May the Soul of Satyam rest in peace

Today I learned from morning newspapers that the small  kid(Satyam) who was kidnapped 1 day ago  has been killed. My deepest condolences to the grieving family  and prayers of peace to the departed soul.  It was totally shocking to learn that the murderers were boys of age 14-15. Its hard to guess which breed of humanity these devils come from. They were inspired by watching Prakash Jha’s movie Apaharan. They did the whole incident in a truly filmic way. Police seems to have sighed  relief  by arresting the killers.  But it seems to me that whole incident is not so simple as it seems to be. There are  many more people behind the scene. If  I analyse the  raising graph of crimes in the city past few days , it appears that these are centrally guided  and it will rise  more in  forthcoming days. I clearly say that they are those old   promoters of Kidnapping industry , previously headquartered in Bihar. My doubt is  aggravated by the fact that , why the police couldn’t get into the root of plot  made by children and recover the kid. Yet  they  could  recover the body when he was killed. It is impossible for children of age 14 to plan such trap alone. Actually they are mere pawns in the game, the real player is somewhere else.

Laluji to be the next Railway Minister

In the previous few days I have been busy with some of my pending works  and have finally completed over 80% of them. The most awaited website www.webmarked.net is on the verge of being release. Yesterday I uploaded its beta version (http://beta.webmarked.net) .The internship has finally started yesterday. Unfortunately there was a link failure with Bangalore so instead of video conferencing , we had to resort to  Telephonic conferencing. Mindtree has  updated us with the idea of projects but the whole details shall be sounded later on by concerned mentors. Let’s hope for its fruitful culmination.

The election results have come out  and were indeed unexpected for me. I had thought of some negatives  effects of incumbency. Yet it is difficult  to make Congress out of power , when backed by someone of Gandhi –Nehru Family. Previous days I had ample discussion with my friends over the issue. I was shocked by their views and the degree of their misguidedess. They simply ought to believe  what politicians say, instead of questioning it rationally. I will later explain what I mean by these few lines. Although I am a  complete Rightist  I wish Laluji to be the Railway Minister. He really took the whole railways department  to  the right path. I don’t believe in his profit  making figures as these as more accountancy than reality. I base my views on what I perceive. It was during his tenure that the fares went down in spite of rising fuel  prices. The fare of AC  has gone down by 24-28 % since last 5 years while for Sleeper its 8-10%, in contrast to 10%(average) inflation rate. Previous ministers were adamant to raise the fare for compensating losses. If you  account  for the trend of fare hike as in previous ministry ,  the  percentage drop will be more pronouncive..

He Burned his boats

 

A long time ago there was a great General who was faced with a situation which made it necessary for him to make a drastic decision to insure his success on the battlefield. He was about to send his army on shore to face a powerful enemy, whose men outnumbered his. He loaded his soldiers into boats, and sailed to face the enemies on shore. When they reached the shore, he ordered them to unload the soldiers and cargoes. He then ordered for all the ships and boats to be burned.

Addressing his men before the battle, he said, "You see the ships and boats going up in smoke. That means that we cannot leave these shores alive unless we win! We now, have no choice – either we win, or we perish."

They WON!

SUCCESS PRINCIPLES

Just like the General, we have to burn all our bridges if we want to achieve success. There can be no room for retreat and we must have an attitude of, "Whatever it takes", taking into consideration that we can have anything we desire provided we do not violate Universal Laws and the rights of our fellow human beings. Do not dwell on the past. Move forward with confidence and we will surely see success, unexpected in common hours.

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE

"A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles."
