When written in Chinese

“When written in Chinese, the word ‘crises’ is composed of two characters – one represents danger and the other represents opportunity’ – John F. Kennedy. It is plausible for most of us to get coiled or trapped with the ‘character’ of danger when we encounter crises.   We have been conditioned by our traditional values, inherent principles, teachings, consequences of burden and logical responsive stimuli imbibed in our value system are all programmed to create an instant deterrence to work on the crises, mainly attacking from the character of ‘danger’.  Crises alert our fearful sense and stimulate the mind to look for references, experiences and information that are associated with fearful state.  Further depends on the quality of references, experiences and information, either it exhilarates more fear and discomfort or calmness. Humans are always like to live in a comfort zone.  Everything in life is executed and performed based on expected comfort level only.  Finding a j

Who should get my vote?

There are intensive discussions and analyses on all media including social media about whom we should or can vote in India’s 2014 parliament election.  I believe, the question is further narrowed to AAP versus BJP, of course Kejriwal verses Modi.  Let me write my analyses as well. Modi will bring much needed growth in our economy and no others can. This is nothing but a myth.  First of all, our economy is not that bad comparing with other nations in Asia, Europe or West.  Not to forget that the world experienced worst economic crises and India still able to produce average 6% GDP.  Well, I don’t want to credit Congress for this sustainability.  It is because of the policy that has been taken by previous governments including Narasimha Rao.   Further, the growth has reduced due to low influx of foreign investments not because of Europe and West strict policy about their own unemployment issues. Further, I do not understand the Modi’s economy model or growth plan.  Has he p

Leadership Crises

Receding of quality leadership may be a global phenomenon, but is getting worse in the biggest democracy of India.  India is suffering from quality leadership for almost six decades, though we do not expect every politician to be Mahathma Ghandi.  However, 2014 parliament election magnified the leadership crises more than ever.   Issue based politics is history now, and the politics is centered on personalities whose leadership quality is nowhere impressive in the context of country’s fundamentals and principles. We have lots of politicians but hardly any leader in Indian politics.  No present politicians are graduating to leadership grade.  There are significant differences between leaders and politicians.  A leader should be beyond socio-political divisions and exercises his or her leadership to benefit all people of the country.  The leader serves to country without any expectations and not belongs to any particular group or community.  The leader exercises honesty and humilit

Games within the game

Two years before a Chaiwala (Modi) and a Panwala (Rajnath) were propelled to the lead actor roles for BJP’s new version by the producer and script writer RSS.   It was a well thought out strategy to tame Congress young leader, the Shenshah Rahul Ghandhi.   Chaiwala Modi can be the perfect here because of his carefully cultivated image with the help of industrial tycoons and waning Congress opposition in Gujarat.  In fact, he deserved to be a lead hero for his impeccable performance as chief technician of Hindutwa Gujarat laboratory that killed; raped, maimed and displaced thousands of innocent people.  Heroes are selected and villain also identified at national level and it is a matter of releasing the movie to people’s theatre.  Paid trailers were shown in all media as Chaiwala Modi is the only hope for India and has the talisman to change Indian’s fortune as if India is in deep economic trouble.  The fact is that RSS believed Modi has got some magic to change the fortune of BJP
