Not voting.. a crime..

India is in the process of voting and 2 phases of polling is over.. 3 more phases to come.. It's a shame to Indian Democracy that in the 2nd phase of polling, the average turnout of the voters was only 55%. I work for an IT company and one day holiday was given to the employees to cast the vote. But unfortunately people utilized that holiday as a long weekend and went on trips. Also many people gave excuses like 'who will go to vote in this scorching heat..'. So, ultimately the educated people didn't vote.. This is really disheartening.. It shows many educated masses are unaware of politics and they are taking everything for granted.. I'm very sorry to say that one 26/11 was not enough for our educated people to wake up.. In my opinion these activities (of not casting your vote) are no less than crimes.. and corporates should take strong actions like deducting one day salary of employees who does not have black mark in their finger.. Three more phases of polling are...

Apartment culture...

Everyone has a wish to buy a house and live there for the rest of his/her life. These days the dream has become a reality because of good salaried jobs and hassle free loan availability from different banks. Not to be surprised, the real estate market went rocket high and the price of the apartments have gone very very high. Even the good salaried people are feeling the pinch to pay EMI. Very soon the happiness of being the proud owner of the apartment goes off and people succumb under pressure because of heavy EMIs. Ok.. now let us try to understand the apartment culture in USA... 1. The entire apartment building is managed by a leasing company. 2. The apartment house is given on lease to the tenant. 3. The apartment community is facilitated with different amenities like Gym, Club house (TV room, Library etc), Sports area (Racquet ball court, basket ball court, Tennis court, Pool table), Swimming pool, Internet cafe, party hall etc and everything is managed by the leasing office of th...

Work from home..

I've a very strong feeling that the usage of modern technology will take India to the next level. The sooner we implement, the better for country.. These days Work From Home culture is a reality. In India, some MNCs and Indian IT companies have adopted this culture. However, majority of the chunk have not yet adopted. Let us understand how the 'WORK FROM HOME' culture can be implemented in all the iT companies: 1. Work: People can work through VPN connection using office laptop. 2. Meeting: By using dedicated bridge, all employees can attend meetings through phone. 3. Presentation: Many softwares are available e.g. 'Windows Meeting Space' can be used for any kind of online demonstration. 4. Video conference: SKYPE can be used for video conference. Advantages: a) There will be less traffic on road b) Less cubicles are required in office space c) People will save money from fuel expenditure and many more.. Disadvantages: a) Initial infrastructure cost e.g. providing l...

Professionals in Politics

Any good outcome from 26/11? Yes, the incident has reunited the country and it has pushed the intellect mass to join politics. Meera Sanyal (country head of ABN AMRO) is contesting Lok Sabha election as an independent candidate from South Mumbai. Hats-off to her for the brave decision .. I hope this is just the beginning of professionals entering into politics.. many more to follow.. Though Meera Sanyal's decision to enter politics is well respected and being welcomed by everyone but the question comes why to contest as an independent candidate? Why not to join a political party? But which party Meera Sanyal can join? Definitely a big 'NO' to Congress or BJP (Anyway, she'll not get the ticket). In my opinion, she should join the "PROFESSIONAL PARTY OF INDIA". Meera Sanyal could relate her ideology with Professional Party and the probability of winning the election is more if there is a party back-up rather than contesting as an independent. Also the Profession...

Leadership

The meaning of good leader and average leader is well understood by analyzing BJP party. Under Mr. Vajpayee's leadership, BJP flourished all over the country with only one agenda i.e Development.. Now the commander in chief of BJP is Mr. Advani and the party has degraded. The party has lost its focus under Mr. Advani's leadership. Let us analyze what has gone wrong under Mr. Advani's leadership.. 1. Portraying himself as the PM candidate (81 years old).. should have portrayed Mr. Arun Jaitley as the PM candidate. 2. Still the agenda is Ram Mandir.. favouring Mr. Varun Gandhi's remark.. supporting Sadhvi Pragyan Singh Thakur in Malegaon blast case.. so, the approach is communalism.. not at all acceptable to the people of India.. 3. Appointing wrong people in important positions.. e.g. Mr. Rajnath Singh.. 4. Neglecting the key persons like Mr. Arun Jaitley.. 5. Failed to keep good relationship with the allies.. the major set back is by losing BJD as its ally.. 6. The part...

Election Time..

The election time is on and all the parties are trying hard for seat sharing.. So, the onus is on the voters to choice a good party which can lead India to development and growth.. Presence of multi-party system in India make the voters confuse.. but thanks to active media for making people more aware and judgemental.. This is the era of regional parties and the regional parties are making their presence at national level also. So, it's very confusing to decide to vote for which party... Let me give my point of view.. Regional parties are more focussed towards their regions and they are doing good work for their states... just take the example of BJD.. Mr. Naveen Pattnaik is doing a tremendous job in Orissa.. so, definitely the regional parties are good candidates for state election.. However, a big no from my side to the regional parties in center election even if the regional party's candidate is good.. If we are voting for regional parties in center election, then there will...
