Global Recession

US is still fighting the Job intake , which it considers the holiest number as measure of  GDP improvement. Month to month, the number fluctuates and the stock market quickly captures it and penalizes the small investors. With an unemployment ratio of only 9% , where wages are as high as $10 per hour, it actually has no reason to crib.
For Europe, there is never a talk on Jobs, because that would show Spain as the leading defaulter with almost 50% of its qualified young workforce without a job and followed by Portugal, Greece , Italy and so on.
If the Developed and Developing world really wants the unemployment to be addressed, then the law on Minimum wages needs to be scrapped altogether. This is the major hurdle for the Industry to hire. let the market forces dictate the wages. One will see that though the average wage per hour might come down , yet the unemployment will fall drastically.

Asia , Americas and Africa don't anyway care about jobs and job creation. The over riding interest is to quickly exploit the situation and let the people struggle to survive.
The revolution in Middle East is taking a good shape, but at the end, how will it change the lives of a common man is still unclear.

For the rich, anyway it does not matter, what happens to the economy. The more the economy struggles, the better is the value of the wealth of a person.

China and India for the first time in last two decades are experiencing slow down. Syria, Libya, Egypt, Tunisia, Iraq, Bahrain are all in state of flux. Euro has taken a severe beating and Italy, Greece, Portugal, Spain etc are still to shape up. Where is all this leading ?

Global Recession is round the corner. Wait for the prices to drop and ensure that your job remains intact.

Oslo Massacre!

I posted on August 8, 2010 that Norway is the Best Country in the World to Live.

I lay the wreath with millions others on the souls of innocent lives lost for no reason.

The Bombing and the massacre by a Right Wing Fundamentalist has waken up the Norwegian society on the level of frustration that some people have with their governments and the way they redress the frustrations.

A very open society is the one which does not suppress a debate and where the parliament, the right owner of the peoples wishes then shapes the laws and limitations for an overpowering society. It then reflects the true character of a nation. Societies, where not only basic needs are guaranteed by the state , but generally are of above average quality, tend to give the highest order of merit in each of its executions. Sometimes these then tend to be the other extreme , as seen in this particular case.

The very fact that the Police could not show up at the tragedy ground despite multiple help calls, shows that the state is practically non Policed.

The Best states in the world are those, which are least Policed. Hence, I was not surprised that the Police were on a holiday and with their limited force could not really limit the damage. It is well understandable that a society, which does not see much crime or rarely needs police intervention, the security apparatus is largely minimal. Second, the situation in Oslo at the moment, when the massacre took place was one of confusion and chaos. Hence delayed arrival of Police at the crime scene could be well explained by the history and the situation.

The message to the Norwegian Government is not really improving the Policing, but debating the wants of its own people. The Police will anyway improve itself to take care of such situations in future. Who in the world likes Police Sirens disturbing the streets the whole day and night as witnessed in most metro cities.

The Media at the first stage as usual started blaming the Al Qaida Terrorist and Danish Cartoons for the event. It was so clear from the bombing that it could have never been the handiwork of Al Qaida. The bombing of the Norwegian PM office and the ministries could have been only carried out by a Disgruntled Norwegian. A right wing Christian Fundamentalist has now laid the way for Christian Qaida.

The only thing, which I could not understand was that how one single man could manage to shoot more then 70 people. But it also shows that it only takes one single person to cause enough damage to humanity. Whether it was 9/11 or 7/7 or Oslo 77.

Those who swank big armies and big security forces should learn from this that it is not the size of the army or the quality of the arms, which matters, but is the force of Over Powering Debate with unresolved answers , which create more damage. Pen is Mightier Then The Sword In The 21st Century. But if you refuse to listen to the pen, then it automatically explodes sooner or later, as now seen in the case of Norway , Libya, Egypt, Syria, Bahrain etc etc.

Interestingly, when the world came to know that the Person will at best serve 20 years and then be released , it was beyond their understanding that there are societies, where Human Rights Excel Beyond everything else. For countries like US and others, where they have capital punishment need to learn from Norway that after 20 years, a person in prison is a changed person and is no more a threat to society. Also for all those countries, who put big boards on their arrival halls of airport that carrying drugs is punishable by Death. Though are deeply embedded in corruption and human rights abuses themselves. Do they have a right to take away lives of offenders, when the governments themselves are the biggest offenders of human rights and corruption.

Murdoch Mad Masala!

Murdoch has built a global media empire. The sun never sets on the Media empires. They work 24x365 and now they are right there peeping into your bathrooms and bedrooms. The royalty to the politicians to the street vendor all have room on the silver screen of media. How, otherwise can a media business keep its customers glued to the TV or print media and now Internet.

I am a rather open person and the only place I shut myself is in the Toilet. So, for me, if media scans me byte by byte, it will still find juicer stories, but unless it makes me famous, who is bothered about poor me. I am not a salable character till some story of mine becomes a sucker on facebook or print media.

Now coming back to the Murdoch's phone tapping and the fall of the newspaper. If one is actually an open person, then usually he would believe that his words, his actions, his deeds are already compatible with the society and any case God is watching him, therefore, if media is also watching, does not really make a big difference. The phone tapping got done by the Police and the conversations were sold to the media in some cases. The Top Cop resigned and he should certainly resign. The police are always good in messing up, whether it is NY or UK or Norway or Afghanistan.

When I surf the web, within seconds, it starts returning advertisements on my search results, it then tracks me for each page I visit and each hyperlink I click etc etc. It follows me through till I log off and if somehow some virus could jump out of the screen, it would have actually made its way into my body and started flashing everything about me to the predators. So , what privacy are we talking about. None, what so ever. The modern man is connected to the internet and the internet is profiling your needs , your personality, your job, your salary, your girlfriends, your virtual sex life, your naughty affairs and all your secrets . In effect it is the " Real Me" , though well described as the " Virtual Me"

Luckily, Murdoch media is only blamed only for Phone Tapping. If a little more research was done, they would have found that it has hacked the computers of each of its subjects and lucidly fancied on the juicer details, which had commercial value.

We are now reaching a stage of Utopian world. Where everything is perfect. Thanks to the technology. No one will be able to hide nothing. No more hypocrisy, no more lies and no more cheating. Instant results will be flashed about the person on the net, Mr Poogle visited the prostitute 14 times, the best price he paid for his last prostitute was $9 for a short stint. He buys viagra online, his favorite site is Playcam, his girlfriend list is 45, well embedded in 587 facebook friends. His matching genes children can be found on Boulevard Corner and he was rated " C" in his performance appraisal by the madam. Courtesy : Pikkyleaks.

In a changed world, it is not that one has to make laws more stricter to not permit others to scan your life, but to modify your life to become nice and clean, so that it is like an open book for everyone to read. Murdoch is there everywhere around you now. How much will the people conceal themselves, there is no further scope. Till now, it was God , who was watching you. Now, everyone is watching you.

At the end, I don't really mind, if the politicians whom we trust to deliver the goods and services are regularly scanned for their conduct and job performance . No matter, what technology is used and what means are used.

Sex and the City : Strauss Kahn

What Berlusconi , Tiger Woods, Bill Clinton have different from Strauss Kahn is that they were not charged for sexual assault , but were all in the same circus.

The whole thing about sexual promiscuity needs a global debate and a new positioning. Unless, of course, we all wish to live in a fools paradise of covered up sex values.

There are good things about modern society and there are very good things about modern society. When in medieval age, women was restricted to home and family. The new age is about working women, independent and working alongside men in almost all areas of life.

Now, if one tends to believe that he is larger then the force of nature, otherwise, every area, where men and women have a common platform of interaction, there will be always forces of attraction , which brings people into physical and mental relationships outside their sphere of socially accepted family circle.

Women usually lead men and in no case a man does force jump his way onto a women, without the consent of a women. Unless you are a fool like Strauss Kahn .

In my own case of global travelling, I have experienced many a times, where the chambermaids tried wooing me for a sex stunt and it is only my own values that stop me from the adventures, but this did not mean that I rushed to the nearest court and filed a case of Rape.

I do not know the severity of assault by Strauss Kahn in his advances, but going by the global standards of sex sales, where hotels are notorious haven for out of family sex. Where sex selling is freely advertised in news papers as massage services and Internet offers sex on a click, then the moral and social and legal take of sex and sex charges have to be revisited.

Most women ask me this question, " Why is that men are not faithful to their wife ?" And I always tell them , " God has made men like this , so please ask God" When Strauss Kahn wife supports him after his misdemeanour then it is already a case, where women is ready to be with her man besides his misadventure. We saw the same case of Bill being bailed out by Hillary and hence the values and laws related to sex need a fresh debate.

Let me also assert here, that there is no such man in this world, ( Ok, there are few ) who is not longing to have sex outside his family. Blame it on the new world. Blame it on the new life. Blame it on whatever, but do come out and talk about the need for an understanding the marital position after sex outside the family, whether by men or by women.

The Fall Of Divinity of one man , one women is the price we have to pay for the modern life. Unless of course, we choose to accept that all women outside their home will wear a Burqa and men and women will be separated by arms length . So, choice is yours, to return to medieval ages and be content with women locked up in the home or a free independent women leading her way to a nice beautiful world and suitably aligning herself to the changing moral values. What was morally corrupt till yesterday is morally fit today.

And what happens on the Judgement Day ? Well with the whole world aligned into one value, then either God has to sent all and one to Heaven or all to Hell. Whichever way, United We Stand.

Khushwant Singh , a leading Indian journalist recently was asked at the age 90. " What did he regret most ?" And he replied that ," He did not sleep with enough women. he wished , he could have slept with more " Oh Lord, Give us this Day , our daily......................... And there be Heaven on Earth..........Amen.

Global Government Reforms : Taxation N Policing

The two arms of any Government which are most abused in any country of the world are : Police and Revenue Department.

Both are extremely important to run the Government, which provides services in a lawful environment. But in both the cases, the Person executing the powers vested onto them slips into a maglomaniac personality , believing that he is now the Gift of God to mankind. Since the systems do not provide for checks and balances , where the society at large controls the bureaucrats ( and not the politicians ) , the bureaucrats tend to get away with wrongs.

Study the case of any government in the world and you will find the biggest litigator is the Government itself. Fighting almost all its own citizens either on Tax or land disputes or politically motivated charges or simple vendetta.

In Third World, the most corrupt are the Revenue Department and the Police. The revenue department rather then looking at tax payers as the customers who are financing the budget of the government treats them like defaulters. The tax laws itself are made so complicated, that it goes through series of expert interpretations, before any sense can be made out of it.

Taxation does not need tons and tons of books and volumes of interpretations. Tax on sales is already big enough . Income tax, service tax , etc etc are all unnecessary intrusion into the personal lives of people. No person wants that any other person should know and least the Government should know the income made by him.

Again look around you and almost everything that you buy , sell, use is taxed and taxed multiple times. And if this was not enough, then the little earning out of your hard work is again taxed. The tax goes into finance the government employees and all its social projects. The Military which is supported by the tax of its own people, then goes onto attack its own people as now being seen in Syria , Libya, etc. In many African countries and Third world countries, these armies routinely plunder their own people. Should there not be a law which prohibits army firing its own people and if so the army chief facing ICC.

When it comes to Policing, it is still more interesting. An Institution , which was build to keep law and order in the society has now become the most feared institution. Ask a child, what he thinks of a policeman and he would comment him as the monster. It is also the institution, which no one in the Third world Trust. In Indonesia, they have saying, " If you go to report to the police the loss of your two chickens, you will end up loosing your goat". But this is true for most third world countries.

However, having said that , it does not mean that there are no good Revenue Officers or Good Police Officers. In fact a lot of people still fear God and don't want to indulge in obstructive activities , however, get carried away by the system. And that is why , whatever sense is still there in these department still prevails.

In both cases, the next level of redressal is "Judiciary" . The situation being such that in most Islamic nation, one would rather trust the Sharia Law to be a quick and fair system of Judiciary. For the non Islamic countries, the laws are drawn from the 15th and 16th century and most of the laws are such , where the Colonial powers made to rule over their subjects and are still carried down.

It is about time, when Governments have an introspection and review both the Revenue collection systems and Policing. The Revenue department should stop this business of continued notices for payment collection on account of misinterpretation of laws and work on collecting payments on sales of goods and services.

The Policing, altogether needs an overhaul. Police for Criminals and police for general law and order cannot be the same. General policing has to be the extended hand of Government, which is helping the public. At the outset, it should have a Uniform change. Because the current uniform whatsoever only brings a stereotyped personality of the user. A rather long subject and I will write more about it later.

Stop Viscose, Save Forest : UN Year of Forest- 2011

In the UN Year of Forest- 2011. My contribution as a Textile Expert would be to create awareness amongst the people against Viscose and its Forest Exploitation.

For all those , who are not aware, Viscose is made out of Wood Pulp and hence eats away our forest.

The current global capacity of viscose production is 2.5 million tonnes per year.

1 kg of Viscose = 4 kgs of Tree Wood

2.5 million tonnes of Viscose = 10 Million Kgs of Tree Wood

1 Tree of 20 years age = 500 kgs of Tree Wood

Viscose Deforestation per year = 20 Million Trees

Think of the environment before you buy a Viscose or Viscose Blended Fabric or Garment or any viscose substrate product.

Pls start a campaign writing under your emails, one of the options.

STOP VISCOSE , SAVE FOREST : UN YEAR OF FOREST -2011

Think of the environment, before using Viscose Fibres, yarns, Fabrics, Garments.

Viscose :Non Sustainable Forestry.

Osama Bin Laden - Al Qaeda Obituary !

When Hitler finally got killed/ got himself killed , it was an end of an era of Second World war. Co-incidentally OBL was also killed on the same date viz May 1, 2011.

OBL was a fool of the first order. If only he would have used his ideology to attack the corrupt monsters of Middle East and glorified himself in the name of Islam, perhaps, he would have become a hero of all times. But instead he went in to attack innocent citizens in the name of attack on US and other countries.

The final reprisal was not the death of some 3000 innocents in WTC, but more then a million who finally had to pay a price in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and many more countries. He successfully created a rift between Muslims and the rest of the world. More and more Muslims found themselves struggling to tell the world that they were as good or as bad as others, however, trust is like a broken glass. A prize was now being paid by whole generation of people who had nothing to do with OBL, but because of sharing the same faith had got marginalized.

Interestingly, the Moslem's in middle east have now shown to the world that for them OBL was never an ideology or an entity . Because , Egypt , Tunisia and now Libya, Syria ( In the Making ) did not go the Muslim Brotherhood way to form a theocratic state as in Iran. Also, the people in these countries have shown extreme courage by standing against corruption, bureaucracy, autocracy , unemployment , illiteracy and poverty.

The Awakening of Middle East has taken away largely the " Islamophobia" and pushed Al Qaeda into a marginalized force, which actually was responsible to bring shame to so many rich traditions of Islam.

The end of OBL would mean largely the end of Al Qaeda. While some block headed will still go and commit suicide bombings , however, I would still reckon that it is only a matter of time where the remnant leadership is also trapped and killed.

For those who keep shouting that Al Qaeda is an ideology , then this ideology of idiots and killers will have no subscribers , other then petty gangsters posing as monsters.

OBL and all his associates would have been killed right after US bombing of Afghanistan, if only the Americans had shown the courage to take over the borders of Pakistan and would have then attacked Waziristan and other such notorious areas. Knowing well that most militants crossed over to Pakistan from Tora Bora mountains, yet the US did not take any actions. This is why , I always say, Americans are very fast in running into a war, but don't know, how to win a war.

As for Pakistan, it just cannot complain to be the victim of terrorism, in fact it has been the very host of these terrorist and an open training centre for them. Every single terrorist so far caught has its Graduate Degree from Pakistan and if there is one without the Pak degree, then he is not considered Harvard Qualified . If Pak. allows terrorist to enjoy the hospitality , then for sure the terrorist rules will apply and not the civilian rules.

But that also does not mean that Pakis support terrorism, infact most of them are dead against these jokers. It is only the ISI and some elements of the establishment and the weakness of the Government that such jokers have found a safe sanctuary.

Even now, Pak Government should call the Army chief and ask him to wage a war in Waziristan and take help of the Americans and clean up all other similar pockets and start afresh with new slate.

Well, again the winner coincidentally is " George Bush" , though the Nobel prize still goes to Obama. Not that I am one bit fan of George Bush, but cannot stop giving his rightful honor for bringing whatever sense into Afghanistan. Though after the Iraq and Afghanistan experience, I have felt that a state after being run by Dictators needs a cooling period before it migrates to Democracy. Democracy is like a new found freedom after years of bondage and most people don't make sense of it and the bureaucracy immediately takes over the roll of dictators and the state slips into another mess of corruption.

What was most remarkable, the way the operation was carried out. I hope some day soon a movie will be made on it. Well Done US Navy Seals . The world salutes you.

Prostate Buster

Only some time back I had written about the laziness in the Medical Profession and they have replied with vengeance.

A doctor in Singapore, has not designed a new machine, which will go and burst the prostate enlargement / cancer within minutes and without pain, by simple heat.

This is something unique and extraordinary.

Almost all men after 45 experience prostrate enlargement as testosterone levels drop. The real reason for enlargement is still not know. Some men also move to cancerous situation. Though prostate cancer if trapped at early stages is controllable, yet is not a preferred situation.

There is also a new test, which predicts the chance of prostate cancer late in life and hence the precautions.

The only thing, which still intrigues me about the way the new innovations are presented to the world. The Doctor after presenting the new equipment, then comes up and says, may be it would taken another 2 to 3 years before it can be introduced, though the test over years have been already done over 20 to 25 patients. May be statistically insignificant, yet it is an option, which should be offered instantly to a patient, willing to take the extra risk.

Every other technology becomes commercialized within 6 months, but with medicine it takes a decade, before it finds its way for possible health benefits.

Anyway, good medical professionals, something is getting done.

Middle East War : And the Winner is "George Bush".

The whole world, UN, Arab League and the man on my street here is now screaming that US and NATO forces should do the needful in Middle East. They want each of these dictators to be booted out and a New Democratic Order put in place. And perhaps, I am the only one saying that now this booting will never be required again. George Bush has set the example . If dictators don't step aside and take this opportunity to slip into some heavenly resort in oblivion , then they risk getting hanged and be ashamed in history books. Egypt and Tunisia dictators were smart and they understood well and will enjoy the balance of their lives. However, for all the others, it is about time they take a clue or take a blue.

Unfortunately, the media does not boldly transfer this message across the continent. It is only reflecting the things as they happen. Nor does global leadership come and announce, beware, it was only US last time in Iraq, but now the whole world is supporting the ouster of dictators.

In retrospect, the world is accepting that , what George Bush did in removing Saddam Hussein was the good and right way of removing a dictator and bringing Democracy to a nation. I was perhaps the only person who kept screaming that though Bush reasoning of attacking Iraq on WMD is wrong , yet Saddam needs to be booted out. And Dictators like Saddam do not leave without a war. Hence, the last option has to be exercised. No one ever supported my argument.

It is another matter that after collapse of Saddam Bath party, the most unusual thing took over the country. Atleast for me , I never had known that there was such a strong sectarian divide between he local population and Iran and Syria would immediately try to exercise influence and bring its sect into leadership. But, then that was me. I did not expect the American army to not know about this. The transition to democracy became a nightmare guerrilla war between two sects and the US army.

Here too , I would say, US army is just too naive. We have seen this in Iraq and we have seen this in Afghanistan and before that in Vietnam and in Korea . They know, how to enter a war very fast. But they don't know, how to Win A War.

I once told a visiting American Diplomat, that your army chief in Afghanistan comes on TV and then announces that we are sorry for the civilians life , while shooting Taliban's in remote areas. He should stand up and say, Mr Hamid Karzai, I would request you to kindly ensure that the civilian population does not mix up with the Talibans otherwise, our air strikes still do not have such high technology ,where it can sense, the target as Taliban or Civilians. We will guarantee that our targets will be always hit and if civilians choose to cover Taliban's, then our bombs will not distinguish them.

Iraq was still more blunderous. At the height of insurgency, US was only trying to tame the insurgency and was trying to bring in some kind of order. A totally wrong strategy, which resulted into 8 years of continuous killings and then formation of a government, which could easily be seen sliding towards Iran and Syria. Much against the wishes of US.

But, who is to blame again ? US ofcourse . If only George Bush was a leader like Winston Churchill, he would have gone and told Iraq, I will give you 6 months to behave yourself and stop all these insurgent activities and cooperate to form a government, otherwise, I would divide Iraq into four quarter, one for Kurds, One for Shias , One for Sunni and the Oil Rich for The Americans .

All the divisions would have finished amongst all the sects and each of them would have mutually respected other sect to ensure that Americans don't get away with the Oil and don't divide their country. However, Bush was nowhere comparable to Churchill . Brits had divided Iraq into Iraq and Kuwait. Infact the whole Ottoman empire collapse was overseen by the Brits and they were the ones who drew lines on maps for territorial divisions. Which the Palestinians are fighting it out till today.

Bush finally got booted by one of the journalist in Baghdad . And the whole world laughed it out. For me it was the day of Ultimate Victory of Democracy in Iraq. If Bush was sensible , he should have got the boot er onto the stage and told the global audience. Today, a journalist in Iraq can stand up and throw a shoe onto me as guest of of Iraq President. If only this was done at the time of Saddam, he would have been thrown to the Piranhas and his bones would have been kept for viewing in State Museum. Therefore , for him, with all the evils of the war, yet the human rights of people and a fearless future for this journalist is still a gift from Bush.

The Media had a ball of a time during the Iraq War. Bush Beating was the subject and perhaps, till his last day in office, he was considered a bigger Monster then Nixon.

However, look at the Irony of fate, the situation in Middle East has galvanized into a state, where the whole world is begging practically for US and NATO to do the Bush .

Most interestingly, much of it will not be required as none of the dictators will forget the fate of Saddam or Milosevic and now of Charles Taylor. It only needs a small warning and repeated showing of clips of hanging of Saddam on international TV . And also show, how Egypt and Tunisia ex Prez are enjoying their lives . Rest will happen automatically.

Libya currently is being debated for arming the rebels. This would be a disaster. Only simple convincing of Gaddaffi and an exit route is enough. His loyalist should be then allowed to from a political party and contest an election. It is as easy as that. If he refuses to move, serve him an International Criminal Court order for attacking his own people and then move the international force quickly in the name of arresting him. All would be over within 5 days. Also becomes lessons for all the nearby countries.

So, the next big question, what happens, if it shows the Iraq effect of civilian divide and insurgency and terrorism. The answer is simple, get the place secured by an Arab Army like Egypt and let the western armies only remain on border control . The major failure of Americans in Iraq was open Syrian and Iran borders. This made easier for foreign fighters to move into the conflict zone. And still if it breaks into insurgency , then that is fate accompli. Atleast, the world was not seen wanting , when people were crying for help.

Yemen is automatically sliding, Bahrain and all other Kingdoms will have to sit and plan a Monarchy Honorarium like UK etc , Syria is in the most difficult situation. Others waiting to happen are Algeria, Iran, Myanmar etc. We will talk about them as things evolve.

Meantime, Obama should announce a date for sharing his peace price with Bush.
