Congress and BJP, strange but sure bedfellows.

In continuing with the BJP's incapacity we can only wonder what would be the world like if Congress and its cronies were to rule for next four years!

Frankly, in my books it is given that Congress will play some form of role in the next government  It could be in the role of the direct leadership (unlikely) or a senior prominent coalition partner (very likely) or an opposition. I think, the next elections will be same as it ever was, just scheming people to hand over their lives for five more years. 

There is no way BJP will ruin its chances because it very well knows it cannot capitalise on the corruption issues of Congress. Don't know what was paid to keep them silent, but it is certain that it will cost them the best chance to landslide victory they ever had. Well, they can still manufacture that victory, if they promise the Congress that the charges and investigations will go slow - read committees and JPCs. Why, that is the perfect solution for both BJP's and Congress's problems. And given all the things that we see, you can be pretty sure, such a thing might be conjured up --- IF, BJP is any interested in power at all. 

BJP, the so called principal opposition, has to answer lots of questions. They cannot negate the fact they were an utterly irresponsible and ineffective opposition. Whats more they were utterly negligent and incapable of using the opportunity offered by the open corruption of the ruling party. They have failed in every aspects of a good governing party. 

And to rest the fate of our country on the shoulders of these two corrupt bedfellows is utterly ridiculous and grudging position that India finds itself in.

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...

Value of dollar - Part 1

A Simple Perspective Will Do The date is 2000-05-28. Don't you get tired of all the bad news bears reminding you of all these instabilities, excesses, and 'potential' tensions in the global economy? After all, hasn't it always been like that? Yes it has, but not in money it hasn't. Increasingly, investors find it harder to know where to put their savings. What about Government Bonds? Wrong. Their recent record of capital losses have wiped out your guaranteed yields, probably because the stock market keeps crowding them out, and this even in a strong dollar and low inflation environment. Furthermore, there is no reliable liquidity and potentially poor quality debt in the corporate sector. Foreign assets? Wrong. Most of the world's economies are riskier, have been under performing, and also, there is this thing called currency risk. Like how is the average person gonna cope with currency...

Depreciation of British Pound 1900-2000

When the Bank of England was formed the powers to create money was finally transferred to private hands. The creation of Fed in US, was just a part of this cycle. Though it is a common knowledge US Dollar has depreciated nearly 100% since the creation of Federal Reserve, the same is the case of all the currencies across the globe. For example, below is the UK Parliament data that highlights the depreciating value of Pound.
