Advani's Jan Chetna Yatra

Mr. Advani simply cannot stop reinventing the wheel. He keeps on climbing the same dilapidated "Rath" (Chariot for the uninformed !) . He did it some 20 odd years ago and at that time it was a novelty, people were swayed and they followed Advani. 20 years down the line you cannot expect people to be overawed and charmed or fascinated by your appeals or yatra, especially when there is little substance remaining in it. BJP is equally corrupt and there is hardly anything to chose. Mr. Yedyurappa (or what ever way it is spelt ) from Karnataka had made the BJP hang its head in shame and hardly leaves anything for imagination. He was corrupt to the core had had not budged by the mounting pressure for his resignation . But when things became unmanageable he had to step down. How shameless a person can become, just watch our politicians. They simply do not have any fear because they know the people are tolerant, indifferent and would cause them no harm. It is indifference of the common man which gives these politicians the courage to indulge in scams and walk with their head held high amidst the Z Security which is provided at tax payers expense.
Mr. Advani please clean your own house before embarking upon your tattered "Rath" and preaching against corruption. We all know that before you die you want to become the Prime Minister, but I guess you have missed the bus ! Accept it.
Just happened to read, that Mr. Yedyurappa is complaining backache while he is in judicial custody,undergoes medical check up , gets mineral water to drink, magazines to read. Is he he being imprisoned or on a paid vacation. Really these news make me sick, very sick.

Planned Separation

Asking somebody to leave the organization under the garb of Planned Separation is really painful. Howsoever incompetent the person may be, you can see the pain in the eyes of the person when you ask him to leave the organization. But I guess that is life, survival of the fittest.
The Company does not give you a chance or runs on sympathy, like wise you are also free to leave the Company when an opportune time comes, Time and Tide wait for none.... I work for money, if you want loyalty hire a dog !! Several proverbs keep criss  crossing my mind, amidst the misty eyes of the individual who was the victim of planned separation.

Corporate Social Responsibility

Corporate Social Responsibility or CSR has become the new buzz world in business circles. I tried to understand the meaning and rationale behind this term and came to know it is way of giving back to the community by the business houses to the same community with whom you do business. Companies have now set up separate departments to undertake CSR, roped in the spouses of employees who want to do charity at the expense of the Company. Now this has become a new business in it self, undertaking charity, documenting it, advertising it and then claiming tax exemption for the money which was spent.
In the first place, you earn exorbitant profits for the services which are provided by you, price your products at unreasonable levels and then give back the same money which you earn and call it CSR. Why should you not run your business in a proper way, without cheating anybody, by earning reasonable sums of money ? But I guess then you cannot earn publicity, nor can you get tax benefits or have the privilege of lecturing people on the "Art of Giving"
Let common sense prevail, that is all I can expect
