I have always been fond of Arun Shourie's approach to politics and people. Of late, my fondness towards him has gone up many notches, and  I am 100% on his side when he says that MODI has fast-tracked the union of opposition parties. Maybe it is beyond my human capacity to assess their scorecard, as a citizen my day is status quo

A very cold winter!  It was autumn, and the Red Indians asked their New Chief if the winter was going to be cold or mild.  Since he was a Red Indian chief in a modern society, he couldn't tell what the weather was going to be.  Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he replied to his Tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village should collect wood to be prepared.  But also being a practical leader, after several days he got an idea. He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked 'Is the coming winter going to be cold?'  'It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold indeed,' the weatherman responded.  So the Chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more wood. A week later, he called the National Weather Service again. 'Is it going to be a very cold winter?'  'Yes,' the man at National Weather Service again replied, 'It's definitely going to be a very c...

"When I was growing up, my parents told me, 'Finish your dinner. People in India are starving.' Now I tell my daughters, 'Finish your homework. People in India are starving for your job" Said Thomas Friedman, an American journalist The story of India is inspiring, adoring and aspiring. Let us all focus on the India that scares world with its feel good factor. Let us not distract ourselves with the divisive course few people want us to get in.

Amazing logic indeed. This is a crazy world! Interesting article written by an Indian Economist Japanese save a lot. They do not spend much. Also, Japan exports far more than it imports. Has an annual trade surplus of over 100 billion. Yet Japanese economy is considered weak, even collapsing. Americans spend, save little. Also US imports more than it exports. Has an annual trade deficit of over $400 billion. Yet, the American economy is considered strong and trusted to get stronger. But where from do Americans get money to spend? They borrow from Japan, China and even India. Virtually others save for the US to spend. Global savings are mostly invested in US, in dollars. India itself keeps its foreign currency assets of over $50 billion in US securities. China has sunk over $160 billion in US securities. Japan's stakes in US securities is in trillions. Result: The US has taken over $5 trillion from the world. So, as the world saves for the US - It'...

Often, our relationships become an unrealized quest for what is perfect, unfettered, and free of flaws. We expect our partners, our friends to avoid missteps and to be magical mind readers. These secret expectations play a sinister part in many of the great tragedies of our lives: failed companionships, dissipated dreams, abandoned careers, outcast family, deserted children, and discarded friendships. We readily forget what we once knew as children: our flaws are not only natural but integral to our beings.  Imperfection and excellence are intertwined. There has to be a joy in our pain, strength in weakness, courage in compassion, and power in forgiveness  Extracted from Ann Brasco's notes on authentic living  Sent from my iPhone
