Whose Gas is it anyway???

With the country split across the middle from the common man on the streets to the rickshaw driver to the kitty party crowd to the corporate chieftains to the all powerful netas of our great country depending on where you are looking from, the brothers are literally having a gala time hogging the limelight over a non issue. This dispute over the supply or the non supply of the KG basin gas has suddenly brought more fodder to the breaking news generation after the H1N1 scare. Anil Ambani, media savvy like always initiated the debate, with a press conference at the meet of his group company RNRL to air his views with accusations at Murli Deora, the Union Petroleum minister of having sided with his estranged elder brother. This was a completely frustrated move which could be as direct as possible having accused a union minister nonethless. This just goes to show that no one, not even a Union Minister of the ruling government can escape the wrath of the super rich & powerful in this country, so what does an oppresed comman man do when faced with smaller problems in life? Well, the sad usual disussions like these can be dealt in another forum.
Ambani Jrs crony Mr. Mulayam Singh Yadav, has along with his goons of the SP managed to stall or disturb proceedings in the LS last week making this corporate war basically part of the legislative proceedings. Similar attempts were made to disrupt the RS, but Ambani Srs' gatekeepers out there managed to silence the Junior's cronies.
Which gets me back to one essentail question....Now since the KG basin is part of our country Whom does the KG gas belong to? The warring brothers who hade an unofficial agreement between them in 2005 to share their fathers business,the baisis of the deal. Again the question Whose Gas is it anyway???....

Why should we speak Hindi???

I was just watching an episode of 'The Big Fight' on NDTV 24*7 on Sunday morning which featured Sanjay Nirupam (ex Shiv Sena now Congress), Akhilesh Dubey (Legal VP,MNS,dats a mockery),a SP MLA and some academic of South Indian origin and DMK MP Ms. Kanimozhi joining via VC. The debate was on the entire incident after Abu Asim Azmi was slapped after taking his oath in Hindi. In the entire debate, the one thing that struck was that the North India politicians from SP & Congress were vehement on Hindi being spoken & accepted as the National language. Just because Hindi is the language of choice of the 2 major BIMARU states in India and just because 40 crore Indians speak that language it doesn't entitle it to become the National language. Though, I dont support Raj Thackeray, I am firm in the belief that the influx of the North Indian migrants into Mumbai is bleeding the city I love, and its imperative for us to protect the Marathi language.If people can come in Mumb...

Villa Barca Bound

Image
Unconfirmed reports are emanating from the media that Villa is finally going to become a La Blaugrana player. Though loyal Barca fans like me were anticipating the move, it was not confirmed whether the Valencia marksman would come to the Nou Camp after Valencia declaring he was not for sale to the Los Merengues. But then Laporta has declared mid week that Villa is indeed coming to Nou Camp.Reports claim that the deal is valued at €40mn. This though, might see the exit of Etoo to create the liquidity for the Villa deal. Now, this really makes La Liga the undisputed centre of attraction in European Football taking the spotlight away from the Premier League which had dominated the sport since the last few years. Also the El Classico this year would be the one of the greatest ever if not the greatest. I mean, just imagine the players lining up on both sides of the pitch. I am going crazy out here. Though im a hardcore Barca fan, I still feel any neutral person would also agree that Barca...

The Importance of LinkedIn

Image
Since it was founded in December 2002 and launched officially on 5th May 2003,  LinkedIn has taken the professional networking world by storm. Though it may not have clocked stupendous membership numbers like its other famous social media network i.e. Facebook, LinkedIn has become the be all end all tool for working professionals to network on and be seen on it. I wont be exaggerating if I say that it is embarassing for a working professional not to have a LinkedIn profile nowadays. I for one, do make it a point to search for a potential employee's/clients' LI profile first before meeting him/her in the real life (yes, it still does exist in this age of social media).   As of January 2013, LI has reported 200 million members in 200 countries and terrritories and growing at a phenomenal rate. LI actually helps people to expand their professional networks, canvass for real jobs, form their own relevant alumni meetings/groups, company networks, etc. LI has actua...
