A simple reason why BJP will fail.

What do you do when somebody elected to ensure checks and balances fails miserably? In such a circumstance are the perpetrators to the crime to be blamed or the lack enforcement by the watchdogs?

Well, if you are reading the above sentence in terms of a financial market scam - where greed and power are pretty much the primary motive - the accused would be the watchdog who was meant to regulate the perpetrators. But if you look at it from the point of view of Indian politics, suddenly the entire situation is changed and the perpetrators become the criminals and the watchdogs are heroes! 

I can't understand how can BJP claim to have an higher moral ground than the deeply corrupt Congress, while they have been sleeping silently with them for years in the scam. 

Seriously, what has BJP done in terms of showing its disenchantment with the present government  Only thing that pops up in mind, is that they severely broke the parliamentary functioning with direct result of the entire nation getting hurt in that impasse. Apart from this counter-productive thing, BJP has done nothing that they should have done as a responsible watch dog opposition. 

The moot question simply is: If BJP are such a lousy, weak and feeble opposition party, how can they lay their claim to govern people responsibly as a governing party?!

They can't. And any talk of high ground or victimization is total nonsense. This crying that we were helpless, does not cut the cake.

My prediction is simply this: BJP will be as bad a government as UPA was, probably even worse. Only exception I would make to this observation is that if Modi becomes a Prime minister.

And by deduction, India is screwed again - for four more years.

For all the bullshit surrounding Rahul, the bloke has got one thing perfectly well aligned, very well depicted by below cartoon.

Cognitive rules of business presentations

In his recent book, Clear and to the Point, Kosslyn explained that the four rules of PowerPoint are: The Goldilocks Rule, The Rudolph Rule, The Rule of Four, and the Birds of a Feather Rule. Here's how they work. The Goldilocks Rule refers to presenting the "just right" amount of data. Never include more information than your audience needs in a visual image. As an example, Kosslyn showed two graphs of real estate prices over time. One included ten different numbers, one for each year. The other included two numbers: a peak price, and the current price. For the purposes of a presentation about today's prices relative to peak price, those numbers were the only ones necessary. The Rudolph Rule refers to simple ways you can make information stand out and guide your audience to important details -- the way Rudolph the reindeer's red nose stood out from the other reindeers' and led them. If you're presenting a piece of relevant data in a list, why not mak...

Monetary inflation, Spiritual devaluation

Its been sometime I have been trying to make some special people understand the evils of inflation. Inflation is an abstract subject most of us dont know about, let alone understand the technicalities amidst jargons. I have in my previous post have briefly touched the social part of inflation but never in a concentrated way. I understand what my friends mean when they say "tell me in layman’s language." It is not a heartening sign, that they avoid technicalities. But it could well be that knowing where they stand, their role and understanding the social changes in the light of inflation may motivate them to understand the term "inflation." This is just to highlight the brief points. First and the foremost, is there any link between inflation numbers and society. Yes. The relation is same as the relation between society and money. What is money? Money is an easy means of exchange. If I am selling my horses to a pig-farmer and I am not interested in taking pigs in ret...

Unprecedented External Demand Shock Underway

India’s export growth averaged 24.8% over the last three years, driven by strong global growth. However, over the last three months, export growth has decelerated sharply. While until recently the strong demand from emerging markets including Latin America, Emerging Europe, the Middle East and Africa ensured that export growth remained healthy, over the last three months disruptions in the macro environment of these economies have been evident. Apart from weakening demand, exports have also been affected by the lack of availability of foreign trade credit and inventory liquidation. India’s exports declined by 12.1%Y in October 2008 compared with 10.4% in September and 26.9% in August. While we expect some improvement in the second half of 2009, exports are likely to be unusually weak over the next six months. We now expect exports to decline by 5.3%Y in 2009 compared with 12.7% in 2008 (estimated) and 23.1% in 2007 Excerpt source
