Aam Admi is here ... finally

Aam Admi, the good people of Mango county, finally have a party. Its got to be seen if it will indeed work for their betterment. 

I have been critical of Arvind Kejirwal in past (here) and also hopeful that he will be able to give some direction (here and here), but at the end of the day, I am still very unsure how this will pan out.

What is very crucial here is not to put the entire weight of Anti-Corruption success and expectations of Kejriwal's party, for India and Indians cannot take the risk of one party leading and executing on this crucial front. 

Totally agree with this article at Firstpost. Though there are differences in the way corruption-solutions are viewed, the biggest risk is in their views on rest of the issues. And this is going to be their biggest chink in armor  From Firstpost

"Kejriwal and Bhushan look around them, see mass poverty as a result of failed socialist policies over 65 years – and conclude that what India  needs is yet more of the same socialist policies.

They see the plunder by Big Business, with the connivance of Big Government, and they conclude, erroneously, that profit-making in its entirety is a crime."

It doesn't take much to understand businesses are going to hate this party. They will see as a throwback to Nehruvian socialism. They have taken a stance which is Centrist-Left and unfortunately, once you head down that road of spoon-feeding people, there is no going back.

Anyway Aam Admi party has long way to go. For now, lets wish it all the very best.

    How many educated people are in India? Whatever the number be. I urge all indians who are fed up of being taken for granted or are too lazy to give a fitting reply to the uneducated so called leaders in the parliament, please stand up now and at least give his party a chance. Its better than electing the scoundrels again. Do your bit this time, we have social media, please encourage others to give kejriwals party a chance so that India may finally see a good governance. Thanks.

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
