STILL ACTUALLY, REALLY IS INDIA A PART OF COMMONWEALTH?

In the very recent past, so recent that its not even right to call it a past, our nation, biggest democratic sovereign of the earth (keeping in view that there might be other planets supporting life and nations there in our universe) hosted 19th commonwealth games. Delhi- THE CAPITAL was the obliged city to be the host of these games.

Lots of hue and cry were there regarding quality of work, then completion of work and now relating to the alleged corruption in its complete management and organisation.

No one knows the complete truth. who is and who is not involved.

However my topic is not regarding what everybody is talking about i.e. above mentioned issues. My issue is different. Its something which might have been overlooked or even one which has not been given any thought by the media, or govt., or subjects.

Lets take off with the matter now;

The meaning of commonwealth nation means a nation which is a part of common wealth of it parent or governing nation. As it was named to mean during the times of colonization.

In Hindi we call it "Rashtramandal Desh" which means part of group of nations governed by one king.

My question is : Is India still the part of British empire as it was decades before???

If yes, then we are not a Sovereign and my objection along with my blog ends here.

And if No, then I carry on and asks why are we part of this games group which still represent and reminds us that we were ruled by a foreign nation at times.

COMMONWEALTH, which still regard the British Queen as chief guest, as the one who takes off the games by starting the "Queen's baton". She is the one who inaugurates the games.

I am not against the games, i am against the thinking, feelings and intentions behind the games. It still reminds us of imperialism. Our history has been tampered with by the British historians and politicians just to show that we were never a greater nation than their's. Then why are we not understanding the fact that now we are ourself spoiling the future's history and certifying it by being part of this group and not letting past to be forgotten.

I hold a strong view that now we should overcome the wounds of past by not refreshing them by celebrating such events. And spending on such useless activities and giving way to corruption, rather we should spend it on productive activities and generating long term permanent employment.

INFLATION-IS GREAT(ER) DEPRESSION AHEAD????


World has visited many recessions and has seen 2 great depressions. One in 1873 and the other one soon after the 1st world war i.e. in 1929.

These great depressions had something in common. they both were led by decreasing buying power, excess supply further leading to shut down of industries, featuring DEFLATION landing into a vicious circle of depression,

no Jobs then no money in the hands of people. then low purchasing power. No purchasing power, so no demand of goods available in huge supply, leading to loss of job of masses, leading to shut down of industries.

World learned a lot from these two Grear Depressions.

Now came same situations in the year 2008. As Govts of different economies has lessons from history, they took measures to deal with them.

They succeeded in stopping the Depression led by deflation.

Now I fear, new history will be written. There will be a Great Depression in the world, led by INFLATION.

To combat deflationary trend of recession, all over the world fiscal deficit was allowed to grow wild. It is being financed by printing new currency. These additional currency was printed without any value addition to the real growth. However, in short term this effectively helped the world from drowning.

Now, as every economic and non economic activity has its own effects.

This additional currency will lead to chasing of a few goods by more money i.e. in simple words inflation.

Things will come to stand still, real worth of money will be lost, there might even be situations of anarchy in many states. Leading to Investments loosing its worth, supply seems to decrease further. Jobs will also go out of hands. hence Demand will decrease, leading to another trap in vicious circle.

Thats what I am looking in near future. Ans I am sure this is onlly lined up. As per me this inflation will be lead by auto sector and related sector (like oil and gas).

The increase in prices is due to increase in income levels and simultaneously output of any sector haven't increased. If any sector could have grown at the same pace or even higher (leaving other sectors unattended) then there should have been a sector in the economy who must not b visiting inflation and in 2nd case could have been witnessing deflation.

So it is very clear from the above discussion that this increase in income is due to excess money printing leading to fall in its value.

Given the rising inflation equilibrium is far from here due to fall in supply increase in demand and change in other economic and non economic factors like poor administration, increasing HOT money, decreasing level of self sufficiency, increase in imports, Govt policies among many others.

Market knows how to attain the equilibrium leaving everything behind!

Get Set!!

Being Alone, is the Biggest FEAR of all!!

When a baby born, he enters the world all alone [except twins and other multiples ;)]. Then slowly he is made social being. 1st of all he is introduced to his parents. A child is very innocent, pure and has no fears.

But, unknowingly he is living and growing with a fear of being alone. I can cite an example, when he is into sound deep sleep he suddenly wakes up and cries loudly b'coz he feels he has been left alone and on being pampered he calms down and gets back to usual smiling face!

Its a fear which we are not ready to accept. We all feel that we are very strong persons and can live alone. But the fact is we are

afraid of being alone!!

The fact is that people come and go in one's life, no one stays forever. its just like a river which is like our life and water in it are the people which keep coming and going, no matter what!

We meet new people for 1 day, 15 days, years etc..! This new group of people becomes our comfort zone. Which we are not ready to forgo so easily.

Now starts the trouble. We get emotionally attach. We are not ready to accept that we have to move away on our directions sooner or later. However everyone comes out f it as the memories start to fade in ones mind.

My learning from Life

people come in your life to play their part in story of your life. It may be parents, friends, siblings, peers, strangers etc.

Life doesn't stop just because any Person (how important he/she may be in your life) is no more in your life. Its we who have to cover the vacuum created by the absence of that person, assume our increased responsibilities.

Life seems to be very harsh at times but it has a hidden lesson behind every move.

I am not saying that one should not be emotional or should not value someone or anyone, I am just conveying that one should be bold enough to let new people to enter into your life with warm welcome and keeping the memories of old friends, relatives etc in heart as souvenirs!

Thats how one can cherish every moment of his/her life!!

Final Word

Move on in Life with sweet memories of past life!! And don't be alone!

Cheerrrsss to life!!

GMCS 276 ROXXX

There was an obligation to be met in order to get close to my CA (Chartered Accountant) degree and that was a (long) 15 days classes (I rightly stated classes).

Lectures on GMCS : General Management and communication Skills.

Pheww..!

On 28th May, 2010 I got ready for another set of classes, without any willingness to attend them.

Day started, reached Shah auditorium (kashmiri gate, Delhi) dressed in formals. Class was packed with other CA students. I thought its a class of other 62 boring people like me. Day moves on, made a few friends. Serious topic on Communication was being discussed. I thought,

What can be more boring than this?

Slowly,
Introduction part began, started to know other batch mates.

Came Day 2, when Mr Kamal Garg (a Faculty) came. He played an important role in integration of our batch. Also he took hesitation and fear of new people out of our heart and mind. And Our batch turned into

A batch of friends..!!

Things didn't remained as they were. They changed forever. Then these unknown faces became my best pals..! And these 15 days were no longer Long ones but they were as short as just 15 seconds.

I never thought that i'll get such a beautiful friendship that too in bulk.

Nick names started to crop in.

I was named as Wakil saab then promoted to kanun ki devi!
Pratik became cutue (Q2),
Jatin was changed to Dropti,
Akhil gained charm as Lolita,
Vikas became chacha,
Roopali became our maate,
Nitin bansal became Bhediya,
Neeraj became child labour then CJ
Sashi named as Mamaji
Varun was promoted to be an HR manager,
Abhinandan became ChiChi,
Akki became CC,
among others.

Even certain rarely found photographs of men's washroom were also clicked with full enthusiasm by all the participants including Mr Ravish (our Faculty). ;)
In totality more than 3000 photographs were clicked in these 15 days of classes.

Every day started, continued and ended in full fun and enjoyment.

We developed such a great sense of understanding and unity that we together protested for keeping a class on Sunday, by wearing casuals in the Session

These veeerrryyy short 15 days are one of my most precious moments of my life.

what an irony,

God make us meet strangers, give us time to Understand each other. Build up beautiful memories.

and

when you are no more just strangers then you are torn apart and are only left with Sweet memories, so that you can feel yourself in crowd when you are all alone!

A few hangouts, total Fun in class, during Lunch, also with a Cutie Cat (near lunch table) who used to wait for us so that she also gets her meal for the time.

These small things became part of my life only for 15 days. But its impression is going to last forever.

We ended our classes with a rocking and floor braking party on 13th June, 2010 but started an all new chapter of our ever lasting friendship.

how short the meeting was, how deep impact it had,
how strangers we were all how friendly we turned,
how lovely relation we all had, how it turned unique,
Its not only a hope but a firm belief that this friendship is here to stay and grow...
No other option given to it!

These 15 days deserves the tag of "once in a lifetime".......

3 cheers to GMCS 276

Hip Hip Hurrey,
Hip Hip Hurrey,

chhheeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrsssssss.......

And life continues!!
