Copenhagen climate change talks failed, but this is no surprise. it was destined to fail.
First, UN did not do its homework right , second to expect 192 countries to accept something in unison is fools paradise. In a family of 4, it is almost impossible to accept common targets, so, for 192 countries with different vested interest to accept one common goal is dreamlike.
Sometimes, this over enthusiasm of getting the whole world in one place and accepting one single point is like taking One Size Fits All. So, the basic notion itself is wrong. What is good for US is not the best for Brazil and what is good for China is not the best for Sweden. So, why keep pushing all of them to have one size.
Secondly, the answer to this problem is not about individual countries accepting the Temperature rise of 2 deg or 5 deg. But accepting that there are certain industries which are responsible for such a climate change and these industries have to be technologically upgraded to cut the carbon emissions. This needs technology and research. So practically, the forum should short list all such industries, which have carbon emission problems and then take it from there.
Rather, then asking US to cut so much and China to cut so much and smaller countries looking for money from the richer countries in the name of climate change.
The disbursement of payments to any country would be Total Write Off. In the last 60 years , we have already seen that all such payments have finally landed into the pockets of corrupt Politicians and bureaucrats and more of them are now awaiting this God Sent Climate Opportunity.
Next, rather then Carbon Trading, which is again one extremely complicated model of trading thin air , the way forward should be actually Carbon Tax. So all the giant polluting industries will automatically collapse against cleaner technologies.
Obama was very smart to have worked out a deal with one set of countries and made a Text and walked away. At least it is still face saving grace for UN picnic party at Copenhagen. Now the party continues in Mexico next year. Till then most people in the world do not know, what is the meaning of 2deg cut in temperature and the polluting industries will still flourish and the sufferers will be you and me and our children and grand children.
Why did not one World leader get up in this conference and say that for his country, he is stopping the Plastic Bottled Water. Stopping the plastic bags at supermarkets, etc etc. This would have laid the way for other countries to follow. The biggest polluter today is plastics and the carbon emissions in making of the plastics.
There are very small changes required for getting the climate back to normal. However, first, we as individuals should take the first step. I don't buy anymore Plastic Bottled Water. I don't allow supermarkets to pack my grocery in plastic bags. I prefer to peddle my bike to office. Though I own the company. I would take a subway train or local mass transport then take a taxi for work.
Anyway, One Size Fits all will never work out. The basics of Climate Change document itself is wrong. Does not address Technology, does not address Industries causing these problems, does not address the major Individual contributions required., does not address that each day there are some xxxxx new cars are made and sold and there is neither room to run these cars, nor the fuel , nor the space in environment to accept the emissions .Yet no one gets up and says, let us limit the licensing of cars per year or put up huge taxes on cars.
Kopenhagen is a beautiful city, and specially the city square. Denmark also has one of the best environments in the world. Attest the world leaders would have got to see, what it means to have a beautiful environment. I traveled in 1998 with one environmental engineer deep into the country side and explored a few water streams and river . Samples were drawn from these places and checked and what was shocking to see that the purity of the water far better then the normal range.
Danish voluntarily accepted to give away Iceland. Where as most other countries keep fighting for territories, which historically would have not been their part.

Air Asia
Air Travel at one time was novelty. Few would have this luxury to fly and be proud of the flight. How times change and now Air Travel is like taking a Bus, only thing flying Bus and rightly one of the maker calls it AirBus. Now air travel is like a poultry farm in the air, where chickens are stuffed forcefully into the plane and the plane made to fly. More apt would be chickbus.
Air Travel means getting locked with your seat belt on a 2 x 2 ft seat and very restricted foot space. And if on a Transcontinental flight, then the flight is a punishment.
Flight Catering is still worse . A small plate with two spoons of rice, one spoon of one vegetable and one spoon of another vegetable . All of which tastes like rotten egg. And to serve this little food, a full Tamasha ( Show ) is carried out. Well, I gave up eating in the flight some 15 years ago and I would rather carry my own food, if on a long flight. And for short flight, skip the two spoons meal.
Last month, I was travelling to Hong Kong from Singapore by Cathy Pacific and there was a Sardar Ji from India who was sitting in front of my seat. Incidentally all airlines now days employ Indian and local flight attendants, so she served him the Indian Food. Now a two spoons food is not going to be enough for Sardar Ji and he called the girl again and asked for more. The girl said, she would get back and then every 15 mins ,the man called for his food and till the landing of the flight, he was not served his extra request. Simple, because airlines carry limited food supplies and no one can get the extra on request. This is the quality of Airlines.
Anyway, the main post is about Air Asia. This little Budget Airline has impressed me a lot. For those who have not flown Air Asia recently, then they would be impressed to see the new planes and the interiors and the cleanliness. However, most striking is that within minutes of the plane landing, it takes its passengers and on landing, within minutes downloads the pax and the bags.
Air Asia offers prices usually which are one third of most commercial airlines and hence automatically gets its seat full faster then all the other airlines. Secondly, it is online booking , so there is no catch anywhere. Other airlines, it is a good possibility that the next guy seat travelling with you has paid one half of what you have paid. Usually Travel Agent loot.
What is most interesting about Air Asia food is that they have a menu and you can pick up the food you like and order in advance. This is very unique, because now you have the option of taking what you like most , then being on the mercy of the airline to serve you , what you hate most.
Further, if you are a good eater as our Sardar Ji in the last paragraph, then you order two of it.
Airplanes are made by Boeing or Airbus and after that is all about punctuality, safety, promptness and presentation. How does it matter, it is a Budget Airline or dirty old PSU airlines with their aging staff.. One of my client always tells me, why should I fly business class, when the economy class also goes to the same destination. ( Winks )
Overall the Business Model of these young men, who started Air Asia is such a slap on the face of all Giant Public Sector Airlines.
We have seen the big losses of AlItalia, Japan Airlines, Swiss Airlines, Air India, British Airways ,. Who post Multimillion Dollar losses against Air Asia, which works on one third the prices of the conventional airlines and only on account of its smart thinking makes a huge profit.
Will the Governments ever learn, how business is done. How long will we tax payers keep bailing out public sector. How long will these silly Airlines serve the lousiest food and delayed flights and overprices tickets and what not keep sucking us.
Great Job Air Asia. Lots to learn from you.

Norway - Best Country to Live
Out of the 45 odd countries, I would have travailed in my life , the question usually asked to me was, which was the best country to live?
In terms of Beauty, culture, food , architecture, etc I think almost all countries have their unique place, but when it comes to quality of life relative to the current living of a person, then the choice would get reduced to very few countries in the world.
For me ,the most beautiful country with a very special quality of life comes from " Norway". A small Scandinavian country , however, extremely beautiful and magical with its environment. The Norwegians themselves are also very unique people. The class that sets them apart is their philosophy towards life. The whole thing is like a Spiritual Development of the soul of a person as against the material layout of the society. The beauty is in its simplicity.
The Norwegians like all Scandinavians are locked into bottle, however, there is still the highest order of Honesty which mankind can experience.
The only problem is the very very high cost of Living. Almost astronomical cost and very high tax rates. This makes impossible for any potential immigrant to settle easily in the country.

Optimum - The Child Development Code
" Optimum"
A very simple word , but the least understood.
Modern Schooling or for that matter schooling from time immemorial has largely focused on development of a child, fit enough to survive the jungle rules of a modern society. So inherently weak human beings, learn to control greed, anger, passion, jealousy, filth, hostility, corruption, lies, etc etc and also learn some marketable skills, which would keep them afloat in the society in general.
What Schooling never teaches a child is the concept of " Optimum ". Which is the very fine balance between less and less and more and more. The net result is a personality defect , which then lingers on for the rest of life.
Each one of us has this personality defect, where we do not know our cut off point on most issues. We follow blindly either, what the society does in general or instinctively what is exciting for our nerves. And the net result is unbalanced broken personality, which is good in some areas, but worst in many areas.
It is because , we have not learnt early on in life, that " Time " needs to be optimized, we tend to squander this vital resource on working extremely hard in life, but with very little output. More and more people I meet in life and I find that each of them complains of lack of Time. And the answer is lack of Optimization. I find people generally working for 12 hours each day.
So, if you start your day at 6 in the morning and by 8, you are driving to your office and return home by 8 pm. Then the time which you give your family is from 8 pm to 10 pm and invariably you are so tired that you would hardly bother to know, what is family all about.
Now, if you would have learnt the concept of Optimization early on in life, you would leave the office at 5 pm sharp and be home by 5.40 and spent the full evening with your family. You would have spent time on movies, theatre, books, neighbours, restaurants, games, etc etc. But unfortunately, it is the Rat Race, which keeps people bound to their desk.
If only a child was taught early on in life that Time was a vital resource and one had to optimize time for games, for studies, for learning, for eating etc and within the activity, again there was an optimum limit for each action, the child would have early on learnt the allocation of each resource to an optimum level.
Some children are born smart and some take time to develop, but this is genetic, so forcing kids to work harder then what is required rarely pays off. In fact , it always turns the child against the parents. But making a child realize that setting optimum goals early on in life helps build a beautiful future.
But first of all, the Teacher himself should know, what is " Optimum"

General Motors - Zombie Car
GM will now be run by the Government.
Governments nowhere in the worlds have run Industry successfully. If Govt, then the enterprise is meant to be sucked . For the simple reason, because there are no owners of the organization. The share holder is the public and public in Virtual mode .
Governments all over the world only know stamping and signing papers and creating obstructions in the name of controls and if it is a Third world country, then using the obstruction to extort money form the public.
Function of Government to have a functional public serving community is still a theoretical concept.
As the technology moves further, finally someday, it would be Technology in its auto mode, which will be serving the people and Governments will be only caretakers of Technology. This Utopian day is not so far.
Meantime, GM will be Zombie car and all GM owners will be teased for owning a zombie car. Pity the tax payers of USA for still further draining of their money into the Zombie car.

US Afghan War
US Afghan war now about to enter the 8th year. In fact, one has to say, the war is being fought by NATO and not just US.
NATO is interestingly an alliance of 28 strong countries, which includes US, UK, Germany, Norway, Greece, Denmark, Turkey and the Eastern Block most countries .
Given the expertise of some of the most powerful armies in the world with the best artillery, fighter jets, espionage etc etc, the war in Afghanistan should have been over in 15 days. However, it is now going to be 8 years and let us read further what the Generals keep saying.
Every time you switch the TV on Afghan war news and one of the NATO generals will say, that NATO is loosing out the war in some places and is under control in some places.
NATO a powerful army of 28 nations with the most modern equipments and Taliban a Rag Tag Army .
NATO on Fighter Jets and Tanks and what not and Talibans riding the donkeys.
NATO has the technology to keep the whole country under surveillance and Taliban still managing to find routes for food, arms supplies and more.
NATO would have killed more civilians in the course of last 8 years, then the Talibans, despite the many cautionary notes given to the armies . Talibans anyway kill only civilians.
Is there any rational mind in this world, who can believe that the armies of 28 countries fighting a rag tag donkey riding Taliban and still announcing that they have been loosing out to the Talibans.
Well, if this is the case, then God alone can save most of these allied force countries, as a simple guerrilla organization can take over the full country in no time and none of them will ever be able to clean up the same.
For Countries like Afghanistan, you don't need a War Machine and a Trained Army for the clean up, all you need is to go to the African war torn countries and recruit the guerrilla warriors and ask them to do the clean up job for you. Within 6 months, the country is fully cleaned up and the Guerrilla's will put their new flag and call it Af-Ghana.
Much simpler then all the energies being drained by so many Presidents of the world in controlling Talibans.
It is sometimes the most simplest solutions , which are never thought about and used.
So many lives lost and so much annihilation and so many years and yet no sign of peace.
One thing is certain the Chief of NATO and Chief of US operations in Afghanistan surely need to be sacked for such a poor job performance.

Air France Jet Crash
First my sympathies with the Loss of the loved ones on this flight.
The mysterious accident is a puzzle, which someday National Geographic will show on its channel.
Many speculations so far. But let us wait till the debris is collected and some semblance of order is restored on the accident.
What sometimes puzzles me is the way, the accidents are either reported or addressed. The Air France plane disappeared after a certain time from the radar, so we know the time points and we know the speed of the aircraft and we know the path taken by the flight. So, what was so mysterious in locating the plane. Plus or Minus some miles and you cannot miss the plane.
And it took 2 days for the authorities to find out . And here I was making my Psyche work and announced that the plane debris would be around 467 kms from the Brazil shore. Hmmmmmm and I am wrong so far, it has been found 650 kms away. However, I should have done the maths myself and no need for a Psyche work.
However, sudden air accidents on account of storm or lightening is not really digestible by me. There is something more then that. I have had more then 1000 flights in my life and I know well, what happens in case of bad weather.
The only possible reason, which would come to my mind is that the fuel tank suddenly burst because of some short circuit , but not because of lightening, however, on account of some other failure and the plane went crashing. Otherwise, no matter how harsh the storm, the pilot always has time to manoeuvre and also sent distress signals.
The fuel tank burst would have ,most likely come out of air conditioning fault. Normal cause of over loading.
Let us wait and see, what the final reports are all about.

General Motors. Du Pont, Citi Bank, etc
GM bankruptcy was predicted by me long back and from the first time Bush Doled out the first billion dollars package and then came the next tranche from Obama and now GM becomes the nationalized company with 60% Government owned .
If I was to just do a simple maths and work out the Dollars that were doled out to the GM to save the company. It would well have worked giving the Employees that much sum for Job Loss Compensation and people would have made hundreds of other small profitable businesses then saving a Junk Old company which anyway should have sunk under its own weight.
This reminds me of the film made by an American Documentary producer, who filmed the very first GM plant that was shut and moved to Mexico ( by the joker Robert Smitch, then MD ) and the plight of the people there. I guess the curse of people was so strong that today GM will be a History chapter.
No surprise for me , when such Mega Giant companies fail. The management structure of these companies is so inherently defective that most of the time, there is a war between the management functions itself. Finance against marketing against manufacturing against logistics etc etc. As for the Customer is concerned, he is the Top on the Holy Cow on all the slogans , but factually is only a Milking Cow. Suck it dry and leave it bones only.
Not that Toyoda cars were any great, but Toyoda is a far more disciplined organization. The cars have reliability built in it. Never will a car stop in the middle of nowhere for a component failure , nor is it a fuel guzzler , nor beast looking.
Well, GM fall is a very very long subject. But coming back, companies of this size are sure to sink, whether it is Enron or GM or DuPont or CitiBank.
I sent a mail to DuPont for a sample of Fluropolymer for my next product and now is more then a month, but the sales guy has not reverted, this is despite several reminders.
No wonder, DuPont Exited all the Textile fibre business, but it is not so far from being another GM.
CitiBank is still worse. The bank believes that it is bigger then its customers. Nothing can stop its collapse. Just watch for more time.

Guantanamo Bay
Guantanamo Bay : President Obama ordered its closure and hence the story of Guantanamo will soon be history. Why the Americans had to have an island of Non Judicial custody is not very clear. But whatever ,it created a black spot on its own very American Freedom Values and the statue of Liberty, with which the US is so famously known.
The GB will close down, but I found it very hilarious, when every country openly criticized the GB. I want to ask each and every at least Third World country, if they don't have a GB embedded in their own Prisons.
Let Amnesty International present a report on how many inmates in each country are without trial and for how many years.
Will now after the action of President Obama, each and every country allow a free access to Human Rights group to the prisons and check on how many more GB need to be shut down.
I am sure, interesting results will come out. while GB would have around 500 inmates in its peak, the rest each country will show a result far far higher then this number and third world the inmates could be unimaginable.
Hope, someday one and all GB are shut.

Interrogation Torture fails
Finally the Americans have confirmed that the Torture techniques do not support Interrogation . Whether it was Guantanamo Bay or it was Iraq prison or anywhere else in the world.
'
I love the Americans for at least one thing , which is utmost Honesty. If they err, they accept the mistakes and learn from it. Rest of the world keeps arguing and never accepts its mistakes. Nations consider utmost pride in defending their wrong actions.
I love USA.
Americans have confirmed that it was finally empathy which helps in extorting information and not shafting. I hope the rest of the world is learning out of this experience.
Interrogation is not an easy job, however, connecting to the person obviously helps in breaking him out.
Hopefully, US will further learn that it would be EMPATHY WITH NATIONS also which helps in bridging the distrust like the one now with North Korea and Iran.
Keep the Flag Flying High US.

I love the Americans for at least one thing , which is utmost Honesty. If they err, they accept the mistakes and learn from it. Rest of the world keeps arguing and never accepts its mistakes. Nations consider utmost pride in defending their wrong actions.
I love USA.
Americans have confirmed that it was finally empathy which helps in extorting information and not shafting. I hope the rest of the world is learning out of this experience.
Interrogation is not an easy job, however, connecting to the person obviously helps in breaking him out.
Hopefully, US will further learn that it would be EMPATHY WITH NATIONS also which helps in bridging the distrust like the one now with North Korea and Iran.
Keep the Flag Flying High US.
