EURO, DEBT and GOLD: Stupid! You are on the cliff

Sorry folks, I am always gloomy…because that is what it is!! …..But for a change let me start on a lighter note: read this story of “Porn Bunker for the Apocalypse“….They haven’t decided if they should charge or not for the spot in the Porn Bunker because, “we anticipate that money might not have a whole lot of value in the post-Apocalyptic world,”…..There’s also going to be a “private fertility chamber” because, hey, someone’s got to continue the human race, right?! A Porn Bunker for the Apocalypse On a gloomier note: PARTY Time is OVER! Countries have been going bankrupt for centuries, there’s nothing new about it. Finally the EURO is hanging from the cliff…again! Greece appears to be the likely bankruptcy candidate soon. Just couple of years back they bailed Greece out … Read entire article »

Formula for Successful Developed Nation

Introduction  The blog presents a formula of five pillars for nation building using education reforms. The formula is outlined after the introduction of two educational models and some ideas for building a lesson plan for the positive thinking. The two models emphasize continuous updating of the content in discussions with a team of teacher’s. As an example of potentially relevant content, the suggested reading section lists an article by Dr. Bhamy Shenoy. It advocates use of Gandhian solutions to solve some of world’s energy and environmental problems. It can be a lesson in creative thinking and may be relevant for including in the content based teaching and learning. I intuitively believe that the Gandhian solutions are not an option for all of global challenges, in general and India’s problems in particular. My views … Read entire article »

First time in the USA History…and the coming Economic Collapse

First time in the USA History…and the coming Economic Collapse

U.S. credit rating downgraded for first time in history. The United States lost its top-notch AAA credit rating from Standard & Poor’s on Friday, in a dramatic reversal of fortune for the world’s largest economy. I am yawning! Why So Late? This should have happened 10 years back while US has been printing unlimited amount of money for last 30 years. In my view, the world, in general, is always very late…at least by 10 years! The … Read entire article »

To be a global or a regional power depends on three factors: a strong economy, a powerful military and a deep rooted political capacity. Metaphorically, any global or regional power is three legged.

India: Follow Israel’s Example!

Securing borders with a buffer zone against hostile religious states [Author's preface: How can any leader bring himself to sit across the table and negotiate peace, with someone who represents an ideology, whose mission is the outright annihilation of his people and his state? And, what can you say about a people, who choose a terrorist organization as their governing body, rather than choosing leadership that represents peaceful solutions for the future of its people. Where has all the common sense gone? Does any ideology that wants the destruction of people, just because they are different, deserve a place on this earth? Are they not better off with their virgins? Any ideology, faith or governance system that calls for the destruction of a people, solely based on their creed, race or … Read entire article »

India: Anti-corruption Drive by Shanti Bhushan

SUPPORT SHANTI BHUSHAN AND HIS TEAM IT IS EITHER NOW OR NEVER 85 years ago, Shanti Bhushan was born in the home of an eminent Public Prosecutor of the British Raj. Little did anyone imagine that one day this man would shake the corrupt foundations of independent India from its very roots. Shanti Bhushan became a lawyer much against the wishes of his father, and eventually went on to become the Law Minister of India. Shanti Bhushan’s son Prashant Bhushan, who left IIT Madras and Princeton to pursue law from Allahabad University, chose the most un-travelled path for an eminent Indian lawyer. As a son of a former law minister, Prashant Bhushan could have hobnobbed with the high and mighty like most other luminaries in the legal profession. But instead of representing the … Read entire article »

India: Third Most Powerful Nation or a Third Rate Nation? You Decide!

Indian government priority: Protect and serve its vast majority, the Hindus. “No real change in history has ever been achieved by discussions” – Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose “Freedom is not given, it is taken” – Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose I will probably ruffle the feathers of many Indians, particularly those who are passionately patriotic. But unfortunately, patriotic fervor often induces our heads into the sands of gloried and unreal fantasies. We have to face up to the reality that the Indian form of governance is indeed the wrong form of government for the subcontinent. The multiple party system, under the current election laws and protocols engender convoluted, compromising and corrupt coalitions, replete with bickerings and battles over power, territory and money, putting in utterly unqualified ministers or ruling elite into power, who are … Read entire article »

Conversion, Corruption, Congress and bloody Indians

Recently, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh assured a Christian delegation that he was trying to evolve a consensus on granting Scheduled Caste status to Dalit Christians and Dalit Muslims. This is interesting since just a few days ago; the Gujarat High Court has rejected a plea filed by a converted Christian seeking access to benefits extended to him earlier as a Scheduled Caste Hindu. In addition the Prime Minister reportedly promised “to act on the Saldanha report on violence against minorities in Karnataka”. This is in reference to the independent inquiry report of Michael Saldanha, of The Catholic-Christian Secular Forum (Catholic but Secular? Hmm!), a retired judge of the Bombay and Karnataka High Courts, (and just happen to be the President of the Catholic Association of South Kanara or Dakshina Kannada, the place where violent incidents had … Read entire article »
