Private matters
These are depressing times in blogland. Our fav blog is dead, and the writer of this blog has himself admitted to be running out of ideas.
But then the show must go on. So I am shaking off lethargy to write something.
And these are depressing times in the political arena as well. Let us take a look at a portion of the CMP of the current UPA government. Link from Hindu.
"The UPA Government is very sensitive to the issue of affirmative action, including reservations in the private sector. It will immediately initiate a national dialogue with all political parties, industry and other organisations to see how best the private sector can fulfil the aspirations of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes youth."
Very noble intentions indeed. But if they are going to be forced upon the corporate sector in the form of quotas, then this will seriously impinge upon their competitiveness in the global market. We all know how the government has hampered the PSUs with its interference. As an example, because of the government's insistence to keep fuel prices down, the PSU oil companies like IOC, HPCL and BPCL are losing crores everyday when the global oil prices show no signs of coming down. Now wonder it is said that the State should not be in the business of running business.
The objective of a free enterprise is to maximise profit, which means it needs to hire the best people to do the job. The private sector has been a shining example of the free market and, it would be in India's interest to maintain it like that.

:) pyaare.. I wish to write something.. seriously. Hopefully I will start writing soon..
I dont want to write what I had for breakfast (as famously said by Aldrin himself). I dont want to write some serious stuff.. because I think they dilute my feelings.
Lets see what is left..
But I really appreciate your blog man!! I have already given up on analyzing Indian Politics. May be because my analysis is done. :D
And I would really like to imbibe your qualities of perseverance in this regard.
keep up the good work..

lets see..
blogging has been getting out of habit/thoughts. The less I read blogs the less I write. Need to do something, but then I think instead of writing for the sake of writing, better not to write.
