Glorifying the goons ?

Discarded and disdained, the goons in the society were treated with contempt in the past howsoever big they were as Dons. Now that situation in all fronts including cultural level has undergone a tremendous change, the dons too have acquired a status and they are no more looked upon with a contemptuous gaze. Only the other day, I was watching a TV channel where the news reader was putting up the life sketch of a don in quite a magnified way as if he was a great celebrity. It was Dawood Ibrahim being offerred all praise with emphasis as to how he grew to his present status starting from a grassroot level in Mumbai. His personality, his living style, his rapport with all kinds of people and above all the way he dressed himself to look great using an apparel each time costing around 50 lacs of Indian rupees on an overage and that a dress he used once was never to be used again. Costly jewels and the watch he wore was focussed so much. Does a killer, a top ranking terrorist of the world, a kidnapper of worst order and black marketeer deserve such a praise and highlight is the question. He is a role model for the low level goons operating in streets who have their own style of imitating the monster and that helps them in grabbing money from middle level businessmen and ordinary people. Any place, any street, any location, one can find them in plenty every where making the life of common people so miserable. Who is to stop them? Possibly none is there. Media is the channel supposed to highlight the criminal activities so going on every where but they too have not failed miserably on that count, they are contributing a lot instead in glorifying such elements. Many in administration are closely associated with these anti social elements with the result that they always go scotch free in the even they are caught, caught many a times just as a ritual, as so long they are there in police custody they are given a VIP treatment during the time they are taken into custody or even jailed temporarily. This is so unfortunate not only for this country but for the world as a whole. Possibly we are heading towards a level in society where only rascalism and terrorism has to prevail.

Domain Registration

Not having a domain or certain number of domains while operating a computer is like wandering in a desert without a camel to reach the destination. Similar is the situation in the case of those who operate computers as a matter of their routine but tools wise lack necessary modus operandi to fully relish the operation. The requisite feature for computer operators is a domain of their own, a good domain rich in user friendly features like compacted combination of different utility oriented site and sub sites allowing the users an instant access to their choice areas. From free to paid, domains of all kinds can be, and are, acquirable by the computer operators through different providers of the web device but what counts most is the substance with which the domain is loaded. If the chosen domain is just a bald one offering a format of inadequacies, it is incapable of satisfying the consumer both use wise and taste wise. An ideal domain from user point of view is the one that is both economical and rich in ingredients of utility like http://www.paylessdomains.com.au/ which quite powerfully provides a package so far as the utility tools are concerned besides being economical, cost friendly with special discounts too. In a way what this site provides is economy, unhindered usage, relaxed rates, taste and utility all compacted into one.domain registration

If dreams were really tangible ?

Dreams OK, dreaming no harm but dreaming beyond reality based proportions is that bounces back to setback and chagrin. What happened the other day in share market was an example in this context. A tearful Tuesday as 22nd of January'07 was called by many, it was a scene to watch lot many investers weeping and crying not only at Dalal Street but equallly in different places after they found themselves hit hard on share prices falling down to the extreme. They were the people who catastrophically failed in their biddings losing whatever money they had otherwise collected to form a resource buying large number of shares making them rich within minutes. Sensex losing 4097 points at a stretch was a colossal setback to the investers. As share trading is now defined, it is no more taken as a game or gambling or just a speculative manoeuvring -it is considered to be a scientific tool based on logical calculations. Such a definition adds grace to stock trading and better it is always for the investors to take it as such only without going for bids just in the air. The factor that actually results into a nightmarish experience of disappointment is investors tendency to build castle in the air with dreams of immediately becoming some Ambani or a Tata by investing a small sum with the hope to get tens of time returns. Expecting returns is alright but why blame the system if investments are made on an imaginary footing. One does feel like sympathising with the victims of shares prices miserably falling down on seeing their tearful faces like it was done by several channels on TV but such a feeling of sympathy fades on realising that they are themselves to blame for the setback. Why they behaved unrealistic while trading in stocks? Had the investors behaved with a rationale sticking to the adage that 'slow but steady wins the race', the amount of concerns and tension might have been minimised to the level they could easily afford to tolerate.

Who deserves it ?

No dearth of contenders for the most covetous position of Bharat Ratna in country like India where for everything on earth there is a clash amongs politicians - be it a trifling matter or the one that is big enough to secure a status. Even names unheard in the past or hardly heard ever are proposed for this prestigious award, the highest one in the country. Great stalwarts or the personalities who sacrificed a lot for the country and whose contribution is something that makes history are the ones who really deserve as against those who did nothing except serving their own interest. What Charles Lamb once said as 'Politics is the last refuge of the scoundrels' quite sounds to be true very often when things are measured based on their behavioural pattern. Atal Bihari Bajpai, the ex Prime Minister of India, proposed by another veteran giant sized politician could be one proposition to be understood based on his sacrifice and contribution. Then different names started pouring in like BSP proposing late Kanshiram, comrades in West Bengal suggesting Jyoti Basu, Shiv Sena in Maharashtra talking of Bal Thakerey and different other groups suggesting various other heavy weights in some field or the other. Possibly there was never such a big list submitted for consideration in the past. Democratically there can be any name(s) proposed for any position but Bharat Ratna is not the matter pertaining to some mohalla or locality -it is something that concerns the whole country. After all dignity, status, stature and above all being above board are the essential ingredients to make a Bharat Ratna and this can't be taken lightly by those who count for the purpose.

Save buckets to buy more !

Shopping and buying is a routine for every body but buying with a discipline of economy is an art, an art that pays. Monied people too, unless they are highly extravagant type, need a restraint on wasting money and this they can very well do not by slashing their budget but just by applying the required rationale while going for a buying spree. Most dominantly important a factor in this context is to make necessary selection based primarily on quality coupled with the comparative prices. It doesn't at all mean that a buyer has to run helter skelter to ascertain prices in different shopping centers for the purpose of comparison. All this in totality is available online at http://www.savebuckets.co.uk/ which amply enables a buyer to select items to purchase, verify the quality aspect, pickup the chosen items from a large scale variety avilable on the site itself and make the requisite comparison cost wise. This beside, there is a bumper amount of help and support available to customer in case they require some guidance in the matters of selection of items or more elaborate details on their quality, availability and price. Further more, if article(s) the buyer wishes to purchase and the same is/are not available in the huge list of salable items in thousands on the site, the offer is there for instant help. You just make an indent and your requisition is promptly met for which the only requirement on your part is to point out your need which feature is distinctly elaborated on the website itself. A singular online contact capable of generating plurally rich advantages for the consumers who shop is the most laudable feature of the aforesaid website.compare prices

No compromise on merit !

Many an items are there in the market which are easily purchasable and every one does it to the extent his pocket permits. Merit is much different a phenomenon which one just honestly can't afford to purchase in an open market howsoever best he tries. People in politics are however an exception as they are the kind who can manage any thing like if some body doesn't fit into a job on merit pattern, there is a readily available device to reserve the post(s) for a particular category. This is not honest. Social justice is the need for every society but merit is an element which should not be compromised for the purpose as there are ample ways to bring upliftment to different low level layers of people both financially and otherwise. Sam Petroda, the head of Rashtriya Gyan Aayog opined the other day that it is unfair to force reservation in educational institutions for the simple reason that it only downgrades the merit. Opportunities must be offered for different caders of the society to get necessary education and training for a career building. These opportunities are a must no doubt for all those who have acquired necessary skill for the job not only by way of hard labour put in by them but more than that on the basis of the merit the candidates possessed. Reserve the scope to learn and get educated, don't reserve them by artifically adding extra marks to the candidates simply because they belong to a particular caste or creed.

What worth it is to blog?

The current cultural revolution all over the world has it that writing scenario is fast switching over to blogging, blogging on all matters, be it serious writing, publishing ads or playing online games. Access to any website promoted by the sponsorers instantly shows thousands of posts as if the entire world is writing with their blogs as a tool for the purpose. I too have been feeling so enthusiastic about it considering it as the most powerful weapon so far as the expressions are concerned. Satisfying to the maximum with utility orientation, this tool hardly has any match. I have number of websites on varying types. Keeping and maintaining a bigger number of blogs is a task in itself and sounds so cumbersome at times but the very mechanism involved in the process continues tobe interesting and self satisfying coupled with some financial benefits too. I believe in following the rules but many a times, I do admit, I miserably fail to adhere to them in the matters of blogging. Every sponsorer has most voluminous a package of rules which a blogger has to accept before embarking the task to blog. Rules of one sponsorer are most often conflicting with those of others and it is hardly possible for a blogger to meticulously follow the discipline. Even if the working is quite within the frame of the rules, it is not necessary that there is no problem left as many a times a blogger is confronted with hidden clashes amongst the sponsorers. Rules permit a blogger to write for different sponsorers on the same blog but this is something which becomes the root cause for the problem. In practical terms possibly no owners/sponsorers are prepared to tolerate others on the same site. Situations like this are a matter of

embarassment to the bloggers who find it too difficult to freely concentrate on writing. The problem assumes much graver proportions when it is found that the sponsorer are normally not prepared to enter into any correspondence on individual areas of difficulty. They never lag behind in  most vociferously claiming that they are always prepared to extend all support to individual bloggers but factually it doesn't hold good at all. They either don't reply the queries or, if at all they do so, it is an answer curt and blunt. How nice it would be if those who manage the field for blogging behave more realistically without causing any embarassing situation to the bloggers.
