth.

Galleon has come to the forefront as  a fraudulent company,

How many similar funds go unscathed?

How many influential persons have escaped attention, because of their  rapport with the governing politicians.?

Such kind of Galleon’s exposition is possible in U.S.

But in India and other developing countries frauds multiply, like mosquitoes breed in damp climate.

The regulatory forum is itself corrupt.

The insider trading is an old trick followed by the so-called tycoons.

They make money, pay the brokers heavily, and revel in high living and posh external manifestations.

It is these top placed business men, who come out with philanthropic deals, funding this , adopting that.

India , is known for nurturing the nourished, caring the most cared, and pampering the existing splendour.

The Indian way of freebies, is spoiling the already spoilt  poor.

The exact process of making them independent financially, physically and in relation to mental stability is absolutely floundered by the  government.

Today they give a colour T.V.

Tomorrow they provide a Gas cylinder for cooking.

Day after they extend health care.

Yesterday they allowed  free electricity.

Provision is distributed. The usage is not scrutinised.

The free bies  reward the needy.

They also shell out handsome kick backs to the intermediaries and politicians.The administration settles in for a brand which sends out high  pay off, in the manner of commission.The brokerage is proportioned according to the scale of position.

As the government is busy scheduling all these resolutions, a far serious regulation is overseen.

The over sightedness in  containing the loopholes drives a big hole in the transactions.

 In and Out the hedge fund managers, with their high-profile, and excess money, bag purchases, trap the bureaucrats.

The out come of such irrational, wicked directions, is a collection of materials in a big shopping bag.

This monetary accrual ,most times  are so overwhelming, that they bulge and tear the container in which they are stored.

The truth unobtrusively pops out.

It is again the people,who  are cheated. They unwittingly relish on  a few thousand free  bies while their co habitants glorify in millions and billions.

Well , that is a way o life.

The world survives in cheat , slander, and stealing

.The hedge fund  back drops are exhibits of great theft.

Raveendran Recuses.


A dramatic turn has happened today in the Supreme court of India ,when Raveendran , Judge , recused himself from the hearing of  Ambani dispute , citing a personal conflict of interest.

His daughter is employed in a firm that is a consultant to Reliance.The three member bench was constituted a  few months back. At the start of the case last month, Raveendran had disclosed that he had equal amount of shares in Reliance Industries and Reliance Natural.The lawyers of the two parties  raised no objection yo it.

When the nation and the investors are keenly awaiting the wrap up, this deviation seems to be a doubtful   extension.The mild excuse by the judge at the stream of hearing does not have a credible  breakthrough,

The withdrawal is an apparent ploy to prolong the case.  In a rare gesture,the government has put  its foot firmly that it is the owner of the  gas.Therein lies the catch.

 The clever brothers, with their cleverer counsels, will argue their case before the cleverest judges of the Supreme court. The dullest of the lot the investor, the duller of the crew the financial institutions and the dull of the entirety the nation, will watch the melodrama for years, such that of the telecasts of Ramayana and Mahabharata.

What a twist in the tail!!

Obama Playing Fiddle.


President Obama is deliberating on the new military strategy  to be adopted in Afghanistan.

In a subtle reply to Cheney, former Vice President , that he was in “no rush “to send more troops to Afghanistan.He is working out a game plan.,perhaps.

The recent situation in the troubled country is worse.

 Six U.N. employees and two Afghans were killed in an attack in Kabul.

Obama is dragging his feet. Many civilians are killed. Many American soldiers are killed. The fighting  is raging for 8 years,surpassing the Vietnam war.Obama should not remain indecisive. He may have to accept defeat as the Russians experienced a few years back., if the war continues

The U.S is in a delicate  ,uneasy mindset. To fight or not to fight is their memorandum.Fighting for eight years has not given any productive results.By targetting the Taliban , the U.S. army also harms the civilians who are insurgents. The poor , after undergoing hardships in the form of gunning, turn into hard-core individuals. They become one with Taliban.

Obama has to make up his mind.  He has to end terrorism, not fan it further. He has to restore peace in Afghanistan, not renew fighting. He has to take care of his soldiers, not allowing them to die in Kabul.

When gunshots are ranting the sky, Obama should not play his fiddle in the Whitehouse.
