Amma (Jayalalithaa) : we will always miss you

Amma, A nick name itself explain many things about the irony women. She was not only a political leader but was also a Messiah for many people. Her lost will definitely affect the statehood of the people.

Jayalalithaa did not need and had never needed the media hype as many of us seen/heard in the News as among the thousands gathered outside Apollo Hospital during her last hours. Many of her followers started crying and even eager to know about her day to day health conditions. Many of them started doing religious activities for the well being of her life that determines how she was famous among their well wishers.

Her Political career saw her rebound from corruption cases and rise to the chief ministership of Tamil Nadu five times because of her development agenda for the welfare of needy people. Her political campaign strategy was completely different and a unique for the nation.

She was not much active on Social media apart she was also not much into the main stream media for branding herself, instead she took the personal branding of state services to a whole new level- with subsidies Amma canteens, Amma medicines, Mineral water, salt, and Cement on top of freebies like induction stores, laptops, bicycles, mixer grinders, gold coins and many such more.

Any state can develop and judge by their administrative efficiency that Tamil Nadu has seen a leading state in attracting investments and easy of doing businesses. She helped her state achieve a competitive diversity of industry and services, during her first stint as Chief Minister; for example, she pulled off a achievement by getting FORD to invest in the state- which paid off in terms of Tamil Nadu developing into one of India’s premier auto hubs.

Finally, she was not a Politician of Photo-ops, but a lady with the messiah for many.

You will always miss


 AMMA!! Your soul rest in peace.

who is American choice of 2016: Trump Vs Clinton ??

The US presidential election is still few days away, and none can predict  100%, who will enter the White House as the next president, as both Republican Candidate “Donald Trump” and democratic candidate “Hillary Clinton” are trying to use every single possible campaigning strategy to grab the chair.

As per the survey conducted by different agencies till third week of Oct “Hilary Clinton” being ahead by 5 to 11% margins against her counterpart “Donald Trump”, which is huge. Many of the US elections are won on margins of less than 2%.

Earlier, some opinion polls put Trump ahead  but after the leaked of a 2005 video tape which containing his obscene comments on women and the revelations that he avoided paying taxes for 18 years that put a question mark over his suitability for the post of US President .

Now it’s “Clinton”, she too is facing serious allegations over the mishandling of classified emails as secretary of state ahead of the Polls in the last moment, which is a political gift to Trump to make a new strategy against his counterpart and comeback in the race.

Recent opinion poll till 1st Nov conducted by ABC news, that put Donald trump ahead of the democratic rival by the margins of (45-46)1 point that gives some relief to Trump and more dreadful to Clinton. Now it’s very pleasant to predict, who will be the real winner of the White House as both rivals are showing their final leg of strength to attract voters.

India is also closely observing the presidential election to understand how bilateral ties between the two countries would progress. Else, One thing is clear from the Republican and Democratic campaigns, the next President of the United States will impact the trading partners of America and their respective economies. 

What might a Trump presidency look like for India-US relations? Most of what Trump has said about India, and about its neighbors, suggests that he would lift the Indo-US relationship out of its rut. As president, he could well disrupt the balance of power in Asia, shifting it in favor of India.

While Clinton is a known quantity to Indian government officials: First Lady for eight years, US senator for another eight, then secretary of state for four. All the while she has been a friend of India.

Finally, whoever will be the next American President as the world community is also anxiously waiting to see how the new US administration will respond to important international issues, including China’s assertive posturing in the South China Sea, the crises in Syria, Ukraine and Iraq, the menace of terrorism and others?

Why is India so bad in sports ??

A nation feels proud while their players win a dozen medals in the global competitions and for a billion plus nation it matters a lot because it’s not just only make nation proud in globally but also motivates millions of youth to come forward, to play and make India proud.

In Beijing Olympic 2008, our medal tally were just 3 (1 Gold and 2 Bronze) and during London Olympic 2012, our medal tally drag to 6 that lulled us thinking we were racing towards sporting powerdom, even our official predictions of at least 10 medals in Rio 2016. 

Frankly a billion no of Indian were hopeless to get a single medal at Rio Olympic as our every top performer athletics has lost their game but kudos to Badminton champion P.V. Sindhu’s silver towards the end of the Rio Games sparked an outpouring of national pride and celebrations, along with wrestler Sakshi Malik’s late bronze.

A billion plus nation is expecting more when our player’s performance has been improving in globally but in Rio Olympic, we seemed unable to deal with the added pressure, and we seemed to lack the depth required when coming up against some really impressive competitors.

India, a country obsessed with Cricket, has never finished high on the medal table — winning just 28 from 24 Olympic appearances.  Why our Players were struggling to win a medal?? If we can celebrate while winning a medal then why not we have to think about our poor performance??

According to me some of the common reason behind our Poor Performance at Rio Olympic; we don’t have special fund especially for sports. We don’t have good trainer cum training academy. We don’t focus much to encourage other games (except Cricket), even sometimes it’s very difficult to find mutual understanding between Players and Coach (As most of the athletics players feel unconscious with their coach because of some kind of harassment). Indians are a large and diverse gene pool. We don’t spend enough or in the right direction to win Olympic medals. We don’t have a decent sporting culture or a grassroots pipeline to catch young talented in sports. Apart as partly true a dozen no of Indian Parents don’t support kids to play and even participate in sports as it has no future.

It is important to see numbers, Australia with a mere 20 million pollution, averages around 50 medals in every Olympics. The total amount it spends on sports around Rs 700 crore, of which 80% (Rs 560 crore goes into Olympic sports but in India, Sports Minister Vijay goel in rajya sabha on 26 July 2016 said that his minister is going to spent Rs. 49.2 crore ($7.3 million) on India’s Rio athletes that included Rs 25 crore under Target Olympic Podium (TOP) scheme. Apart from another 49.2 million ($7.1 million spent on 67 sports federations since 2012. This is nothing compared to the Australia, which has gone from any Olympics also ran to Top 10 position. 

In general India is weak in sports that require world class levels of physical fitness, although it in terms of poor sports infrastructure and the corruption that undoubtedly affects sports administration in India.

A Report Card : 2 Yrs of Modi Govt.

 Change is never easy and shake up the system makes more opponents. Just NDA led BJP govt. have accomplished their 2 years at office and there is a mix bag of achievements. As NDA led Modi govt. came to power with two key promises and it's time to evaluate his enactment on both, one promise was "Achhe Din" (Good day) with the slogan "Sabka Saath n Sabka Vikas" and while other was "Congress Mukt Bharat".

After 2014 general elections and recent state level elections results proclaiming itself example of "Congress Mukt Bharat" and can say NDA led BJP govt.is aggressively capturing the key power from Congress ruling states by one to another.

On development, Government has been taken several steps to revive the economy and maintain the GDP growth. As people wanted instant results for the whole thing whether it is in providing Jobs, dropping prices, improving agriculture, endorsing business and industry etc.

According to me; the feeling of "Achhe Din" is not that much of charismatic but we neither denied the development work done by the Modi government.

As we should have to feel proud for our Prime Minister as he has ideas to lead India and few of them who don't recognize it are either in denial or plain jealous and don't have the best curiosity of the country's at heart.

There is no doubts that govt. has worked relentlessly in every sector whether it is to booming economy, Agriculture, Railways, Foreign diplomats, Highways, Power, Satellite launching and etc.

On development, Modi took several decisions in the economic field, such as Make in India, Swachh Bharat (Clean India), Crop Insurance Programme, Clean Ganga, Skill India, Jan Dhan Yojana (People's Bank Plan), MUDRA loan scheme and several more. All these programs need to be implemented with purpose so that their results become evident quickly for the common men.

Gram Jyoti is rapidly laying infrastructure to electrify every single village in the city and while the National Highways is being built 18 KM on every day basis. Apart from a big achievement of the govt. is providing Subsidy on cooking fuels in the hands of Middlemen and needy people under Jan Dhan Yojana to launch "PAHAL" where subsidies are directly credited to bank accounts.

Modi led govt. has taken concrete step of subsidies energy prices and instantaneously moved to hike its target of renewable energy to 175 GW over the next 10 years. The another big success of Modi govt. in office, is that there is not a single huge corruption scandal or scam over the last two years and apart from this Modi has used India's soft power in Yoga, Culture, and Philosophy to good effect in the world.

During these two years in office Modi govt. enthusiasm in strengthening relations with many foreign dignitaries like US, UK, Central Asia, West Asia, SAARC Countries, France, Russia and other countries that have been fruitful as he has made foreign strategy a major element in India's domestic economic development.

These 2 yrs.in office Modi led govt. failed to deliver Jobs to the youth as of now still many graduate scholars are looking for a better career. The big hallow one is the Black Money promise, where NDA govt. promised to bring black money within 100 days after taking over the office.

Modi govt. has failed the diplomat's relationships with our neighbouring countries China, Pakistan and Nepal. As all these countries has been pushed by the Chinese.  Apart from Modi's vision of India ("Unity for all, development for all) is not been in action so far.

The Overall, a good sign of the Modi government is really transforming India. In short, much good has taken place over the last two years for which the new government deserves a lot of credit. But much more remains to be done in near future.  

Another battle of the Cricket: India Vs Pak T-20 World Cup

Today’s match is all about for super Saturday. One match and unlimited entertainment with Fun, pressure. Winner will be one but entertainment will be high. . It’s a highly time for both Indian and Pakistani teams to play and win the match. It has been a long awaited international face-off between two rival’s teams India and Pakistan after the recent successful completion of Micromax T-20 Asia Cup where India Successfully won against Pakistan and captured the Trophy.

The Kind of hype in Today’s Kolkata match is clearly extraordinary. People from across the world want to be a part of eyewitness of the big occasion. It is not a match only for India –Pakistan contest. It is something to this encounter that makes is special. Where two cricketing giants fighting it out on the field is fodder for every individual crazy about the game. It is a fight for pride, for the honor of nation of the win, a rivalry that has little parallel in sport, for all that is scared in Cricket.

India –Pakistan cricket match like no other than fighting; fighting not like; what we read or hear on every day basis from the news but fighting is with Bat nd Ball and something that will included  with Clashes, Mind game Cricket Politics , formulate pressure on opponent team and  the reason behind this is the personal belongings.

People of India and as well soldiers on the duty at the border will not celebrate much if India wins or lose the game against Australia, South Africa or any other countries but while Cricket Comes with  Pakistan the celebration inevitably make more interesting. 

India has never lost to Pakistan in an ICC World T20 encounter and the atmosphere is in favor of Indian Cricket team as they recently clinched the Asia Cup T-20 Trophy and will get much support from the cricket lovers as they’re playing in their own home turf ground. 

Hoping so India-Pakistan match will not be one sided and game will be play more in entertaining way instead of any type of clashes between both team members. Finally as a cricket lover and a Citizen of India my only choice to support Indian Team and once again the time has come to India to defeat Pakistan and create another sensational winning History. 

Jai Hind !!! 

One Day is not enough for Women's Celebration

It is March 8, another new year to celebrate International Women’s day in the respect of Women/girls. The entire world is celebrating this day to not only showcase goodwill gesture towards women but to give solidarity and more empowered .Women who have more power or more resources invest in their families and their communities because they have more sense to understand  how to tackle every situations of life.

Every Person would agree and must be accept on this real fact Women/girls is world to them on the earth. They always stand to save their family members and ready to take any tough decisions at every walk of life; it may be Mother, Sisters, and wife and so on…

PM Narendra Modi, on his first speech during Independence Day was in girl’s favor that has earmarked a massive good signs across the World.  As he has launched a scheme Beti Bacho, Beti Padhao (Save the Girl Child, educate the girl child) and as well he also called on parents to teach their sons to respect women and girls, its proving that now India is started to appreciate complexity of women’s empowerment.

Since past many years there are numerous women who significantly contribute and brought social reform single handily in every sector such as politics, Sports, IT, education, acting and so on and received many prestigious awards in national and International level but still today our society never treat women as equal like men.

We Worship women as ‘Aadi Shakti’’ and on the other side we consider women as second gender. Still today many women are struggling for the basic need and their sex ratio is declining day by day? If the problem will be remaining same till longer then one day the entire world will be hopeless because women are the most beautiful creation of the god, it’s a treat to an eye to watch them respectively but not irrespectively.

As per the word by Father of Nation Mahatma Gandhi -that the women are equivalent to that of man in every walk of life and abilities whether its intellectual ability, mental ability or spirituality and hence they can do everything and can participate in every activity. 

Celebrating one day towards Women/girls is not enough and it will not gonna help much but it’s only an admiration. Some Concrete steps are needed to order to make the ideal world which only exists in the books. Now the time has come to start considering women as an equal like men in each passing day. 

Union Budget 2016 : People's Expectations

 Every budget is a creature of the context in which it is made. It assumes more importance because when the BJP led NDA govt. took over in May 2014, they announced a series of positive steps for the Common man,
It is that time of the year when everybody is hoping that NDA led Central Govt. will deliver the Promise of ''Achchhe din'' (Good news), as every sections of the civilisations has more expectations than never before from the budget. As am not an economist nor an authorised person to accept my views in the world of high finance but as a citizen have many expectations from govt. in upcoming union Budget 2016-17, which will be launch within few hours from now by Finance Minister Arun Jaitely.

The Previous union budgets saw the NDA led Central government in a bid to boost investment and economic growth, took some of the tough promises to maintain the economic growth rates. However, many of the promises that the govt. still have to deliver. While the Countdown for upcoming Union Budget 2016-17 has begun and govt. has lot more challenges to maintain the progress of economic growth. As am agree that govt. can't be fulfil everyone's expectations but announcement must be people friendly.

 India is on its way to evolving a superpower by 2020 and accordingly profile of the budget should be focus centric on India's economy growth. Overall, Budget must focus on people friendly and economic friendly such as; Start-ups, Skilled based Education. Digital India, Made in India, Taxation issues, Infrastructure, Agriculture, IT, Insurance, Job creations, Real Estate, and Security or Defence.

The Present Scenario is quite good and not good as to keep economy balance. The Falling crude oil prices are indeed good sign for the Indian economy but in other side the Agricultural growth having collapsed to less than 0.5% in the first two years due to La Nina climatic Phenomenon. This is something our country can't afford much longer because more than half of India's Population lives on Agriculture. We hope and pray that rains are normal this year and as well govt. will do some positive announcement in the favour of farmers who lost their crops due to natural calamities that will help to build up good relations between Govt. and farmers and that can help India to brace the emergency situation with a strong growth.

In Term of Budgetary allocation for Skill Based Education, we are among the lowest-which is really sad for developing country. The current demography of India, with its young Population one in every three graduates up to the age of 29 is unemployed according to a Labour Ministry report, it is an alarming sign because these are unable to become part of the growing middle class. Here major Focus on Skill based Education, not only Higher Education. India doesn't need any further higher institutions as yet; what it needs are the refurbishment of existing facilities that will helpful to create more Jobs among students.

The Budget Announcement must be more focus centric based in favour of Startups, Make in India and Digital India. As the Govt. is already given the final touches to its start-up policy but it can be more helpful to give start-ups an initial relaxation from taxes for one year. This will boost the confidence among investors. While the govt. has made successful "Make in India" its signature campaign, which should be highlighted more in every manufacturing industry. As well should have to focus on Digital India. recent threatening as we see with Kerala, JNU, Indian Forces as well as the Orissa govt. coming under cyber-attack. The government should allocate a specific amount in budget to work safe and confidentially.

India is standing out as a beacon of growth and stability in an otherwise troubled global outlook.  Rebate on Taxation should be allowed to encompass the entire tax payer class and not to be restricted to the salaried class only. The benefit of Tax rebel on Health care insurance and home loan. 

The budget should not fight shy of making sizable allocations for Infrastructure development such as ''RURBAN'' (Urban and Rural divide and infrastructure) project because it will help to make India's vibrant economy.

 Finally Hoping 2016-17 Union Budget will be good in terms of People friendly and Economy friendly.
