Happy Independence Day!!

यहाँ तिरंगा चिन्दा चिन्दा करने की आज़ादी है जिन्दा रहेने पर पाबंदी, मरने की आज़ादी है संविधान में आग लगा कर तापो यह आज़ादी है हाथों को चाहे जिसकी गर्दन नापो आज़ादी है इस आज़ादी में बस केवल राष्ट्रप्रेम पर बंधन है... ऐसे यह GUNTANTRA तुम्हारा स्वागत है अभिनन्दन है..... Baba Satyanarayan Mourya

What are the things to keep in mind while making a good PowerPoint presentation?

This is a post that I have written as part of my application to become a facebook beta tester. A great PowerPoint presentation can go a long way in the making of a successful deal. Business or recreation or learning, PPTs today, rule our world. And if you are good at it you do get noticed. But if you are bad at it you surely get noticed. The other way that is… Here are therefore six points that one may keep in mind while making a presentation and be sure of not being noticed the other way. Length of PPT in terms of slides is one of the most important factors in a business presentation. The thumb rule is minimum of 6 and maximum of 20 slides keeping in mind the average “interested” human attention span. Anything beyond 20 and it will bore your audience except if you are Megan Fox or Brad Pitt. If the limit of slides is 20, it never means that you cram all that you have got in 20 slides and feel happy about it. A slide with too much information whether text or images is st...

What are the disadvantages of Democracy in India?

This is a post that I have written as part of my application to become a facebook beta tester. While it may sound absurd to discuss disadvantages of Democracy in the World’s largest democracy, it seems there if some weight in the arguments that democracy has not been entirely good for this nation. In a nation where about 40% (400 Millions) of the population is illiterate and about 25% of the population (250 Millions) live below poverty line which is less than a dollar a day, one can only imagine the kind of governments thrown up when this 40% votes. In the last General elections held in India, in 2009, only 59% of the eligible population voted which given the demographics of the country is about 30% of the total population. Of these 30% voters 30% voted for the UPA which therefore won and came to power. The UPA actually received about 153 million votes which are actually only 10% of the population. So in a country where 10% votes can win you power and you have 40% people who are i...

Thoughts on Shaheed Diwas

दुनिया की रंगीन छटाओं को जिनने ठुकराया था, स्वतंत्रता के चरणों में अपना सर्वस्व चढ़ाया था मिले देश को आज़ादी इसलिए सभी दुःख ज़ेल गए, हम जी पाए इस खातीर वो खेल मौत का खेल गए वन वन रहे भटकते जीवन में न सुख उठाया था, स्वर्ग सरीखा भारत होगा ऐसा सपन सजाया था टूट टूट कर बिखर गए जितने भी सपन संजोये रे पहेले दास कबीरा रोये अब बाबा भी रोये रे........ बाबा सत्यनारायण मौर्य

Women Power or Woo Men Power?

We the mango people are often debating over the matters the white kurta clad people are upto..yes the Indian Politicians and politics. On a survey conducted 9.99( so you can round it of to 10) of 10 people have a negetive opinion about politics..while i agree it is not always so never the less it is often so... The woman's bill - with no offense to any woman as i owe my existence to womanhood..still do you think its FAIR.. according to one of the definitions of discrimination which reads like this.. "treating one person better than another because of their age,GENDER, race religion or other protected class status,which is NOT RELEVANT to the job that they perform." and i surely feel leadership is not gender based.. Well if there are women who are capable of representing us they are being voted n elected then why choke democracy...making a 33% reservation for 15 years (so that a few political parties can have DUMMY women candidates to gain majority). For instance just to ...

Random thoughts on politics.

I wrote these lines about a decade back.. I then, had no real clue of politics but now when I look at this it is so apt for today. आसमान से आयें है जायेंगे आसमानों में गुज़रे कभी स्मशानो से, ठहरे कभी मकानों में इस छोटे से सफ़र में न जाने क्या क्या देखा हमने प्यासे को प्याऊ की जगह जाते देखा मयखानों में अपनी माँ को बेचते हुए देखा उस दरिंदे को सर से पाँव तक डूबा था जो उसके अहेसानो में वतनपरस्त के नाम पर वतन को बेचने चला कर दिया उसने जो सुना नहीं फसानो में चौतरफ इस ज़माने में दरिंदगी फैली है "धिमंत" कौन है वह जिसने डाल दी शैतानियत इंसानों में दुनिया की नादारी से ठेस लगी है इस दिल में उस मालिक खुदा को ढूंढते है दीवानों में

Further to the last Post - About India going pakistan's way

As I sit today trying digest the fact that all the matches of IPL have now been moved (almost) to Mumbai, I wonder where this will take us. You see Shiv Sena has already tried doing a lot of damage when they protested against SRK's Movie. And they still have not said anything that comforts a cricket enthusiast about the IPL. You never know what they will be up to. The AP government on the other hand is trying to pursue Deccan Chargers to boycott the entire IPL itself!! This may further lead to confusion this time between a Government and the BCCI which may have complex implications. Hope things fall in place like last time and cricket takes its deserving center stage soon...
