Its the "political" 'system'


We are all frustrated of how this country is run. We all accept that this country has lived well below its expectations and strengths. Its very frustrating to see how the growth prospects are hijacked by egomanical few. There are many such valid and even justified indignation we Indians have had to suffer for so long and with no hope.

India is everything but its not broken. Its a miserable country in its present state but it has glorious days ahead. The system is not broken.

Actually, we should blister whenever somebody says system is broken. It is not so. Saying the entire system has broken is a gross insult to millions of hard working people who keep these systems running whether they be post-office, a train, a port, a plant, a bus service, riotous traffic or garbage collection. The sacrifices these people make on face of almost no growth, motivation or better life to look forward to in this miserably entwined country, is something we must all respect. To not acknowledge these backward systems as completely broken is unfortunate.

Hence, next time we stop to criticize the system is broken, lets make one thing very clear - its the political system which is broken.

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...

Definition of Cult Stocks

From a blog: A classification describing stocks that have a sizable investor following, despite the fact that the underlying company has somewhat insignificant fundamentals. Typically, investors are initially attracted to the company's potential and accumulate positions in speculation that its potential will be fulfilled, providing the investors with a substantial payout. While most of these cult stocks promise they will be the next big story after they make a new discovery or get the newest contract from the government, most do not provide investors with anything other than the story. Furthermore, these stocks typically generate very little, if any, revenue at all. For example, many micro-cap biotech stocks are cult stocks. While they promise that they are going to be working on a miracle compound or drug, most of them do not have any source of income as they slowly burn away their initial capital in research and development. However, some cult stocks do occasionally make good on...
