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...

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.
