Gods getting richer day by day:

Name any temple any where in the country, it is getting richer every day. The talk is not about Balaji, Sanyee Baba temple or several others alone, getting richer holds good for all and sundry, big or small, run by trusts or individuals. The much disputed Ramlala Mandir in Ayodhya has no reason to lag behind. There are disputes after disputes confronting the temple both in different courts and outside but money wise their position has much of a growing graph. They have more than 3 crores of rupees in their fixed deposits with State Bank of India and the periodical interest alone amounts to more than 27 lakhs of rupees. Vibekanand on his visit abroad gave a call that temples, mosques, and churches should not waste their money on themselves, they should better spend it to feed the poor. There could be several Vibekanands to release such a call, but the fact remains that the temples are earning sumptuous wealth for themselves and the poors are where they were several decades back.

Alluring messages–Isn’t it better to ignore them?

Howsoever best I try to keep my email counter neat and tidy in respect of its size and look, it goes clumsy very often with a flood of messages, most of them being spam. My google email platform takes care to filter the mail, like others too do, shifting the spam messages aside to a folder called as ‘spam’, but it can not be taken just as quite fool proof as they very often treat the genuine messages also as a spam with the result that quite from time to time I have to monitor the whole mail system in my own way to ensure that the relevant messages don’t go unnoticed. Despite such filtering, there are lot many messages conveying me the senders magnanimity to  make me rich overnight. I ignore such mails but at times I feel quite surprised when I get a confirmation sort of message purported to have been sent as from Reserve Bank of India. That too I ignore but it is with the reservation as if I am discarding a genuine message. After all this is an anxiety full of an on going interest.

Reservations–Can sky be the limit?

Reservation in promotions was the issue on which the Parliament of the country was in a total pandemonium continuously for days together. Reservations for whom? Is it not for the people who have already enjoyed its fruits for the last sixty years, many of whom have become high income islanders by now with sumptuously rich pockets of wealth amongst their family members? Reservation on jobs is already there continuing for more than six decades extending the benefit to backward communities including S/Cs and S/Ts. As if this is not enough, and there is a demand that reservation of the type like this be extended in the matters of promotional opportunities. Proposal so mooted out by Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati in the Parliament got endorsed by Bhartiya Janta Party with the condition that efficiency aspect be given the due weightage. What does it actually mean? Efficiency is not just the physical efficiency meant for an acrobatics or a wrestling bout, it is more a matter of mental capacity which forms the merit element. Let there be some reservation on merit itself if it is within the reach of the political biggies. Merit is a divine factor, it just can’t be procured through some legislation or enactment. Compromising merit means compromising developmental activities. Developmental activities, if compromised, lead to a situation where the country goes to dogs, and entire progress is doomed. The clamour and any hue and cry for further reservation is bound to create an irreparable gulf amongst the different communities which are innumerable in India. Such a cry is completely outmoded in the context of unity and unanimity on various issues confronting the country. Any reservation beyond what is already there is most unwanted. Right of equality in fact demands that even the existing one also be reviewed applying all the benefits equitably to all the communities in the country.

The poor and the destitute–How do they celebrate their festivals?

Festivals are festivals for every body –be they the poor, the destitute or the rich ones. Rich ones obviously can well afford celebrating their festivals in a lavish measure and sumptuously. On the other hand, those who are poor just can’t afford doing so because of their limited means or no means at all, particularly in the atmosphere of currently soaring prices in the markets. They too hanker for buying several things like clothes for the family, utensils on dhan teras, diwali and bhaiyya dweej, toys, patakhas and sweets for the children, but on all these items they have only to take a deep sigh, or frugally manage certain limited items by resorting to some borrowings from their friends and relations, a too embarrassing a task for any one. It was Diwali yesterday and Chhoti Diwali a day before, and what an amount of embarrassment they might have undergone amongst the members of their families and relatives on both these occasions, is a plight, one can easily understand. I only wish that some day the gulf of disparity between the rich and the poor gets mitigated at least to some extent extending the poor and the destitute some relief and solace.

Richest man of the world

Picasa Web Albums - neelkanth


With an humble beginning it was Dhirubhai Ambani who started his business. Possibly none could have imagined that time that his son Mukesh Ambani will some day become the world's richest man.Family disputes at one stage appeared to be a great menace to Ambanees stature and growth but soon it was taken care of for which credit goes much to his mother Kokila ben who worked in a positive direction by advising both her sons -Mukesh and Anil to behave themselves confining their activities to compete in business but without disturbing the family equations.Mukesh, now the richest man of the world, has brought not only a most glorified status to the family but much more than that laurels to the country as a whole.
