Manmohan Singh, the most honest man in the universe.

Human beings are all about stories and what makes stories interesting are the characters and their virtues in this passing frames called life  Every often there come people who are larger than life i.e. they live even beyond the long passages of time. People remember them for lots of reasons and most important of all their character and virtues, and their actions. These wonderful people leave behind a legacy to cherish, idol-ate and emulate. They become in their course of this passage a veritable milestone for other come behind to guide and emulate.

This distinction of being idols of humanity din't come on a platter. They had to prove it. It could be somebody from the accounted history or somebody from the pre-historic oral history. Be it Rama having to prove himself, or Krishna, or Sita herself. Take Bible - Abhraham, Job, all the apostles, why even Jesus - had to prove their worth and character before being accepted. Take Prophet Mohammed [PBUH] and his tribesmen, din't they have to prove their indeology and what they stood for? Closer timeline be it Akbar, Jhansi Rani Laxmi Bai, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Lala or Gandhi or Nehru or Subash or Vallabhbhai .... everybody had to prove their worth. Take the world, be it Abraham Lincoln, Churchill, Matrin Luther King,  and million others. Everybody had their critics, and at all times these glorious legends took on the challenge to prove their ideologies and character to be accepted by society.

In India's glorious 5000 years of history, there may never have been a person or never will be, whose character is above criticism and who honesty is so unquestioned like that of Mr. Manmohan Singh. 

100 crore people do, and have to accept the honesty of Mr. Singh, unquestionably. There have been no question what so ever. The people who could question Lord Ram or Ma Sita could never bring themselves to question a person who evidences strongly suggest that he is not -- honest.

Manmohan Singh truly deserves, in the present count, the title of The Most Honest Man in the History of India. errr.. lets make it the The Most Unquestioned Honest Man in the History of India.


On a serious note, to accept anything - even existence of God or significance of a religion or any greater questions - should be un-hesitatingly challenged in a free society. But the times are such and we are so brain-drained, group-think addicted and uncritical life that which we lead is a mark of our intellectual slavery stronger and worse than the chains that could bind hands and feet.

[Ya, exaggerate but WTH! Step forward and prove me wrong!! I will be happy to accept my defeat.]

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
