GAS Theory
For the whole of 6 years the most reliable brothers are fighting over it from $2.34 per mbtu to $ 4.2 per mbtu. Trying to Sell and Negotiate as much possible.
It leads ET(Extra Talented) discussions to the logical conclusions.
Business Mathematics seems immune to it unless combine with Statistical interpretation in the field of management.
The Economics says there is pricing policy attached to it since its a necessary good and fall in public utilities and hence controlled price mechanism by Government which naturally leads to monopoly.
The Finance peg a whooping profit of Rs. 65000 crores for the Reliance Industries just out of the D6-KG basin block. Well very few would argue with it.
The IEA and the scientist say it is the most cleanest form of fuel used.
There is debate on the Marketing policy of it.
There is even a fashion brand on it.
To be used in power plants, in manufacturing fertilizers and fueling CARS as well.
It used in form for laughing as well. Some of the diseases are caused while some are eradicated with it.
There is a music group on it.
Operationally and Planning wise most complex in nature. Some time costing is important for right fund Valuations.
People have also tried hedging exams and test with it.
Call it the startegy, policy, principle, code of conduct or law its everywhere. Its one of the thing which is defying the law of conservation of matter and energy. People just love it and are addicted especially when through management sales funnel. It has many Perspectives.
Some old people have taken in to the leadership platform and delivering high performance on it.
Organizational Behavior encourage it for inter-group interaction and in the name of free flow of information. Its in meeting, conference, discussions, committees and councils. Corporate hence tell you to use it Responsibly in Social behavior.
HR just shower it while hiring or firing.
Call it Boyle's law, Charle's law or theorize by some Vander walls's equation. No Avagadro's number is sufficient to quantify it.
Some leaders like Count your chickens before they are hatched have some how mastered the art.The use of Information Technology leaves it in very good taste and proves real application of Mahabharata, Ramayana and Iliad and Odyssey as true management value adds.
There are innumerable way of saying, defining and even writing it.
I have tried a small fraction distilled version of it which I guess would help fire a chain reaction with highest octane value.
what a waste --- our definition is much better---

"GAS" -- 'Generously Additive Sources'
its a management genre - our very own language - be proud of it.
its a management genre - our very own language - be proud of it.
The word "gas" was invented by Jan Baptist van Helmont, perhaps as a Dutch pronunciation re-spelling of "chaos".
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now Wikipedia starts something like this
As a noun in the English language, a gas is one of three classical states of matter. Near absolute zero, a substance exists as a solid. As heat is added to this substance it melts into a liquid at its melting point, boils into a gas at its boiling point, and if heated high enough would enter a plasma state in which the electrons are so energized that they leave their parent atoms from within the gas. A pure gas may be comprised of individual atoms (e.g. a noble gas or atomic gas like neon), elemental molecules made from one type of atom (e.g. oxygen), or compound molecules made from a variety of atoms (e.g. carbon dioxide). A gas mixture would contain a variety of pure gases much like the air that we breathe. What distinguishes a gas from liquids and solids is the vast separation of the individual gas particles as seen in the model to the right. This separation usually makes a colourless gas invisible to the human observer.
This article provides background information on the gaseous state of matter found between the liquid and plasma states[2], the latter of which provides the upper temperature boundary for gases. Bounding the lower end of the temperature scale lie degenerative quantum gases[3] which are gaining increased attention these days[4]. High density atomic gases super cooled to incredibly low temperatures are classified by their statistical behavior as either a bose gas or a fermi gas. For a comprehensive listing of these exotic states of matter see list of states of matter.
The journey begins with a brief review of the physical characteristics of gases. From that introduction, the article diverges and views gases from two distinct perspectives, macro-, or the system point of view, and micro-scopic, or particle viewpoint. Simplified models or gas laws are introduced next. These models characterize ideal gas behavior. From modeling, the article explores the historical connection to gases including prominent scientists along the path. The final section introduces gas terms which link to more detailed applications involving gases. Among these advanced applications are energy considerations like thermodynamics, and movement through a gas, gas flows, or aerodynamics.

In a relationship
There is a thread of telepathy
of continuous signals of sympathy.
We might think of many
but deal of the one is uncanny.
The characteristics of being effective
is all about not being reactive.
The mind is rather active
and more subjective than being objective.
The depth of its strength
defies all span of time and distance of length
The urge to tell
and surge to shell
It is one utopian
for which human is no Machiavellian
The separation and its allay
can make a pile of Himalaya.
while the buckets of its smile
which can fill all world's Nile
All of the world's efforts
and all of determination
I have to resort
in earning a reconcilliation
I can be made a fool
in the night while counting wool
I can question all of your answer
yet none of them censor
All forces of sea
All strength of storm
I will stand by you in glee
and support you in all form

Bhagvad for Tiger Woods
People born in India could hardly relate to golf back then when Tiger was roaring in the woods on PGA tour. An unmatched champion competing only with himself at one point referring to the Canadian open shot.
I have seen him play life and admire the concentration level, unfazed by all means, determined to win till the point of theoretical possibility.The year of 2000 was magical for him, a legend in the making him.
None knew what he did off the field and it never mattered. Rather, nobody bothered.
Its like the warrior, his goal is to achieve on the battlefield.
Hence, what happend of-late to his personal life should be none of concern of any of his fans. It has happened to the best and it takes courage to admit to anything of the sort he has done. The whole golfing community awaits his accentuated performance of highest delivery.
The nail in the coffin has been struck with he deciding not to play golf for indefinite period. Now, that is not only loss to game of golf; but challenging his privy is a matter of what we have become of society. If all his fans, the sports lover love the game of golf, we can let him settle those dispute on his own. He knows best, he understand the situation, he and only the direct concerned are aware of the facts.
It shame to make it a public gimmick and make a Champion fall from his pinnacle and drop his armor.

People will always speak of your infamy, and for one who has been
honored, dishonor is worse than death.
karmany evadhikaras te

You have a right to perform your prescribed duty, but you are not
entitled to the fruits of action. Never consider yourself to be the
cause of the results of your activities, and never be attached to not
doing your duty.
niyatam kuru karma tvam

Perform your prescribed duty, for action is better than inaction. A man
cannot even maintain his physical body without work.

A self-realized man has no purpose to fulfill in the discharge of his

has he any need to depend on any other living being.

activities always fixed on Me and everything engaged in Me, you will
attain to Me without any doubt."

Austerity in Politics
"The serenity of mind, gentleness, silence, self-restraint, and the purity of mind are called the austerity of thought.” – says the Bhagavad Gita.
The austerity measure on part of finance ministry has been a long standing instruction aimed at reducing expenditure for administrative purposes. While the note circulated was specific concerning to the local travel
and holding conferences in private hotels; some of the politicians have taken it as a drive to woo voters.
With fiscal deficit rising to 6.8 % of GDP officially and 12.5% in reality; with many of the social welfare programs aimed at garnering more votes from rural areas; with pile up of huge subsidy burden it was high time
that the moms and the dads of country decided to give up some of their basic luxuries.
While it is good to be tech-savvy and twitter your ideas at the speed of light; some people take it too far in all forms. No one announces measures of austerity over twitter by sounding a trumpet; measures of austerity
are adopted in hard times and with soberness. There is no flamboyancy attached to it. Also the elephant gods near Ganga have been told not to dance by Supreme Court.
While it is good to adopt such measures on domestic front, it remains important that we do not project the same outwards. There is a growth story attached to the nation and such austerity measure can reflect crisis. What happened in Israel in 1949-1959 when nation was coming of its age was because of sheer chaos prevailing at that time. Similarly in Cuba was because of dissolution of the USSR or for that matter in U.K. post World War II. The government decided to reduce expenditure in general on various fronts both from public and government expenditure.
None of such predicament is faced by us today. Then what is the drive all about? While some
might say that it is the next political bandwagon of Congress after the 'Aam Aadmi' campaign or other might just put it off as a political gimmick. Finance minister term it as a move to reduce non-plan expenditure by 10%.
If it is the next thing from political party, it is to be ensured that PR managers do a great job as they did with the political campaign in picking the young guns from the grass-root levels. Also if the aim is of reducing expenditure, it will have a secondary positive effect in terms of improved cost of governance. Taking an example, if the conferences are held within the premises of ministry, if possible, it could help save on time of to and fro movements (time efficacy). Babus will soon be called by their original name.
While these are good measures aimed at improving accountability, there should be no compromise on the protocol or security front. If charity begins at home then with the administrators are here to prove a point of prudence. Also to tell education institution to increase their fees, reduce subsidy and avoid travel at reputed B-schools is not a solution. But why blame the babus and netas alone; it is only when SEBI has come down hard on the fact sheets of some corporate we came to know how some of the corporate have increased their pay checks when it was the toughest and little profitability on the cards. That was a check on corporate governance front.
Newton said integration of the smallest part makes the biggest of numerical figures. It is upon us that we show greater level of austerity in choosing our Democracy next time.

A peace of mind
A number of problems at my hand
with little levy drips the sand
The thrust of competition whole in a grind
I still look in it a peace of mind
Speed up says the crowd walking by
You don't speak whole truth without a lie
Flow of words and all of veracity
There is no test which stands my integrity
Galvanising the people, consolidating the thoughts,
all recorded , without taking notes.
Losing out not just little in keeping a bind,
Being still selfish for a peace of mind
Cursing the dead, blaming the past,
when standing tall for any half-mast;
Allude of powers which made me blind
with little vision, I search my peace of mind
Lonely as he stood at the cliff,
I beg of you not to make it more stiff
In search of that solace, in search of self-pride,
I walk back to start, there lies my peace of mind.

Freedom is the cost of salvation,
Freedom is the behavior of morals,
Freedom is the lecture of discipline,
Freedom is the blend of all ages,
Freedom is the border of privacy,
Freedom is the communication of intuition,
Freedom is the map of one nation,
Freedom is the species of all universals,
Freedom is the game of courage,
Freedom is the movement of rivers,
Freedom is the rock of mountain,
Freedom is the determination of willingness,
Freedom is the bound of commitment,
Freedom is the moment of truth,
Freedom is the test of humility,
Freedom is the friendship of youth and old,

To be or not to be!!
"To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pitch and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action."
And all this while I thought there are limited perspective to everything....
Item : "Its better to be..... what say?."
Dude: "With you,I will damn find enuf time for everything.

A Prayer
"I am not an Atheist to rarely come back to you God. But I come here to pray for the well being of each and every child of yours. God, you have given me most of the necessities I need and a little more than that. Whenever I come to you I ask for forgiveness and nothing more; Forgiveness for the fact that I could not perform my duties effectively. I did not want to ask you more for it have undermine your conviction in me about my abilities. God, I wanted to give little less trouble to you for I believe there are far more complicated and unresolved issues which need more attention of yours. You need to concentrate and deliver more results. I may sound like a Manager but on this earth, today, everyone needs to be accountable. As you do of me, I expect the same of you. Please take a little more care of my fellow humans. And yes, give me more actions in order to perform and a little more strength so I can outperform. I believe only in you as a constant source of my energy and constant sink of my sins and problems.You have created the most beautiful world to live in and most beautiful people to live with. I see you in every creation of yours and every action of theirs. I learn from each of them and every action of theirs. And I believe, through them, you teach and wherever you teach is the temple of sorts.So I visit you everyday. God, I am not an Atheist."

Change
There is a great way we have moved forward since the inception of human civilization
I myself have seen a little phase as I have grown up.
recent remarkable changes
1. Homosexuality :
A man cannot be a criminal since it is by birth that his sexual orientation is so; its not a choice its by birth and hence natural.It altogether thus is a right of an individual rather than law of state.
2. Religion of choice:
The Babri masjid verdict by the Librehan commission and note on the same by supreme court underlines the fact there are no more relevant in the society today since other issues like food, clothing, shelter and job security are of prim importance compared to other trivial issue which have been nothing more than political vendetta.It has always been a third person who have introduced such difference in society and brought about divisions which then continue to remain in the veins of society till they are washed over time by the other important components of its blood.
3. A suitable girl:
Its no longer just the choice of boy when an arranged marriage is thought of now in the family.Vikram Seth's yet to be released new novel "A suitable girl"- just higlights the same that we have came a long way in terms of sexual equality.
4. Beware Social Animal Ahead!!

!!Kanha!!
E kanha yeh to bata tera rang kyun kaala?
E kanha yeh to bata tera rang kyun kaala?
Main raat ko kyun paida huan
Meri ungli ka rang kaala
isi liye main kaala
E kanha yeh to bata tera rang kyun kaala...?
Maine kaale naag pe naacha
Maine kaale naag ko haraya
saare saapon ka rang kaal
isi liye main kaala
E kanha yeh to bata tera rang kyun kaala...?
mujhe gopiyoon ne boolayan
aur khoob maakhan khilaaya
gopiyoon ka dil phir bhi kaala
isiliye main kaala
E kanha yeh to bata tera rang kyun kaala..?
maine kaali gaaye ka doodh piya
main kaali maati mein khela
isiliye main kaala
E kanha yeh to bata tera rang kyun kaala..?
saawan main bijli chamake
aur baadal aasman gher leve
badaloon ka rang kaala
isiliye main kaala
E kanha yeh to bata tera rang kyun kaala..?
saakhiyaan ne mujhko bulaya
mujhe chaar aur se ghera
unki ankhiyon ke kajre ka rang kaala
isi liye main kaala
E kanha yeh to bata tera rang kyun kaala..?
Tera rang ho chaahe kaala
tu saare jag se niraala

MOTHER
Brothers and Sisters
Societies and Family
Mothers are one
who help them tally.
Responsiveness to stimuli senses
Intuitive notions and brazen fences.
Virtues shower
Praises that power.
Morals of highest molarity
Calmness of highest normality.
For birth to earth
and mirth to worth
Your pursuit fullfill
Heavens dearth
There is no love so divine
as of the calf with bovine.
In debt was even Kuber
when Ram had Sabri's ber
such was the debt
that no price was fair.
All my fear
All my wishes
known to one
else told to none.
I can still cry as I child
And look for my Mummy
she would still care
and unconditionally love me.

THE MONSOON BIRD
The forked lightning in anger
reaches out for the bird.
Its tongue of fire and flame
cannot fly farther
than his breadth of wings.
The bird carries a message of the col
to the sunbaked world
and pond's mosaic of mud and weed.
With two full moons under his wings
the cuckoo wraps the harshness of the sun
in threads and knots of the rain song.
the hordes of clouds
advance against the defenceless sky
as this winged burglar conquers the landscape
with a full-throated cry.
The cuckoo flies with his forecast of rain
blaring from the branches of trees
like a weather winged satellite.
--- Man Mohan Singh
Man Mohan Singh in the current state of India is just like the monsoon bird, he is sounding the soothing song of youth, efficiency and development to the development parched (because of recession) India.

A walk beneath a sunny sky
A boat beneath a sunny sky,
Lingering onward dreamily
In an evening of July -
Children three that nestle near,
Eager eye and willing ear,
Pleased a simple tale to hear -
Long has paled that sunny sky:
Echoes fade and memories die:
Autumn frosts have slain July.
Still she haunts me, phantomwise,
Alice moving under skies
Never seen by waking eyes.
Children yet, the tale to hear,
Eager eye and willing ear,
Lovingly shall nestle near.
In a Wonderland they lie,
Dreaming as the days go by,
Dreaming as the summers die:
Lingering in the golden dream -
Life, what is it but a dream?
