There is no corruption, stupid!

It is simply incredible how little BJP talks about corruption. Why are they not out of the streets and tv studios talking it everyday? What is the platform they want to contest the next elections, if at all they want to contest it seriously. (I am totally baffled by their lack of seriousness in taking up corruption as issue because that is their biggest opportunity lying around and well, they are just not interested!)

The baton has been picked by likes of Kejriwal and even Mamta Banerjee! You got to be kidding, when the principal opposition party in the house has no interest on the burning issue. Or do they have hidden benefits not to puruse the matter beyond the point of break?

Meanwhile, Congress' strategy for bigger elections seems to be on dry runs at Himachal. It basically involves deflecting blame for being corrupt and blaming the system to have enabled the corruption. If I am correct and that's really a pointer, that's a pathetic! All the more reasons for BJP to attack. But I don't see any such attacks anywhere.

In simple words what Congress' "System is broken" simply means is, Don't blame the guy who stole the cookies but blame the guy who kept cookies from where it could be stolen! That's absurd!! It's absurd and a practically useless rhetoric because there is no system that cannot be broken. The incorruptible system does not and will never exist, except in realms of fairy tales. Their stating they took cookies because it was there to be taken is morally indefensible.

It's really frustrating to see the opposition parties so lost right now. Opportunities as big as elephant is staring them in their face but they are blind to it. So much, we have to wonder if they are pretending.

Until we see some movement, Kejriwal seems to be the only 'opposition party' worth watching.

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
