The "Mithya" story of "Satyam"...

Well, "Satyam" has been proved to be a big "Mithya" (lie).. it has been a shocker from the Indian fourth IT major. The revealing facts are scary. Hopefully Satyam is just one of the case. Now the investigation will start.. During investigation, if some other company will be found with the same charge then the IT image of India would be in turmoil...

We have been hearing of the Satyam scam for past 2 days.. How did the company collapse in just 1 day? Let us try to understand how did it all start...

Let us understand this by taking a small example..
Suppose the company is making a profit of Rs. 100 in one quarter.. Mr. Raju manipulated the accounts to show the profit as Rs. 1000. So, Mr. Raju inflated the accounts by Rs. 900. By showing huge profit margin, Satyam was able to attract a lot of investors and a lot of clients in a very short span of time.. So, Satyam did all its expenditures assuming it has got Rs. 1000 (but actually Rs. 900 was missing)... In this process the vacuum kept on increasing... and suddenly one day the company has no money to pay salaries to its employees..

A lot of my friends are working in foreign countries for Satyam . I don't know what will happen to them.. Most likely they will not get their salary for Jan 2009 and it may so happen that they have to buy their return ticket (to India) on their own..

Now the Indian Govt is in action. So hopefully, some private firm will take over the company and all the 53000 employees are saved.. It's very unfortunate to hear the "Mithya" story of "Satyam"...

Thanks,

Rameswaram Trip, TN - Char Dham, Jyotirling & 22 Kund!

Rameswaram Trip - Har Har Mahadev! Trip Date: Nov 5th and 6th 2022 Distance from Bangalore: 611 km Time taken by road: 11 hrs Road: NH 44 and NH 87 - Road condition - Excellent Rameswaram is a town on Pamban Island, in the southeast Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It’s known for Shri Ramanathaswamy Temple, a Hindu pilgrimage site with ornate corridors, huge sculpted pillars and sacred water tanks. Devotees bathe in the waters of Agni Theertham, off the beach east of the temple.  Lord Ram and Maa Sita had consecrated the Jyotirling at Rameswaram after killing Ravan while returning back from Lanka. 22 Kund Snanam or Theerth Snanam: 22 Kund Snanam starts with Samudra Snanam at Agni Theertham . It is believed that the first kund/theertham lies submerged under the sea and hence the snanam ritual starts from taking a dip at  Agni Theertham . Agni Theertham is just walking distance away from the main temple. After the Samudra Snanam it was time for the 22 Kund Snanam. And all t...

UHAULing.... in US...

In this blog let me share my experience of shifting home in America... You have to do the following activities for shifting your home... 1) Buy the card board boxes and pack your stuffs on your own... 2) Rent a truck to shift your stuff from one place to other and you have to drive that truck on your own. That truck is provided by a company called UHAUL. 3) Place all your stuffs inside the truck on your own. So, you have to carry your sofa, bed etc on your own. Therefore, you have to be a body builder to do all these activities. Remember, here there is no human labour to help you out. If you are hiring human labour then be ready to pay a hefty amount. 4) OK... All the stuffs are now packed and placed inside the truck. Now drive the truck on your own. 5) Reach the destination. 6) Unload all the stuffs.... Again on your own... 7) Return the truck to UHAUL (company) and pay the rental... 8) Your shifting is done... Cool..... That's how you have to live in USA. So, life is very easy he...

Chase your passion...

Do you have some passion that you always wanted to do since your childhood??? Yes, I know we all have.. but we don't dare to chase it.. Because in India, we think only doctors and engineers are well respected in the society.. Hence, at any cost we have to become either a doctor or an engineer... Therefore, if you want to become a sports person or a singer or a dancer or a writer etc.. it's not allowed.. So, you sacrifice your area of interest and succumb to the pressure from society and put all your effort to become what your society want you to become.. Ok.. Now you have lived all most half of your life.. and somewhat successful (in career) by seeing your current stature..Your half of the life has gone by... in fulfilling other's wishes and their dreams.. Suddenly you realize that you have never lived for yourself.. I think this is the best time to invest on yourself... to chase your own passion.. to do something that you always wanted to do... I know we all are living a r...
