Why we Lie?

Why we lie?

In the heat of competition

In the thought of winning

Whatever we may vie

…. Why we lie

For the half truth

Or the half deny

For the compulsions we may shy

The truth is we often lie

The mirage we create

Part we disseminate

And part we hold

To look bold

Sometime intimate

What we cannot even ruminate

Exasperation

We cannot ventilate

Matter over mind

Matters in grind

What is already known?

Is never a find

Theft of word

Words full of debt

Crisis for dead

That dead looks for more apt

Point of views

Points that opine

We can see

Yet we belie

The truth of youth

For which everyone needs sleuth

Keep chewing it

Although not a sweet tooth

It is time for confession

To the next booth

Or silence

Till we die

We the People

On the eve of 62^nd Republic

East’s own Constantinople

Largest Constitution

Who is the Disciple?

Of all the Opportunities

We look to grapple

Population will double

Economy Quadruple

We are growing nation of future

Always in a form of past participle

The race of Olympics

Or the record of weasel

Despite the wealth of Forbes

Every happiness giggle

Rights are from the institution of Chapel

And Duties are not matter of Gospel

The fighter of the Red Terror

Is locked with the sickle

Inflation of the Onions

Or Fuel of the fickle

Price of Gold, Price of Silver

Pulses are no longer worth just a nickel

While we do cheers

Rice is still the staple

Corruption have bought the mind state

And brought nation to cripple

In spite of all the individual ripple

Still we say ‘We the People’

"Happy Republic Day!"

Happy New Year

Living bad memories and thoughts in the rear
For heart that’s so near
Novel ideas and plan to chalk
And then walk the talk

Riding on the bulls
And better off without bear
For the insurmountable targets we can tear
For the optimism, that even pessimist can hear

Off all the rules we can jeer
To the music we can all veer
Madness better than the Lear
Smile that is a killer

I may call you a greater rascal
Even in set of peer
With weight of few more Pascal
A pride we can all wear

To usher in a world where the mind is without fear
In all new gear
And with lots of cheer
Wish you a Happy New Year

Michael Jackson on Tata DOCOMO

Awesome

Smile O.K. Please

When life is fickle
Amidst the chaotic ripple
Know it is not simple
To create that pink dimple

In this long race
A second or two of retrace
On this stern edifice
It created a happy face

I am not Jack
For time is luck
Because of work
I often smirk

On a slip of banana
Or missed shoes buckle
Once in a while
You made me chuckle

I can go an extra mile
Look calm for a while
Makes me a little more agile
Thanks for that Smile

Lord of all Things

The lord of Beginnings

Embodied with all Blessings

Even with half a tusk

 Makes everything work

The arc of trunk

Makes our worries shrunk

Residing in everyone’s base

My lord of divine power and face

Of his prayer and Oath

Dare you Loath

Born on the four

With rising moon which has all cure

Personification of Aum

Ensemble with a mouse,

Brings essence of home

To the ambience of house

Auspiciousness with sweet

I worship flowers at your feet

!!Ganpati Bappa Morrya!!

Off My great Teacher

A life full of Experience
Mistake of all variance
A Book read well
Friends that tell
Challenge of atoms
Dive of fathoms
Search of infinity
Problems of travesty
Adversity that strikes
Truth that bites
Fall of might
Apparently Characters get blight
Fight of Silence
To reclaim your essence
From the universe of ether
To the universe of seeker
There is always a path,
Of my great Teacher!

The L0000000000000000000000000000000000ng and the short of it

Pun fully intended.

Excerpts from recent incident observed closely.

1. Fast Moving Consumer Goods.
 It was late Saturday! Strolling back home.

First purchase: Shaving Cream. Not Available@ 12 shops.
Second Purchase: Pepsi 500ml, @3 shop: only available in 2 litre. please take 3 COKE (read as plural Coca Cola-- कोके  कोला) - reminded of Satish Shah's dialogue in Akele Hum Akele Tume.
अकेले हम अकेले तुम
जो हम तुम संग हो तोह फिर  बुब्ब्ल गम and Youngistaan ka Meew!!
Third Purchase: Heinz Tomato Ketchup. @ Buy one Get Two free offer. Expired hai Sir, free mein nahi denge.


Just realized they were moving too fast too furious. Might well as sport a unshaved look and plain tomatoo salad for the day.


2. India ka A.C.
What if traveling in train is difficult.
The most strangest of the solution comes then. Necessary is necessity for Invention and mother of Congestion.


Just imagine need for a roofless train. That is a challenge for all Engineers in India. Ya it should have movable roof!! Wonder if the next Wimbeldon would be there.... We demand a lot........


 Yest it would definitely save some energy. When there is a will in India there is a Bill on the other way.... ready to pay 8000 bugs a month for same. Even I am .. just need some ALL OUT mosquito to kill those many...


3. Silence of the dogs.
This is  very recent as yesterday.
Someone said of the "Bade dakarte the sher jaise, aur kutte ke jaise ban kar" .. Well at least it made them speak and one language which continues highlight the education of the empowered leaders. There is an advantage to it... Chinese and international community do not understand this.. Also there is no IPL attached to it.

However MILO is still the best dog. “Every dog has his day - but the nights are reserved for the cats".


And yes the PJ of the year... somebody made it.

Look there is a stupid joke going out there................What is it stupid????... It will come back on its on 

and yes as RK Laxman would say Who is to blame, when You said it!!!

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.

"GAS" -- 'Generously Additive Sources'
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.

As the Bhagvad Gita Says,

akirtim capi bhutani
kathayisyanti te 'vyayam
sambhavitasya cakirtir
maranad atiricyate
People will always speak of your infamy, and for one who has been
honored, dishonor is worse than death.

karmany evadhikaras te
ma phalesu kadacana
ma karma-phala-hetur bhur
ma te sango 'stv akarmani
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
karma jyayo hy akarmanah
sarira-yatrapi ca te
na prasiddhyed akarmanah
Perform your prescribed duty, for action is better than inaction. A man
cannot even maintain his physical body without work.

naiva tasya krtenartho
nakrteneha kascana
na casya sarva-bhutesu
kascid artha-vyapasrayah
A self-realized man has no purpose to fulfill in the discharge of his
prescribed duties, nor has he any reason not to perform such work. Nor
has he any need to depend on any other living being.

tasmat sarvesu kalesu
mam anusmara yudhya ca
mayy arpita-mano-buddhir
mam evaisyasy asamsayah
"Therefore, Arjuna, you should always think of Me, and at the same time
you should continue your prescribed duty and fight. With your mind and
activities always fixed on Me and everything engaged in Me, you will
attain to Me without any doubt."

Thus, Woods please take the to the TEE whack it hard for all the condor, albatross, eagle, birdie and at least par in hole to fill all the bogeys of golfing green of life.

!!Golf awaits the Tiger of the Green Woods!!

Happy Diwali

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.

--- give it a thought.. Happy Independence Day

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.
