Zimbabwe the Land of Poor Millionaires

Hari — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 15:55:26 +0000

Due to the country’s hyperinflation rate of over 231,000,000% a year, the financial authorities were forced to release larger and larger bills in order to help people buy the simplest things without carrying bricks of bills with them. When the $10,000,000 bill was released early this year, it was worth about $4 US, but it soon became as worthless as the previous bills and now you can find the 100 billion dollars bill which you can use to buy 3 eggs.

When people want to go to a restaurant they are again forced to carry mountains of money with them. This all began in the year 2000, when president Mugabe came to power and transformed the whole country into a giant agricultural field. Now the inflation is through the roof, 80% of the population is unemployed and a third of the population has left the country. At least they can take pride in the fact that they have the highest denomination bills in the world.

Indo-Us Nuclear Deal.

Hari — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 17:34:48 +0000

After burning the midnight oil, tying the loose ends in the nuclear civilian nuclear pact, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and US President George W Bush signed the much-awaited nuclear pact.
The deal was the centrepiece of President George W Bush’s first visit to India. “The deal is done. The details are being worked out and the exact language and formulation (of the deal) will be in the joint statement,” National Security Advisor M K Narayanan said after the talks between the two leaders. With the Government set to fast-forward implementation of the Indo-US nuclear deal, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has held talks with world leaders, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, whose country is the chair of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), apparently to garner support. Besides Merkel, Singh held telephonic conversations with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, whose countries are key members of the 45-nation NSG. During the talks, Singh is understood to have sought their support for India’s case in the NSG, which has to give a waiver to allow New Delhi to have civil nuclear cooperation with the international community. Racing against time to operationalise the nuclear deal with the US, India is seeking an early meeting of the NSG so that its case can be taken up and cleared. In this regard, Germany will play a key role. The Government has already started sending its ministers and some senior officials to various NSG countries to muster support.

India is still 50 years back

I just can’t imagine why we Indians are still 50 years back than American. But i can tell the one and only why we are like this is politics in India. I have to accept we have the worst ever political system in India. I don’t mean all of the politicians are like that but because of some of them who corrupt the whole nation gets a bad name. I will tell you one difference between US politics and Indian politics, as we all know there was a strong competition between Obama and Hilary, once Hilary lost the game and what she said was” lets backup Obama”. See the courtesy of her and did any one Indian did that. Instead they keep on blaming each others and take revenges on each other when they are in power. They just try to be the center of attraction by implementing a stupid rule which faces the opposition of the people. I have read that ” Government is for the people” and why the hell they want to implement a rule against people. This is totally unfair. Another stupid example of Indian Politics, Politicians blaming and filing case on movie makers for some of the scene in the movie. This is totally rubbish to do such thing instead showing there interest in helping the poor people or support the side which currently rules the state. This is a never ending issue and we are 50 Years back and i hope this condition will only change after 50 years. Its all the dream i don’t want my dream to remain as dream.

India is the best

Hari — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 08:59:03 +0000

The reason wht is say India is the best is because o other country other than India has this kind of man power. The country is China and it is already at its best and only lacking in English and in software technologies and once if it gains the power of it and it is unstoppable. As all knows Europe is the safest continent and the only reason they seek India is Man Power. We have a billion of people and the only thing is we haven’t discovered the talented people. Whose mistake is that, we can’t even spot it. its simply means we are not motivated. Again i will blame the Indian politics who has not been a motivation factor for the people of its country. Of course we had the great mind in our India but only are recognized world wide unlike the other people like Armstrong, Nobel, and the list goes on. The people must consider working in India rather than going outside the country and work for other country. They must stop think self and try to contribute something which they can. This situation can only be changes by the Indian Politicians and hope it happens soon.
